Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 404: 404: Funeral for a Fiancé???

The banquet hall was decorated in a Western style with dark tones, and the drapes above were all yellow.

At a glance, it didn’t look like a place for a wedding banquet at all, more like a venue for a funeral,

A perfectly good banquet, yet they chose to hold it here...

Gu Tong was a bit perplexed.

However, as a ’follower,’ she had no right to express any opinions, so she swallowed her words and didn’t say a thing.

...

Gong Chenli was familiar with the place, clearly showing he was a regular. He led the people behind him with a few swift steps to the entrance of a special private room, and then--he stopped!

At the entrance, a woman in her twenties, chewing a toothpick, scanned her surroundings. As soon as she saw Gong Chenli, she decisively raised her hand to stop him, saying, ”Miss Lin is resting! You can’t go in!”

To actually dare to stop Gong Chenli? Truly audacious.

The guests who noticed this scene all had expressions of shock on their faces.

A trace of an imperceptible smile flitted through Gong Chenli’s eyes, he curled his lips and said, ”Make way!”

The female bodyguard: ”???”

Hey, she was seriously trying to stop him, okay...

Did he think she was joking...

”Just say, I want to see her!” Gong Chenli added another line.

”...” It’s because you’re here to see her, she doesn’t want to meet you, alright...

The female bodyguard fought to hold back a twitch at the corner of her mouth and said, ”Mr. Gong, please leave. Miss said she won’t see anyone, so...”

Before she could finish speaking, a light and airy female voice came from the room, ”Let him in!”

The female bodyguard was instantly baffled, completely bewildered...

She hadn’t even finished speaking, and her own miss was already undercutting her, couldn’t she even play properly...

Gong Chenli curved the corners of his lips, showing a faint smile, looking in a good mood! The meaning on his face was obvious, with a look as if saying he would not budge.

The female bodyguard’s mouth twitched, but she had no choice but to obediently step aside...

Gong Chenli acknowledged her cooperative gesture with approval, then led the group behind him into the room.

...

The partitioned room was somewhat unique.

The interior was exquisitely arranged, giving off a different kind of vibe.

However, it was clear that Gong Chenli’s interest lay elsewhere. His eyes scanned around, finally resting on Miss Lin, who was on the sofa.

Miss Lin was dressed in a black long gown, with a pleated design and ancient patterns, appearing somewhat old-fashioned. But Miss Lin, being strikingly beautiful, could completely carry off the long dress, without causing any discord.

She held red wine in her hand and said evenly, ”If you want to come in, I guess no one could stop you!”

Judging by this stance, she should be an old friend of Gong Chenli’s, and a well-acquainted one at that, or else she wouldn’t directly make such a judgment.

Nevertheless, from just this, Miss Lin’s cleverness could be discerned! After all, since he was going to come in anyway, why not handle it peacefully without creating a ruckus that’s pointless in the end.

”Saying that, I don’t like it. Your mourning fiancé banquet, how could I not personally congratulate?”

Gong Chenli’s words were light as air, but behind him, Gu Tong nearly spat out blood...

Mourning fiancé banquet???

Could that really be the theme of this banquet...

Isn’t it a bit too unique...

Even if you want to give a gift, is this really the way to go about it...
