Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 918: Chapter 917: When Did My Husband Get a Fiancée?

Different issues require different solutions.

This kind of trivial family squabble is Gu Tong’s most adept battlefield.

Gu Tong gave a light laugh and said calmly, ”Dear reporters, how intriguing, when did my husband get a fiancée? How come I didn’t know?”

A question was thrown out; all the reporters nearly exploded, saying, ”The engagement between the Lin Family Miss and the Li Family Eldest Young Master is known to everyone — doesn’t that mean he has a fiancée?”

At this time, trying to reverse right and wrong or forcefully clear one’s name is absolutely impossible, after all, so many pairs of eyes are watching; how can such a thing be allowed to happen?

With a smile on her lips, Gu Tong covered her mouth and said, ”A fiancée? Who arranged that?”

Reporter C took advantage of the chaos, saying, ”Old Master Li arranged an engagement for the Eldest Young Master long ago and appointed Madam Gong to handle it, announcing several times that they were waiting for the Eldest Young Master to come back for the wedding. Now the person has returned but married someone else, isn’t that unfair to Miss Lin.”

Truly they are people hired by Gong Qingwan; if there’s trouble, it must be big and chaotic, otherwise, there’s no point in the commotion.

Gu Tong remained dignified, standing in place with piercing eyes, staring directly at him, saying, ”That’s right, Miss Lin was arranged by the second lady of the Li Family, while I was arranged by Old Master Li. But then again, marriage is a mutual thing; anyone forcing an arrangement is not allowed by law. It doesn’t matter who arranged it; it only counts if Li Yan and I decide. As for the rest, I suggest that you go talk to whoever announced it, as it has nothing to do with us.”

Her words stunned everyone, as no one expected Gu Tong to use such a tactic.

If according to her, this engagement indeed has differences between Old Master Li and Madam Gong, merely following one’s decision is illegal.

She really pushed the matter away cleanly...

Of course, the most shocked were the people of the large families.

Initially, they thought Gu Tong wouldn’t offend Gong Qingwan and would certainly support Madam Gong, but unexpectedly, she showed no courtesy, even calling her ’second lady,’ completely giving no respect, and there’s a sense of confrontation.

Truly a young calf unafraid of the tiger...

Daring to directly attack Gong Qingwan without a shred of fear.

The reporters were stifled by Gu Tong’s words, originally thinking she was easy to deal with, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be the most difficult.

As they hesitated, Gu Tong had already pulled Li Yan away, not even giving much chance for photographs.

After walking a few steps, Li Yan calmly said, ”Later, I’ll arrange for someone to have a word with the reporters.”

After all, they are trainees, and it’s inappropriate to appear in such publications, which isn’t convenient for future missions.

Moreover, it could serve as a reminder to tell the reporters what can be written and what cannot, a clever move indeed.

Gu Tong gave a slight laugh, agreeing to this proposal, clearly not wanting to be too showy, and feeling it inappropriate for her status.

While talking, they went upstairs and into the Zhao Family banquet, treating the earlier incident as a meaningless interlude.

...

The banquet hall was full of guests.

All were from wealthy and prestigious families, quite renowned.

Entering Shoucheng for the first time, they were not familiar with anyone here.

Li Yan and Gu Tong had just entered the banquet hall and already drew countless eyes.

However, they were not reserved, responding casually, appearing particularly relaxed.

Yet, even if they didn’t care, due to the earlier incident outside, its widespread reach and loud noise made it known to everyone.
