Old Master Gu suddenly realized something. "The person who came to the Gu family to fetch Qiqi and Xiao Bei that day wasn't your older brother Gong Sheng at all. It was… you?"
Gong Jue replied, "Yes."
Old Master said, "But you didn't mention the engagement that day!"
Gong Jue curved his lips. An undetectable glint flashed across his eyes. "I told you to hand Qiqi to me. Don't worry. Grandpa, you promised, didn't you?"
Old Master asked, "Did… did I agree?"
Gong Jue: "Yes. You agreed back then and handed Qiqi to me that night."
The old master choked.
Why did he feel like he had been scammed?
What was terrifying was that he didn't know that he had been scammed. It was only at this moment that he realized that he had been scammed for a long time.
Back then, they had agreed to let Qiqi be an intern. He had entrusted Qiqi to him to study well, but he didn't say that he would hand over Qiqi to him.
It was different when they interacted with each other, okay?
Gong Jue remained calm as usual. His gaze was deep. "It's fine if you don't remember. That painting is a marriage token. If you accept it, it means that you're admitting that we're engaged."
Old Master Gu was speechless.
Gu Qiqi listened silently.
She couldn't help but admire Gong Jue in her heart. He actually dug a pit so long ago!
This man was so infuriating when he was stupid, but he was actually so terrifying when he was scheming?
Who would have thought that giving a painting would imply such a deep meaning and plan?
Anyway, she definitely didn't notice it back then.
Just as she was sighing.
She recalled that Gong Jue actually deliberately buried such ambiguous lines at that time, asking her grandpa to hand her over to him… These kinds of thoughts ran wild.
She felt that he wasn't evil anymore.
He was scheming, okay?
She only wanted to test him just now to see if he could perfectly handle the objection from these gossipy relatives of the Gu family.
She didn't expect that he would directly choke the most difficult old man to speechlessness.
She could only secretly tug at Gong Jue's sleeve to signal him to stop when he was ahead.
On the master seat at the dining table, Old Master Gu was already about to vomit blood.
He thought that Gong Jue was a technological nerd. He had a burly figure and an explosive IQ, but his EQ was definitely lacking.
He didn't expect that this boy was actually very scheming.
As early as the first time they met, he had already prepared the foreshadowing that followed.
He was indeed the head of the Gong Corporation.
Even an engagement had a strategy!
The old master held back for a long time but didn't say anything. Finally, he said, "Who asked you to call me grandpa!"
Everyone was speechless. Old Master, your counterattack was good! You finally made Gong Jue speechless, right?
Gong Jue said, "Grandpa, Qiqi isn't full yet. Let's eat first, okay?"
The chief avoided the important matter and even appeared to be protecting his wife. He really didn't forget to show off his love while retaliating. This method was advanced!
Gu Qiqi was speechless. Very good. His answer was appropriate. But why did he make her sound like a useless foodie? Rejection!
"Add two chairs." Gong Jue ordered lightly as if he was instructing a servant.
Before everyone could react, Gong Jue had already supported Gu Qiqi and personally pulled out a chair for her. He spread out a napkin and sat down at the main table.
He didn't care at all. Apart from the Old Madam, everyone at this table was male!
Uncle Gu reminded him. "Master Jue, the woman should be sitting at the other table…"
Gong Jue threw him a cold glance. "My woman is naturally on the same level as me!"
What a good "equal"!
Everyone was dumbfounded for a long time and couldn't say a word.
The Gu family's custom of men and women eating separately at important occasions had been… broken just like that!
Gu Qiqi's influence shocked everyone once more.
