Chapter 233: Chapter 211 "Okay
A word from Qiao Yuxian. The temperature in the entire private room dropped a few degrees.
She looked at Gu Yanjing, observing his reaction.
Gu Yanjing also watched her, noticing her cold demeanor, as if she was ready to confront Gu Group.
"All management rights to Ghost Street. Not a penny less," Qiao Yuxian continued, "Mr. Gu, shall we continue talking?"
Gu Yanjing looked at this truly angry young woman.
Even with the marriage certificate.
Even though the two had a great relationship.
But this little girl seemed to never trust him.
She pushed him to the opposing side in any situation.
Always doubting that he would stand by her side.
Gu Yanjing silently sighed and said, "Alright."
Qiao Yuxian waited for him to say it was impossible and see Yunzhong Building go against Gu Group.
Suddenly, she heard the words "Alright."
Her indifferent expression froze, then she frowned slightly and bewilderedly looked at Gu Yanjing, saying, "Ah?"
Lin Huai Shu looked at Gu Yanjing.
Chu Zhengran chuckled from the side.
Shang Chen and Su Qi showed no reaction; after all, whoever it belongs to, it’s all part of the family.
Wen Mingcheng, who was always ready to have people start a fight from the side, was dumbfounded. He looked at Gu Yanjing and said, louder than Qiao Yuxian, "Ah???"
No one paid attention to him.
Qiao Yuxian blankly stared at Gu Yanjing.
She thought she had been through a lot, seen big scenes.
But she’d never encountered something like this.
What is this?
What does "Alright" mean?
What does "alright" imply?
Wasn’t she just asking for all management rights to Ghost Street? Did she say it wrong out of anger?
Or did Gu Yanjing not understand?
Or did she hear it wrong?
"I..."
She had just made a sound when Gu Yanjing said, "Yes. All management rights to Ghost Street are yours."
Qiao Yuxian remained motionless, staring at him.
Gu Yanjing looked at her and added, "It’s yours personally, not Yunzhong Building’s."
Qiao Yuxian remained motionless. Only her eyes blinked gently, leaving no other reaction.
Gu Yanjing glanced at her and then looked towards Wen Mingcheng.
Wen Mingcheng, seeing him look over, immediately returned to his senses, paused, and said, "I fully agree it’s hers personally. It’s just..."
He looked toward Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu.
Gu Family, Chu Family, and Lin Family—these three are a unit.
If the Gu Family acquires management rights to Ghost Street, then the Chu Family and Lin Family would certainly have their share.
Although in the end, Gu Yanjing would definitely take the biggest portion.
After all, Ghost Street was fought over by Gu Yanjing.
Yet the opinions of these two are also very important.
Lin Huai Shu said, "Why are you looking at me? Ghost Street has nothing to do with me."
Chu Zhengran said warmly, "Consider my share a wedding gift for Miss Qiao."
Lin Huai Shu reacted and hurriedly said, "Mine too, mine too."
Qiao Yuxian finally reacted.
What Gu Yanjing wanted was to fight her, wanted to fight Yunzhong Building.
This guy was just teasing her.
Deliberately pushing her to ask for Ghost Street.
Qiao Yuxian was no longer sad that he wanted to fight her, nor angry. Now, she was mad that he was teasing her.
She glared at Gu Yanjing across the table and then said, "I don’t want it!"
"Why not?" Wen Mingcheng asked.
"Why should I want it?" Qiao Yuxian looked at Wen Mingcheng and said.
"A betrothal gift," Gu Yanjing said calmly.
Qiao Yuxian looked back at Gu Yanjing, slightly puzzled, but her eyebrows were almost raised.
"Consider it part of the betrothal gift," Gu Yanjing looked at her small expression.
Wen Mingcheng looked at Gu Yanjing, feeling more satisfied with this guy than he appeared.
Right now, it seems okay.
Maybe he could be a boyfriend first; see how it goes.
With a little more relief in his heart, Wen Mingcheng picked up his wine glass and took a sip contentedly.
As the wine entered his throat, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
What does "part of the betrothal gift" mean?!
And earlier, what did Chu Zhengran say? What was said?!
What does "part of the wedding gift" mean?!
What does "part" mean?!
Wen Mingcheng slammed the wine glass down with a bang, stood up, and looked at Qiao Yuxian, saying, "Girl, don’t tell me you’re married!"
Qiao Yuxian first looked at the glass shattered with a bang on the table.
The red wine slowly flowed down the table.
Then she looked at Wen Mingcheng’s delicate eyebrows and eyes, nodded, and frankly said, "Yes. I’m married."
Upon hearing her answer, Wen Mingcheng staggered backward and hastily grabbed onto the chair.
He glared at her and after a while finally said, "Qiao Yuxian! You... you, how could you marry yourself off? When did this happen? How can you be so bold! You..."
Gu Yanjing watched his excited expression.
Both Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu, people who had dealt with Wen Mingcheng before, were seeing him agitated and terrified for the first time.
Agitated and terrified to the point of losing his usual image and demeanor.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him without speaking.
Wen Mingcheng asked, "How long have you been married?"
"Last August," Qiao Yuxian said.
When she had told him not to interfere with Ghost Street’s matters, Wen Mingcheng had sensed something was amiss.
Such a great chance to seize territory, and she didn’t want to act.
There must be something strange about it.
It took Wen Mingcheng three days to pry some information from her.
He realized there was something between her and Gu Yanjing.
That’s why he came today to see how this Gu Yanjing treated the girl from his family. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly...
"You’re too bold," Wen Mingcheng said to her, "how will I explain it when I return? Have you even thought about..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Yuxian’s cold, warning eyes.
Wen Mingcheng immediately fell silent, paused, and glanced at Gu Yanjing and the others.
Gu Yanjing kept his gaze on them.
Qiao Yuxian also glanced at Gu Yanjing and then said to Wen Mingcheng, "I decide my own matters of marriage, no need to explain to anyone."
Wen Mingcheng’s lips moved slightly but the words stayed in his throat; finally, he said nothing.
His expression was serious, still faintly worried.
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Chu Zhengran gently tapped the wine glass in front of him.
He felt that Gu Yanjing might face challenges in this marriage.
Both sides fell silent for a moment, and then the waiter knocked and entered to serve hot drinks.
Only one hot drink was ordered, and since Qiao Yuxian was the only woman in the room, the waiter guessed it might be for her. But he was also afraid it wasn’t.
He didn’t dare make assumptions and placed the hot drink on the table’s carousel, then left.
After he left, Gu Yanjing turned the hot drink toward Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at the hot drink on the table and then looked at Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing said, "Have a sip."
Qiao Yuxian took it from the carousel and said, "I wasn’t the one who ate the ice cream earlier."
Gu Yanjing’s eyebrows moved slightly.
Qiao Yuxian added softly, "Anyway, it wasn’t me who ate it."
Wen Mingcheng was still worrying, but hearing her speak, he looked at her and asked, "If it wasn’t you, then who ate it?"
"Since it was with you, of course, you ate it," Qiao Yuxian muttered softly.
Wen Mingcheng said, "I........"
