Chapter 242: Gu Xunjing's mother likes Jiang Sui too much!
Yan Lan saw Xie Qingyi get humiliated and revealed a gloating smile. Although she couldn't stand Jiang Qianhui showing off, at least Xie Qingyi was unhappy now, which made her feel a little happy.
Yan Lan said sarcastically, "Mom, you just said that Jiang Qianhui would hide like a rat. But look how smug she is with Yang Huirong now. They're divorced but still so ostentatious. I'm afraid only they, mother and daughter, are like this in Country A. Especially Yang Huirong, her eyes are full of pride."
Yan Lan deliberately mentioned Yang Huirong because she knew that this would make Xie Qingyi even more disgusted.
As expected, Xie Qingyi looked at Yang Huirong with even greater anger in her eyes.
At this moment, Gu Xunjing walked up to Jiang Qianhui and Yang Huirong, and said with a bright smile, "Auntie, Suihui, you've arrived. Auntie, you are so elegant, and Suihui is so beautiful. I really don't want to take my eyes off Suihui."
When Gu Xunjing spoke, his eyes sparkled.
Seeing Gu Xunjing staring at Sui Sui in a daze, Yang Huirong couldn't help but feel a gossipy urge to ship them as a couple.
The saying goes that loving someone is like nurturing a flower. A man's praise for his beloved woman can make her better and better, and make her surrounded by love.
To love someone should be like Gu Xunjing, wanting to be in front of her and surrounding her at all times.
Thinking back to the past, Zhan Yanxun was different; his daughter could only ever chase after his back.
It's a sad thing to even think about it.
"Young Master Gu, you have such a sweet tongue. I saw an old friend over there, I'll go over and chat with her."
Watching her mother leave in a hurry, Jiang Qianhui felt speechless.
This happened so suddenly.
After Yang Huirong left, Gu Xunjing looked at Sui Sui and said, "Sui Sui, Auntie is creating opportunities for us."
Jiang Qianhui: "..." Why bring up something you shouldn't say?
Jiang Qianhui looked up at Gu Xunjing and said with a faint smile, "Look, all the ladies from prominent families here are quite a good match for you. What kind do you like? Find one yourself, I don't have time to play games with you."
Gu Xunjing felt heartbroken; his Sui Sui kept pushing him away again and again.
But it doesn't matter, he has a very strong heart.
Gu Xunjing leaned slightly closer to her ear, his posture suggestive.
"How can these ordinary beauties compare to you? Our Sui Sui has skin as smooth as jade and is stunningly beautiful."
Jiang Qianhui frowned.
"Do you know what you're saying? Aren't you afraid of getting ganged up on?"
He really knows how to offend everyone in a room with just one sentence.
“Even if I’m ganged up on, I’ll still stand by the truth. My Sui Sui is the most beautiful.”
Jiang Qianhui: "..." What kind of twisted truth is this?
Gu Xunjing clung to Jiang Qianhui, his smile radiant.
At this moment, Xie Qingyi walked over and said sarcastically, "Young Master Gu, you are indeed dashing and charming. But you really have no taste. Ignoring so many well-bred ladies, you insist on chasing after a divorced woman. It's not just that you lose face, but aren't you afraid of disgracing the Gu family elders?"
Xie Qingyi's words instantly drew everyone's attention. Xie Qingyi was full of hostility, and her attack was aimed at her former daughter-in-law, Jiang Qianhui.
Are these former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law about to go to war?
Gu Xunjing instinctively placed it in front of Jiang Qianhui and said, "Madam Zhan, why should our Gu family elders feel ashamed? Jiang Qianhui is single now, and it's perfectly legitimate for me to pursue her."
On the contrary, why did you only bring your eldest daughter-in-law and not Zhan Yanxun's pregnant mistress? Do you feel ashamed? Well, having an extramarital affair and getting your secretary pregnant is indeed disgusting.
You can't even raise your own son properly, letting him cheat on you and commit adultery. You should seriously reflect on yourself and feel ashamed for failing to raise your child well!
At this moment, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
"What Young Master Gu said seems to make a lot of sense. Zhan Yanxun cheated on his wife in China, so he was already at fault. Isn't it going too far for Xie Qingyi to cause trouble for Jiang Qianhui?"
"Exactly. As expected, mothers-in-law always side with their sons. Even if their sons have gotten another woman pregnant, they still can't stand seeing their daughters-in-law doing well."
The whispers of those around Xie Qingyi infuriated her.
She trembled with anger, forcing a smile as she said, "Young Master Gu, I'm only reminding you out of consideration for the Gu family's reputation. With the Gu family's status, even if you don't marry someone of equal social standing, you should at least marry someone with a clean and honest background. Even marrying the daughter of a nanny or cleaner would be better than marrying a divorced woman like this. I heard your mother, Madam Gu, is also coming today. If she sees you protecting a divorced woman like this, she'll probably be too ashamed to attend the banquet and will turn around and leave immediately!"
Xie Qingyi's words once again sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.
“The Gu family is a century-old family. President Gu and Mrs. Gu are of noble status and have sharp eyes. How could they possibly agree to the eldest son of Gu being with Jiang Qianhui? After all, Jiang Qianhui is a second-time bride.”
"Young Master Gu is probably just playing around; he's not serious."
"If this is serious, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu will be furious!"
Although Jiang Qianhui had never considered the Zhan family's affairs, the rumors and gossip were still irritating her ears.
It turns out there's so much malice towards divorced women in this world. Even if she doesn't bother anyone, people still say vicious things without restraint.
Those malicious words were like venomous snakes, tightly coiling around her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.
Although public opinion previously praised Jiang Qianhui for her boldness in love and hate, and her immediate divorce after her husband's infidelity, the fact that she married Gu Xunjing as a divorced woman was simply unacceptable to everyone. Rumors and gossip swirled around Xie Qingyi and others. Indeed, divorced women should be nailed to the pillar of shame; how could they possibly marry into a wealthy family again?
Gu Xunjing suddenly gripped Jiang Qianhui's hand tightly and said, "Shut your dog mouths. If I hear you say another bad word about Jiang Qianhui, you will all be enemies of the Gu family."
Jiang Qianhui wanted Gu Xunjing to let go; the rumors were hurting her, and she shouldn't drag others down with her. But Gu Xunjing wouldn't let Jiang Qianhui loosen her grip, instead holding on even tighter.
So what if there are rumors and gossip? As long as he's there, he can shield her from all the malice in the world.
Jiang Qianhui looked at him, his eyes were firm, as if he was ready to fight against the world.
What's the trouble with this?
Yang Huirong heard the commotion and wanted to step forward to stop it, but she saw Gu Xunjing protecting his daughter Suisui, and she was deeply moved at that moment.
Someone called out, "Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have arrived."
When Xie Qingyi heard that President Gu and Mrs. Gu had arrived, her face lit up with a huge smile.
She looked at Gu Xunjing with schadenfreude and said, "Young Master Gu, you'd better let go of Jiang Qianhui's hand quickly. Don't be so intimate. If your mother sees you, you might get a beating. I remember your mother is a very picky person. If she sees you holding Jiang Qianhui's hand, she'll think it's dirty."
Madam Gu has always had very high standards. This divorced Jiang Qianhui is not someone she would approve of.
