The dreams of all the young girls in the Imperial Capital were collectively shattered today.

Because their dream lover, the person in charge of the Gu Group, Gu Chen, had brought back a delicate and charming woman who claimed to be his wife.

Although Gu Chen had made a marriage agreement with the Su family’s daughter, the marriage had been delayed for many years, so everyone took it for granted gradually.

They always felt that they still had a chance to get Gu Chen the rich guy.

Now that this woman had appeared, it had completely shattered their fantasies.

At the Gu family’s banquet.

A tall, elegant man hugged the petite woman in his arms tightly.

“Let me introduce you to my new wife, Su Yu.”

His tone was gentle, and the way he looked at the woman was full of tenderness.

The woman responded with a loving gaze. The two of them were lovers in love.

Although the woman’s surname was Su, she was not Su Zhen, the daughter of Su Group who was engaged to Gu Chen.

Who was this woman?

The guests sitting down had many questions in their hearts, they looked at each other. The whole place was silent. No one dared to speak.

Many young women’s eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.

Qi Hong was shocked and angry. She had not received any news about her son’s marriage.

But in front of everyone, Qi Hong did not want to embarrass the Qi family. She could only suppress her anger and stand up to break the deadlock with a smile, “Xiao Chen, your joke is too big. The uncles are getting old. They will take your words seriously.”

These words were giving Gu Chen a way out. As long as he admitted that it was a joke, there was still room for redemption.

Gu Chen planted a kiss on Su Yu’s forehead and said with determination in his eyes, “I’m not joking. Su Yu and I have registered our marriage. We are legally married.”

“You…”

Qi Hong was so angry that she could not speak. She frowned and glared at the two of them angrily.

Everyone gasped in shock. They didn’t expect Gu Chen to embarrass their mother on the spot for a woman.

This woman must be very important to Gu Chen.

Some people with evil intentions secretly became happy. They felt that they had caught Gu Chen’s weak spot.

Gu Chen guessed that someone would have some bad intentions. He swept his gaze across the crowd and his tone hardened a little, “My wife’s body is weak, and she’s new to the Imperial Capital. I don’t want her to be hurt, or else I won’t let go of someone who makes my wife unhappy.”

Gu Chen’s words were light, but they made the atmosphere even colder.

He had always presented himself as a gentle and refined person, but the entire Imperial Capital knew that if he got angry, the consequences would be very tragic.

Qi Hong was so angry that it was difficult for her to breathe. She felt that Gu Chen’s words were a reminder to her not to touch the person he loved.

She walked to Gu Chen’s side and examined Su Yu from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze. She then turned her gaze back to Gu Chen and instructed in a low voice, “Follow me.”

Su Yu seemed to be frightened by Qi Hong’s gaze and timidly retreated behind Gu Chen. Her weak and obedient appearance made her look like a little white rabbit.

Many of the men present felt as if their hearts had been stolen by Su Yu. She was extremely good-looking, and she did not have an aggressive type of beauty. Coupled with her actions and expression, it was hard for them not to protect her.

They now roughly understood why Su Yu was able to capture Gu Chen’s affection.

Who would not be confused by such a level of temptation?

Gu Chen hugged Su Yu’s shoulders tightly and comforted her in a low voice, “It’s alright, I’m here.”

Su Yu blinked her starry eyes and nodded.

Qi Hong looked at the loving couple and couldn’t help but feel angry. She glared at Su Yu fiercely and turned around to walk towards the living room of the Gu family’s old residence.

After that, the two of them followed Qi Hong and left the banquet venue.

“Nonsense! This is simply nonsense! Do you know what the situation is like today? Who’s sitting down there? You’re carrying the burden of your marriage with the Su family, and now you’ve brought back another woman. Where do you want the Gu family to put their face? Do you still mother in your eyes?”

Only the three of them dared to vent their anger in the luxurious living room of the Gu family.
