Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Public Face-Slapping Event

Unfortunately, Zhou Jingyi was born to a concubine, and he has no status in the Zhou Family.

Zhou Jingyi didn’t go into business; instead, he pursued an academic career, teaching at a university. The scholarly air about him makes him completely different from businessmen.

Feng Siling faced him with an expression of almost absolute admiration.

Having grown up in the Feng family, surrounded by people in the business world, Feng Siling inevitably found Zhou Jingyi, with his strong scholarly aura, most to her liking.

Mu Anhan arrived holding Gu Xiaozhan’s arm. She wore a black long dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, with slightly curled ends in a subtle chestnut color, exuding both the maturity of a married woman and a bit of pure charm.

The Gu Family’s eldest granddaughter was getting engaged, and people from the second, third, and fourth branches all came to attend.

Although they usually don’t get along, everyone still cares about appearances on important occasions.

When the two of them arrived, Feng Siling and Zhou Jingyi’s expressions changed, seemingly not expecting Gu Mu to show up.

It was known that Feng Siling had once harbored resentment because Zhou Jingyi and Mu Anhan had a past relationship.

Thus, she made every effort to target Mu Anhan, only to be countered effortlessly by Mu Anhan each time.

Zhou Jingyi least wanted to see Gu Xiaozhan, because as someone also born to a concubine, why did Gu Xi Zhan have boundless power, while he couldn’t even go into business and could only teach at a university?

Other people’s success only highlighted his own extreme weakness.

His initial seduction of Mu Anhan also had its motives, of course.

However, just when she seemed about to take the bait, an airplane malfunction incident made her distance herself even further from him.

Zhou Jingyi couldn’t understand why, but now, unable to entice Mu Anhan, he set his sights on the Feng family.

Feng Siling was utterly compliant to him and even gave him her virginity.

He suddenly felt that using the Feng family as a stepping stone wasn’t a bad choice.

But the arrival of Gu Mu holding hands made Zhou Jingyi slightly nervous.

He had an uneasy feeling, not knowing why it seemed as if something was going to happen tonight.

”Dad, why did Seventh Uncle bring her along?” Feng Siling asked, somewhat displeased.

Feng Ruixiang was naturally also unhappy with Gu Xiaozhan, whose face no one would ever disrespect in the business world. But Gu Xiaozhan refused to give in when it came to his woman.

Even when he brought out his father-in-law, it couldn’t suppress the arrogant Gu Xiaozhan.

The eldest son of the second branch, Gu Yongjin, laughed first: ”Today’s engagement party is truly lively! The main characters of the engagement party are deeply connected to our Gu Family. Si Ling, your fiancé used to be super into your Seventh Aunt!”

He deliberately brought up the sore topic, just to make the fourth branch’s Gu Xiaozhan a laughingstock at the engagement party.

Feng Siling glared at him fiercely: ”Third Uncle, Jingyi doesn’t like my Seventh Aunt at all! It’s my shameless Seventh Aunt clinging to Jingyi!”

Though it was just the Gu Family members gathered, speaking quietly, the Gu Family had always been rife with both overt and covert struggles.

Hearing her say this, everyone became intrigued to watch the spectacle.

Zhou Jingyi did not stop Feng Siling from speaking like this, as he was soon to become the Feng family’s prospective son-in-law, and in the future, he would also be a ranked member of the Gu Family. Once his strength increased, he wouldn’t fear Gu Xiaozhan either.

Moreover, he could see that the people from the first, second, and third branches of the Gu Family were all dissatisfied with Gu Xiaozhan, who was destined to be left alone and isolated.
