The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Meanwhile…

Gu Jingze started dividing the Gu family’s businesses. He instructed people in the headquarters of the Gu Industries to tidy up and take away the items belonging to the direct descendants of the Gu family.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. She stood behind him and silently gazed at him.

He directed them in an orderly manner, standing there like a king.

She herself had sat in that position before. She knew that it was definitely no exaggeration to say that someone in that position had to attend to hundreds of important matters every day.

Although someone in that position would be busy and have major responsibilities, it was bound to bring that person a sense of glory.

Gu Jingze was born with the innate ability to deal with so many matters and to properly manage such a massive business.

He had a sense of responsibility to do this as well. From a young age, it had been decided that he would be the head of the Gu family.

However, he was about to leave this family now.

Lin Che’s heart ached a little for him. She also felt reluctant on his behalf.

He should be the king standing right here. How terrible would he feel if he just left like this?

Lin Che looked at him. “Gu Jingze.”

He looked up and smiled at Lin Che. “What’s the matter?”

Lin Che stood up and walked towards him. Then, she placed her hands on him. “Are you sure about this? You’re leaving the Gu family… your position as the head of the family…”

“If I’m no longer the head of the Gu family, will you still stay with me?” He pulled her hands to his lips and gently kissed them.

Lin Che said, “Of course I will. Do you think I’m with you because you’re the head of the family?”

Gu Jingze smiled. “So, nothing will happen even if I leave the Gu family. It’s fine for me to leave the Gu family. It’s alright.”

Lin Che said, “I just don’t want you to regret it in the future.”

“As long as you’re by my side, I won’t regret it.” He smiled and looked at her.

Lin Che hugged him. “Whether or not you’re the head of the Gu family, in my heart, you’ll always be the strongest person I know. You’re capable of doing anything. In this world, there will never be another man more amazing than you are.”

She looked at him. “Even if you’re no longer the ruler of this world, you’re still the king in my heart.”

Gu Jingze looked at her, smiled, and patted her shoulder.

Lin Che said, “Alright. Do you need me to do anything?”

Gu Jingze said, “I need you to properly play the role of my wife. Lin Che, I’ve been thinking. Now that I’ve left the Gu family, there won’t be so many things to deal with anymore. I hope that we can finally hold our wedding.”

Lin Che froze.

This, this was so long overdue.

Their second child, Shiyuan, was already two years old. Why were they holding a wedding?

Gu Jingze said, “I’ve always said that I wanted to give you a proper wedding. But we’ve never had the chance. Now that the opportunity has arisen, we have plenty of time to plan our own wedding. I hope I can give you a wedding. The wedding I’ll give you won’t be the wedding of the head of the Gu family as in the past. This wedding will just be a wedding between you and me.”

Lin Che’s heart warmed. She looked at Gu Jingze, feeling very touched at the fact that he was still thinking about this matter now.

Blushing, she said, “Do whatever you want to do.”

He kissed her on the forehead. “I want to give you a wedding you won’t forget for a lifetime. I will plan this wedding carefully. You can just rest at ease and be the bride.”

The two of them were locked in an embrace as they leaned against each other. They did not know how much time had passed when he then continued asking people to arrange the documents.

The news that Gu Jingze was going to leave the Gu family for good and had resigned from his position as the head of the family, was making its rounds to a limited extent in their circle.

But the Gu family had deliberately cut off this information. Thus, most people were still unaware of it.

The Gu family was still in an internal mess at the moment. The family had been split into two factions. One faction was of the view that they had to persuade Gu Jingze to return. The other faction hoped to select another Master.

Because although the Gu family was one entity that shared honor and shame, each family had always operated its own business. However, in principle, they had to be in line with the entire Gu family. They had to move at the same pace as everyone too.

Therefore, even if Gu Jingze suddenly resigned from his position as the head of the family, nothing much would go wrong either if the Gu family had no leader.

After Gu Jingze took away the businesses of the direct descendants, the Gu family did seem a bit weaker. However, a lean camel was ultimately bigger than a horse. The Gu family was nevertheless the most powerful family in the whole of C Nation.

When the entire family was having a meeting and brought up the issue of the Master’s position, someone said, “Jingze has been rash this time. He’s nothing if he leaves the Gu family. In the past, he could summon the wind and the rain in C Nation. Once he leaves the Gu family, he’ll be left with nothing. He will be nothing. After thinking about it carefully, he won’t leave so easily either. I think he’ll return.”

“Exactly. He can’t be thinking that our family can’t function without him, right? If that’s the case, then he thinks too highly of himself. Is he waiting for us to beg him to come back? That’s impossible. On the contrary, if he wants to come back now, he has to seek approval from all of us.”

Hearing this, the people from the opposing faction felt even more scornful of them inside. They spoke as if Gu Jingze would starve to death if he was alone outside.

At the moment, everyone sat together to nominate someone who could temporarily fulfill the role.

Among them, many of the clan relatives nominated Xue Mengqi.

After all, Xue Mengqi was basically their representative at this point.

On top of that, the Xue Family had given them many benefits in private as well.

Thus, Xue Mengqi was probably the person with the greatest support among them.

But at the same time, because there was some disagreement from the families which wanted Gu Jingze to return, no action was taken.

All of the matters handled by the headquarters had now been handed over to the families to deal with jointly. The situation was slightly messy.

Xue Mengqi was also among these families and was handling these matters in the headquarters.

She looked at the office in the headquarters.

From outside, the office did not in fact look that eye-catching. But its interior resembled an underground palace.

She looked at it. She wondered if a sense of grandeur emanated from every corner of this place because it symbolized the highest power of the entire Gu family.

As she looked at it, she could not help but be fascinated.

Especially when she thought about how Gu Jingze had sat on this exact office chair in the past while commanding all his horses and men. So many people of the Gu family had rushed about at his instruction.

She genuinely yearned to be the same.

It seemed that she was itching to rise to that position and to make all the people of the Gu family bow before her.

She truly felt addicted to the feeling of being a king.

In the future, was her name going to make its rounds in the business world, just as Gu Jingze’s name had?

Was her name going to strike fear in the hearts of many people too?

And were people going to say that she was vicious and merciless, yet have no choice but to submit to her power?

When she thought how this had been the case for Gu Jingze, she felt that it would definitely be the same for her once she was in that position.
