Chapter 308 – Mystery Man; Father-In-Law (1)
Along with the voice, a silhouette same out from a corner and it was Gu Junxian!
His appearance made Gu Gaoyi flustered slightly. At that moment in time, he really wish his son had not done that. The Cheng’s were no weaklings anymore; not even he himself, Gu Gaoyi, would dare underestimate them.
Not to mention that he has yet to figure out this Elder Ying of the Cheng’s. From his aura, Gu Gaoyi pegged him as apex martial emperor at the very minimum. He was not someone that the Gu’s could afford to mess with.
But now his son has just….
Thinking of that, Gu Gaoyi couldn’t help but casted a glance at the Cheng’s father and daughter. This was when he noticed that neither one of them were surprised to see Gu Junxian there!
His heart sank with a loud “thump”!
With all eyes were on him, Gu Junxian suddenly felt that he was the center of attention; not to mention that these were all master and expert level cultivators. And they were all looking at him. That really appealed to his vanity. At that very moment, he felt as though he was the most important person.
What he didn’t was that both Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Xiao Xiao had been expecting him to stand up. In fact, they’d be very surprised if he didn’t.
Watching the guy who was approaching her one step at a time, Cheng Xiao Xiao looked nonchalant, as though she didn’t see him at all. He wasn’t worth her time.
The more she seemed at ease Gu Junxian, the more angry he got. He stared at intently with a stone-cold smile.
Old Man Ying frowned and was just about to take some action before Cheng Xiao Xiao hinted for him to stand down.
She wouldn’t let him take any action, nor would she expect her father to take any actions. The reason being that it was Gu Gaoyi who was standing up, but someone junior.
When the attendees saw Gu Junxian, they all exchanged looks with each other. They were quite surprised to see him there, did the two family have bad blood between them now?
Most of those from one of the prominent families have more or less heard about how Cheng Biyuan lost all his cultivation and the Gu’s have not been in touch with them for the past five or six years. As for the betrothal between them, they have heard a little bit about it as well; and they were about to find out whether that was true or not.
Gu Junxian continued to walk toward Cheng Xiao Xiao in his elegant stride with a cold smile on his face. When he was just about five steps away, he stopped.
“Cheng Xiao Xiao, whether your family is broke or rich, I don’t care. Today, in front of everybody, I am calling off our betrothal. From this point forward, there is no longer a tie between us and we are free to marry anyone we want.”
Gu Junxian said loudly as he stood with his back straight in the most righteous tone. In fact, he was so loud that even the entire Willow heard him.
“Oh?” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao. A shallow smile on her fair face and she asked in response, “Who are you? Are you sure you are at the right place? Who’s betrothed to you? Do you mean me? How come I wasn’t aware of it? You have some sort of proof?”
“Yu!” Gu Junxian flustered immediately. His betrothal with Cheng Xiao Xiao was but a casual verbal agreement there were no writing or anything.
In other words, this betrothal could be real, could be not real.
There were no proof of that!
Speechless from Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words, Gu Junxian turned and looked at Cheng Biyuan, “Uncle Cheng, have you forgotten your own words as well?”
