When everyone came out of the venue, Ling Xiao saw that it was still early, so he suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go out and get together? Since Second Brother and sister-in-law are getting married, and the two of us aren't able to get back in time, we'll give you two another ceremony."
"That's right. Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll definitely arrange everything properly for you this time. Whatever you want, I'll definitely do for you with just a word." Chu Zheng agreed.
The two of them had been by Gu Tingchen's side for many years, and they had grown up together. Ever since Gu Tingchen's incident, no one was willing to talk to a good-for-nothing who could not inherit his family's property.
But just now, Chu Zheng saw that Mu Lee did not hesitate to offend Gu Tingye for her sake. From this, it could be seen that this Mu Lee was not as vain as her.
"I'm not free." Without waiting for Mu Lee to speak, Gu Tingchen spoke in a tone filled with warning.
Chu Zheng curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I've never seen you like this before.
"What did you say?" Gu Tingchen looked up with killing intent in his eyes.
Seeing that it was not good, Chu Zheng anxiously ran: "Second Brother, I have to leave first, Ling Xiao, send Second Brother and the rest back."
Seeing that brat running away like a rabbit, Ling Xiao laughed awkwardly, then looked towards Mu Lee: "Sister-in-law, don't take offense, this guy probably hasn't taken any medicine today."
After the three of them said their goodbyes, Gu Tingchen left the charity auction with Mu Lee. After going through the charity auction, Mu Lee also discovered a problem, Mu Shaohua cared a lot about the marriage between Mu Yan and Gu Tingye.
Mu Family was also a large family, so there was no need to rush to get their daughter married out, but just now, they clearly felt that they were very anxious.
When Gu Tingchen saw that Mu Lee remained silent for a long time, he could not help but ask back, "What's wrong?"
Mu Lee raised her eyes, "Just now at that charity auction, I kept having the feeling that there was something going on between your brother and my cousin."
"You see it?" Gu Tingchen was not surprised by this.
When the two of them got together, it was because they wanted to achieve a marriage alliance. Right now, the ambitions of the Mu Family and Gu family had already extended to other cities.
Seeing that this man was not at all bothered, Mu Lee could not help but be slightly taken aback."Did you already know that something was up between the two of them?"
"It's not hard to see that the marriage of Mu Family and the Gu Clan was nothing more than a form of business marriage, pushing the two families to the peak."
The shopping mall was like a battlefield. If they were even the slightest bit careless, they would be engulfed by the other families. Neither the Mu Family nor the Gu family wanted their families to pass away in this era.
Mu Yan and Gu Tingye were the most important people to the two families, and he and Mu Lee were undoubtedly the victims of those two families.
Hearing Gu Tingchen's explanation, Mu Lee felt a lingering fear in her heart. His Mu Family s were meticulous, and had all been arranged by them.
The reason for marrying, fighting for favors, and rising up was all to pave the way for Mu Yan.
Mu Lee looked at the man beside him, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his heart.
All of this originally belonged to him, but because of a car accident, all of his belongings disappeared in an instant.
If there were some things that he had never obtained before, he would not feel sad even if he lost them. However, if he lost them after he obtained them, he would be disappointed after falling into the bottom of the valley.
Yan Shu was driving in the front, and looking at the back through the mirror, he saw that Mu Lee looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped herself. She changed the subject: "Young Master, the Old Master asked me to remind you to return to your house this Sunday."
"I'm not free." After Gu Tingchen heard this, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and the gentle expression on his face instantly disappeared.
Yan Shu revealed a difficult expression, "But ... He said that he wanted to take good care of Young Mistress."
Although Mu Lee did not know what had happened between the father and son duo, looking at the expression on Gu Tingchen's face was sufficient to guess that there must be a huge gap between them.
Mu Lee did not want Gu Tingchen to feel troubled because of him, "I did not see your parents during the wedding ceremony, I should have taken a look."
"In my heart, they are not worthy." In the past five years, he had already seen through the cold of the world, and these so-called family relationships were nothing to him.
"Don't do that." Mu Lee advised sincerely, "No matter what, they are still parents who gave birth to you and raised you. Even if you do not like Gu Tingye, the blood ties between you two cannot be severed."
Mu Lee sometimes thought that even if Gu Tingchen's parents treated him badly, they were still alive, unlike her. His father had passed away long ago, and his mother was still unconscious.
"Aren't you afraid?" She seemed to want to look back at home.
"It is not a question of fear, it is a question of propriety. I'm afraid that your parents already know about the matter of me returning home. This matter is still my reason, so we have to face this problem head on."
Looking at Gu Ting Chen's attitude, Mu Lee clearly felt that his relationship with her family was not that good.
"Tell them I'll be back on time on Sunday." Gu Tingchen did not refute him, but instructed Yan Shu who was driving the car.
"Yes, young master." Yan Shu was very clear in his heart about what had happened to Gu Tingchen in the past few years, so it was normal for him to not want to return home.
However, if he continued to disobey the lord's wishes, then things would not be so easy for him in the future.
When the two of them returned home, they went to sleep early. Mu Lee had been extremely sleepy before she attended the banquet, so she came back to take a bath first before going to bed.
When she was lying on the bed, Mu Lee suddenly remembered a question. They were already married, and although sleeping in the same room was natural, Mu Lee more or less still rejected this question.
After all, they hadn't known each other for long.
