Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh forced marriage
After seeing the two people, Ximen Yuliang said very politely: "Father-in-law, you are here."
Although he did not take local families like the Gu family seriously, he also knew very well that he could only rely on the two people in front of him if he wanted to conquer Gu Qingcheng, so he was very polite.
Gu Pengju nodded slightly: "Yu Liang, go ahead and do your work. The two of us will come to persuade this girl."
"Well, I have my father-in-law and mother-in-law to thank. The auspicious time is coming soon, so we must hurry up."
After Ximen Yuliang finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Qingcheng meaningfully, turned around and walked out.
Just as he was about to go out, Gu Pengju became furious: "Qingcheng, do you know what you are doing?"
Gu Qingcheng didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "I know, I am forced to marry someone I don't like at all."
"You...you..." Gu Pengju was trembling with anger, "Can't you consider the interests of the family?"
"I consider the interests of my family, who considers my interests?
I already have someone I like, but they insist on forcing me to marry someone else. Is the family just using me in exchange for benefits?"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingcheng was also filled with grievances. He didn't expect that his father, who had loved him since childhood, would trade him like a commodity.
"It's all nonsense, it's all nonsense. Don't you have any sense of the overall situation?"
"The overall situation? What is the overall situation? Is the Gu family's overall situation achieved in exchange for women?
Since you are the head of the family, the overall situation of the Gu family should be fought for with your strength, and should not be exchanged for me."
Gu Qingcheng was filled with anger and refused to give in.
"You bastard, I have raised you for so many years in vain. Since you have enjoyed the glory brought by the Gu family for so many years, you should bear the responsibility of making the Gu family prosperous."
Gu Pengju became more and more angry, "If you continue to act like this, get out of the Gu family. There are no unfilial descendants like you in the Gu family!"
"You think I'm careless? If my acupoints hadn't been sealed, I would have left long ago. Being an ordinary person is a hundred times better than being here."
This is what Gu Qingcheng really thinks in her heart. If given the chance to choose, she would prefer to be an ordinary woman and live a simple life with the person she likes.
Being contradicted by his daughter one after another, Gu Pengju became more and more angry and wanted to take action.
"You bastard, I have to beat you to death today!"
"Why do you move your hands while you're talking?" Wen Yurong hurriedly hugged him, "You didn't even look at what day it was. You go out first, and I'll talk to my daughter."
Only then did Gu Pengju realize that this was Ximen's house, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I tell you, today's wedding is related to the prosperity and decline of the entire Gu family, and you will never be allowed to be willful."
After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
After Gu Pengju left, Wen Yurong sighed, took Gu Qingcheng's hand and said, "Son, mom knows that you are wronged, but it is indeed not easy for your dad."
Gu Qingcheng did not speak, but two lines of tears fell down her cheeks.
Wen Yurong added: "Now the Gu family is not as prosperous as it seems on the surface. It is struggling in the entire provincial capital. The living space being suppressed by several other family businesses is getting smaller and smaller.
If we want to change this situation, or go further, we can only put our hope in you.
The Ximen family is one of the largest families in the imperial capital. Besides, I think Yu Liang is not bad, he can be said to be a dignified person, so marrying him won't be a wrong to you."
"But, I already have someone I like."
Gu Qingcheng was filled with grievances. If she hadn't fallen in love with Ye Bufan, she might have been able to accept the family's arrangement, but now she would not agree to it anyway.
"What can be done about this? As a woman from a big family, how can she have the right to make her own choice?"
Wen Yurong sighed, "Qingcheng listened to mom's advice, and at this point, there is no room for change.
Have you ever thought about it? If you really want to make today’s wedding a scandal, where will the Ximen family’s face go?
Once the Ximen family gets angry, the Gu family will be wiped out."
"But can you blame me? I already said that I have someone I like, but you didn't agree and imprisoned me at home.
I didn’t agree with this marriage from the beginning. You have to accept it. What does it have to do with me?”
"Qingcheng, why can't you understand? Your father will never marry you to a young doctor under any circumstances. That would be completely inappropriate and will not bring any benefits to the family."
"I don't care, I will never marry Ximen Yuliang anyway."
Gu Qingcheng looked stubborn.
"Daughter, things have reached this level. You are driving the entire Gu family to death.
Just think of it as mom begging you to stop making trouble, okay? If you continue to disagree, mom will kneel down to you."
Wen Yurong said that she was about to kneel down.
Gu Qingcheng was startled. She never expected that her mother would kneel down for her, so she quickly stretched out her hand to help her up.
"Daughter, just agree. There is really no way out now."
Wen Yurong also felt sorry for her daughter, but since Gu Pengju had made this decision, there really was no other way.
Even though Gu Qingcheng was unwilling to do so, she could not let her mother kneel down for her.
After hesitating for a long time, he could only nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Mom. Get ready, the time is coming."
After Wen Yurong finished speaking, she turned around and left the room.
"Auntie, do you really want to marry that annoying guy? What will uncle do?"
The little girl Gu Qiaoqiao looked eager.
"I have no idea."
Gu Qingcheng's heart was filled with pain, and a scene from the movie suddenly appeared in her mind.
"The man I love is an unparalleled hero. One day he will come to pick me up riding on colorful auspicious clouds and wearing golden armor and holy clothes."
She didn't feel much about this sentence in the past, but now that she thinks about it, this is completely a woman's helplessness and hope from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, this is all she hopes for. Since she can't resist, she can only hope that that person can step on the colorful clouds to save her.
People outside had no idea what was happening here, and the hotel auditorium was bustling with activity.
The Ximen family held an engagement ceremony, and countless guests came to congratulate them. However, many of them were not qualified to stay here, so they left in a hurry after writing the gift list.
The people who can stay here are either high-ranking dignitaries or aristocratic families, and they are definitely big shots in the imperial capital.
Suddenly there was an uproar at the door, and all the guests couldn't help but look over there, and saw a group of female guests coming in.
If the women alone are not enough to cause such a big sensation, the most important thing is that these women are so beautiful, so beautiful that their appearance is explosive.
Walking at the front was Changsun Dongju, who was a famous beauty in the imperial capital when she was young.
Although he is a bit older now, he has taken good care of himself. Coupled with the pills given by Ye Bufan, he looks like he is about 30 years old.
Not only is she unparalleled in beauty, but she also has a touch of mature charm.
Behind her were Su Ruyue, An Yimo, Qin Chuchu and other women. Even Zheng Huafei, who had just succeeded as the head of the Zheng family, also came.
When these women are gathered together, each one is prettier than the other, fatter and thinner, with different styles, but the one thing they have in common is that they are beautiful.
The huge scene was quiet for a while, and the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard from time to time.
