I simply stopped pretending to be a warlord.

He straightened his back slowly and snorted.

It can be seen that he was very dissatisfied with Gu Huaijin. At the following banquet, they did not continue this topic so tactlessly.

Just by looking at their expressions, you can tell that they haven't given up. I'm afraid they are still planning something in their minds.

After the banquet, the role these guests can play in the Gu family is very limited.

They did not achieve their goal and had to resort to other options.

Of course, they cannot offend these people. After all, they are all prominent families in Lucheng.

So they were very politely invited to another banquet hall and started a new style dinner, while most of the Gu family stayed in the banquet hall to accompany the guests.

Only Governor Gu and his third son, Mrs. Gu's second son Gu Yan, were there, and they very rudely asked Gu Huaijin and Ji Chutang to move to another place.

Passing through the long corridor, flower hall, and courtyard, I followed them to the back of the Gu family villa, where there was a small Western-style house.

As soon as he entered, Ji Chutang immediately knew what their plan was.

He couldn't help but sneer.

There were a few people sitting inside. They looked uneasy, but when they saw a few people come in, their eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at Governor Gu and Gu Yan very flatteringly.

But he ignored Gu Huaijin and Ji Chutang.

This is normal. They are not from Lucheng, so how could they know the two of them?

Aunt Ji glanced at Ji Chutang. She was very beautiful, so beautiful that it reminded her of someone who had been dead for a long time.

Looking at Ji Chutang, she felt that he looked very familiar.

But Ji Chutang's aura made her dare not say much. She just felt that all beauties looked alike.

Ji Chutang looked like a socialite, so she didn't dare to look at her for too long. When she met Ji Chutang's cold eyes, she immediately withdrew her gaze.

Uncle Ji smiled at the governor flatteringly and said, "Governor, you are really a great benefactor to our family. If you want us to come here for something, just tell us. I, Ji Fuqing, will do my duty and sacrifice my life for you."

Governor Gu felt comfortable with this flattery, and the words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.

If Ji Chutang didn't know what kind of person he was at heart, he would have believed him.

Ji Fuqing didn't really mean what he said, but he was willing to praise Governor Gu in this way.

Originally, Governor Gu was a big shot that he would never see in his entire life.

Suddenly one day, a man who claimed to be the commander-in-chief's subordinate came to their family. The man was wearing a military uniform and had a gun on his waist. They immediately believed him.

I'm just curious. The Gu family is a wealthy family far away in Lu City. Why would Governor Gu look for them? They just have a little money in a small country town, which is nothing in Lu City.

How can I get close to the Gu family?

But the fact is that the governor specifically asked to see their entire family.

And not only them, all the close relatives of the Ji family were brought to Lucheng.

But their family is the most valued.

Their son Ji Xiao was also arranged by the governor to join the army and became an officer of moderate importance.

This is a great thing for them.

They also arranged an apartment for them in Lucheng.

Originally they had no idea why the governor did this, but the governor rebuked them, saying that someone from their Ji family had gotten involved with the governor's rebellious son.

Now he doesn't listen to his family. I hope they can persuade the people from the Ji family.

Although they didn't know who it was, they agreed without hesitation.

Governor Gu did not respond to Ji Fuqing's words, but glanced at Ji Chutang with a slanted eye, and said in a condescending tone: "Miss Ji, these people look familiar, right? Your uncle has found them for you. Relatives, please recognize each other properly, but you don't have to be too grateful to me."

"Since you have relatives, it's not good for you to follow my son all the time, don't you think?"

These words made Ji Chutang feel sick.

When everyone in the Ji family heard this, they were even more shocked and turned to look at Ji Chutang. After seeing this, their original hesitation, uncertainty and some suspicion suddenly became a reality.

With Governor Gu's words, I was even more certain.

Look at that charming face, it is exactly the same as her mother who died early, and her eyebrows and eyes are even more similar to her brother.

This is the little bastard that escaped.

They had already found a good family for her.

Having money, they just lived a good life. They also received a lot of betrothal gifts. However, they didn't know that this damn girl was so ungrateful that she actually ran away.

They not only lost the wife but also the army. Not only did they have to give up all the betrothal money, but they also became enemies with that family.

This world is in chaos, and if she died outside, she would have deserved it. But who would have thought that she would have hooked up with the commander-in-chief's son.

Fortunately, the governor does not recognize her identity.

Otherwise, if this heartless little beast wants to take revenge on them in the future, they will be in even more trouble.

After knowing it was Ji Chutang, Aunt Ji was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning. Instead, she glared at Ji Chutang fiercely and cursed at him.

He also wanted to go forward and pull Ji Chutang.

Second Uncle Ji, Ji Fuqing, also watched coldly. He didn't like this niece at all. Not only had her father always been superior to him, but even his daughter was prettier and more promising than his daughter.

Moreover, the little bastard who caused him to lose a lot of money and face, and whose parents had all died, should be grateful to him for being willing to plan for her. But he dared to run away and hook up with a rich man outside, but he didn't even go back to repay his second uncle.

Such a heartless person would be better off being beaten to death, and the governor obviously disliked her, so this just happened to please the governor and she could repay him a little.

Before Aunt Ji could get close, Gu Huaijin kicked her away. She collapsed on the ground like a dead pig, crying out in pain.

This sudden change shocked Ji Fuqing.

I didn't expect that Young Marshal Gu would protect this dead girl so much.

He glanced at Governor Gu's face, which was gloomy and looked very ugly.

In this world, it is impossible for a son to disobey his father. Filial piety is more important than anything else. It is impossible for Young Marshal Gu to disobey the governor for this dead girl.

Impossible, Ji Fuqing thought to himself.

But when he saw his woman lying in the distance, he couldn't help but soften the vicious expression on his face.

He just smiled awkwardly: "Chu Tang, Second Uncle misses you so much. When you left, our whole family was so sad and worried. Now that I know you are okay, Second Uncle's heart is much more at ease. Otherwise, how will I face your parents when I die in the future?"

Ji Fuqing attempted to play the emotional card.

However, Ji Chutang was unmoved. Gu Huaijin said coldly: "How dare you, a nobody, come and get close to my sister."

This made Ji Fuqing very embarrassed.

But thinking of the task assigned to him by Governor Gu, he had no choice but to go ahead and do it.

He could only hesitate and consider his words: "Chu Tang, it is not a good idea for you to follow Young Marshal Gu without any status. After all, our Ji family is also a decent family. Go home with Second Uncle, and Second Uncle will definitely find you a good family of equal status in the future."

"Don't bother Young Marshal Gu, and people should know their own limitations. Our Ji family is a small family, so don't have any delusions."

These words were very harsh to Gu Huaijin's ears, especially when he heard that Ji Fuqing wanted to marry Ji Chutang to someone else, he became even more angry.

He, Gu Huaijin, raised someone so well that it would be a shame for someone else to arrange a marriage for her.

No one is worthy of his little girl. If he wants to find one, he wants to find someone who is good in every way and he will personally screen her.

Otherwise, no other boy would dare to covet his girl.

He had to make people become dead boys, and then left them alone for a few days to become stinky boys.
