Chapter 77: Mother and Son Are on the Verge of a Fight

Gu Jingzhan passed by Wen Xueru and Wen Yu and walked straight to Xiang Wanqiao.

His cold and slender hands gently held her waist.

He protected Xiang Wanqiao tightly and did not give Wen Xueru any face. Excuse me, madam, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at my lover here?

Wen Xueru pursed her lips tightly and looked extremely ugly.

Wen Yu wanted to speak for Wen Xueru: Cousin, no matter what, your aunt is you…

Before the word mother came out, Gu Jingzhan swept over with a sharp and gloomy look, which frightened Wen Yu so much that she immediately shut up and dared not continue.

Wen Xueru ignored Gu Jingzhan’s cold words and still said stubbornly: Anyway, I don’t like her, and I won’t admit that she is my daughter-in-law.

Qiaoqiao doesn’t need your love, let alone your recognition. Gu Jingzhan retorted in a deep voice, and every word was cold and piercing.

Xiang Wanqiao stood beside Gu Jingzhan and could clearly feel the coldness that penetrated deep into his bones and the resentment towards Wen Xueru that spread from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Jingzhan’s tone became colder and colder, with a warning tone: I don’t allow anyone to say anything bad about Qiaoqiao. She is the most perfect existence in my heart.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in silence, ready to explode.

Seeing this, Xiang Wanqiao gently tugged at the hem of Gu Jingzhan’s suit jacket and spoke to ease the tense atmosphere.

Ah Zhan, I’m a little hungry. Come with me to eat something.

When Gu Jingzhan heard Xiang Wanqiao’s crisp and pleasant voice, the cold breath wrapped around him instantly dissipated half a bit.

He looked at her with a sidelong glance and softened his voice: Let’s go home and eat.

After speaking, Gu Jingzhan said no more and walked away with Xiang Wanqiao in his arms.

Downstairs, in the hall.

Gu Jingzhan wanted to leave directly, but Xiang Wanqiao felt that it was inappropriate, so she pulled him to say hello to Madam Gu.

When Mrs. Gu heard that they were leaving, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay: Today is grandma’s birthday party, stay and have dinner before leaving.

Gu Jingzhan said coldly, they don’t like Qiaoqiao, staying will only make her feel wronged.

They just met Xiaoqiao for the first time, and they don’t know her yet, so they have misunderstandings about her.

Mrs. Gu said frankly: Before I met Xiaoqiao, I also had some prejudice against her. But after meeting her today, I am quite happy.

Gu Jingzhan’s handsome face was always cold, and the old lady’s words obviously couldn’t move him.

Today, Mrs. Gu felt more directly how much Gu Jingzhan cared about Xiang Wanqiao, and she also knew that the root of this matter was Xiang Wanqiao.

If she wanted Gu Jingzhan to stay, she had to work hard on Xiang Wanqiao.

Then, Mrs. Gu held Xiang Wanqiao’s hand tightly, with a hint of pleading in her tone: Xiaoqiao, can you stay and accompany grandma to finish her birthday? Grandma will have something to give you later!

Xiang Wanqiao was a little embarrassed.

She tilted her head slightly and her eyes fell on Gu Jingzhan’s face.

Gu Jingzhan also looked at her and handed the decision to her.

Finally, Xiang Wanqiao nodded and agreed under the expectant gaze of Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu smiled happily, looked at her with love and satisfaction, and patted her hand gently.

What a sensible and good child, you and Xiao Zhan will sit next to grandma in a while.

Xiang Wanqiao responded obediently: Okay.

I thought that Mrs. Gu would be the most difficult character to deal with. With her stubbornness and majesty, it was impossible for her to accept her as her granddaughter-in-law so easily.

But what she didn’t expect was that the old lady would put aside her prejudice for Gu Jingzhan and accept her.

Whether it was sincere or not, at least she was relieved temporarily.

However, about Gu Jingzhan’s mother…

Xiang Wanqiao turned her head silently and looked at Gu Jingzhan. At this moment, her heart was full of curiosity, and there was a little imperceptible exploration in her eyes.

The birthday banquet was ready to begin.

Xiang Wanqiao and Gu Jingzhan followed the arrangement and sat side by side in the two seats on the right side of Mrs. Gu.

After sitting down, she glanced at Gu Jingzhan quietly, and then reached under the table and gently held his hand, giving him silent encouragement and comfort.

Gu Jingzhan felt her little movement, and instantly held her hand back, looking at her gently.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled at him, bright and warm.

At this time, a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament sat down on the left hand side of Mrs. Gu, with the same serious and cold expression.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at him calmly, and saw his face that was somewhat similar to Gu Jingzhan but full of traces of time, and she couldn’t help but have a guess in her heart.

This should be Gu Jingzhan’s father, Gu Wenhua.

And when she caught a glimpse of Gu Jingzhan’s expression when facing Gu Wenhua, she was more certain of her guess.

Gu Jingzhan’s attitude towards Gu Wenhua was exactly the same as his attitude towards Wen Xueru, cold and distant.

It seems that the rumors from the outside world are not groundless. The relationship between them is really tense and has reached the freezing point.

Then, Wen Xueru also slowly walked towards the main table, and at this time she was followed by a very unfamiliar girl.

This girl has a beautiful face and looks weak and weak. She is the kind of girl who can easily arouse a man’s desire to protect her.

The two are very close and obviously have a deep relationship.

Wen Xueru came to Gu Jingzhan, ignored the people at the main table, and said to him very bluntly: This is my goddaughter, named Yun Mengxi. She is a good match for you, you can get in touch with her more.

These words were so blunt and abrupt that they made people dumbfounded.

Xiang Wanqiao sneered in her heart.

She was still sitting here, and Wen Xueru introduced other women to Gu Jingzhan so blatantly, obviously to lose face in front of everyone.

Such a suffocating operation made people wonder if this was really Gu Jingzhan’s biological mother?

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu’s face sank instantly, and she whispered angrily: Xueru, what are you doing!

Wen Xueru didn’t care at all about Mrs. Gu’s rebuke.

In front of everyone, she said without hesitation: I am not satisfied with the woman Jingzhan married, so I found him a new one. Is there a problem?

Mrs. Gu’s face became more and more ugly, and she was holding her breath.

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes flashed with cold light, his hands clenched into fists, and his whole body exuded a gloomy and violent aura.

Xiang Wanqiao sensed his anger and saw that he was about to explode, so she immediately patted the back of his hand where veins were bulging, and gave him a look, signaling him to calm down first.

The atmosphere of the whole scene became extremely tense, and everyone fell silent, sitting quietly in their seats and eating melons.
