Chapter 1020: Chapter 1016: Temporarily Shelved

Old Master Gu glanced at him, ignored him, and continued, "Originally, I wanted to have double happiness, but it seems there is some unpleasantness now, so let’s postpone this engagement for now! I’ll choose an auspicious day in the future for your engagement!"

Even though Old Master Gu had just gotten involved, he was fully aware of everything happening there.

He knew that Gu Honghu and Gu Xuanyu were troubled by Elder Wang’s words, not knowing what to do.

That’s why he mentioned postponing it temporarily, to relieve their embarrassment while preserving the Gu Family’s dignity.

Otherwise, being rejected in front of the entire province would make them a laughingstock!

Gu Xuanyu, though reluctant, realized that this matter concerned the family’s dignity and he couldn’t act impulsively.

"Grandfather is right. Since today is unpleasant, Annie and I will postpone our engagement temporarily. We’ll choose another auspicious day in the future!" Gu Xuanyu followed Old Master Gu’s words.

"You..."

Hearing Gu Xuanyu’s words, Dai Annie wanted to state her position and directly refuse him.

But before she could speak, she was interrupted by Dai Jinsong, who had been standing nearby.

"Haha, that’s great. Today, I’ve only come to attend your birthday banquet, Old Gu. I didn’t expect to see any engagement! Everyone, back to your seats, the banquet begins!" Elder Wang, already in a good mood, was even happier seeing the Gu Family’s good event disrupted.

Smiling, he turned and walked away with Wang Hong.

The guests around, seeing no conflict happening, also returned to their seats one after another.

However, Old Master Gu didn’t rush to leave; instead, he stood still for a moment.

Although he wore a smile, Chen Yang could see that the anger and murderous intent in his eyes were more intense than anyone else’s!

Noticing this, Chen Yang felt some apprehension towards Old Master Gu.

After all, cunning old foxes like him were much harder to deal with than the four profound experts around.

"Chen Yang, right?"

Old Master Gu suddenly spoke, smiling, "Very well, you left a deep impression on this old man!"

This sentence from Old Master Gu seemed to praise Chen Yang, but it actually contained a dangerous signal!

Chen Yang maintained eye contact without any trace of inferiority or arrogance, without answering him.

"The marriage contract between our Gu Family and Annie remains valid. If there’s another opportunity, our Gu Family will invite you to the wedding banquet!" Old Master Gu continued.

Just as Chen Yang wanted to respond to his words,

he had already turned and left.

With Old Master Gu leaving, Gu Xuanyu and Gu Honghu naturally left together as well.

However, when the father and son left, they both cast a look full of killing intent at Chen Yang!

Clearly, this matter wouldn’t end so easily, and there would definitely be troubles to follow.

But Chen Yang wasn’t afraid of trouble!

...

A major conflict was resolved in plain sight.

After Old Master Gu left with Gu Xuanyu and Gu Honghu, the banquet continued normally.

After Chen Yang and the girls sat down, no one said anything, and they quietly finished attending the banquet, then left the Gu Family together.

Leaving the Gu Family, they walked to the gate.

Just as Chen Yang was about to get the car to take the girls back to the hotel,

Dai Jinsong suddenly chased after them.

"Annie, you have to come home with me today." Dai Jinsong glanced at Chen Yang and then spoke to Dai Annie.

Dai Annie, still upset about earlier, just wanted to leave with Chen Yang, Li Han, and Ruoxi.

"No! I’m going with Li Han and Sister Ruoxi. I’m not going back." Dai Annie said.

Dai Jinsong looked troubled. He knew that the fault partly lay with him for what happened earlier.

"Annie, we can talk slowly when we get home. Don’t be impulsive. Would your father harm you?" Dai Jinsong continued to persuade.

Dai Annie was stubborn in her anger and was very decisive in her stance.

"There’s nothing to say about this. I will never be with that Gu Xuanyu. Make him give up!"

Dai Jinsong knew Annie was still angry, and talking about this would only make it worse, so he quickly said, "No, taking you home this time isn’t to discuss the engagement, but to have a good talk. After what happened earlier, I realized."

"This kind of thing can’t be forced, so I’d really like to chat with you."

Hearing Dai Jinsong’s words, Dai Annie’s attitude softened immediately.

She was just angry temporarily and didn’t really have any issue with her father. She understood that everything Dai Jinsong did was for her good.

"Are you serious?" Dai Annie’s attitude showed a little softening.

"Of course, when has your father ever lied to you?" Dai Jinsong affirmed.

Dai Annie hesitated for a moment, but seeing his certainty, she chose to believe him.

"Fine, I’ll go back with you!"

Dai Annie agreed.

Hearing her agree, Dai Jinsong’s face immediately showed a relaxed expression.

He only had this one daughter, whom he cherished like a treasure. He was really worried that because of today, a rift would develop between them.

"Alright, then let’s go now; it’s getting late." Dai Jinsong said.

"Wait a moment, I need to say goodbye to my sister and Chen Yang."

As Dai Annie spoke, she glanced at Chen Yang, but said nothing, and went to say goodbye to Li Han, Yang Ruoxi, and Wu Kexin.

"Annie, have a good talk with Uncle Dai when you get home. No matter what, Uncle Dai acts for your good."

"Don’t be unhappy anymore; it’s all over now. Speak well, and Uncle Dai will understand you."

...

During the goodbyes, Li Han and the others also patiently advised Dai Annie.

Dai Annie nodded and agreed.

"Mm-hmm, I’ll have a good talk when I get home. I’ll come to visit you whenever I have time!" Dai Annie smiled, suddenly feeling much better.

"Alright, Annie, we’ll be waiting for you in the county town. Visit anytime you can." Yang Ruoxi chuckled, waving her hand as she and Dai Annie were about to part ways.

After saying goodbye to them, Dai Annie finally said goodbye to Chen Yang.

Their hearts were already connected, so there wasn’t much left to say during their farewell.

Like Li Han and the others, Chen Yang advised her to negotiate well once she’s back, and didn’t say much else.

After the goodbyes, Dai Annie left directly with Dai Jinsong.

"Chen Yang, since Annie is leaving, I won’t join you guys for a while. When we get back to the county town, I’ll invite you for a meal someday." With Dai Annie leaving, Wang Qingyue suddenly spoke up, preparing to return to the Wang Family first.

She felt a bit uneasy because she wasn’t very familiar with Li Han and Yang Ruoxi.

"Alright, take care of your things first. We can gather again sometime!"

Chen Yang nodded in agreement, and then Wang Qingyue also left.

"Let’s go to the hotel and rest a bit, then we’ll head back later."

Watching Wang Qingyue leave, Chen Yang said to the three girls.

"Alright, let’s go."

Li Han and the others nodded in agreement.

Then Chen Yang drove his car from the parking lot at the gate, and took the three girls back to the hotel.
