CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 439 WATCHING THE EXCITEMENT

Mrs. He arranged the scene, then slapped He Sirui twice, "Bitch, even if you’re cheap, don’t come to our Gu Family to be cheap. What do you think the Gu Family is?"

He Sirui was still unconscious, didn’t wake up even after being slapped twice by Mrs. He, her face merely turned red.

Uncle Wei was standing outside the door, hearing the slapping sound, he said, "Don’t leave any slap marks, it’s easy to get caught."

Mrs. He said, "Isn’t a flushed face normal when you’re drunk? I think I didn’t hit enough!"

Others watched from the side, thinking Mrs. He was indeed fierce!

Mrs. He slapped He Sirui once more, and they closed the door and went downstairs with her.

As they passed through the hall, they saw two socialites walking unsteadily in the hallway. They eagerly escorted the two guests upstairs: "There’s a guest room upstairs, you two ladies can rest for a while, the cake will be served soon."

"Thank you, but... we’re not drunk."

"How can you not be drunk? You can barely walk. Just rest for a while."

Without giving them a chance to refuse, they pulled them to the guest room door, "Here is the guest room, rest for a while, no need to be polite."

They couldn’t refuse, "Alright."

In the tearoom, Gu Kuangyong cursed Cheng Ye fiercely, calling him an ingrate. Gu Kuangyuan defended her husband, "Brother, we came back to celebrate Ai Xi’s birthday, we’ve made everything clear. This is the path I chose. I’m not a child anymore. Can’t I choose the person I love?"

Cheng Ye said, "I will make Xiao Yuan happy. No matter if you support us or not, we won’t change."

Cheng Ye’s attitude was firm. He had tried to persuade the elders before, but now he had given up that idea.

Saying more was useless, actions speak louder.

Gu Kuangyong heavily slammed his cup, "Cheng Ye, are you trying to go against me?"

"Mr. Gu, I just promise to make Xiao Yuan happy."

Liang Huiyun didn’t care who Gu Kuangyuan married, as long as she got married and stopped being a hindrance at home.

She persuaded her husband, "What’s the use of getting angry? They’re already legally married. Do you still want Kuang Yuan to divorce and remarry?"

Gu Kuangyong said, "Why not?"

Liang Huiyun almost bit her tongue, "What did you say?"

Cheng Ye’s forehead turned green, "Mr. Gu, Xiao Yuan is my wife. She will only have me as her husband!"

Gu Kuangyuan said several times, "Unreasonable," "Brother, I am a free adult. You cannot interfere with my marriage!"

The veins on the back of Gu Kuangyong’s hand bulged, he tried to suppress his anger, "Gu Kuangyuan, you’re abandoning your family for this man. If Seventh Uncle were here, he would be extremely disappointed in you!"

Gu Kuangyuan didn’t speak, but she argued in her heart. If Seventh Uncle were here, he would definitely bless her.

Gu Kuangyong didn’t look at them, "Get out, don’t tell the guests you’re married, it’s disgraceful!"

Gu Kuangyuan grabbed Cheng Ye and walked out, "I will introduce you to others as my husband."

Gu Kuangyong coughed a few times, "Gu Kuangyuan!"

Liang Huiyun handed him warm water, "What’s the use of getting angry? Can it solve the problem? You’re such an old-fashioned man. Daughters eventually get married, Kuang Yuan isn’t young anymore!"

"What do you understand? She’s my sister. You don’t care, you even wish she meets a heartless man, don’t you?"

Liang Huiyun couldn’t stand him, "Did you take the wrong medicine? What does it have to do with me?"

Cheng Ye and Gu Kuangyuan went outside. Gu Kuangyuan looked down at the ground dejectedly, "Hubby, we won’t come back anymore."

Her brother broke her heart. Gu Kuangyuan couldn’t understand why her brother made it so difficult for her.

Cheng Ye hugged her tightly, "Xiao Yuan, it’s all my fault. I’m not good enough, that’s why they won’t accept me."

Gu Kuangyuan feared he would blame himself, "It’s not like that, brother is too stubborn. Hubby, you can’t think that way."

Cheng Ye gently touched her cheek, "Xiao Yuan, I’ll be quite busy starting next week. In the future, you can rely on me."

Gu Kuangyuan had great confidence in Cheng Ye, "Hubby, don’t pressure yourself too much. As long as I can be with you, it’s enough."

Cheng Ye’s eyes shone with a sparkle. With such a wife, what more could he ask for?

Gu Qianlan arrived late, she didn’t want to come initially, but thought if she didn’t show up, wouldn’t An Junxi think she was afraid of her?

Gu Qianlan would never allow herself to appear to lose to An Junxi in any way. She dressed up meticulously and came over from the old mansion.

As she walked into the entrance, the guests greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss Gu."

Gu Qianlan held her head high and didn’t say a word, she knew these people were respectful on the surface, but mocked her past scandals behind her back.

A bunch of hypocrites.

Uncle Wei had the music turned down to the lowest volume, the hall and outside the courtyard became especially quiet, with only the gentle clinking of glasses.

Everyone didn’t find anything abnormal, continuing their conversations and drinks. Children ran around next to the tearoom on the first floor. Gu Qianlan started picking faults as soon as she arrived, she said to Uncle Wei, "Why is there no music? How could you make such a low-level mistake?"

Before Uncle Wei could answer, two screams were suddenly heard from the second floor, particularly loud in the quiet environment, causing the guests to panic a bit.

Little Ai Xi ran into her grandmother’s arms, "Scared!"

Mrs. An coaxed the little baby, "Don’t be afraid, daddy’s upstairs."

Gu Jinxiu stood beside comforting his sister, He Yiqing clung to Gu Jinxiu, "What happened upstairs?"

Gu Jinxiu said, "How would I know? The butler will look into it."

Uncle Wei intended to take people upstairs to check, as the young master instructed, the more people, the better. But Gu Qianlan interrupted his work. Known for enjoying a good spectacle, Gu Qianlan called out to the nearby people, "Quick, let’s see what’s happening upstairs?"

Gu Qianlan was very excited, hoping for some mishap to happen. This was the first time the villa hosted a banquet, if An Junxi messed it up, her mother would surely blame her.

The guests present were experienced with such events. A bit of noise should be handled by the host. Following along would not only embarrass the host but also show a lack of etiquette and impatience.

Though that’s the rationale, people are naturally curious. Called by the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, everyone followed upstairs to see the commotion.

Most were women, while the men remained where they were, seemingly undisturbed by any commotion.

On the second floor, two slightly tipsy socialites ran out of the room screaming the moment they stepped in. Mrs. He asked, "What’s wrong, why are you screaming?"

At this moment, a group of people ran upstairs. Gu Qianlan walked in front with an aggressive demeanor, pushing Mrs. He aside, and asked them, "Why are you screaming, what’s in there?"

The two socialites blushed, pointing at the room but unable to speak.

Gu Qianlan said to the people behind, "Let’s go in and take a look."
