Gu Jingze stood there and listened to her words. His gaze turned serene and his figure darkened. "Uncle-in-law, are you talking about Lin Che?"
"Look, you know it yourself. It's only because we married someone with an unclean family background that our family is in such a mess." Gu Lanshan knew that she had fallen out with Lin Che. Gu Lanshan knew that she had already fallen out with Lin Che. If she were to become the matriarch of the Gu family in the future, she would definitely not have a good life. She might as well not care about all this. If she could make a fuss, then so be it. It would be best if she could completely separate Lin Che from Gu Jingze. If Mo Huiling married into the family, she would be easier to control than Lin Che. However, if she could not, at least she could make a fuss until Lin Che could no longer be the matriarch of the Gu family. Or, if he completely lost his prestige, he would not be able to do anything to her.
As for Gu Jingze, they shared the same surname and were relatives. Even if he did not like her, he would not do anything to her.
It was not the same for those who did not share the same surname.
Gu Jingze slowly turned his head. There was no warmth in his clear and bright eyes. His dark pupils seemed empty, but they gave off a chill. Faintly, there was a deterrent force circulating around them.
Gu Jingze said, "Aunt, have you forgotten that it was grandfather who asked me to marry Lin Che? Are you trying to make things difficult for grandfather by mentioning this in front of him?"
Gu Lanshan scoffed, "Your grandfather wanted you to marry her for the sake of carrying on the family line. However, not only has she failed to fulfill this responsibility, she has even gotten herself into trouble. Since that's the case, there's someone else who can carry on the family line. Compared to Lin Che, who has a clean background, a stable family, and an obvious status, Lin Che is naturally not the best candidate. I believe that there are many who share the same thoughts as me."
Gu Jingze suddenly smiled. A gloomy aura immediately spread out along with this cold smile, causing people to instantly feel a strong sense of deterrence as it spread out from his body.
"I came back not to listen to aunt's criticism of my wife, but to inform everyone that my wedding with Lin Che will be held in the near future. Moreover, it will be held in a grand manner."
"You …" Gu Lanshan was stunned.
They had never held a wedding before. Why would they suddenly want to hold one now?
Was she going to openly announce Lin Che's identity so that she could pave the way for her to become the Mistress in the future?
Gu Lanshan's expression changed. She looked at Gu Xiande coldly and said, "I don't agree. I believe that there are many people who don't agree as well. She hasn't given birth to a child after so long. Who knows if her body can't handle it? If we really announce our marriage, it would be even more of a joke if there were any changes in the future. Holding a wedding? Letting Lin Che enter our Gu Family is already her greatest honor, and we still want to hold a wedding for her? How can her status match? "
"Aunt!" Gu Jingze turned his attention to her. When he stared at Gu Lanshan, his gaze appeared calm and tranquil, but there was a hint of malice hidden within.
Gu Jingze didn't do anything easily, but once he did, no one could stop him.
He had been infamous for his coldness since he was young. Even though Gu Lanshan was too lazy to ask about it, she had long heard about it.
However, she still didn't believe that he would do anything to her, his aunt, just because of Lin Che.
After all, she was his biological aunt.
However, when she was stared at by Gu Jingze like this, her heart gradually became a little blurred. That was because his eyes were too cold, so cold that it seemed to freeze her heart. It made her feel cold from the inside out, and the coldness began to spread from the inside of her skin.
Gu Jingze said, "I call you aunt because we are related by blood. Other than that, I have never received any kindness from aunt since I was young. I have never been taken care of by aunt for a day, and I don't have much affection for aunt either. So, this is my warning to you. Don't interfere with my marriage with Lin Che."
Gu Lanshan's body trembled from the impact of his strong aura.
Gu Lanshan felt her heart tremble. She held onto her chest, her red lips half open. Even the makeup on her face couldn't hide the fear on her face.
Even though she had always known Gu Jingze's character, this was the first time he had stared at her like this.
And it was because of a woman. It was because of Lin Che.
As a member of the Gu Family, Gu Lanshan had never been treated like this in her life. She had never been spoken to like this.
However, looking at Gu Jingze's gaze, she seemed to have lost the ability to speak and was momentarily at a loss for words.
After a long time, she finally regained some strength and turned to Gu Xiande immediately. "Father, I know that you wanted Jingze to marry Lin Che, but that was Elder Sister-in-law's suggestion. It wasn't your original intention. Look at what Lin Che has done now, relying on the fact that you appointed her personally. What has Lin Che done? She has even bewitched Jingze to protect her and go against his own family. If things continue like this, who knows what will happen in the future. "
Gu Xiande had been listening intently.
Having been in the business world for so many years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Gu Xiande was a wily old fox. He looked at Gu Jingze and Gu Lanshan and said, "Jingze, be more polite to your aunt. As a junior, you should know your limits."
Gu Lanshan's expression softened a little, but the next moment, Gu Xiande said, "Lanshan, you're being too nosy. Jingze has to deal with this matter, but it's not as serious as you make it out to be."
He looked at Gu Jingze and said, "If Mo Huiling's child is born, bring her for a DNA test immediately. If it's the Gu Family's child, I'll raise it for you. If it's not the Gu Family's child, I'll announce it to the public immediately. But for the time being, don't hold a wedding before the child is born. Otherwise, the rumors will only worsen."
Gu Jingze shifted his gaze to Gu Xiande and said, "Grandfather!"
Gu Xiande said, "Jingze, you should listen to me on this matter."
"What if I say no?"
The few of them were stunned again.
Was Gu Jingze going to rebel against Gu Xiande in order to announce it to the public with Lin Che?
Gu Lanshan came forward again and said, "Father, did you see that? I told you that Lin Che would be a disaster sooner or later."
Gu Jingze was still standing there, but he seemed to have an unstoppable force. He said calmly, "Even if she's a disaster, I'm taking her now. If you want to object, you have to listen to me first. I've already said that I'm going to announce our marriage. The wedding photos have already been taken and we can start preparing for the wedding soon. It doesn't matter if you object, I don't care. I'm just here to inform you."
"You …" Gu Lanshan glared at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze's eyes lit up. "Why, Aunt, do you have a problem with that?"
Gu Lanshan couldn't help but take a step back.
She was the Eldest Miss of the Gu Family after all, but she was being pressured by her own nephew.
However, even though she wasn't convinced, she didn't dare to say a word when she saw Gu Jingze's imposing manner.
