Chapter 79 Mom, her name is Shen Wancheng, and she's about to become my wife.
Shen Yao moved all the furniture in her house to the wall, leaving the middle of the living room completely empty, making it easier for her and Ke La to make their move.
Shen Wancheng stood at the door of the room for a while.
Objectively speaking, Shen Yao is very agile, but this is probably related to the physical attributes of the original Shen Yao. Compared to Kola's moves, hers seem somewhat weak and powerless.
Shen Wancheng noticed that after Shen Yao blocked Ke La's attacks a few times, her arm visibly trembled.
This girl's arm is definitely bruised.
Shen Wancheng spoke up to stop them, "Yaoyao, Kela, you've tried a few moves, stop now."
Upon hearing Shen Wancheng's words, Cora immediately stopped.
Shen Yao wasn't one to take advantage of others, so she stopped when Ke La stopped.
Cora turned around and glanced at Shen Wancheng. Seeing that Shen Wancheng wasn't angry, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will restore the furniture."
After saying that, they immediately began to take action.
Shen Yao secretly rubbed one of her arms and walked to Shen Wancheng's side.
"Sister, this person has some real skills. Having her protect you will definitely put my mind at ease."
Shen Wancheng glanced at Shen Yao.
"Don't use me as an excuse for your own desire to test Cora."
"hey-hey."
Shen Yao smiled shyly, not denying Shen Wancheng's words.
"How badly is your arm injured? Does your bone hurt?"
Shen Yao stubbornly insisted, "I'm not injured."
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll take you to the hospital right now."
Shen Yao had no choice but to admit it.
"It's just a minor scratch, nothing serious, it's very common during martial arts training."
Shen Wancheng nodded, "As long as no bones are broken, it's fine. When I call Grandpa tonight, I'll tell him to bring over a bottle of medicinal wine."
As soon as Cora rearranged the table, the Filipino maid came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Shen Wancheng woke up starving. She ate as soon as the food was served.
After dinner, Shen Wancheng called Xu Pingtao again to tell her that she wanted to marry Gu Jinxing. She also told Xu Pingtao that she was willing to let one of their children take Xu Pingtao's surname, and she mentioned the contents of her agreement with Gu Jinxing that she felt she should tell Xu Pingtao.
After Xu Pingtao realized how comprehensive Shen Wancheng's thinking was, he had no reason to object.
*
Gu Jinxing returned to the Gu Mansion for dinner that evening, and afterwards informed his family about his upcoming marriage to Shen Wancheng.
The reason for using the word "notification" is that Gu Jinxing had not considered the possibility that his family would object.
The previous head of the Gu Group was Gu Jinxing's grandfather. The old man is still the chairman of the Gu Group, but he has handed over all the real power to Gu Jinxing. His trust in Gu Jinxing is self-evident.
It was only because Old Master Gu had urged him to get married that Gu Jinxing listened to him and took the opportunity to approach Shen Wancheng.
Grandpa Gu was just worried that Gu Jinxing, who had never been close to a woman, had no intention of getting married. He wanted to have a grandson and didn't care who Gu Jinxing married. So he was happy when Gu Jinxing suddenly announced that he was getting married, and had no other thoughts.
Gu Jinxing's parents are of course still alive, but Gu Jinxing's father, Gu Hengzhi, was only interested in literature from a young age. He studied all the way up to a doctorate and is now a university professor. That's why the identity of Gu Jinxing was passed over to Gu Hengzhi as the heir of the Gu family.
Gu Jinxing's mother, Wen Nan, was also a wealthy young lady from a prominent family in Hong Kong. She and Gu Hengzhi were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.
Gu Jinxing was personally taught by his grandfather from a young age. Neither he nor his wife had much involvement in his upbringing. Although Gu Jinxing appeared to be on good terms with them, they were not actually close. In Gu Jinxing's view, they had no right to interfere in his marriage.
But Wen Nan may be getting older, and her friends have started talking about family relationships with their sons and daughters-in-law. In recent years, they have also started to pay attention to her relationship with Gu Jinxing.
Wen Nan usually takes special care of Gu Jinxing and often invites him back to the mansion for meals. Now that her son has suddenly announced his marriage without consulting them at all, Wen Nan is a little sad.
Furthermore, Wen Nan already had a bad impression of her potential marriage partner, Shen Wancheng. This made her even more resistant.
Shen Wancheng had just been reunited with her family and didn't know anyone in Hong Kong's elite circles. He Lin, the only woman in the He family, was ill and no longer associated with people in those circles. Therefore, Shen Wancheng had no idea what was going on about her in Hong Kong's elite circles.
There were quite a few people at the family reunion banquet that day, and those present actually knew the whole story of the conflict between Shen Wancheng and Xu Zi.
However, Shen Wancheng had no connection with them, while Xu Zi was the eldest daughter of the Xu family. It was not worth it for Shen Wancheng, who was unrelated to them, to accuse Xu Zi of spreading rumors that were inconsistent with the facts.
Therefore, the women and young ladies who did not attend the family reunion banquet that day heard a version completely different from the truth.
Rumor has it that Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao were both country bumpkins that Xu Pingtao found from the mainland, but Shen Wancheng was nothing like a mainlander. She was very scheming but also arrogant and domineering, and she didn't even respect Xu Zi from the old wealthy family, bullying her in public.
Because Shen Wancheng not only won Xu Pingtao's favor, but also used some underhanded means to bewitch Gu Jinxing.
Even Gu Jinxing, who was usually indifferent to women, stood up for her.
Rumors have also circulated that if Gu Jinxing gets carried away with his lust, he might marry Shen Wancheng right away, which would surely break the hearts of many outstanding young ladies in Hong Kong.
These rumors had just reached Wen Nan's ears today, and before she could even verify them, she heard that Gu Jinxing was going to marry Shen Wancheng, just as the rumors said.
Wen Nan subconsciously felt that Shen Wancheng was no good.
After all, rumors spread like wildfire among the women and young ladies, and no one has yet stood up to object.
Wen Nan also knew that she and her husband were not close to Gu Jinxing and had no say in Gu Jinxing's marriage. So when Gu Jinxing talked about it at the dinner table, she felt annoyed but held back her anger.
Wen Nan planned to talk to her father-in-law, Old Master Gu, after Gu Jinxing left the Gu Mansion and returned to his own residence that evening.
Wen Nan didn't expect that after Gu Jinxing announced his marriage, he would ask to talk to her.
Could it be that the son has suddenly come to understand his parents' feelings for him and wants to hear their opinions?
Wen Nan intuitively felt it was unlikely, but she was also somewhat hopeful.
When Wen Nan and Gu Jinxing arrived at the building where Wen Nan lived.
Gu Jinxing spoke directly without any preamble.
"Mom, I remember you had a piece of shimmering brocade, could you give it to me?"
Wen Nan's face immediately darkened.
Her son wears shirts and suits 360 days a year, so what's the point of using such a luxurious fabric as brocade?
And right now, at this critical juncture!
Wen Nan knew without even thinking that Gu Jinxing intended to give it to Shen Wancheng.
"Give it to that woman?"
When Gu Jinxing heard Wen Nan refer to Shen Wancheng as "that woman," his expression instantly turned cold.
Gu Jinxing frowned as he spoke.
“Mom, her name is Shen Wancheng, and she will soon be my wife. Your manners should not allow you to refer to her as ‘that woman.’”
