Chapter 328 - Marriage Token
Before these people from the Shen family could approach her…
Gong Jue protected Gu Qiqi in his arms and didn't give these people a chance to come into contact with her.
The old master flicked his sleeves and looked unhappy. "I'm not eating anymore! I have two unfilial granddaughters at home. I've grown up in vain at this age. What's there to celebrate? I'll reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors!"
Seeing that her grandfather was about to leave, Gu Qiqi naturally didn't have the mood to stay behind either. "Grandpa, then Xiaobei and I will come and see you next time. You must take care of your body. Don't be angry at boorish people, okay?"
Faced with Gu Qiqi, Old Master Gu's expression improved slightly. "Good child, come home often when you have time. But studying is more important. Also… you have to be wary of people!"
As he spoke, he glared at Gong Jue.
This brat was good at everything, but he was too scheming,and domineering. Would he dig a pit for his little granddaughter to jump into one day?
Gong Jue was neither servile nor overbearing. He went along with the old man's words and said to Gu Qiqi, "Yes, did you hear that? Grandpa makes sense. You have to be observant! So, shouldn't you quickly call off the marriage that should be called off? Hmm?"
Gu Qiqi's lips twitched.
Hey, stupid man. Grandpa clearly said that he wanted me to be careful of you.
It's fine if you pretend to be stupid on purpose, but you actually have the cheek to order me to end the engagement.
I haven't agreed to marry you yet.
In order to curry favor with Gong Jue, when the people from the Shen family heard Gong Jue's words, they hurriedly chimed in. "That's right, that's right. Master Jue is right. Then, the Mu family's marriage can be canceled! By the way, Meifeng, hasn't the Mu family's engagement token always been safeguarded by you?"
Gu Meifeng was teary-eyed as she watched Gu Xuexue being taken away by the servant.
Upon hearing everyone say something about an engagement token, she said in annoyance, "What token? What has it got to do with me?!"
She couldn't be bothered to work for that b*tch Gu Qiqi!
The people from the Shen family hurriedly gave her a meaningful look and whispered, "Meifeng! Stop fooling around! Hurry up and give the keepsake to Qiqi. This way, Qiqi and the Mu family can end the engagement and she can marry Master Jue through marriage. We will benefit greatly…"
Divorce the Mu family and marry Gong Jue…?
Gu Meifeng sobered up in an instant.
No!
She had to stop them.
If Gu Qiqi broke off the engagement with the Mu family, her Xuexue would have no chance of cosying up to Gong Jue at all.
She definitely couldn't let that bookworm toad eat this piece of meat.
But there were so many people from the Gu family and the Shen family watching in the study room. She couldn't possibly lie through her teeth and say that the keepsake wasn't in her hands, right?
Even Old Master had spoken. "Meifeng, hand the token and the engagement to Qiqi. It's up to her to decide if she wants to end the engagement or not."
Upon hearing that her grandfather had given her the right to choose, Gu Qiqi's nose sniffed.
Indeed, although Grandpa had yet to accept her being with Gong Jue…
But Grandpa was really thinking for her!
His grateful words choked in her throat. In the end, she only cast a deep gaze at the old master and nodded.
But Gu Meifeng's eyes rolled and she had an idea!
Yes!
She had a solution!
She could let Gu Qiqi have the keepsake but she wouldn't be able to cancel the Mu family's engagement. Haha.
Gu Meifeng's eyes flickered and she forced a smile. "If you want it, then take it! Up to you!"
==
Gu Qiqi brought Xiaobei along and got into Gong Jue's car with the token that Gu Meifeng had personally handed over.
In order to prevent Gu Meifeng from tampering with it, she even opened the gift box of the keepsake on the spot and looked at it carefully.
It was an antique jade pendant.
There was a phoenix carved on it.
It was beautiful, but it was a pity that she wasn't interested in anything from the Mu family!
She had to find a time to call off the engagement!
