Upon meeting Su Maiqi in person, Xiao Mohan was not so surprised.

This woman is beautiful enough, with captivating eyes, yet her other features also give her an indescribable air of elegance.

It's clear that he has a forthright personality and is quite easy to get along with.

He was said to come from a poor family, but he didn't have that petty air about him. He spoke with grace and confidence, and he was also very thoughtful.

The important thing is that he has a very calm aura, steady and unperturbed.

Xiao Mohan actually thought that he and Gu Tingyu were quite a good match.

He never gave a second glance to those flamboyant, chattering rich girls.

To Xiao Mohan's surprise, when Gu Tingyu saw him off after dinner, he told him that Su Maiqi was just his "contract wife".

Aunt Shen Wanjun and Uncle Gu Tianyu have always been suspicious of him, especially since his grandfather invested in him and started managing Chenxing, their suspicions have only intensified.

They worried that their grandfather wanted to groom Gu Tingyu as the successor of the Gu family business.

Therefore, he arranged for his niece, Shen Qingge, to marry him. On one hand, he wanted to use Shen Qingge's influence to facilitate cooperation between the Shen family and the Gu family.

Although Shen's Jewelry and Chenxing are now competitors, there is a lot of room for cooperation between other companies under Shen's Group and some of the Gu's Group companies managed by Gu Tianyu.

Shen Wanjun and her younger brother Shen Zejun have never had a good relationship. Since Shen Zejun took over the Shen family business, he has not been very receptive to the olive branches extended by the Gu family.

Shen Qingge was quite close to this aunt.

It was an open secret that Shen Qingge liked Gu Tingyu.

When Shen Qingge was seven or eight years old, she came to the Gu family to play. When she first met Gu Tingyu, she said that she wanted to marry this older brother when she grew up.

The adults all laughed, thinking it was just a child's joke. They even found it cute.

Who would have thought that, as they get older, this joke would become more and more true?

When Shen Qingge looks at Gu Tingyu, her face turns red; she takes the initiative to knit a scarf for Gu Tingyu, and whenever they have a chance to meet, her gaze follows Gu Tingyu the whole time.

Gu Tingyu's attitude was indifferent; he did not respond and even deliberately avoided suspicion.

But the seed planted in my heart when I was seven years old slowly sprouted, grew wildly, and became an obsession.

No matter how cold Gu Tingyu was, Shen Qingge never changed her mind.

She has never been in a relationship, is in her early twenties, and is of marriageable age. She never responds to blind dates arranged by family and friends.

Shen Wanjun had a plan: to use the old man's influence to help Shen Qingge marry into the Shen family. Shen Qingge was very favored at home, and if she succeeded, she could speak on her aunt's behalf to her father.

Shen Zejun dotes on this daughter the most, so perhaps there will be new developments in the cooperation with Shen's Enterprise.

Most importantly, Shen Qingge is a love-struck person and very naive. If you coax her a little, you can probably get a lot of information about Gu Tingyu.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

How could Gu Tingyu not understand her thoughts?

However, Gu Tingyu couldn't directly refuse Shen Wanjun's advances towards his grandfather, nor did he want to make his conflict with his uncle's family public.

That's why they came up with the idea of ​​a "contractual marriage," which not only stopped Shen Qingge but also quieted down the other eager young ladies and matchmakers.

He has no interest in dating or marriage right now.

My biggest goal in life is to help my father reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to them and to empower myself to decide my own destiny.

At that time, he wants to marry a young wife like "Tangtang," a wife who will make people feel affection for her at first sight.

Cherish her, love her, have children, and live a simple and happy life.

Now, all his energy must be focused on this tough battle, preparing for success and not allowing himself to fail.

Therefore, finding a "contract wife" is the simplest and most efficient way.

And you won't be distracted by emotions.

Apart from Mo Yan, Gu Tingyu has not told anyone about these things.

But his senior brother wasn't an outsider, so he could trust him. Besides, he might need Xiao Mohan's help in the crucial moments to come.

Let's be frank and straightforward. That will make things easier to handle afterwards.

At crucial moments, we may need Xiao Mohan's assistance.

After explaining the basic situation, Gu Tingyu looked at Xiao Mohan and smiled: "Since even you didn't see the flaw, it means we acted quite well, so I can rest assured."

Xiao Mohan remained silent, looking at Gu Tingyu with a half-smile, his expression meaningful.

Gu Tingyu felt uneasy watching this and couldn't help but punch him on the shoulder: "What's going on, brother? Just say what you want to say."

This fist is a ritual between the brothers, and a testament to their intimacy. Back when they were with Xiao Daye, the two of them and Haiyang often played around like this together.

Xiao Mohan glanced at Gu Tingyu again before saying slowly, "I'm afraid you might be deceiving yourself, not us."

I think Miss Su is quite nice; you two would be a good match.

He couldn't explain why, but he just had a feeling that Su Maiqi was his second brother's soulmate; his second brother's behavior wasn't actually acting as he claimed.

Perhaps those involved are blinded by their own perspective?

Gu Tingyu was stunned for a moment, as if some hidden part of his heart had been touched, and a faint unease appeared, only to disappear again in an instant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We signed a three-year contract."

Xiao Mohan smiled and said nothing more. Time is the best test, and he believed that it wouldn't take three years for Gu Tingyu to be so stubborn.

Let's wait and see what happens.

Shen Qingge was also trying on her dress with her best friend. It was a light blue dress with a fishtail hem, which accentuated her figure.

The young girl, with her bright eyes and white teeth, shone brightly, adorned with a sapphire necklace.

Shen Qingge was very satisfied. Her best friend, Ye Qingyu, couldn't help but exclaim, "Qingge, you're so beautiful! Do you think Gu Tingyu is blind? Is he really married?"

Shen Qingge's eyes darkened, and she said slowly, "My aunt said that he told Grandpa that they had already gotten their marriage certificate. But she also felt that the two of them didn't seem really married, and I don't believe he's really married either."

"Besides, that girl comes from a poor family, and I've never heard of the two of them dating. How could they suddenly get married?"

Ye Qingyu considered for a moment before saying, "Then, Qingge, do you still have a chance?"

Shen Qingge said as if she had made up her mind, "Yes, I will seize this opportunity!"

"Tomorrow is my brother's birthday. Gu Tingyu will be coming, and his newlywed wife will probably be there too. Qingyu, you have to help me."

How can we help?

“If we make a scene and cause a scene, Gu Tingyu can’t possibly not give the Shen family an explanation, right? If there’s another child, then Grandpa Gu will probably have to step in to protect that child.”

"Even if they really did get their marriage certificate, they haven't made it public yet. The Gu family is rich; they can easily deal with that woman by spending some money."

The two whispered to each other for a while before finally falling asleep.

As Shen Qingge drifted off to sleep, she was still thinking, "Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow."
