Chapter 61: Married in Secret for Five Years

~8 min read 1,451 words

Jiang Wenzhou held a glass of red wine that had already been sipped; his chest felt hot and excited. This was the glass Qin Shu had drunk from halfway, left sitting on the tray.

On the rim of the red wine glass, there was still a faint trace, a red lip print pressed onto the glass.

Jiang Wenzhou picked up the wine glass and played with it nonchalantly, then pressed his lips against the red lip print and took a sip. The sweet, mellow wine went down his throat, leaving him feeling intoxicated.

It was as if he had indirectly kissed Qin Shu's fragrant lips; through the air, he could even smell the scent on the woman's body.

The Yu family's engagement banquet instantly hit the trending searches, spreading with rapid speed; in less than half a minute, it occupied all the trending topics.

Yu Jianli smashed his phone, his face gloomy: "Get it taken down for me immediately!"

"Are you people in the Public Relations Department just eating for free?"

The head of the Public Relations Department was terrified: "Chairman, someone is operating behind the scenes, and the other party's power is above ours."

"Who? Who dares to go against my Yu Group?"

"The Gu Family's Crown Prince, Gu Tingyan."

Yu Jianli was consumed by rage; he raised his hand and slapped Zhou Jinchuan hard across the face: "Why did you provoke your boss, Gu Tingyan?"

Zhou Jinchuan's lip was bleeding; he raised his hand to wipe it: "I don't know."

He also didn't know why Gu Tingyan wanted to target him. Zhou Jinchuan was at the height of his popularity, having become an overnight sensation and bringing the company significant profit; the company should have been handling his PR and covering it up.

Instead of letting him hang on the trending searches.

Yu Xing threw herself onto the man, crying as she looked at her father: "Dad, don't hit him, it's all my fault."

Yu Jianli's face was gloomy: "Of course you are at fault!"

He said, frustrated that she hadn't lived up to his expectations: "Playing around is one thing, but you actually took photos of these things!"

Yu Xing's body trembled slightly: "Dad, help me, I will definitely live a good life with Jinchuan from now on."

She tugged at the corner of Zhou Jinchuan's clothes, looking at him with pleading eyes: "Jinchuan, I was too young before, I hadn't met you yet, you have to allow me to make mistakes."

"Everyone has a past, and I didn't mind that you were with your ex-girlfriend for ten years."

The woman pleaded in a low voice: "Forgive me, I will definitely listen to you from now on, hmm?"

Yu Jianli looked at him with a stern gaze: "What do you think?"

Zhou Jinchuan raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of the woman's eyes, his eyes pitch-black as he looked at Yu Jianli: "Uncle, I don't mind."

"Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?"

Yu Xing's reputation was ruined; if she looked for someone else later, men from good families wouldn't look at her either.

Zhou Jinchuan was good-looking, had become an overnight sensation in the entertainment industry, had the potential of a top-tier star, and had a bright future. With the full support of the Yu Group, he could become a future top-tier star and international film emperor, which could bring the group significant profit.

Yu Jianli said in a low voice: "You two go and get your marriage certificate tomorrow."

Zhou Jinchuan knew this meant he had to take responsibility for Yu Xing to the end, tied together for a lifetime.

He said: "Hmm, I will go and get the certificate with Xingxing tomorrow."

Yu Xing's small face, covered in tear stains, was instantly filled with surprise.

The next day.

Yu Xing and Zhou Jinchuan walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, looking at the red book in their hands; the unease in their hearts finally settled.

This time, Zhou Jinchuan was completely hers.

Just as the two stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Yu Xing and Zhou Jinchuan's phones vibrated non-stop. Yu Xing answered, and her manager sent her a message: "My Eldest Miss, how did you offend President Gu? We've been blacklisted by the Gu Group!"

Yu Xing was shocked; why would Gu Tingyan blacklist her?

Could it be just because of two low-class, insignificant characters?

Yu Xing had checked on Qin Shu; she had no status and no background, just an orphan, and still the marginalized foster daughter of the Chu Family, with only an old hag living in a nursing home.

Su Tuantuan was even easier to bully, a pure orphan.

Gu Tingyan couldn't possibly blacklist her because of these two, could he?

Zhou Jinchuan opened his phone; various brands were also returning his contracts. His assistant said: "Brother Jinchuan, the boss has spoken, saying you should rest well for a period of time."

The boss was the Vice President of Xingchen Entertainment, the person in charge of managing them.

Resting at this time meant being put on ice; his traffic and exposure would both weaken. After this period passed, the entertainment industry changed too quickly; by the time he came back out, how many people would still remember him?

"What's the reason?"

The assistant: "The boss said you offended someone you shouldn't have."

Zhou Jinchuan said calmly: "I've been blacklisted too."

Yu Xing was stunned and immediately called her father: "Dad, go find Gu Tingyan and ask him why he blacklisted me and Jinchuan!"

When Yu Jianli heard the name Gu Tingyan, his heart shook; he hung up the phone and immediately went to the Gu Group.

Last night, Gu Tingyan had flown back overnight.

Yu Jianli went to the front desk and said politely: "I am here to see President Gu."

The receptionist revealed a formulaic smile: "Do you have an appointment?"

"No, I must see him right now. Call him and say the Chairman of the Yu Group is here to see him."

The receptionist made a call, stated the matter, hung up, and looked at Yu Jianli apologetically: "I'm sorry, our President is busy."

"Please go back and make an appointment first."

Yu Xing and Zhou Jinchuan walked in one after the other, looking fierce: "Why did your President blacklist Zhou Jinchuan?"

The receptionist cast her gaze toward the person behind her and said calmly: "Every decision our President makes has his reasons; as subordinates, we have no way to speculate."

As soon as Qin Shu and Su Tuantuan walked in, they saw the three of them being blocked outside.

Yu Xing saw the two of them, her eyes sweeping over them sharply, landing on Qin Shu's vixen-like face, and sneered: "It was you who seduced Gu Tingyan, right? To make him blacklist us?"

Her eyes were contemptuous: "I didn't expect you to have the ability to climb into Gu Tingyan's bed."

Other than that, she really couldn't find any reason why Gu Tingyan would want to blacklist them.

Su Tuantuan's eyes were angry: "Do you think everyone is like you, shameless enough to be a mistress and climb into a man's bed?"

Yu Xing took out her marriage certificate and showed it to her, sneering: "I am married to Zhou Jinchuan."

"Now, you are the mistress."

Su Tuantuan's face instantly drained of all color.

Qin Shu cast her gaze toward Yu Xing, her voice indifferent: "A mistress rising to power, even with a marriage certificate, cannot wash away your true colors."

She let out a scoff and looked at the man: "Mr. Zhou, your girlfriend plays so wild, can you even keep her in check?"

"Be careful about wearing a green hat."

Stung by the remark, Yu Xing raised her hand to slap Qin Shu, her eyes fierce: "You little bitch, be careful or I'll kill you in a heartbeat!"

Her hand was seized from behind, and Gu Tingyan's voice was as cold as ice: "Who gave you the right to touch my wife?"

Yu Xing shuddered; wife?

"President Gu, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Tingyan's gaze landed on Qin Shu, a smile on his face: "Wife, come here."

Qin Shu raised her eyes to look at him, but did not move.

Gu Tingyan raised an eyebrow, walked over, and wrapped his arm around Qin Shu's waist; his tall, upright figure enveloped her as he looked at the three people opposite them with a cold, piercing gaze.

Yu Jianli looked at Gu Tingyan in disbelief: "President Gu, she, she, she is your wife? When did you get married?"

Gu Tingyan: "We have been secretly married for five years."
