Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

"Step aside!"

Zhong Meilan wore a cheongsam and had exquisite makeup. Even though she lived in an apartment, she still exuded the aura of a wealthy lady.

The bodyguard didn't move at all and said in a businesslike manner, "Madam, you can't go out."

Zhong Meilan's face darkened. "Today is my daughter's engagement party. Can you afford to delay us? Get lost!"

As she was about to force her way in, two bodyguards stepped forward and blocked her way like a wall. No matter how Zhong Meilan scratched her, she neither fought back nor moved.

In a short while, both bodyguards had bruises on their faces, and Zhong Meilan's hair was a little messy, completely losing the elegance she had when she just opened the door.

Her eyebrows were raised, and she pointed at the two men's noses and cursed, "You blind people! Do you know who I am?"

The slightly taller bodyguard said, "You are Mr. Gu's mother, Mrs. Gu."

"You know why you don't get out of the way!"

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Mr. Gu has ordered that you can't go anywhere until the engagement party is over."

Zhong Meilan's face turned green. "Is Gu Jingyan crazy? Why can't I go to my daughter's engagement? Does he want to illegally detain me?"

The bodyguard said, "Boss Gu said that you are not in good health and that such a noisy place is not suitable for you. He asked you to stay at home and recuperate. This is also a filial piety."

"Filial piety is bullshit!"

Zhong Meilan swore uncontrollably.

"He thinks it's embarrassing to have me as his mother, right? Even if I, Zhong Meilan, am embarrassed, I still gave birth to him!"

The bodyguard followed her words and said, "You are right."

Zhong Meilan's roar was like hitting cotton. No matter how she roared, she remained unmoved.

Seeing that going crazy was useless, Zhong Meilan said angrily, "Call Gu Jingyan! I want to talk to him!"

Gu Jingyan blocked all her contact information, so as long as he didn't want to see her, she would never be able to contact him.

The bodyguard did not refuse. He took out his cell phone and called Gu Jingyan.

"Mr. Gu, my wife is not cooperating. I need to talk to you."

Gu Jingyan was heading towards the dressing room with Han Ruoxing at the moment, and stopped when he received the call.

Han Ruoxing saw him stop and turned to look at him.

Gu Jingyan said, "You go in first. I'll take a call and come over in a moment."

Han Ruoxing nodded and left, lifting her skirt.

Gu Jingyan took the phone and walked to a secluded place, saying calmly, "Give her the phone."

"Yes."

There was a commotion over there, and soon Zhong Meilan's sharp voice came, "Gu Jingyan! What right do you have to stop me from attending Jing Yang's engagement party? I'm her mother! Get those two dogs out of here right now, or you can't guarantee what I'll do next!"

Having left the celebrity circle where she had lived for many years and lost the halo she once had, she became more sarcastic and unfamiliar.

Gu Jingyan said calmly, "It's just an engagement party, it's not that important. When we get married, if you want to come, I'll have someone pick you up."

Zhong Meilan looked unhappy. Gu Jingyan had obviously made up his mind not to let her appear at today's engagement party.

Once the engagement is completed, the marriage will be announced to the outside world. According to the old lady's style, as long as Lin Shu does not make a big mistake, the marriage will be a done deal. If you really wait until the engagement is completed, it will be too late.

"Gu Jingyan! Gu Jingran is about to marry the Mo family, but your grandmother lets Jingyang get engaged to a poor boy. Can't you see who Jiang Sheng's favorite heir is? You don't stop this marriage, but come to stop me. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Gu Jingyan asked, "Don't you love Jingyang the most? Are you willing to use her marriage to help me in my career?"

Zhong Meilan thought that Gu Jingyan cared about her loving Gu Jingyang and ignoring him, so she hurriedly said, "I love Jingyang, and I love you too. You are all flesh and blood that fell from my body, which one of you I don't love? But Jingyang is a girl after all, and the face of our Gu family still needs you, our son, to support it. Her marriage will help you, and you will firmly sit in the position of the heir of the Gu family. Aren't we all prosperous together?"

"Besides, what does that poor boy Lin Shu have? Jingyang is so spoiled, can he afford to support her? Wouldn't that push Jingyang into the fire pit? You asked me to tell Jingyang that she listens to me the most. I will help her find a good marriage, which will not only allow her to live a life of worry-free life as her eldest daughter, but also contribute to your career."

Gu Jingyan laughed, his expression sneered, "The purpose of a marriage is mutual benefit. They are willing to pamper Jing Yang because the Gu family has their own interests. But what if I fail in the competition? If what I want is lost, have you ever thought about Jing Yang's situation at that time?"

"You love her, but you want her to get married and push her into the fire pit? Are you doing this for us or for your own glory and wealth?"

Gu Jingyan didn't believe a word of Zhong Meilan's words. Jingyang was raised by her since childhood. Even though he had been betrayed, it was still a selfish desire to repay her and it was hard to give up. She felt sorry for Zhong Meilan and often helped her. If it weren't for Gu Jingyang's leniency, how could Zhong Meilan be raised so delicately living in this small apartment?

Zhong Meilan herself knew clearly that the only person she could use now was her daughter. She hoped that Gu Jingyang would marry into a wealthy family so that she could regain her former status of luxury and respect. However, Gu Jingyang wanted to marry Lin Shu, a man from a mediocre family. This would cut off her chance of turning things around. Wouldn't she have to do everything she could to stop him?

What is this for them? It’s just for her own selfish desires!

Zhong Meilan was immediately annoyed when her thoughts were exposed. "You asked her to marry Lin Shu, so you were right? What does the Lin family have? A villa? A nanny? She has never even poured a glass of water by herself since she was a child. You asked her to marry into a family like that and be a nanny for a bunch of poor people. Aren't you pushing her into the fire pit?"

"First of all, Lin Shu has a job, and Jing Yang also has a job, so she doesn't have to be a nanny, she can pay for one; secondly, you don't have to worry about where she lives, grandma has prepared a dowry and property for her; finally, Jing Yang likes it, and she is willing. I want my sister to go through the engagement ceremony happily, and no one can ruin it, including you."

The last sentence was almost a warning.

Zhong Meilan was so angry that her voice trembled, "Unfilial son! Unfilial son! I am your mother! How dare you treat me like this!"

"The weather is so hot, stay home to cool off. I will pass your blessings to Jingyang for you."

Zhong Meilan was cursing, "You monster! You lunatic! I knew you were here to collect your debt! Why didn't I strangle you to death when you were born? Even if I had a dog..."

Gu Jingyan hung up the phone, cutting off the dirty talk.

He thought about it and sent a message to the bodyguard, "Take her phone away and give it to her after the engagement party."

After giving the warning, Gu Jingyan stood there for a while before turning around and heading towards the dressing room. As a result, as he just turned the corner, he saw Han Ruoxing hiding there with her dog.

Gu Jingyan...

Gu Jingyan's sadness, which he had no time to retract, turned into internal injuries.

"Didn't you go to the dressing room?"
