They came to the capital city from all over, to earn a living. The Meng family took them in. Since they were paid by the Meng family, they had to carry out their duties. Except that, even if they were paid, surely it wasn’t worth risking their lives?!
As a result, they hesitated and froze. No one dared to advance or retreat.
After everyone from the Gu family had boarded the convoy, they left a portion of the guards at the scene while the convoy headed towards the Gu residence.
The Meng family’s men were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that the people from the Gu family were so tough?
They were not expecting a huge arm wrestling event with the Gu family today. They merely wanted to vent their anger on the Gu family by dampening their joyous occasion. The Meng family had wanted to catch the Gu family off guard. However, Butler Fu had anticipated this and made contingency plans for it!
As a result, it didn’t matter that there had been a delay in the journey, it had all been accounted for. Even the timing of the convoy arriving at the Gu residence was extremely precise.
At the entrance of the Gu family residence.
The convoy stopped in an orderly manner and formed a long line. The Gu family’s men, fully armed, stood in two neat lines. Most of the invited guests were people of status. Hence, in order to avoid any unnecessary incidents, security was also very tight.
Butler Fu and Madam Qin stood at the door and greeted the guests, who have gathered at the entrance.
The best man opened the door for Gu Jinglian. The man got out of the car and walked to the other side. He then opened the door, reached in and carried Chu He out of the car with his strong arms. The fireworks shot up into the sky and then fell down around them in a rain of colors. Chu He was startled by the sudden sound of the fireworks going off and shrank into his embrace. This was an obvious show of her subconscious dependence!
Gu Jinglian laughed and teased her playfully, “You didn’t seem so timid when you were fighting earlier on!”
“You have the audacity to mention this!”
Chu He said unhappily, “Why did all these happen today? We’re fortunate there was no blood shed, it would be so unlucky otherwise.”
When Gu Jinglian heard this, his expression turned frosty. “I’ll settle this matter with the Meng family after the wedding.”
Pausing, Gu Jinglian smiled and changed the topic. “But since today is our wedding, don’t think about it anymore. Leave everything to me.”
“Leave everything to you? Luckily, I didn’t leave everything to you. It’s a good thing I can fight and don’t have a problem handling these small fries.” Chu He raised her chin proudly as she spoke.
Gu Jinglian was quick to agree and even praised her. “A woman who is worthy of Gu Jinglian is naturally not someone to be trifled with.”
Chu He laughed. “Are you praising me or yourself?”
“You don’t stand to lose out even if I were praising myself.”
Gu Jinglian lowered his gaze and looked into her eyes. “Only a man like me is worthy of you.”
Chu He was amused, but she pursed her lips and held back her laughter. “By the way, aren’t you tired carrying me like this?”
To enter the nuptial chamber, they had to walk along several long and winding corridors, passing through three huge garden-style courtyards.
Although she was thin, at her height she was of significant weight still. Most men would be exhausted after carrying someone like her for a while. However, Gu Jinglian remained unruffled. It was as if he was carrying a ball of cotton wool, or a cat.
