den."I understand, I'll go out now."Because of too much intimacy, my shirt was already creased, he ironed it out in three or two moves, then looked up at Xu Zui Ning."I still have a meeting to attend...Everyone was startled out of their thoughts by the scream, and they all looked up suddenly to see that the large screen in front of them had suddenly lit up.

Because this banquet hall is used for many purposes on a regular basis, there is a very large screen in the center. However, it wasn't needed for this occasion, so the screen was blacked out.

At some point, the screen suddenly lit up.

But more shocking was what flashed across the screen.

It's a slideshow of several pictures.

Seeing those photos, Su Kexin was struck by lightning, her hands and feet turning ice cold.

That is her picture.

In the picture, she has flushed cheeks, disheveled clothes, and messy hair. She lies between the sheets with a suggestive expression.

Though she didn't reveal anything she shouldn't have, her flushed face and demeanor were enough to tell anyone with a discerning eye what she was up to.

Even as ashes, Su Kexin could recognize these photographs.

Those were pictures from two years ago. They were the ones Gu Yichan had used to question her back then.

She quickly turned her head. When her gaze fell on Gu Yichen again, it was no longer shock, but hate, a deep and intense hatred!

She knew Gu Yichan hated her because he misunderstood that she had betrayed him back then. That's why he revealed his own affairs at this family banquet, because he wanted to take revenge on her.

But she never expected that Gu Yichen would actually bring out these photos! And show them to so many people!

Is he really going to ruin himself!

Even if she had betrayed him back then, did he have to go this far!

On the other side, Gu Yichen was equally shocked when he saw these photos. His astonishment was no less than Su Kexin's.

He did indeed want to expose Su Kexin's scandals, but he absolutely never imagined using this method.

Such a despicable and ruthless way!

So he had no idea why these photos suddenly surfaced.

In his panic, his first reaction was to explain to Su Keqin, but as soon as he looked up, he met Su Keqin's eyes filled with hatred.

Suddenly, he felt like he had fallen into a world of illness and obsession.

He had never imagined that the woman he once loved deeply would one day look at him with such eyes, so intense and truly filled with hatred.

Similarly astonished were the other guests present.

This time, the banquet was well-attended. Besides several members of the Gu family, there were also relatives and in-laws, as well as friends and business partners of the Gu family, filling the hall to capacity.

Everyone was astonished when they saw this photo.

Although they were all well-bred members of high society, human nature being what it is, they couldn't help but lower their voices and start gossiping.

"My God, what on earth is going on How did these photos end up released at a Gu family dinner"

"Are you stupid Didn't you see that the person in the photo is Gu Ershao's newly married wife"

"Ah! It really does look like... When was this photo taken It probably wasn't taken with Gu Chi, so could it be another man"

"This is a huge scandal!! I think this woman is going to be kicked out of her house!"

Although the people present were members of prestigious families, their comments did not resort to overly harsh language. However, an undercurrent of Schadenfreude and sarcasm could not be suppressed from their tone.

Su Ke Xin listened, her face growing paler and paler. Her hands clenched beneath the table, almost piercing her palms.

And Gu Chi, the moment he saw the photo, the icy anger in his black eyes finally erupted!

Damn it!

Someone actually dared to make a move on his woman under his nose!

The main console wasn't far from the primary screen, and Gu Chi almost without thinking, picked up the steak knife from the table and directly stabbed it into the power button on the screen!

Bang!

For a moment, the screen returned to darkness!

Everyone around was taken aback by Gu Chi's actions, their words dying in their throats as a stunned silence fell.

In an instant, the entire hall was plunged into silence.

Everyone dared not say another word, only looking at Old Master Gu in the middle of the table, wanting to know what his reaction would be.

"Hmph." Old Master Gu had indeed experienced countless storms and trials. When all this happened, he was also shocked, but soon he calmed down, let out a cold snort, and looked at Gu Chi, "Gu Chi, is all this true"

Gu Chi, however, did not immediately answer Patriarch Gu's question. To be precise, his attention was not even on Patriarch Gu, but on Su Ke Xin beside him.

Looking at her face as pale as paper, Gu Chi's black eyes grew even darker and colder.

"Gu Chi!" Seeing that Gu Chi did not answer him, the old master Gu finally had a few more points of anger on his face, and slammed the crutch in his hand heavily, "I'm asking you a question!"

Then Gu Chi slowly turned his head, his expression still icy. "I said it wasn't true, do you believe me"

Although he was his own grandfather, Gu Chi still respected Old Master Gu, but not in a servile way.

Master Gu was so angry that his wrinkles seemed to be about to fly off, "Gu Chi! Don't you really think that a woman who behaves like this, who is unfaithful, could possibly enter the gates of our Gu family!"

Grandfather Gu's single sentence caused a huge stir in the room.

Mr. Gu's words couldn't be clearer, he was denying Su Kexin her status as a daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

Su Ke Xin's body trembled uncontrollably.

She herself didn't know why, when she heard Old Master Gu say this, her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

Mingming, getting married was just for the household registration in City S. Now that she has it, even if she loses this marriage, she should be indifferent, right

For some reason, the thought of divorcing Gu Chi and being unable to return to that villa ever again, the thought of herself and Gu Chi possibly becoming strangers once more, filled her with a strange sense of emptiness.

Noticing Su Kexin's change in expression, Gu Chi only felt a slight pang in his heart.

Almost without thinking, he grasped Su Keqin's hand tightly under the table.

All the people present were terrified by Old Master Gu's anger and dared not speak. But there was one person who desperately bowed his head, afraid that others would see his smug expression.

That person is Lin Xiaoru.

Great, the photos on the screen are all her work.

Although Lin Xiaoru was happy to hear that Gu Yichen was going to expose Su Kexin's true face at the banquet, she also felt it wasn't cruel enough.

If you're going to harm Su Kexin, do it thoroughly. Make her completely disgraced and ensure she can never hold her head high in the upper echelons of society again!

So she secretly bribed the Gu family's maid and played the photos in her hands.

Letting Su Ke Xin be seen in such a disgraceful state. In this way, even if Su Ke Xin and Gu Chi divorced, with Gu Yi Han's personality that values face so much, it would be absolutely impossible for him to have anything more to do with Su Ke Xin!

Lin Xiaoru was smugly thinking, waiting for Su Keqin to be harshly kicked out of the Gu family, but she didn't expect that at this time, Gu Chi suddenly spoke. The words he said froze the smile on Lin Xiaoru's face!

“Grandpa, you’re right. Perhaps Xinci isn’t qualified to be the wife of a Gu family member.” Gu Chi’s first half sentence made Su Ke Xin’s face even paler, but he quickly added, “However, my wife doesn’t need the affirmation of a family.”

Su Ke Xin looked up in disbelief, meeting Gu Chi's gaze.

His obsidian eyes, calm yet resolute, held a warmth that seeped through his skin and into hers, melting the chill in her heart.

Su Kexin suddenly felt her nose prickle with tears.

Mr. Gu was also stunned. On the side, Gu Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and hissed in a low voice: "Gu Chi, how do you speak to your grandfather! Marrying such an unfaithful woman, shaming our Gu family's face, you still don't admit your mistake!"

Gu Chi then slowly shifted his gaze from Su Ke Xin to Gu Xiao, his eyes cold.

Just one look, and Gu Xiao instantly felt like he'd fallen into an ice cellar.

"Gu Xiao." Gu Chi addressed Gu Xiao by name, his voice cold to the point of frost. "My woman, you dare to point fingers"

Gu Xiao's face turned pale, wanting to say something, but suddenly, Old Master Gu beside him gave a light cough.

Suddenly, Gu Xiao didn't dare to speak any more, only looking at Old Master Gu.

"This matter is still open to debate, after all, she is a woman that Gu Zhiming legally married." Old Master Gu said lightly, his tone unreadable, "Don't let the rumors of some small people cause you to fight amongst yourselves."

Now, Su Keqin was stunned.

She didn't know much about Old Master Gu. But word on the street was that he was a ruthless and heartless man, otherwise he wouldn't have single-handedly built up the glory of the Gu family.

But unexpectedly, he was so agreeable. Even though I made Gu Jia lose face in front of so many people, he didn't hold it against me

Gu Xiao and Gu Chi were also very surprised by their grandfather's reaction, but after all, they knew that their grandfather always said what he meant, so they didn't dare to say much.

Of all the people present, Lin Xiaoru was the most unwilling to accept defeat.

Her eyes widened, almost unable to believe what she was hearing!

She originally thought she could definitely ruin Su Kexin this time, making her disgraced and kicked out. However, to her surprise, nothing happened at all!

Gu Zhi didn't disdain Su Ke Xin at all, and even Old Master Gu didn't pursue it!

What on earth is going on!

Unwilling to accept this, Lin Xiaoru almost blurted out without thinking: “Grandfather, these aren’t rumors at all, they are all—”

Before Ke Lin Xiaoru could finish her words, Old Master Gu suddenly raised his head. His piercing gaze frightened Ke Lin Xiaoru so much that she couldn't utter another word!

"Where did this ignorant girl come from" Old Master Gu said coldly, "You call the Grandmaster by his name Do you understand, before you marry into our Gu family, don't dare to comment on our Gu family's affairs!"

Lin Xiaoru was really scared now, regretting so much that cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

She never expected that she had worked so hard to set this trap, but instead of harming Su Kexin, she ended up giving Old Master Gu a bad impression.

She instantly dared not say another word, only lowering her head, her pearly teeth almost biting through her red lips.

Why!

Why on earth!

Why is Su Kexin always so lucky, how come she can't die no matter what!

The next meal was eaten in unusual silence.

Finally, after the meal was over, everyone went to the hall next to the dining room to dance.

The band played on stage, their melodious music filling the spacious hall. Countless couples embraced each other and danced gracefully. Servers carrying champagne and red wine moved through the crowd. Those who weren't dancing gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing merrily.

Everything looked just like a prom scene from a TV show, but Su Kexin felt completely out of place. Standing behind Gu Chi's wheelchair, she could occasionally feel the stares, glances, or even mocking looks from those around her.

"Gu Chi." Looking at the center of the hall, Lin Xiaoru and Gu Yichen were dancing, attracting the attention of everyone present. Su Ke Xin felt even more uncomfortable all over, "Shall we go back"

Anyway, they can't dance, so they might as well stay here and do nothing.

"I don't want to, though," Gu Chi said.

Su Ke Xin felt a little deflated, but she didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.

"What Don't like it" Gu Chi's eyes darkened slightly, "Because of what just happened"

Su Kexin awkwardly didn't know how to answer, "I don't really care. When that thing happened two years ago, I had endured more scorn and ridicule. I just...I just worry that you won't be happy staying here."

Su Keqin's words were spoken from the heart.

Gu Chi is her husband. Looking at it from an outsider's perspective, one might think she put a green hat on Gu Chi. As a man, his face would definitely be unable to hold up.

Su Keqin really didn't want, because of her own reasons, this perfect and excellent Gu Chi would become the object of everyone's ridicule.

He didn't expect Su Kexin to answer like that. Gu Chi was taken aback at first, but the next second, he turned his wheelchair towards Su Kexin. Seeing the nervousness and awkwardness on her face, his heart softened involuntarily.

"Su Kexin," he suddenly said, "Do you want to dance"

"Dance" Su Keqin was stunned, "With who"

Gu Zhi was in a wheelchair, definitely unable to dance. Besides Gu Zhi, she didn't know anyone else at the scene.

Looking at Su Ke Xin's dumbfounded and silly appearance, Gu Chi couldn't help but chuckle.

"With me," he stated curtly, and then suddenly seized Su Kexin's hand.

And Gu Chi

Su Kexin was even more stunned. Before she could react, Gu Chi suddenly took control of his wheelchair and swerved towards the center of the hall.

Thus, Su Keqin, who was being led by him, was also led by him toward the center.

"Gu Chi" Su Ke Xin was completely dumbfounded, "What are you doing"

"Dance." Gu Chi's usually indifferent eyebrows and eyes now held a hint of a faint smile. "You said you used to learn dance steps, didn't you Can you still do them now"

Su Ke Xin only then reacted, Gu Chi was truly going to dance with her.

She suddenly blushed, "I... I was just kidding, I can't even keep the beat."

Gu Chi's smile widened, "That's even better."

Su KeXin was startled, and before she could even ask "What's better to do," Gu Chi grasped her hand and suddenly pulled with all his might.

Suddenly, Su Ke Xin stumbled, and her whole body fell into Gu Chi's arms.

"Gu Chi What are you doing" She panicked, stumbling to get up, but Gu Chi had already trapped her hands between his and her waist, preventing her from moving.

"Don't move." Gu Chi looked down at her, his eyes filled with amusement. "We're dancing."Puyun Gu Xia raised her head in a daze, it was Cheng Jibei standing beside her, his expression very serious. Xu Zui Ning looked at Cheng Jibei with some displeasure.I was about to speak, but suddenly...
