The words "Brother-in-law Gong".
In an instant, Gu Qiqi returned to her senses.
When she heard the old master's insistence on her marriage with the Mu family, she was stunned!
Marriage?
No, no, no. Grandpa, you really don't have to be so good to me.
Let's leave that scumbag Mu Liuchuan to Gu Xuexue so that the scumbags and b*tches can be matched!
"Grandpa, I don't want this marriage anymore!"
Just as the two old men were arguing fiercely, a clear female voice rang.
The quarreling immediately fell silent.
A few seconds later.
Old Master asked, "Qiqi, what did you say?"
Old Madam: "At least you know your limits. You shouldn't have wanted it in the first place!"
A few uncles and elders said, "Qiqi, an engagement isn't child's play!"
Faced with everyone's reaction, Gu Qiqi was calm as usual. "Yes, I'm very serious. I'm not interested in marriage. Gu Xuexue likes it. Just give it to her."
Gu Xuexue was speechless. Why didn't she feel happy at all? It was as if she had been given alms by a bookworm!
But Gu Meifeng was very happy. "Sure. Our Xuexue and Mu Liuchuan were childhood sweethearts. They were originally very compatible!"
If the Gong family was said to be a distant star that one yearned for beyond reach…
Then, the Mu family was like a big tree near her hand.
She knew how to weigh the pros and cons!
The old master's face sank. "What nonsense are you talking about?! Childhood sweethearts with your future brother-in-law? You have the cheek to say such things?"
Gu Meifeng said in embarrassment, "Dad, that's not what I meant…"
Old Master ignored her and turned to Gu Qiqi. "Qiqi, don't be afraid. I'll stand up for you. This time, I'll definitely choose a good family for you. The Mu family has two children. Tell me which one you like!"
Gu Qiqi's lips twitched.
Grandpa sincerely planned for her.
But she really didn't fancy any of them.
"Grandpa, if there's really an engagement… I…"
Gu Qiqi muttered to herself for a moment.
Gu Meifeng and the Old Madam were extremely nervous!
They were afraid that she would agree immediately.
But in the next second…
A trace of determination flashed across Gu Qiqi's exquisite face. "I want to end the engagement."
She should have settled her scores with Mu Liuchuan long ago.
But she had yet to see Mu Liuchuan in this lifetime. Since someone started this conversation today, she would say the ugly words first.
In this lifetime, it wasn't Mu Liuchuan's turn to withdraw from this marriage.
She would end it first!
Everyone thought that she was just young and shy.
But they never expected that she really wanted to end the engagement!
For a moment, everyone's expressions were different. It was fascinating.
Of course, Old Madam and Gu Meifeng were very happy. But Old Master frowned deeply. "Qiqi, do you really think so? Is there really no one forcing you?"
Gu Qiqi nodded. "No."
The old master took a deep breath. "Do you know what kind of impact this casual withdrawal from the marriage will have on your reputation? Perhaps the upper circles in the Imperial Capital will never accept a girl like you who casually withdrew from the marriage. Your future husband's family might also mind this!"
Gu Qiqi still nodded. "It's fine, Grandpa."
What was there to mind? Those who minded these weren't fit to be her man.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the old master's face.
Previously, he had indeed considered other candidates for Qiqi—Gong Sheng and even Chu Junmo.
But with the Mu family's engagement in front of her, the other candidates were nothing.
"Qiqi, think about it carefully!" Old Master said sincerely and meaningfully. "Some people might be good to you, but they might not keep their word. It's important to keep your promise. It's the same whether it's a man or a woman. At least, with this engagement placed here, the Mu family has never said that they won't admit it. They are still keeping their word…"
Before he could finish speaking…
A cold and domineering male voice traveled from the entrance of the hall. "There's no need to consider! I don't mind!"
Before the person arrived, his voice arrived first.
The sonorous and powerful sound of leather boots further demonstrated that man's domineering aura!
