Chapter 835: Chapter 835

However, unlike last night, when they met again the next day, the Gu Family didn’t even offer the most basic hospitality.

They outright asked Ais to take his things and leave, without saying much to discourage him. Instead, they directly confronted him with his ulterior motives for approaching Gu Yao.

Looking at the old man of the Gu Family sitting on the sofa, leaning on a cane, with a stern face, Ais cursed in his heart, "Old codger."

"Motives?" Ais chuckled, maintaining a very good attitude.

"Grandpa Gu, I’ll be honest. I, Ais, am somewhat of a figure in Holy City. I don’t lack money, nor do I lack women. Besides, the business I do has nothing to do with the Gu Family. You say I have motives for approaching Yaoyao; I’m curious about what those motives might be?"

"I don’t care if you have motives or not. In any case, Gu Yao will not marry you. Please leave now." The old man of the Gu Family raised a hand and made a gesture to show him out.

As long as it concerned his grandchild’s safety, he wouldn’t leave any room for compromise.

"Grandpa Gu, I don’t want to upset you either, since you are Yaoyao’s closest family. But I must say one thing: last night, Yaoyao told me personally that if you don’t let her marry, she’ll just follow me back to Holy City."

"Hmph." The old man of the Gu Family snorted coldly.

"Do you have the guts to take her with you? You might as well try!"

"Grandpa Gu, and also Uncle and Aunt, I think you might have some misunderstanding about me. I think it’s better if Yaoyao is called over so we can talk."

Ais said as he took out his phone and directly called Gu Yao.

Seeing this, Gu’s father immediately gave a signal to the bodyguards beside him.

The two bodyguards stepped forward, one towards Ais and the other towards his phone.

But they were easily dodged by Ais without breaking a sweat.

"Yaoyao, still sleeping? I’m here with Uncle, Aunt, and Grandpa discussing our wedding. Come over for a bit, we still need to pick out a wedding dress and rings this afternoon."

Ais held the phone, speaking to Gu Yao on the other end in a relaxed and pampering tone, as he looked at the angry faces of Gu’s father and the old man of the Gu Family.

After finishing these words, it’s unclear what he replied to Gu Yao, but then he hung up the phone.

He was immediately faced with eviction from the old man of the Gu Family.

Before the two bodyguards could step forward to drive him out, Ais turned gracefully and left.

The six carloads of betrothal gifts, along with the five luxury cars apart from his own vehicle, were all left at the Gu Family. He didn’t care whether the Gu Family would throw out the gifts he had prepared all night. Dıscover more novels at novel✶fire.net

Soon, Gu Yao arrived.

Seeing Ais looking dejected at the entrance, Gu Yao stepped forward and asked, "Did my parents give you a hard time?"

Her tone was almost certain.

When Ais later called to say he was waiting for her at the gate, she knew Ais had been sent out.

Moreover, her parents were always polite to others; even if they didn’t want her to marry Ais, they wouldn’t leave a guest at the gate.

Ais slightly shook his head and smiled, "No."

Forcing a smile, pretending nothing happened, his acting skills were impeccable.

Gu Yao didn’t say much more, nor did she want to.

"Mm." Ais opened the car door for Gu Yao, letting her get in the car.

The Gu couple and the old man of the Gu Family, upon learning that Gu Yao and Ais had gone out, found it too late to stop them.

Just after they left, Gu Li returned.

After learning that Gu Sheng still didn’t know Gu Yao was going to marry Ais, Gu Li first asked everyone to keep it secret.

Then he called Shangguan Yu.

"Are you serious?!" Shangguan Yu rose excitedly from his chair, somewhat disbelieving.

"Yes, they just went out to try on wedding dresses."
