Chapter 542: Crisis on Weibo
Despite not saying it out loud back then, their intentions and actions indicated that they despised the Zhong Family and Cloud Group.
Although they reserved a place for Cloud Group at every Gu family’s large-scale gathering, Gu Zhongcheng looked down on Jiang Hanlin. As for Zhong Qianqian, Gu Mingzhe did not even spare her a glance.
Therefore, when Gu Mingzhe came to Jiang District and attended Nuannuan’s banquet uninvited, he already had a strange feeling.
After what happened this morning, Selina’s words woke him up.
If he was not after something more beyond Zhong Qianqian, how could a man like Gu Mingzhe fall in love with her?
Moreover, the only reason that could lead Gu Mingzhe to get his hands on something more must be Zhong Qianqian’s identity.
To put it more accurately, it was Zhong Nuannuan’s identity or his deceased ex-wife, Pu Yu’s identity.
He had always thought that Pu Yu was not an ordinary person. Now, for Gu Mingzhe to make such a drastic move to marry Zhong Qianqian despite the risk of offending Selina, that must be because Pu Yu’s status was much higher than Selina’s.
Zhong Kuijun was appalled when he thought of that.
The inexplicable uneasiness in his heart intensified.
At this moment, he regretted agreeing to Jiang Shuwan’s suggestion—letting Zhong Qianqian put on that necklace every time she attended a banquet.
Although the exposure of Zhong Qianqian’s identity would allow the Zhong Family to instantly reach the pinnacle of glory—so glorious that they might be able to look down on the Gu family—
He was afraid that…
If Zhong Qianqian’s identity was exposed, Zhong Nuannuan’s identity would also be exposed. What was most frightening was the fact that the cause of Pu Yu’s death would also be exposed.
In that case, what they were about to face was not extreme glory, but complete destruction.
“Dad, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you unhappy that Brother Mingzhe and I are getting married?”
As they were done looking at the photo, Zhong Qianqian and Jiang Shuwan still thought it was not enough. Initially, they wanted Zhong Kuijun to say something nice, yet he was spacing out.
Zhong Kuijun laughed when his thoughts were interrupted by Zhong Qianqian. He said, “Why would I?” Then, he fell silent.
Zhong Qianqian had always felt that Zhong Kuijun was biased towards Zhong Nuannuan. Every time Zhong Nuannuan brought Chiyang home to show off, Zhong Kuijun would laugh until his face was rotten. However, she was already married to Gu Mingzhe, a young master from a third-class rich family. She had brought glory to the Zhong family, but Zhong Kuijun was busy getting distracted instead.
Zhong Qianqian swore to herself that when Zhong Kuijun begged her one day, she would definitely not help him. She would reciprocate all the unjust she had suffered at home.
Therefore, Zhong Kuijun’s attitude did not matter to Zhong Qianqian anymore.
From today onward, she would be the Gu family’s Young Lady. She no longer needed to rely on the Zhong family.
From now on, she could straighten her back and show off in front of her classmates.
At this thought, Zhong Qianqian was overwhelmed with excitement.
Currently, Jiang Shuwan was able to walk if someone held her. Thus, Gu Mingzhe found a good restaurant and invited his parents-in-law to dine together.
While eating, Zhong Qianqian took a few photos and posted them on Weibo.
At this point, WeChat was still in its testing phase, thus, very few people knew WeChat. Most people liked to browse Weibo, and everyone would add everyone no matter how close they were.
Hence, Zhong Qianqian took a photo of the four of them picking up food with their chopsticks and…
