Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“He controls all of A City’s financial resources and commercial driving forces, and he rarely shows up in front of the media too. I saw him at a business administration summit a few months ago. He really does look like Zuo Hancheng…

“No way Anhao would provoke such a person.”

The third uncle looked at Madam Gu, who looked solemn as she had already sensed an anomaly in the situation, and immediately frowned.

“Sister-in-law, whether Anhao has something to do with this person or not, we must definitely not offend this Mr. Zuo. If we were to offend him, then it would be even harder for the Gu family to obtain high political achievements in A City for the next few years.”

They were standing a bit far away from the front door and were muttering indistinctly, Anhao did not care about what they were talking about.

She merely stared at the man who came out of the room. He looked at her instantly after calmly looking at those people in front of the door. “You’re Mayor Gu’s daughter?”

Anhao’s face tightened. Since five years ago, everyone had been envious that she was the mayor’s daughter. But for her, she knew exactly how shameful this ident.i.ty was.

Therefore, she glared at the man, instinctively feeling that the man was mocking her. “It does not matter whether it is true or not.”

“Since you’re suffering so much from being in this family, you wanna pull yourself out from it?” the man said in a placid yet pleasant voice.

Upon hearing those words, she had intended to leave that place from the beginning as that was never her home. As for those people whispering indistinctly behind her, she had always been an outsider to the family.

As such, she looked up at the man in front of her like she was being possessed. “Of course I want to.”

After saying these five words, Anhao came to her senses and realized that it was something that had nothing to do with him.

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Zuo Hancheng gently looked at her. “And how do you plan to do so?”

Anhao thought that the man was merely comforting just because she looked pitiful so she did not think much of it. She shrugged and said helplessly without hesitation, “Any method is fine, as long as I don’t make myself look too bad.”

“Good girl.”

No one expected the man in front to stretch out his hand all of a sudden and touch her head. Then, he directly pulled Anhao into his arms when she was not paying attention.

When she collided staggeringly into his arms unguarded, Anhao’s body stiffened for a moment. She sensed that the powerful five fingertips of his hand, placed behind her back, were pressing her onto his body.

Above her head, the man spoke with a voice that everyone in the room could hear, “Since all of you are Anhao’s family members, then I’ll personally spill the beans here. I had planned to propose to her when she reaches twenty years old. If you all disagree, I can make adjustments to that. I can get married to her today itself, as my responsibility toward her.”

The faces of both the uncles of the Gu family suddenly turned pale.

Madam Gu frowned inconspicuously too.

‘How could such a famous person be involved with Gu Anhao. I originally arranged this trap to kick Anhao out of the Gu family. Instead, it became an embrace from Zuo Hancheng.’

She had also heard of this Zuo Hancheng before. Not only did he have power over the famous n.o.blemen of A City, but he was also the business weight of the central coastal area in the entire province, let alone A City itself.

If Anhao were to go with such a person who was able to take control of the economic development of countless provinces overnight, then Gu Anhao’s future life would be unparallel to s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s.

‘The illegitimate daughter of a mistress, a shameless and despicable child born out of wedlock! How are they suitable for each other!’

The Gu family was entirely flabbergasted and tongue-tied. Anhao looked up at him in surprise, before she could say anything, the man bent down and asked in a voice that only she could hear, “How long will it take for you to reach twenty years old?”

Feeling completely blank and a bit confused, Anhao replied softly, “I, I’ll be officially twenty years old after celebrating my birthday in five months’ time…”

Seeing the man’s eyes looking a bit uncertain, she explained instinctively, “I was forced to drop out of school for a year due to some affairs between my mother and the Gu family. The moment I resumed my studies, my cla.s.smates were already one year younger than me… ”

“Then it’s a piece of cake, since it’s only five months away.”

Zuo Hancheng lightly patted her on the back. “Come with me, little one, if you do, you won’t embarra.s.s yourself and also get your wish of leaving the family. Do you wanna marry me?”

Anhao was utterly clueless about what brought about this sudden change in events, and asked herself, ‘There’s nothing attractive about me besides having the virtue of having the t.i.tle as the mayor’s daughter.’ However, just because of that very t.i.tle, she had no other qualms whatsoever.

Also, he would not be able to gain any advantages from her, the worst case scenario would surely not be as bad as what was happening right now.

As such, without much hesitation nor processing all the information properly, she nodded after a few seconds. “Alright.”

After all, she was behaving exactly like how a nineteen-year-old would, spirited and hasty, no matter how intellectual and rational she was. After turning back to witness the flabbergasted expressions of those Gu family members, she gave him a firm nod. “I will marry you!”

With these four words being loud and clear, her uncles hurriedly said, “Now, wait a minute! Anhao, don’t you…”

Zuo Hancheng interrupted them in a timely manner, “Since both of you don’t like her staying in the Gu residence, I’ll take her with me. Not only do you get your wish, I also get to take this beautiful woman home. We can see it as killing two birds with one stone.”

Anhao was clueless as to why Madam Gu was so furious all of a sudden after seeing her holding back her rage. But deep down, she was a little giddy over the prospect of leaving the Gu residence.

“Yeah! You all came to catch me red-handed just so you can force me to leave, am I right? Now, I can leave after I have married someone! From now on, the s.h.i.+p has sailed. And you are no longer responsible for me anymore. It’s better this way!”

“Mom, say something! Look how arrogant Gu Anhao is!” Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ shook Madam Gu’s arm while still failing to understand what was going on.

Madam Gu whispered, “You’re supposed to be in charge of arranging a miscreant for her. Where the h.e.l.l did you get this person from? How the h.e.l.l am I supposed to fix this? There’ll be nothing for me to laugh about for the rest of my life if the little b*tch and this man are really married.”

Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ froze. “This man may look handsome, but it’s unlikely that…”

“Did you not hear what your uncles just said? He is Zuo Hancheng, the International CEO of Shengling Group!” Madam Gu said while gritting her teeth.

After taking a long time to make sense of what had transpired in front of her, Gu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ felt stunned. “Shengling Group?”

Shengling Group was not only one of China’s best transnational enterprises, but also featured on the Top 5 of the Forbes World Rankings. Even children would know such a general knowledge.

‘The CEO of Shengling Group! That means…’
