Gu Chen held Su Yu’s hand tightly and said coldly, “The Su family’s marriage was decided by grandfather on his own accord. I’ve never agreed to it before.”

Qi Hong was choked by Gu Chen’s words. Indeed, the marriage between Gu Chen and the Su family was personally decided by Gu Chen’s grandfather when Gu Chen was still young.

Back then, the Su family’s power and influence were on par with the Gu family. The marriage between the two families could be considered a strong alliance. However, the Su family was declining and had long fallen out of the top family category.

Moreover, Gu Chen and Su Zhentong had only met a few times. Even Qi Hong herself was not very satisfied with this marriage. She had been looking for other suitable candidates for Gu Chen.

Qi Hong sighed and sat on the sofa at the side. Her tone had softened a lot too, “Alright, I know that you are not satisfied with the marriage with the Su family, but you should not marry a random girl. You should not embarrass me on such an occasion.”

“You should have discussed this with me. I’ll look for other marriage partners for you. The daughter of the Lin family is not bad. She’s well-educated, talented, and good-looking. She’s a perfect match for you.”

Gu Chen placed Su Yu’s hand on his heart. “I don’t need other marriage partners. I have someone I love.”

“Do you have to make me so angry?”

Seeing that Gu Chen was still stubborn, Qi Hong was very unhappy.

Su Yu let go of Gu Chen’s hand and walked to the side to pour a cup of tea for Qi Hong. “Auntie, please calm down. We were wrong in this matter. I hope you won’t blame Gu Chen too much.”

Qi Hong did not take the tea that Su Yu handed over. Instead, she scrutinized Su Yu, “There are only the three of us here. Miss, you don’t have to act anymore. I know that my son must have spent money to hire you back to trick me. After you take the money, you can leave. There’s nothing for you to do here.”

Su Yu looked at Qi Hong in confusion. “Act? Aunty, you seem to have misunderstood. We’re not acting.”

Seeing Su Yu’s reaction, Qi Hong’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at her son in disbelief. “You’re really married to her?”

Gu Chen guessed that Qi Hong would not believe him. He took out the marriage certificate from his pocket and handed it to her. “I just got it yesterday. It’s still warm.”

Qi Hong snatched the red book from Gu Chen’s hand and examined it carefully. When she found that it was really a marriage certificate, she was so anxious that her brows knitted together.

She thought that Gu Chen had made such a mess today just to break off the engagement with the Su family. She did not expect that he had really married this woman?

Seeing that she believed him, Gu Chen took the marriage certificate back and put it away. “Can you believe it now, Mother?”

“Are you crazy? You two have only known each other for a few days and you’re getting married? Have you investigated this woman’s family background and character?”

Qi Hong was so angry at Gu Chen that she almost vomited blood. She really could not believe that her son would make such an irrational move like getting married in a flash.

Without waiting for Gu Chen to reply, Su Yu patted her chest and promised sincerely, “Auntie, don’t worry. I definitely have no intention of coveting the family’s assets. We are truly in love.”

Gu Chen put his arm around Su Yu’s shoulder and defended her, “I know what kind of person she is the best. You just need to accept the fact that you have a daughter-in-law.”

“You!”

Qi Hong was so angry that she could not say a word.

Gu Chen stopped pestering Qi Hong and asked Su Yu gently, “You must be tired after running around for the whole day, right? I’ll bring you to rest.”

Su Yu nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Just like that, the two of them walked away under Qi Hong’s angry gaze.

When they returned to Gu Chen’s room, the moment the door closed, the two of them immediately let go of each other’s hands.

“I didn’t expect Master Gu acting skills to be so good. I thought I was really master Gu little wife.”

Su Yu sat on the stool beside the bed and rested her elbows on the table. She looked at Gu Chen teasingly.

Su Yu was no longer as weak as before. Her aura was strong and her gaze was determined.

Gu Chen loosened his tie with his slender fingers and leaned closer to Su Yu. He said in a low voice, “Thank you for your compliment. Miss Su is a natural actress too. The feeling of being relied on by Miss Su just now is memorable.”
