PA Wen maintained his elegant and gracious smiling face, but Mrs. Wen didn’t buy any of these and she was unwilling to back off.
“What do you think you’re doing? You’ve been busy the whole day and you still want to drive for several hours at this time? You haven’t even had the time to rest yet,” Mrs. Wen chided sharply. “If you want to go home, suit yourself, but leave my son alone.”
“What’s wrong with your son? One day, your son will be married to my daughter. He’ll become my son-in-law sooner or later,” Mrs. Xiao smirked.
“He wouldn’t dare!” Mrs. Wen stood upright with her hands on her waist and growled.
“Mom, please stop talking.” PA Wen glanced at his mother with a hint of sorrow. He turned his gaze at Mrs. Xiao, but his eyes shifted to a gentler and happier vibe. “Auntie, the resort is in the outskirts of town and it’s quite dangerous to drive at a time like this. I hope that you’d consider going back tomorrow for my sake, please.”
“Why are you telling her that for?”
“Because he’s thoughtful—unlike you, talking like his wicked stepmother,” Mrs. Xiao rebutted.
“Mom, you too, stop talking for a while.” Xiao Yaojing massaged her forehead, feeling distressed and anxious. She knew that this verbal battle scene was going to occur.
Ye Yuwei heard the commotion and brought Xixi and Xicheng with her downstairs. Meanwhile, Gu Juexi, who had gone out for a walk, had arrived at the center of the ongoing drama as well.
“What’s with the noise?” The lake echoed with Gu Juexi’s stoic and dignified voice, causing the audience to suddenly shut up.
“CEO.” PA Wen nodded towards the man who was slowly approaching them.
“Mr. Gu,” Mr. Wen hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Yaojing frowned in confusion and looked at PA Wen, miming, ‘Why is he here?’
Anyway, his appearance was for the best. The quarrel would hopefully reduce with the presence of outsiders.
“Mr. Gu.” Mr. Xiao reached over to shake Gu Juexi’s hand. “Your reputation precedes you.”
Gu Juexi’s right arm was injured, so he stretched his left hand out for the handshake.
“I’ve heard about you from Weiwei,” Gu Juexi said, sounding flat and modest.
Mr. Xiao understood that Gu Juexi was being polite and decided not to extend the debate. People like Gu Juexi and them were not in the same league.
After Gu Juexi shook hands with Mr. Xiao, his eyes swept across everyone at the scene and they finally fell on Wen Tao. “In the middle of a marriage proposal?”
Gu Juexi’s short remark caught PA Wen by surprise. His eyes shifted to his parents and his future parents-in-law, and a lightbulb blinked above of PA Wen’s head. The CEO was here to handle and chair the situation for him.
“I do have it planned, it’s just that I haven’t managed to propose it to Uncle and Auntie,” PA Wen continued immediately after Gu Juexi’s remark.
His years of long haul services under the CEO did not come in vain. His CEO was the most brilliant.
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Xiao wanted to interject but they were held back by their respective husbands.
This was Gu Juexi, and not their son and daughter to torment anymore.
Gu Juexi nodded and glanced at Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Xiao. His eyes locked on Mrs. Xiao and asked, “Auntie, is that a no?”
Gu Juexi spoke softly, yet his voice bore a hint of intimidation that was quite scary.
Mrs. Xiao recoiled in surprise and she glared at Mrs. Wen who was looking delighted. She opened her mouth and said arrogantly, “We’d never say no. It is they who think my daughter is no match for their son.”
Mrs. Wen’s face darkened several shades of gray at Mrs. Xiao’s statement.
“Who said that her daughter would only marry my son over her dead body?” Mrs. Wen chided agitatedly.
“Just as you had said your son would marry my daughter over your dead body!”
