Her ex-husband was too cold; after being reborn, she hid her pregnant belly and left her father behi

Chapter 340: A Dowry of 100 Million

“Daughter, you’re taking her side. Look at your eyes, they’re still swollen from crying. What are you saying for them?”

Li Wanyin stood to the side, her face embarrassed.

Su Shitian said sternly, "Our two families have been friends for over twenty years. I thought we would become in-laws, but it turns out we were just being presumptuous. I only found out after receiving the invitation that your son is getting married, and the bride isn't even my daughter."

Seeing their poor attitude towards his wife, Gu Xuanwu was already annoyed. He said angrily, "Su Shitian, do I need to consult you about my son's marriage? We're just friends, you're not my father!"

Su Shitian was so angry that his face turned green. Ma Zhongling said indignantly, "We've seen my daughter's feelings for your son since she was little. We've always thought that she wanted to marry Gu Xunjing when she grew up, but now Gu Xunjing doesn't want to marry her and wants to marry another woman. If it were someone better than her, we wouldn't say anything, but it has to be Jiang Qianhui, a divorced woman. How is she better than my daughter?"

Gu Xuanwu said coldly, "So you two didn't come here today to catch up, but to cause trouble?"

Gu Xuanwu wanted to get angry, but Li Wanyin stopped him.

After all, the two families had a deep relationship spanning decades, and she didn't want things to get too ugly, so she reached out to stop Gu Xuanwu, and then said to Su's parents:

"Mengyu's feelings for Gu Xunjing are genuine, stemming from childhood. But my son's love is also genuine; he loves Jiang Qianhui. As parents, we all want our children to be happy. If Gu Xunjing doesn't love Su Mengyu, he won't be happy marrying her, and that would make us feel even more sorry for you."

The Su parents were furious. "What do you mean? Is my daughter not good enough for your son?"

Su Mengyu quickly pulled her parents aside and said, "Mom and Dad, I want you to help me win back Xunjing today, not to cause trouble. What will I do if you make things worse?"

Su Mengyu saw her parents arguing with her uncle and aunt, and she felt very flustered.

At that moment, she suddenly realized she had made a mistake. She shouldn't have caused her parents and aunt and uncle to argue because of her feelings, but she really wanted to marry Xunjing.

She just wanted to try her best, even if there was only a sliver of hope, she hoped that her brother Xunjing could change his mind.

After hearing Su Mengyu's words, Ma Zhongling calmed down and said to Li Wanyin, "Wanyin, you watched Mengyu grow up. You know what kind of personality she has, and you also know how much she likes Gu Xunjing. Can't you, for the sake of watching her grow up, try to bring her and Gu Xunjing together again?"

At this moment, Gu Xunjing returned in time and said to Ma Zhongling, "Auntie, I'm really sorry, Su Mengyu and I can't be together."

Ma Zhongling was surprised by Gu Xunjing's bluntness. She said angrily, "Don't you care about the relationship between our two families at all?"

"It's precisely because of the relationship between our two families that I wanted to make things clear to you."

Su Shitian pointed at Gu Xunjing and said, "You brat, how good you were to Su Mengyu when they were little. When her brother went missing, Mengyu was so frightened that she wouldn't eat or drink. She locked herself in her room all day, and you were the one who stayed with her, fed her bite by bite, and helped her through that difficult time. She had her whole heart with you, and now how can you treat her like this? Can't you treat her like you were when they were little?"

When the Su family's son went missing, it was the darkest moment for the Su family.

The Su family was shrouded in immense pain, as if their souls had been ripped away, and it was the Gu family who stayed by their side through it.

It was Gu Xuanwu who temporarily took over the Su Group, allowing it to operate normally. It was Li Wanyin who accompanied Ma Zhongling, and Gu Xunjing who accompanied Su Mengyu, helping them gradually emerge from their pain.

The relationship between the Su family and the Gu family has become even stronger.

From that moment on, Su Mengyu became even more determined to be with Xun Jing for the rest of her life. But now that her belief has been shattered, she feels as if she has fallen into an abyss.

“Uncle, I treat Su Mengyu like a younger sister. I will be good to her for the rest of my life, but that is only the feeling I have for a younger sister. I can't marry her because I don't love her. I am an adult now, and I understand my own heart. I love Jiang Qianhui. She is my true love. It is impossible for me and Su Mengyu.”

Gu Xunjing clearly expressed his thoughts, but Su Shitian angrily punched him.

Gu Xunjing could have dodged it, but he didn't.

Even though he did nothing wrong, he still didn't dodge.

"You bastard, how dare you bully my daughter like this?"

Gu Xunjing was punched and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Xuanwu stepped forward to protect him, pointing at Su Shitian and saying, "Su Shitian, we've been brothers for many years, but if you hit my son, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

When Su Mengyu saw that Gu Xunjing was injured, she quickly stepped forward, took Gu Xunjing's hand, and said, "Brother Xunjing, are you alright? Why did my dad hit you so hard? I'm so sorry."

When Su Mengyu saw that Gu Xunjing was injured, tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she angrily said to her father, "Dad, how could you hit someone? I hate you."

Su Shitian said innocently, "I'm just helping you get revenge, aren't I? I'm teaching this brat a lesson to make him realize who's really the right person to be his wife."

Su Mengyu said angrily, "I knew I shouldn't have let you come. I knew you wouldn't be able to help me win back Xunjing. You even hit Xunjing."

Su Mengyu was emotional; she truly couldn't bear to see Gu Xunjing injured.

Gu Xunjing took Su Mengyu's hand and said, "It's okay, it's Xunjing's fault. I shouldn't have let you misunderstand. You always said you would marry me when you grew up, but I always thought you were joking and hurt you."

Hearing Gu Xunjing's words, Su Mengyu's tears fell. Why did her heart ache so much now, to the point where she almost forgot to breathe? Even when Xunjing-gege said he was going to marry Jiang Qianhui, it didn't hurt this much.

Ma Zhongling said, "Gu Xunjing, there is still room for maneuver. As long as you are willing to marry Su Mengyu, we are willing to give you 50% of the shares of the Su Group."

Giving him 50% of the Su Group's shares is tantamount to handing the entire Su Group over to him. The Su Group is a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing; anyone would be tempted to acquire such a powerful family for free.

No one expected that the Su family would go to such lengths for their daughter.
