Half a month later, there was a sudden news in Nancheng that Mu Qing, the daughter of the Mu family, was getting engaged.

Everyone was curious about who her future husband would be, and some people guessed that it was Gu Xingzhou, after all, he had divorced Jian Qiao and was now free. Moreover, Mu Qing's past affair with Gu Xingzhou was rumored, almost everyone in Nancheng knew about it, and she seemed to be too desperate for him.

Some people think it's impossible, Mu Changmin's career is thriving now, and seeing that he is about to rise again, how can he accept a son-in-law with a bad record.

Until the day of the engagement ceremony, the fact was that this part of the face was slapped hard.

The groom at the engagement is not Gu Xingzhou.

And although Mu Changmin had a black face throughout the whole process, he also patiently completed the process.

Even more ugly than his face was Gu's father and mother.

They didn't expect that Gu Xingzhou had been missing for half a month, and finally contacted them, and they were informed that he was going to get engaged, and the bride was Mu Qing.

Gu's mother was so angry that he fainted once, and Gu's father was also angry enough, just for the sake of face, they finally attended the engagement.

Mu Qing behaved respectfully and politely throughout the whole process, not at all as rude as in front of outsiders, but they were still trembling.

They didn't know what Gu Xingzhou's calculations were, but they just felt that he seemed to have changed a lot from before.

He smiled and nodded at everyone who came, and there was no longer the same strong anger on his body, but those dark eyes were full of city government and shrewd calculations.

Father Gu was afraid that he would cause an accident on the spur of the moment, so he pulled him aside after the ceremony.

"You tell me the truth, what the hell do you think?"

He was really worried, worried that he would cause a big disaster, but Gu Xingzhou only felt that he was going to block his way.

"Father, what are you doing, today is my engagement day, why don't you look happy at all?"

Where did Father Gu get happy, "We just divorced the Jian family, and you immediately announced your engagement to the Mu family, what do you make the Jian family think, and what do you make the people of Nancheng think of our Gu family?" ”

The man looked at him with a faint voice.

"Father, you just think too much and worry too much. Mu Changmin is about to be promoted, and I have become his son-in-law, which will only bring benefits to our Gu family. As for the Jane family......"

He hadn't forgotten the way Old Man Jane humiliated him.

Father Gu was worried, and was about to persuade him again, but he saw him smile playfully, "Didn't the Jian family come, I asked someone to hand them an invitation." ”

Father Gu was furious, "Gu Xingzhou, I think you are really crazy, there is no cure!" ”

Dropping this sentence, he turned around and left, he didn't see it, Gu Xingzhou turned his head to look at him, his eyes were full of resentment.

After a while, Mu Qing came over, she was wearing a delicate dress, and hurriedly ran towards him.

"Xingzhou, why have you been out for so long, Dad is looking for you, saying that he wants to introduce you to some of his business partners."

Mu Changmin is engaged in politics and business, and he can eat well on both sides, so he has been standing tall in Nancheng all these years, and it is still rising.

How many people wanted to curry favor with him, but they didn't expect to be preempted by him Gu Xingzhou.

Gu Xingzhou held Mu Qing's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"I'll go over here."

Mu Qing hurriedly came down, and then followed him back.

When he returned to the banquet hall, Gu's father and Gu's mother's position was already empty, Gu Xingzhou only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and then walked towards Mu Changmin with a smile.

Although Mu Changmin didn't want to see him in his heart, he couldn't resist Mu Qing's death, so he could only accept him extremely reluctantly.

And now that he has become a member of the Mu family, he must not let him lose his face.

And the people around him, all of them are human spirits, and they can see the intricacies of this at a glance, they talk and laugh with Gu Xingzhou, talking about what happened in Nancheng recently, as if they are already very familiar.

And Mu Qing was standing beside Gu Xingzhou at this time, a little bird snuggled up to him like a human, and everyone who came and went would glance here, but she didn't realize it.

He was the only one she cared about.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and everyone looked towards the door, even Mu Qing glanced at it curiously.

In the next second, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

I saw that Jian Qiao was supporting Old Man Jian at the moment, walking inside step by step, they were all wearing exquisite and decent dresses, obviously giving them enough face.

Mu Qing's whole body froze, and she subconsciously hugged Gu Xingzhou's arm, looking like a possessor.

Jian Qiao didn't look this way the whole time.

She followed behind the old man and walked in front of Mu Changmin.

The girl smiled, without a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment, and looked at Mu Changmin generously.

"Congratulations, Mayor Mu."

People in Nancheng are rumoring that Mu Changmin is about to become the next mayor of Nancheng, and he himself has not denied it.

It's just that she called him like this in front of so many people, or did she call the man's face change slightly.

It's just that she didn't stay long, and her eyes fell on Gu Xingzhou and Mu Qing.

Mu Qing's hand holding Gu Xingzhou's arm continued to tighten, and finally the whole person was about to stick to his body, his eyes full of defense.

She knew that Gu Xingzhou hadn't completely put Jian Qiao down, so she couldn't help but be on guard!

And Gu Xingzhou was also looking at Jian Qiao at the moment.

After not seeing her for half a month, she didn't seem to have changed much from before, but he knew that she was no longer the simple Jane Qiao she used to be.

If she was the simple one before, she would have been heartbroken and would not have come over!

And the way she looked at him at this time was so unfamiliar, as if she had just come to attend a stranger's engagement ceremony and go through the motions.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Mu, happy engagement."

Everyone around her looked at her, and there was no trace of sadness and reluctance on her face.

It's as if the person in front of her, and she's just a complete stranger.

Gu Xingzhou's hands in the pockets of his trousers were clenched together, and his eyes revealed a touch of fierceness, but they quickly returned to their original state.

He didn't expect that he was ruthless, and she was even more ruthless than him.

He laughed angrily and held out his hand.

"Qiaoqiao, even if we can't be husband and wife, we have a friendship that grew up together, I hope you don't resent me because of this."

Jian Qiao stretched out his hand, shook it lightly with him, and then smiled.

"Of course."

Old Man Jian looked at Gu Xingzhou's hypocritical appearance, turned his head and left, obviously not even bothering to deal with it.

Jian Qiao withdrew his hand, and then followed him.

The two walked to the back garden of the hotel together, and the old man was vomiting to death at the moment, and he really didn't want to stay for a second.

"Tell me what you have to do here, disgusting yourself and letting others see the joke."

Jian Qiao patted him on the back to comfort him, and then said in a low voice, "Grandpa, if we don't come, outsiders will think we are afraid." Besides, let's come, it's supposed to be them. ”

Gu Xingzhou thought that he would be able to sit back and relax if he caught up with Mu Changmin, his abacus was too good.

The stronger the wind blows that Mu Changmin is about to become the next mayor of Nancheng, the more high-profile he is, the more favorable the situation will be for her.

Outsiders only know that Gu Xingzhou abandoned her in order to climb the mayor's daughter, and what she showed today was just a forced smile in their eyes.

In that case, let's make this fire burn a little harder.
