Chapter 722 Rejection of Wedding
Chapter 722 Rejection of Wedding
In the luxurious and elegant Molan Manor, the midday sun shines softly on every corner, making this European-style building particularly charming.
However, this tranquility and beauty was quietly shrouded in a layer of doubt because Gu Jingchen did not return home all night.
Zhen Meili was standing in the garden of the manor, pruning a few blooming roses in her hands.
When she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gu Jingchen's familiar figure slowly walking into the manor, a hint of imperceptible concern and anxiety flashed across her eyes.
I couldn't help but shout, "Jingchen!"
The sound echoed along the garden paths.
When Gu Jingchen heard the call, he paused, turned around and walked towards Zhen Meili.
His steps were a little tired, and his face still had some tiredness from not sleeping last night, but he still responded politely: "Mom, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Zhen Meili put down the gardening shears in her hand, took off her gloves, walked to Gu Jingchen, looked him up and down, and asked with concern: "Where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night? I thought something happened to you, and I was a little worried about you."
Gu Jingchen frowned slightly and replied calmly: "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I am staying outside. Is there any problem? I am an adult now, you don't have to worry about me and don't think I am a child."
There was a hint of impatience in his tone, and he seemed not to want to talk about it any more.
Zhen Meili sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to speak out what was hidden in her heart: "Jingchen, actually I shouldn't have said anything to you. You just recovered from a serious illness, and you should have an optimistic and relaxed mood, but there are some things that I feel uncomfortable holding in my heart, so I still have to tell you."
Gu Jingchen nodded, motioning for her to continue: "Then go on, I'm listening."
Zhen Meili looked at her son with worry in her eyes: "Your girlfriend Mingxue has only been back for a few days, but I found that the relationship between you doesn't seem to be as deep as before.
Is there any conflict between you two? Plus, you didn't come back last night, which really makes me worried. I'm really worried about your relationship.
If there is any misunderstanding between you, I think you still need to sit down and talk it out.”
When Gu Jingchen heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and his tone became a little stiff: "Mom, you don't have to worry about the relationship between us.
We are all adults now, and emotional matters are changeable, so why is this so difficult to understand?"
Zhen Meili was not willing to give in and continued, "But you two had a really good relationship before, so I find it a little strange that you are like this now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchen looked straight at Zhen Meili, his eyes full of suspicion: "Mom, you should be the one who feels strange.
Why do I feel like you've been acting strange recently? You seemed to hate Gong Mingxue before, but now you seem like a different person. I really don't understand."
Zhen Meili felt guilty when her son said that, and smiled awkwardly: "You must be wrong, why would I be surprised? I'm just worried about your health.
Okay, okay, handle your own affairs, I will not interfere anymore."
Just then, Mu Xue walked over slowly from the other side of the manor.
She was wearing a light pink dress today, the hem of the dress swaying gently with her steps, with a bright smile on her face, looking particularly happy. She shouted from a distance: "Mom, why are you here too?"
The sound is clear and pleasant, like a happy little bird.
When Zhen Meili heard Mu Xue's voice, she immediately turned around with a meaningful smile on her face, and then she glanced at her: "Ming Xue, come here!"
Mu Xue was confused, but still walked over quickly.
She stood in front of Zhen Meili and Gu Jingchen, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, wondering what Zhen Meili's intention was.
Zhen Meili grabbed Mu Xue's hand, and then put Mu Xue's hand into Gu Jingchen's hand, with a smile on her face.
Said: "Actually, I don't worry about anything now. The only thing that worries me is the marriage of the two of you.
Now that Jingchen has recovered from his illness and you have returned to his side, the misunderstandings between you must have been resolved.
So I was thinking, when are you going to get the marriage certificate and get married? After you get married, I can rest assured!"
When Mu Xue heard Zhen Meili's words, her face instantly flushed and her eyes were full of surprise and shyness.
She was flattered and said, "Mom, why are you saying this suddenly? Actually, there is no rush for this matter. I don't have any problem anyway. I have always wanted to marry Jingchen.
So it's all up to mom. I'll do whatever you want me to do. I will definitely listen to you!"
Marrying Gu Jingchen has always been Mu Xue's dream. Now hearing Zhen Meili say this, the joy in her heart is simply beyond words.
Zhen Meili looked at Mu Xue, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that seemed gentle but also contained a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.
She knew very well what this fake guy thought of Gu Jingchen.
Marrying Gu Jingchen is Mu Xue's biggest weakness. In fact, Zhen Meili didn't want Gu Jingchen to marry this woman from the bottom of her heart, but this woman obeyed her and did whatever she asked her to do. Compared with the stubborn Gong Mingxue before, she was indeed much more "useful".
Zhen Meili turned her head and looked at Gu Jingchen, saying earnestly: "Look, your girlfriend has agreed, what do you think? Otherwise, let's find a good day and get married directly!"
Mu Xue also looked at Gu Jingchen with anticipation, her eyes flickering with happiness, as if she had already seen the moment when she would become the mistress of the Gu family.
However, Gu Jingchen refused without hesitation: "Mom, I just want to focus on the company now. As for the wedding, let's talk about it later.
The company is facing internal and external troubles now, my brother and I are still competing, and there are too many things that need me to deal with. I really have no time to think about other things.
I want to wait until everything is settled before I worry about the wedding."
When Mu Xue heard Gu Jingchen's refusal, the smile on her face froze instantly. She stood aside awkwardly, silent.
Her heart was filled with loss, but she dared not show it, so she could only swallow the bitterness secretly.
Zhen Meili was a little disappointed after hearing what her son said, but she could do nothing about it.
I could only nod helplessly: "Well, since you want to focus on your career, then it's up to you. Just don't live out all the time in the future. Your girlfriend is at home, and it's not good for you to always live out."
