Run away! The domineering president's strong love
Chapter 26 The earthworm shakes the tree
The day of engagement soon arrived, and early in the morning, the Jin family mansion was surrounded by reporters: This is undoubtedly an exciting day, the union of the eldest daughter of the Jin family and the president of Gu Corporation, they will witness a story of a strong combination of business empires.
The reporter focused on the Gu family's marriage proposal: famous paintings and calligraphy, jewelry and jade, and a blank check that can be filled with any amount. This is enough to show how much the Gu family values the eldest daughter of the Jin family.
Jin Mingzhu was watching the excitement from upstairs. Her brother had tried to persuade her for a long time, and her mother had threatened and lured her, but she remained unmoved. She wanted to see how the engagement party would go on without the main character.
"Minghao, go and bring your sister down. The Gu family is already in the front hall. She's not here. What's going on?"
Mrs. Jin was busy arranging the engagement, but Jin Mingzhu happened to cause all these troubles.
Jin Minghao was sweating with anxiety and answered quickly. "My little sister locked the door. She said that if anyone dared to let her come today, she would die in front of us."
Madam Jin said in hatred, "What an evil creature!"
Then he continued, "First, make today's engagement party a success. Give instructions: If anyone asks, say that she has caught a cold and is resting in bed. She cannot be seen by others."
"Okay, ma'am." The servants went down to do their own things.
Mr. and Mrs. Sheng arrived at the Jin Mansion early and accompanied Gu's parents in the front hall.
When Gu Huaijin entered the room and didn't see Jin Mingzhu, he realized in his heart: this girl is probably still stubborn, but there is no need to rush, she will be his soon anyway, and he can take his course slowly after marriage.
Seeing that Jin Mingzhu did not show up, Gu's mother looked a little unhappy: How could the woman be absent from the engagement party?
Mrs. Jin responded, "Xianxian is very happy about this marriage. Unfortunately, she caught a cold last night and had a high fever all night. The doctor told her not to be exposed to the wind. My daughter is weak and sickly. I will trouble my in-laws to take care of her in the future."
Mother Sheng quickly agreed: "We are all family from now on, so don't be so formal."
Seeing that Mrs. Jin was so sincere, it was unreasonable to argue about it. After all, both parents were discussing some matters concerning the marriage.
When it comes to the betrothal gift, Jin Minghao wanted to refuse: the Jin family is marrying off their daughter, not selling her. Gu Huaijin patiently explained, "This is a material guarantee and promise I give to Qianqian. The check is blank for her to fill in. I will always be her support and support."
This answer made the Jin family appreciate Gu Huaijin even more. They thought they made the right choice for this future son-in-law.
Because Jin's father was recuperating abroad and could not be present, the two sides finalized the wedding date, betrothal gifts and other matters. Everyone had a good chat and the matter was settled.
Jin Mingzhu was lying on the bed, listening to the noisy sounds outside, and she just wanted to laugh: an engagement without a heroine could actually end "successfully".
She looked up and saw that the bodyguards at the door had been withdrawn. They must have felt that the situation had come to an end and she could only accept her fate.
The harbor city at night was as lively as during the day. Chen Chuan was returning to the hotel after finishing his business when he caught a glimpse of a slender figure in the lobby. He asked tentatively, "Ms. Mingzhu?"
Jin Mingzhu looked up and saw that it was Gu Huaijin's secretary. She sneaked out to negotiate with Gu Huaijin and make him give up. So she said calmly: "I want to see Gu Huaijin."
Chen Chuan did not dare to delay and took the person to the room after asking Gu Huaijin. Although Mingzhu felt it was inappropriate, she would inevitably be discovered by the Jin family if she showed up in public, so she also entered the elevator.
There was only one light on in the room, and Gu Huaijin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to them. It was half light and half dark, like a god ruling the night.
Chen Chuan went out and closed the door. The click sound of the door closing was amplified in the dark night, and also stimulated Jin Mingzhu's tense nerves.
"Come and sit down." Gu Huaijin sat down and motioned her to sit down.
"No need, I'll just stand here and say a few words and then leave." Jin Mingzhu said.
"Ah."
"I don't want to get engaged this time. Mr. Gu, I've told you repeatedly before that I have a boyfriend and I love him. I'm grateful for your saving me before, and I'm sorry that the things that the media broke have damaged your reputation. But I can't marry you."
Jin Mingzhu tried her best to act calm, but her tightening fingers betrayed her.
Gu Huaijin turned around and slowly walked towards her.
"Ms. Jin, you don't seem to understand the current situation well enough."
"What?" Jin Mingzhu was somewhat puzzled.
"The current situation is: we are engaged and our wedding date is under discussion." Gu Huaijin said calmly.
"There is one thing you may not know yet," Gu Huaijin was in a good mood when he saw her helpless expression. "The information leaked by the media was provided by me."
"Gu Huaijin, you are shameless!" Jin Mingzhu was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly.
No wonder my brother wanted to remove the news immediately, but he was powerless. The backers of these media turned out to be Gu. It was this revelation that led to this situation.
Her mother was afraid that she would marry Xu Yang, but Gu Huaijin's initiative to propose marriage gave her mother a good way out.
Jin Mingzhu's face was full of anger. She stared at Gu Huaijin and said, "You planned all this, didn't you? Gu Huaijin, you are so calculating."
"Oh! Do you think that the wealth accumulated by several generations of the Gu family will be defeated by a poor boy who has nothing? Am I scheming? If I am not scheming, you two bitter lovers will have to part ways."
"Do you think your relationship can overcome the concept of family status that has existed for thousands of years? You are just like an ant trying to shake a tree. You are overestimating your own abilities."
Gu Huaijin stared at her, seeming to find her behavior ridiculous.
"No, I love him, and we will be together." Jin Mingzhu murmured at a loss.
"Boyfriend? The poor lawyer who was rejected by the Jin family?" Gu Huaijin said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"You have no right to insult him. In my heart, he is ten thousand times nobler than you. You are just a robber who takes advantage of the situation." Jin Mingzhu was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.
Gu Huaijin cut off her hand. "Don't mention that man anymore. I hope you can behave yourself in the next few months and prepare to be Mrs. Gu."
Jin Mingzhu walked out of the room in a daze. It started to drizzle on the street. The raindrops hit her face, making it wet. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
Chen Chuan followed her and offered to take her home, but she refused at all.
Gu Huaijin's words echoed in her ears over and over again. Yes, she was overestimating herself. She thought that love could overcome all difficulties and that two people together could solve all problems.
She couldn't even get past her parents, let alone someone as deep-minded and calculating as Gu Huaijin. Should she compromise? Just compromise? No! She would never compromise. Fate was so unfair, but she would resist it.
Since it has become a dead end, the only way to survive is to fight hard.
After returning home, Jin Mingzhu quickly packed her things. The back door of the house was unguarded and it was the only way for her to escape.
She was familiar with every corner of the house, and her heart was pounding nervously as she skillfully avoided the security guards patrolling the villa.
It's almost there, one, two, three... Just as she put her hand on the latch on the door.
"Xianxian." This heart-wrenching call made her stop dead in her tracks. How could she not recognize her brother's voice? She didn't dare to look back and see her brother's eyes filled with disappointment.
"Xianxian, are you going to abandon this family and your brother, your parents?"
"Brother, I..." Before she could even open her mouth, tears started to flow. Making this decision meant that she would hurt everyone in the family, but she had no way out.
"Brother, I have no choice. Please, let me go."
After a long stalemate, she stopped where she was. Jin Minghao came forward and stuffed a small bag into her hand. He raised his hand to pull out the bolt, the door opened, and pushed her out.
Then he reminded her, "Your phone and bank card are in your bag. There's some cash in it. Walk 100 meters east. There will be someone there to take you to the airport."
"Nian Nian, take care of yourself. I will always protect you."
"Come on!"
Not daring to waste even a moment, Jin Mingzhu ran quickly and saw the car at the corner.
The night was as dark as ink, and the car was running all the way. The moment she got on the plane, Jin Mingzhu's nervous heart finally calmed down.
In the early hours of the morning, the hotel door was knocked open.
"Boss Gu, our people just monitored that Miss Jin had escaped from home and is now on a plane to Beijing."
Chen Chuan looked at the man while reporting. Gu Huaijin looked normal, and it was hard to tell what emotions were surging underneath.
"I underestimated her. She actually had the guts to elope."
"Is there anyone helping her?"
"Young Master Jin Minghao of the Jin family."
"Very good! This game is becoming more and more interesting." Gu Huaijin smiled, but his eyes became colder.
