Dear Commander-in-Chief

Chapter 314: If You Didn’t Come, I Would Be Married

“The Mu family’s engagement...” Old Master Gu thought for a moment.

Old Master Mu was once his disciple.

Of course, he wouldn’t forget the engagement that was set many years ago.

It was just that Mu Liuchuan was fine when he was young. But now, he was too passionate about business. He had a feeling that he was anxious for quick results. He didn’t like it too much, so he kept this matter on hold and didn’t want to mention it.

If it were her younger brother, Mu Tianyu... That child had become more steady in the recent few years. That wasn’t bad.

Seeing that the Old Master had remembered about the engagement, the Old Madam seized the opportunity and said, “Then, let Xuexue marry the Mu family!”

She squinted and calculated clearly in her heart. If the Gong family couldn’t be reached, it wasn’t a bad idea to be related to the Mu family either.

The Mu family was in the western medicine business. She heard that the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Liuchuan, had recently signed a few big deals overseas and became the boss of the Empire’s western medicine corporation.

The Shen family’s medicine packaging business was relevant to the Mu family’s downstream industrial chain.

If she could rely on the Mu family to secure the packaging rights for those big deals, even if the Shen family’s lawsuit failed, they might be able to tide through this crisis of being on the verge of bankruptcy.

The old lady had her own plans.

Unexpectedly, Old Master refused immediately. “The Mu family’s marriage contract belongs to Qiqi! It’s not Xuexue’s turn!”

“Who said that? Where was the name written on the engagement? They only said about the Gu family’s daughter!”

“When the marriage contract was formed, Qiqi was just born. You didn’t have Xuexue yet, so it was naturally Qiqi. Furthermore, when the other party was serious, Xuexue wasn’t even considered a Gu family daughter!” The old master wasn’t polite at all.

These words made Gu Meifeng and Gu Xuexue even more ashamed. They couldn’t wait to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

That’s right. Gu Xuexue shouldn’t have been surnamed Gu. She was the daughter of Gu Meifeng’s ex-husband! At most, she was the Gu family’s granddaughter.

“Mommy, are you asking me to listen to Grandma and Grandpa’s words?” Gu Xuexue’s face was pale. She initially had a trace of hope that Old Madam would support her and announce some good news.

In the end, she was reduced to something worthless.

It wasn’t her turn to propose a marriage to the Gong family.

She wasn’t even fit to marry the Mu family!

Could it be that that bookworm was compatible?

“Xue Xue, don’t worry. Mom will think of a way for you. Think of a way...” Gu Meifeng didn’t expect the Old Master to object either.

She had clearly planned it with Old Madam to choose either the Gong family or Mu family. They had both pushed Xuexue out for a marriage alliance.

The old madam agreed on the spot because Xue Xue was the most sensible and obedient granddaughter of this generation. She was easy to control!

She was more suitable than Gu Yuanyuan.

It was an obvious choice compared to Gu Qiqi.

But no one expected the situation to change so suddenly. Gu Meifeng was at a loss for words.

The old master and the old madam were still arguing with each other.

“Old man, I don’t like to hear these words of yours. How is Xuexue not a Gu family daughter?”

“It’s not up to you to decide if it’s true or not. Outsiders have their own judgment. It’s useless even if you call a mule a horse.”

“Then, you insist on having that wild girl Gu Qiqi represent our Gu family in an arranged marriage?”

“Qiqi is educated and polite. She can differentiate right from wrong. She has the aura that a noble young lady should have. She’s not a wild girl! She’s most suitable to be married over!”

“I think you’ve been bewitched by that wild girl!”

“The engagement is Qiqi’s. No matter how much you smear and quibble, it’s useless. A person has to be honest! It belongs to whoever it should be!”

“You... You... You’re making me so angry, old man!”

Old Madam couldn’t out-talk Old Master and was angry.

At first, the people at the table listened happily and discussed the pros and cons of this marriage to the Gu and Shen families. Seeing that the two old people were getting more and more serious and fierce as they quarreled, they tactfully shut their mouths.

Gu Qiqi was eating absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, he heard the little dirty turtle mutter anxiously, “Master Jue, oh Master Jue. If you don’t come soon, your wife is going to get married!”

Xiaobei tugged at her sleeves and whispered, “Sister, what if they find a new brother-in-law for you? I still prefer Brother Gong...”
