Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Old Master Gu frowned and looked at his youngest son suspiciously. He did not believe his son’s words.

“Why haven’t I heard you mention it before? Are you just giving me an excuse just to brush me off?”

Gu Duo looked at him speechlessly. Old Master Gu cleared his throat but still did not give up on matchmaking Gu Duo and Jiang Yue. Old Master Gu took out his phone and flipped through the photo album. “Jiang Yue is really not bad. She’s pretty and nice. Let me show you the photo.”

Old Master Gu pulled out Jiang Yue’s selfie in an attempt to move his youngest son’s heart, but he did not notice that Gu Duo’s expression suddenly changed.

In the photo, it was the woman who had set up Liu Feng last night!

Gu Duo’s eyes were gloomy, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.

How could he take a fancy to such a sinister and vicious woman?

Judging from Liu Feng’s tone last night, Jiang Yue seemed to be her family. Combined with the rumors that he had heard recently, Gu Duo slowly narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Liu Feng was the missing Elder Miss of the Jiang family.

Gu Duo laughed softly and could not help but sigh at the miracle of fate. There was actually such a fate between the two of them.

She, Liu Feng, was supposed to be his wife.

“What are you laughing at?”

A look of joy flashed across Old Master Gu’s eyes and he eagerly leaned over. “What? You like her?!”

Gu Duo coldly threw the phone back and nodded lazily. Before Old Master Gu could be ecstatic, he lazily added, “I like the Elder Miss that the Jiang family has just been found.”

“Elder Miss?”

Although Old Master Gu had already retreated to the backline, he still heard the rumors about the Jiang family. He frowned. “That girl who grew up in the countryside?”

Gu Duo raised his eyebrows. Liu Feng’s bearing and strength did not seem like a wild girl raised in the countryside.

“No!”

Old Master Gu had never seen Liu Feng before, but how could a country girl who had not seen the world and had not received a high-level aristocratic family’s education be worthy of the Gu family’s Young Master who was blessed by the heavens?

Old Master Gu glared at Gu Duo angrily. “Even if you’re not willing to marry Jiang Yue, you don’t have to use such a crude lie to fool me, do you?!”

“Do you not believe me?”

Gu Duo crossed his hands and casually leaned against the back of the chair. There was a trace of wild unruliness between his brows. “Otherwise, I can go to the Jiang family right now to propose marriage.”

“You dare?!”

Old Master Gu was furious. He was helpless against this rebellious and opinionated young son of his, “If you dare to marry her, I’ll break your legs right now!”

“Then you’d better hurry up and get up from the hospital bed.”

Gu Duo raised his eyebrows lazily and stood up calmly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Because I’ll marry her very soon.”

Gu Duo slowly left the hospital after putting Old Master Gu’s heaven-shaking roar to the back of his mind.

A reporter crouched near the hospital ward and immediately secretly took photos of his back. The news was spread to the inner circle of Jing City and instantly confirmed the rumor that Third Young Master Gu had returned to Jing City.

Third Young Master Gu and Old Master Gu had always been at odds. Previously, Gu Duo had gone abroad in a fit of pique for many years and had never returned to the country. At the moment, he had actually returned to Jing City. Everyone could not help but guess the reason for Third Young Master Gu’s return.

Jiang Yue was lying on the bed and idly scrolling through her phone. When she saw the news in the group and the tall and handsome back view, she jumped out of the bed in shock.

Gu Duo had returned to the country. He really had to return to Jing City!

Jiang Yue screamed with excitement. Gu Duo must have come back for the wedding. The original agreement between the Jiang family and the Gu family was for both parties to get married at the age of 23. Soon, it would be Jiang Yue’s 23rd birthday.

Therefore, Gu Duo must have come back to the country to marry her!

Jiang Yue’s face became redder and redder. She could not help but rush to Qin Xi’s room and pass the photo to Qin Xi. “Mom, Gu Duo has come back! They said this is Gu Duo!”

She had never seen Gu Duo before, but even from the back view, she could see how elegant this man was!

Qin Xi’s eyes lit up and could not help but reveal a delighted smile. “That’s great, Yueyue, you’re going to be Mrs. Gu soon!”

Jiang Yue’s ears heated up at her words, but she immediately thought of another hidden danger.

Jiang Yue gently bit her lower lip and could not help but feel a sense of crisis in her heart. “But, Liu Feng is back now. Will the Gu family suddenly change the candidate for marriage?”

Jiang Yue hesitantly moved to Qin XI’s side and whispered, “The Chu family shouldn’t have given up on the marriage alliance with our family, right? Can we make Liu Feng…?”

“You don’t have to worry.”

Qin Xi’s eyes dimmed slightly and a cold light flickered faintly. Her tone contained a trace of malice and deep thought.. “I’ll settle it as soon as possible.”
