Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Escalation of the Situation

Wang Guihua was somewhat displeased, whose daughter is this? They said they would come to visit, but still haven’t arrived. Quite a lady, huh?

Yang Hongying nervously clenched her fists, biting her lips, feeling extremely tense, and subconsciously looked at Gu Juntao.

Gu Juntao nodded at her, indicating it was fine, walked over, and held Yang Hongying’s hand: "My girlfriend is already here; today I brought her to meet you. I wish to marry Yang Hongying."

Yan Kai also stood up, feeling very nervous, worried about his cousin.

Wang Guihua was utterly dumbfounded, as if her brain had been hit by something heavy, her ears buzzing, watching her son’s mouth moving but not comprehending what he’s saying, only feeling dizzy and thinking the sky was falling.

The son she raised lovingly from childhood, whom she placed infinite hopes upon, who would have thought he found a widow! And a widow three years older than Gu Juntao! If word got out, the Gu Family would lose all face!

Gu Zishan said nothing, his face like a sculpture.

To be honest, he never had great expectations for Gu Juntao. His second son wasn’t gifted; his abilities were average, so he never expected much from him. Therefore, the blow wasn’t as hard as Wang Guihua’s. Besides, he was still mentally exhausted from being provoked by Gu Junming earlier, thus he had no reaction.

Gu Dongfang was also silent, his expression very calm, unable to tell what he was thinking.

His heart was in a mess too. He never dreamt that both grandsons would find such matches. Gu Junming chose an orphan, but at least she was a decent girl; Gu Juntao’s girlfriend was a widow, more outrageous than his brother’s choice!

But his relationship with Mr. Yan was so good, and Yang Hongying was Yan Kai’s cousin. If the attitude was too harsh, there would be trouble later on. The eldest found Sun Chan, which at most would only lead to some gossip, but finding Yang Hongying... truly troublesome.

Wang Guihua’s lips quivered, her voice hoarse: "You... what did you say? Say that again... Yang Hongying is your..."

"Yes, she’s my girlfriend. Yang Hongying and I want to get married."

An eerie silence fell over the room, terrifying in its quietness. Yang Hongying nervously looked at Wang Guihua and Gu Zishan, both silent. Yang Hongying was mentally prepared but felt extremely sad.

It wasn’t going to work, dreaming about it from the start was a mistake.

Wang Guihua looked at Yang Hongying and sneered, "I absolutely won’t agree! Yang Hongying, you’re nothing but a useless widow, a few years older than my son. Don’t you know people have pride and shame? You’re harming my son, and even if I have to risk my life, I won’t accept you!"

"Sorr- sorry..." Yang Hongying cried even more miserably than Sun Chan earlier.

Gu Juntao anxiously grabbed her hand: "Don’t cry, I said I wouldn’t give up on you, we will be together for life!"

"I don’t agree, get out, get out!" Wang Guihua shouted, then rushed at Yang Hongying like a beast, attempting to grab her face.

Everyone was shocked; Gu Zishan and Gu Juntao grabbed her arms together. Both were soldiers, but Wang Guihua had surprisingly strong strength, pushed them aside, and charged towards Yang Hongying. Her fingertips were about to grip her neck when Yan Kai intervened, grabbing her wrist and swinging it to the side.

Wang Guihua tried to hit Yang Hongying again but was blocked by Gu Juntao. She struggled to push through but couldn’t break free from Gu Juntao, shouting angrily, "Don’t stop me! I won’t spare her, if she’s here, I won’t be! I won’t agree!"
