Jing Wenhong was speechless. They did tell He Xun about it, and He Xun had refused outright.

Originally, they were planning to confirm the engagement between the He and Gu families today, leaving He Xun no chance to object.

But she never expected that He Xun would disregard his reputation and his grandfather's face and refuse so decisively.

"Nonsense!" He Xun's father He Taiping said to He Xun in a stern voice, "There are so many guests here today. You are so disrespectful to our two families. Do you want to make our He family a laughing stock in the capital?"

"I think you have too much power to care about anything."

"Today's engagement with the Gu family, you have to accept it whether you want to or not, otherwise..."

He Xun just looked at his father calmly, without any fluctuation in his indifferent eyes.

He Taiping said "otherwise" twice, and seeing that He Xun didn't continue the conversation, he couldn't hold on any longer.

What can he do to He Xun?

Even though he is He Xun's father, the He family now belongs to He Xun.

The relationship between them, father and son, is just a matter of interest.

What can he use to threaten He Xun?

"Father..." He Xun remained calm and indifferent: "It seems that I am usually too good-tempered, which makes you feel that you can control me."

"In that case, I don't mind letting you feel my skills."

For some reason, He Taiping actually sensed a dangerous aura like a lion from He Xun, who showed no emotional ups and downs.

"What are you going to do?" He Taiping's voice was a little unstable: "I am your father!"

No one knows his son's abilities and methods better than He Taiping.

When the old man passed away, the He family fell apart. They fought with each other and no one was willing to give in.

He Xun, who had been like an invisible man, suddenly appeared and attacked them just when they were both injured in the fight.

Everyone was stunned at that time.

He Xun used both firmness and flexibility to quickly stabilize the situation and put the He family back on track.

He also used to be proud of his status as He Xun's father, thinking that he would let He Xun solve all the problems and then reap the benefits and take over He's company.

But later he realized how naive he was.

He Xun is truly a wolf cub who doesn't recognize his relatives.

After he hit He Xun several times, He Xun took action.

The assets under his name continued to run into problems, and the women and illegitimate children outside also continued to get into trouble.

He even went out with his mistress and illegitimate child, and the car had problems and he almost died on the road.

He Xun warned him that if he dared to put his hand in front of him and point fingers at him again, this small lesson would not be enough to solve the problem.

At that moment, facing He Xun, He Taiping truly felt the danger of being on the verge of death.

He finally understood that He Xun could really make him lose everything, even die!

He Taiping was scared and never dared to act rashly again.

He Taiping was actually very unwilling to accept this. When the old man was alive, he was oppressed by him.

When his grandfather passed away, he fully expected that he would be able to "succeed to the throne", but his son suddenly emerged and directly "proclaimed himself emperor" bypassing him.

It turns out that his role is to connect the past and the future, and the "throne" has nothing to do with him. How can he be willing to accept this?

Since the Jing family was willing to step forward this time, he was naturally happy to add fuel to the fire.

But he didn't expect that the fire would burn himself.

"Mr. He, do you want to give me and our Gu family an explanation?"

Gu Yan's questioning rescued He Taiping from his dilemma, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He Xun looked back at the angry Gu Yan, still without any emotion: "It seems that this matter is not what I meant, and I have never made any promises to Miss Gu and the Gu family."

"I cannot take responsibility for what Miss Gu said."

Whoever is responsible should be contacted. The Gu family will not give him any explanation.

Gu Yan's face looked grim, unable to refute.

At the beginning, the people who had contact with her were He Xun's mother and the Jing family. With He Xun's parents and his maternal family as guarantors, who would have thought that He Xun had no intention of marrying into the Gu family?

"Grandpa Jing..." Gu Yan's parents had made such a fool of themselves that they had almost become the laughing stock of the entire upper class circle. How could they let it go so easily?

"Are you going too far?"

The Jing family felt guilty and had to apologize continuously. Even Old Master Jing, who always had the final say in the Jing family, bent down humbly.

He repeatedly assured the Gu family that the matter would be properly handled, and only then did the Gu family calm down a little.

The fact that the Jing family chose the Gu family as their marriage partner shows that the Gu family’s strength should not be underestimated. If the Jing family does not want to get into trouble, they dare not fall out with the Gu family.

"He Xun, are you going to disobey your grandfather and your parents?" Facing He Xun, Old Master Jing not only put on the airs of an elder again, but also used a coercive momentum: "Your actions are disobedient and unfilial, and they will not do any good to your reputation."

"So what Grandpa Jing means is that the marriage of me, the head of the He family, has to be decided by your Jing family so that my reputation will not be damaged?"

This is almost like saying it directly: you, the Jing family, are so self-righteous that you are overreaching.

Old Master Jing's face was shaking, he didn't dare to respond.

The person in charge of the He family represents the entire He family. Even if he has this idea, he cannot admit that he wants to step in and become the master of the He family.

"Grandpa admits that what he did was inappropriate." Old Master Jing slowed down his tone and said, "Grandpa chose Miss Gu because she was both beautiful and noble, and she was the best match for you."

"Since things have developed to this point, for the sake of our three families' reputations, why don't you give in?"

"If you marry Miss Gu, our three families, Jing, He, and Gu, will be united as one."

What Old Master Jing didn't say was that if the two powerful nations join forces, this capital city, and even China, will become their world.

"If you insist on doing what you want, you won't just offend the Gu family." But also the Jing family.

"No matter how powerful the He family is, it won't be easy, right?" This is a threat.

If they agree, everyone will be happy; if they disagree, the He family will face suppression from the Jing and Gu families.

He Xun gave a cold smile: "Grandpa, you are old now, so it's better to worry less."

"I, He Xun, am never afraid of challenges."

"If Grandpa wants to try it, I welcome you very much."

"You..." Seeing that He Xun refused to listen and even opposed him in public, Old Master Jing was so angry that he gasped for breath.

Jing Wenhong hurriedly supported the shaky old man Jing again. She faced He Xun with a cold face and threatened him: "He Xun, you are making such a fuss, have you ever considered the woman you keep outside?"

As she spoke, her vague gaze fell on Sui Yi.

One year old...Does this count as being shot even while lying down?

"We can't do anything to you, but she's a powerless little girl, so it's easy for something to happen to her."
