Gu Hongze put on a suit and tied a tie with the help of Xiao Wenjun. He also put on half of a specially made silver mask to cover the scar on half of his face.

Finally, Gu Hongze, dressed in a suit and tie, put on half a mask.

Not only did he lose his former ugliness, but the mask made him look even more mysterious.

The half of his handsome face that was revealed made people imagine what he looked like under the mask.

Not to mention others, even Xiao Wenjun seemed a little dazed!

The tone she spoke to him could not help but become gentler: "Take the initiative to talk to her after you get there, don't be so quiet all the time. You are the boy's father, you should be more proactive and enthusiastic, so that the girl's family will be happy. Although I have seen that girl on TV, I have never met her in person. I heard that she has a bad temper. Generally, girls with bad tempers must have family members who dote on them. So if her family members are in trouble, don't get angry and ruin Mingyu's good fortune."

"I know all this, don't worry. Don't you know my temper? Moreover, even if the other party is deliberately making things difficult for me, it's not something I can handle. With Achen and Amei here, it's not my turn to speak." Gu Hongze replied.

Xiao Wenjun smiled and said, "You are their father, but you speak as if you are a junior and have no right to speak."

"What father? When have they ever considered me as a father? The reason they asked me to go with them is just because they treat me as a mascot. I still have some self-awareness on this point." Gu Hongze said with a wry smile.

Xiao Wenjun showed a distressed expression, hugged him and said, "Hongze, in my heart, you will always be the head of this family and my pillar."

"Actually, they should let you go. How can it work without a female elder?" Gu Hongze said again.

Xiao Wenjun smiled bitterly and said, "Who am I? How can I be qualified to attend such a formal occasion? When you meet them, don't say anything nonsense, lest Mingyu gets angry again. Besides, his mother just passed away. If you mention this matter, I'm afraid he will quarrel with you."

"Yes, his mother just passed away, and he is planning to get married."

Gu Hongze sighed and shook his head, feeling uncomfortable when he thought about this matter.

Xiao Wenjun's eyes flashed, and she gently straightened his clothes and said, "You have been separated for so many years. He has no feelings for his mother, so it is normal for him not to care."

Gu Hongze remained silent.

When the time came, he said goodbye to Xiao Wenjun and left.

Xiao Wenjun watched him get into the car, and only put away the gentle smile on her face after he left.

His expression gradually became gloomy, and he took out his mobile phone and called Avella Xiao.

He snorted and said sarcastically, "Gu Hongze went to discuss the wedding date of Gu Mingyu and Sang Yuwan today. It is estimated that once it is agreed upon, they will get married in no time. Annie, you really have no chance at all."

"Aunt, you called me just to tell me about this?" Xiao Anni asked angrily.

Xiao Wenjun said, "Yes, I'm telling you this. I heard that you've found an old, ugly, perverted man who's not as good as Gu Hongze. I feel really sorry for you. Your youth is wasted like this."

"Aunt, we have the same surname, Xiao, and I am your niece. Don't you feel sorry for me at all? Do you have to rub salt into my wounds?" Xiao Annie asked while choking with sobs.

Xiao Anni snorted coldly.

She wouldn't soften her crocodile tears now.

"It's too late to remember that I'm your aunt now. Xiao Annie, you were the one who abandoned me first. You have to accept the loss. This is your fate."

After speaking, hang up the phone.

On the other side, Xiao Anni was holding the mobile phone with trembling hands. When she heard the busy tone of "beep beep beep" from the phone, her face turned pale with anger.

After a while, he put down his phone and got up from the ground with difficulty.

She had just been tortured by that perverted old man and her life was worse than death!

I heard the phone ring and saw it was my aunt calling.

She thought that she was willing to save her.

Unexpectedly, he came to mock her.

It turns out that no one in this world can be trusted.

The only person you can rely on is yourself.

She won't give up just like that. Why is she living such a miserable life while Sang Yuwan can happily marry Gu Mingyu?

All her misfortunes today were due to Sang Yuwan.

So, she would never let her be so happy!

*********

Gu Hongze came to Gu's house first and went with them.

Gu Mingyu was also at home, but when she saw him she acted as if she didn't see him.

Gu Mingmei poked him and winked at him, asking him to say hello to his father.

Gu Mingyu then reluctantly greeted him: "Good morning."

Gu Mingmei: "..."

He doesn’t even want to call me dad, I really admire him!

"Is this appropriate for me to wear?"

Gu Hongze took the initiative to ask Gu Mingyu.

Gu Mingyu nodded.

Gu Hongze looked at his indifferent expression, sighed softly, and said with emotion: "You are getting married soon, time flies. If your mother were still alive, she would be so happy to know this."

Gu Mingmei frowned. What was wrong with her father?

Why are you bringing up that woman at this time?

"If you don't want to come, you can just say so. There's no need to ruin everyone's mood by mentioning her."

Gu Mingyu is not like Gu Mingmei. Even if she is unhappy, she will not say anything but will speak it out immediately.

Gu Hongze said: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just sighing. Although we are discussing the wedding date today, do you have a specific time in mind? Do you want to wait until your mother is 100 days old before..."

"Why, you're nostalgic now that someone's dead, and you're thinking about her good deeds? Do you want to say these words in front of Xiao Wenjun, so that she knows that you're a sentimental person?"

Gu Mingyu interrupted him coldly and asked sarcastically.

Gu Hongze's face flushed red, and he said angrily: "Mingyu, I know you don't like me, but I'm doing this for your own good. You're holding a wedding before your mother's death is even a hundred days old. You're being treasonous..."

"Dad, please stop talking. Today we are just accompanying Mingyu to meet Miss Sang's parents. It is Mingyu's own business to decide what to do. We just need to accompany her."

Gu Mingmei finally couldn't help but speak and stopped Gu Hongze from speaking any further.

But Gu Hongze was not afraid of her.

He said excitedly: "I am doing this for his own good. As a son, he has responsibilities..."

"When it comes to the word responsibility, father, have you ever thought about what your responsibility is?"

Gu Mingchen came in from outside and asked in a cold voice.

When Gu Hongze saw him, he looked panicked and evasive and closed his mouth.

"Brother, I told you guys not to let him go, but you guys insisted on letting him go. He started to hold us back before he even left. If you really let him go, I don't know how much of a holdup he will make."

As soon as Gu Mingyu saw Gu Mingchen coming back, she complained to him in dissatisfaction.

Gu Mingchen glanced at Gu Hongze and asked, "Is that so?"

"I didn't mean to hold him back. I just reminded him not to forget about his mother." Gu Hongze explained awkwardly.

Gu Mingyu was about to open his mouth to continue complaining.

Gu Mingchen said with a cold face: "You remember his mother's matter, but have you ever thought about who caused such a tragedy? Everyone has the right to remind him, but you alone did not. Especially on his important day, ruining his mood. I can ignore what happened just now, but I hope father can understand what it means to be cautious in words and deeds. Today is very important to Mingyu, and I will be very angry if anyone wants to ruin it. If father really can't control his mouth, you don't have to follow me. I will have someone send you home and pack your luggage to travel abroad."

Gu Hongze: “…”

He doesn't want to go abroad.

If you are really sent abroad, you may never come back.

By staying here, he can also visit his father from time to time.

As long as the old man is alive, he can be protected.

If worst comes to worst, he still has his sister to protect him.

If he is sent abroad, he will be completely controlled and completely lose his freedom and human rights.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Gu Hongze assured sincerely.

Gu Mingchen nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to set off for the hotel.

In addition to the bodyguard's car, they drove three other cars.

Gu Mingchen and his wife Chu Jinchu were in the same car.

Gu Mingmei's family and Gu Mingyu were in the same car.

Gu Hongze looked a little too pitiful and sad sitting alone in a car, but others were unwilling to sit with him.

So, Chu Jinchu winked at his son and asked him to go over and accompany his grandfather.

Gu Mingchen disdained such things, but he also admired his wife's kindness.

After getting in the car, he held Chu Jinchu's hand and said, "You are still as soft-hearted as ever."

People who are soft-hearted will most likely suffer losses.

But fortunately, she met him, and he can protect her throughout her life.

"He is your father after all. If he really gets angry and leaves, and goes to complain to the old man, won't the old man be the one who feels bad in the end? If the old man is unhappy, how can you be happy?"

Chu Jinchu has his own analysis.

Gu Mingchen was very touched.

It turned out that she was thinking more about him.

However, he disliked Gu Hongze's behavior even more in his heart.

If he had any feelings for the three siblings, he would not have failed to think of these things.

On such an important day, it's embarrassing for Mingyu!

"Do you think I was wrong and shouldn't have let him go?"

Gu Mingchen doubted whether he had made the wrong decision.

Chu Jinchu comforted him and said, "You did the right thing. So many elders from the Yang family are here. It would be too embarrassing if none of our elders went. So, he must show up today."

Gu Mingchen nodded, held her hand in return, and interlocked their fingers.

However, they had problems here, and the Yang family was not much better off.

Early in the morning, Yang Shengyu and Sang Yuwan started arguing again about what to wear.

"Change your clothes. For such an important occasion, you should dress more formally. This dress you wear... is so inappropriate. The neckline is so open. It's not solemn at all."

Sang Yuwan was speechless.

She was afraid that her father would find fault with her clothes, so she deliberately chose a long skirt with half sleeves.

She hadn't dressed so conservatively in years, and he actually said she was disrespectful?

"Excuse me, Professor Yang, is it dignified if I cover myself up completely and only show my eyes?"
