Chapter 43 Mr. Gu, Miss Mu, happy engagement
Half a month later, news suddenly spread in Nancheng that Mu Qing, the daughter of the Mu family, was getting engaged.

Everyone was curious about who her future husband would be, and some people speculated that it was Gu Xingzhou. After all, he had broken off his engagement with Jian Qiao and was now free.Moreover, Mu Qing's past affair with Gu Xingzhou was widely spread, and almost no one in Nancheng knew about it, and she seemed to be too devoted to him.

Some people think it is impossible. Mu Changmin's career is booming now and he is about to rise again. How could he accept a son-in-law with a lot of bad records?

Until the day of the engagement ceremony, the reality hit these people hard in the face.

The groom at the engagement ceremony was none other than Gu Xingzhou.

Although Mu Changmin had a dark face throughout the process, he patiently completed the process.

What looked even uglier than his face was the one who cared about his father and his mother.

They never expected that Gu Xingzhou, who had been missing for half a month, finally contacted them and informed them that he was getting engaged, and that the bride was Mu Qing.

Gu's mother fainted once because of his anger, and Gu's father was also very angry. Just for the sake of face, they finally attended the engagement ceremony.

Mu Qing behaved respectfully and politely throughout the whole process, not at all as unruly as she was in front of outsiders, but they were still trembling with fear.

They didn't know what Gu Xingzhou's plan was, but they just felt that he seemed to have changed a lot from before.

He smiled and nodded to everyone who came. He no longer had the strong anger in his body, but his dark eyes looked full of palace and shrewd calculations.

Father Gu was afraid that his impulsiveness might cause trouble, so he pulled him aside after the ceremony.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly do you think?"

He was really worried, worried that he would cause a big trouble, but Gu Xingzhou only felt that he was trying to block his way.

"Father, what are you doing? Today is my engagement day. Why don't you look happy at all?"

Father Gu couldn't be happier, "We just broke off the engagement with the Jian family, and you immediately announced your engagement to the Mu family. What do you want the Jian family to think, and what do you want the people of Nancheng to think about our Gu family?"

The man looked at him with a faint voice.

"Father, you just think too much and worry too much. Mu Changmin will be promoted soon, and I will become his son-in-law, which will bring only benefits to our Gu family. As for the Jian family..."

He has not forgotten the way Mr. Jian humiliated him.

Father Gu was worried. He was about to persuade him again, but he saw a playful smile on his face and said, "Jian's family isn't here? I had someone send them invitations."

Father Gu was furious, "Gu Xingzhou, I think you are really crazy and there is no cure!"

After saying this, he turned around and left. He didn't see Gu Xingzhou turn his head to look at him, his eyes full of resentment.

After a while, Mu Qing came over. She was wearing an exquisite dress and hurried towards him.

"Xingzhou, why have you been out for so long? Dad is looking for you and wants to introduce you to some of his business partners."

Mu Changmin was engaged in politics and business, and he was able to enjoy both. Therefore, he has been standing in Nancheng for many years, and he is still rising.

How many people wanted to please him, but they didn't expect that he, Gu Xingzhou, would take the lead.

Gu Xingzhou held Mu Qing's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"I'm going over here."

Mu Qing responded quickly and followed him back.

When they returned to the banquet hall, Gu's father and mother's seats were already empty. Gu Xingzhou only glanced at them and then looked away, then walked towards Mu Changmin with a smile.

Although Mu Changmin hated seeing him in his heart, he couldn't resist Mu Qing's death, so he could only accept him with great reluctance.

But now that he has become a member of the Mu family, he must not let him embarrass him.

The people around him were all human beings, and they could see the intricacies of this at a glance. They chatted and laughed with Gu Xingzhou, talking about the recent events in Nancheng, as if they were already very familiar with it.

Mu Qing was standing next to Gu Xingzhou, clinging to him like a bird. People who came and went would glance here, but she didn't even notice.

He was the only one she cared about.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and everyone looked towards the door. Even Mu Qing took a curious look.The next second, everyone's jaw dropped.

At this moment, Jian Qiao was seen supporting Mr. Jian and walking inside step by step. They were all wearing exquisite and decent dresses, which obviously gave them enough face.

Mu Qing froze, and she subconsciously hugged Gu Xingzhou's arm as if she was possessive.

Jian Qiao didn't look this way during the whole process.

She followed the old man and walked to Mu Changmin.

The girl smiled brightly, without any trace of embarrassment or embarrassment, and looked at Mu Changmin openly.

"Congratulations, Mayor Mu."

People in Nancheng are spreading rumors that Mu Changmin is about to become the next mayor of Nancheng, and he himself has not denied it.

But when she called him that in front of so many people, the man's expression changed slightly.

But she didn't stay long before her eyes fell on Gu Xingzhou and Mu Qing.

Mu Qing's hand holding Gu Xingzhou's arm continued to tighten, until finally her whole body was pressed against his body, her eyes full of guard.

She knew that Gu Xingzhou had not completely let go of Jian Qiao, so she had to be on guard!
Gu Xingzhou was also looking at Jian Qiao at this moment.

After not seeing her for half a month, she seemed to be the same as before, but he knew that she was no longer the simple Jian Qiao she had been before.

If she were the innocent person she was before, she would have been heartbroken and would never have come here!

And the way she looked at him at this moment was so unfamiliar, as if she was just attending a stranger's engagement ceremony and going through the motions.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Mu, happy engagement."

Everyone around her looked at her, but there was no trace of sadness or reluctance on her face.

It was as if the person in front of her was a complete stranger to her.

Gu Xingzhou's hands in his trousers pockets were tightly clenched together, and his eyes revealed a fierce look, but they quickly returned to their original state.

He didn't expect that while he was ruthless, she was even ruthless than him.

He laughed angrily and stretched out his hand.

"Qiaoqiao, even if we can't become husband and wife, we still have a friendship that we grew up with. I hope you don't resent me for this."

Jian Qiao stretched out her hand, shook it gently, and then smiled.

"of course."

Mr. Jian looked at Gu Xingzhou's hypocritical look and turned away, apparently too lazy to even deal with it.

Jian Qiao retracted her hand and followed him.

The two of them walked to the back garden of the hotel together. The old man was so sick that he really didn't want to stay any longer.

"Tell me, why did you insist on coming here? You disgusted yourself and made others laugh."

Jian Qiao patted his back to comfort him, and then whispered, "Grandpa, if we didn't come, outsiders would think we were scared. Besides, if we come, they should be the ones who vomit."

Gu Xingzhou thought that he would be able to sit back and relax by hooking up with Mu Changmin, but his calculation was too good.

The bigger the wind blows that Mu Changmin is about to become the next mayor of Nancheng, and the more high-profile he is, the more favorable the situation becomes for her.

Outsiders only knew that Gu Xingzhou abandoned her in order to seduce the mayor's daughter, and what she showed today was just a forced smile in their eyes.

That being the case, let the fire burn a little fiercer.
