Chapter 558: Chapter 556 - Chairman Gu Was Forcing The Marriage

Gu Weiming suppressed his anger.

Yao Mengqing’s delicate body kept trembling as tears trickled down her face. “Ah Zheng, I know you like Xi Xi now, but the two of you are really not compatible. Moreover, we’re already engaged. We’re in front of so many people now. Why can’t you—”

“Yao Mengqing, are you done?!” Gu Yao roared. “No matter if Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng are compatible or not, they’re not divorced yet. What right do you have to be engaged to Gu Zheng? Since when did the Gu family have such a rule that a man can marry two women? Do you think the rest of the Gu family is like that old man?”

Seeing that his youngest son even dared to mock him, Gu Weiming was instantly infuriated.

“Gu Zheng, what exactly do you want? Mengqing is the daughter of the Yao family and is compatible with our Gu family. Why are you still unwilling?

“Or are you afraid that Qiao Xi won’t agree, so you’re unwilling?”

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent.

Gu Weiming was straightforward. “You don’t have to worry. Actually, Qiao Xi has already agreed to divorce you. The reason I announced your engagement today is that—” “Qiao Xi has already agreed!” Everyone sighed. Gu Zheng’s expression turned cold.

Gu Weiming snorted. “The Yao family went to look for Qiao Xi. She took the Yao family’s money and agreed to divorce you. Ah Zheng, things have already turned out like this, yet you’re still stubborn. She doesn’t really care about you at all. She might have run off with another man by now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Mengqing sobbed aggrievedly. “Uncle Gu, you shouldn’t have said anything. Xi Xi is Ah Zheng’s ex-wife, after all. Although she left, we should still leave her some dignity. Ah Zheng, she has already left your side. Can you just let her go?”

Yao Mengqing lowered her head and smiled sinisterly.

Qiao Xi was already dead now.

The assassins from Ling Pavilion had always done things efficiently. They would never let anyone find any traces that could lead back to her. Even if the assassin was caught, they would commit suicide. No one would ever suspect her.

Gu Zheng’s gaze landed on Yao Mengqing. Seeing her proud expression, his heart could not help but skip a beat. Yao Mengqing was so sure that Qiao Xi had left. Could it be that she had already sent someone to attack Qiao Xi?

Gu Zheng turned his head and shot Song Shijing a look. Song Shijing immediately understood and hurried out. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Gu Weiming’s bodyguards halfway.

Gu Weiming pretended to be easy-going. “Ah Zheng, now that Qiao Xi has left and your marriage with Mengqing has been settled, stop fooling around. In the future, you’ll know that everything I do is for your own

good.”

Everyone was trembling with fear. They all knew that Chairman Gu was forcing the marriage!

If President Gu did not agree to Chairman Gu’s request today, he might not be able to leave this place.

Faced with the confrontation between the Gu father and son, everyone was alarmed and held their breaths.

Yao Mengqing’s tears fell like rain as she sobbed pitifully. “Ah Zheng, now that things have come to this, don’t go against Uncle Gu’s wishes.”

Seeing that Gu Zheng was silent, Gu Weiming could not help but roar, “Gu Zheng, do you know why I asked you to marry Yao Mengqing? Do you know where Qiao Xi has

gone?”

Everyone looked at Gu Weiming curiously.

Gu Zheng’s eyes darkened.

Gu Weiming snorted. “I know that you married Qiao Xi to anger me back then. She’s disrespectful to her elders and is extremely naughty. How is she worthy of being the young madam of the Gu family? Hence, I told her that you got into a car accident and was disabled. I told her that she had to take care of you in the future. Unexpectedly, when she heard this, she was unwilling. She made a scene at home. Not only did she want to divorce you, but she even extorted a sum of money from us before leaving.

“Ah Zheng, I was just testing her. I didn’t expect her to be so heartless. I used the same words to test Mengqing. I didn’t expect her to say that she was willing to stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of your life, even if she didn’t have a status. Qiao Xi doesn’t love you at all. Only Mengqing truly loves you.”

Yao Mengqing covered her mouth and shed tears silently.

At this moment, Lin Jie rushed over. “Ah Zheng, I just don’t understand why you dote on Qiao Xi so much. She was Gu Moling’s fiancée in the past, and after she married you, she has always caused trouble. Mengqing, on the other hand, is gentle and sensible. She has always admired you. For more than ten years, she has never been in a relationship because she was waiting for you alone. If you cancel the engagement now, how can you still be human?!”
