Chapter 3744: A New Addition (360)
Chu He was startled by the man’s sudden action. She shrank back and grabbed his wrist, asking angrily, “What are you doing?”
“I know you’re feeling warm.”
Chu He was speechless for a moment. “I was joking.”
“You don’t look like someone who would crack a joke.”
Chu He was once again speechless and turned her head away in anger, refusing to look at him. Gu Jinglian found it amusing. She actually had a feminine side, and it was quite cute!
Although it wasn’t a long trip by car, it felt like time dragged on. Perhaps because of the wedding, now that the two of them were sitting in the car, their identities were completely different. She was his wife and he was her husband. Hence, this change in their statuses made everything quite different from before. She was a little nervous, but Gu Jinglian was calm and seemed unfazed.
People say that a wedding makes a man nervous. He may feel touched, surprised, or even end up crying. However, when it came to Gu Jinglian, he showed no signs of any emotions. His calmness was extreme. Under his influence, Chu He gradually calmed down as well.
The wedding was well-organized. Butler Fu was very efficient and there was no need to worry about anything. As he said, Chu He only needed to turn up in the wedding gown and everything else would run like clockwork. Even things that could potentially go wrong at the wedding had been identified and contingency plans made.
The wedding car suddenly slowed down.
The man sitting in the front passenger seat said in a deep voice, “Old Master, Butler Fu was right. The Meng family’s people are coming up behind us.”
The Meng family was also a big family in the capital city. For the past many generations, they had been a prominent family. However, in recent years, they had had some conflicts with the Gu family in business dealings.
The most important thing was that the Meng family was a rather dark force. Hence, they naturally saw Gu Jinglian’s wedding event as an opportunity to create some trouble. However, Butler Fu was smart and had already expected this. He had already planned the travel route ahead of time and the roads in the capital city were well connected. It had all been anticipated.
Gu Jinglian said, “Follow the route and avoid them.”
“Understood.”
Past the traffic light, the car sped towards an alternate road. There were many police officers on the road near the center, so it was naturally not easy to handle things. If it was a small road, it would be a different story.
Gu Jinglian naturally did not want these things to happen. After all, no one wants unlucky things to happen on their wedding day. However, since these unwanted guests came knocking, Gu Jinglian was no pushover!
Prior to this, Gu Jinglian had already instructed his subordinates that while they could break a few bones, his preference was not to not see any blood shed, be it the blood of his own men or the blood of his opponent.
On the other hand, it was foreseeable that the Meng family would definitely bring their men with them, given their intention to create trouble. However, the Gu family was no weakling. Not to mention knives, even if they were to bring guns, they would not be able to cause trouble easily.
The convoy turned onto another road. The traffic was clear, no one was on the road. The Meng family became arrogant and caught up with them, forcing the Gu family’s convoy to come to a halt. The car pulled to a stop and Gu Jinglian said to Chu He, “Stay in the car and don’t move.”
“Uh huh.” Chu He was also very calm.
Butler Fu had already cautioned her about this so that she wouldn’t make a fuss if something unexpected were to happen. Usually, the bride would feel that these things were rather unlucky. After all, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Everyone would want a smooth and successful wedding.
