C1

Golden Age Hotel.

The main hall on the first floor was filled with guests. Business celebrities were gathered together to chat. They came and went, bustling with noise and excitement.

Gu Anning changed into a custom-made dress and walked out of the changing room. He looked at himself in front of the full-body mirror and a satisfied smile appeared in his quiet and limpid eyes.

"Miss Gu, you sure are beautiful today." The dresser looked Gu Anning up and down before nodding with a face full of admiration.

Gu Anning slightly curled his lips and looked at her with a smile. He didn't say anything.

Hearing that this dress was chosen by Young Master Qin himself, the dresser looked at Gu Anning's smiling face and wanted to say something, but there was a knock on the door.

Gu Anning glanced towards the door and said, "Come in."

"Miss Gu." The butler wore a black tailcoat and stood respectfully by the door. "It's time, you may leave now."

Gu Anning replied. He lowered his head to straighten his skirt. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a perfect smile as he followed the butler downstairs.

The hall was full of people. Although Gu Anning didn't know her, he could guess that they were friends of the Qin and Gu family in the mall. She smiled decently and walked to Qin Kun's side at a leisurely pace, but didn't see Qin Shikai.

"Uncle." Gu Anning glanced at Qin Kun. He originally wanted to ask Qin Shikai's whereabouts, but after looking at the people in the hall, he pursed his lips and swallowed the words that were on his lips.

Qin Kun looked benevolently at Gu Anning, nodded and faced the crowd, "Everyone, today is the great day of the engagement between Shikai and Tranquil East. I am glad that everyone has taken the time to come, and I thank everyone here first."

The guests glanced at Gu Anning who was beside Qin Kun, then looked at each other. They were all curious as to why Qin Shikai did not show himself, but due to Qin Kun's identity, none of them dared to ask directly.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Qin Kun's cloudy eyes. He cleared his throat and continued, "There's an urgent matter at the company. I'm afraid Shikai will arrive a little later. I hope everyone will …"

"Creak ~" Before Qin Kun could finish his words, the door that was originally tightly closed was pushed open from the outside with a sharp and ear-piercing sound. The people in the hall all stopped and turned around to look.

Two tall and broad iron doors were slowly pushed open, and a few young men in black suits stood at the entrance.

The people in the hall were stunned by the sudden situation. After a while, they reacted and began to talk in low voices.

Qin Kun frowned and looked at the butler beside him: "What's the situation?"

How could the butler know? He raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead and said nervously, "I'll go take a look."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps sounded out from outside the hall.

Someone among the guests suddenly shouted excitedly: "Could it be Young Master Qin?"

Today was Young Master Qin's engagement day. It wasn't impossible to surprise his fiancee on such a day.

Gu Anning's heart moved when he heard that. A trace of surprise flashed across his clear black eyes. He also raised his head and looked at the door, waiting for that person to appear.

Lin Mufan put one hand in his pocket, he was only wearing a simple white shirt, the top two buttons were undone, revealing a sexy collarbone, the sleeves were rolled up to the wrists, revealing a strong white wrist, on his young and handsome face, his eyebrows were black, his eyes were long, and his sexy thin lips were pursed slightly, his face was expressionless.

He had just walked to the door when someone in the hall recognized him. "Lin …" "Lam Tung!"

Lin Mufan ignored him and walked forward without looking back. It was unknown whether the gathered guests were forced by his aura or not, but they all automatically opened up a path for him.

Lin Mufan stopped in front of Qin Kun and slowly smiled: "Old Man Qin."

Qin Kun looked at Lin Mufan in displeasure. Although he was not satisfied with his sudden appearance, he was, after all, the CEO of the Lin's disease. He nodded and smiled, "It's a pleasure to see Lam Tung take some time out to attend Shikai's engagement banquet."

Lin Mufan fixed his eyes on Gu Anning, who was standing beside Liu Tie. Today, she wore a corset that revealed her exquisite collarbone, fair skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of black eyes like two gems, sparkling under the light.

She was a lot prettier than she was six years ago.

Lin Mufan curled his lips and revealed a satisfied smile.

Hearing Qin Kun's words, he withdrew his gaze and opened his mouth neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Old Man Qin is mistaken." He narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly and spoke with a light tone, "I came today just to tell everyone that Chairman Qin will not be able to come today!"

He indifferently swept everyone with his gaze as he spoke word by word.

This sentence was no different from a bomb. When the guests heard this, they began to discuss among themselves.

Qin Kun frowned and was instantly unhappy. He looked at Lin Mufan with a sullen face: "Lam Tung, I don't understand what you mean by that."

"Don't be impatient." Lin Mufan chuckled and took two steps back. He looked at Qin Kun and said, "I will make you understand."

Then, he smiled at Gu Anning, who didn't say anything. Gu Anning was confused by Gu Anning's smile. He frowned and looked at him in confusion.

Lin Mufan's handsome and handsome face still had a confident smile. He stretched his hand towards the assistant beside him, who immediately handed the documents over to him.

"There is a shortfall in the Qin family Group's funding. Chairman Qin has been taken away by the authorities to investigate."

With a "Hua" sound, the hall seemed to explode. The depression from before was gone. The guests were all curious as to whether the news Lam Tung brought was real or fake.

Qin Kun's face changed as he retorted with an ashen face, "Nonsense! No matter what, Lam Tung is the person in charge of the Lin's disease Group, he actually slandered our Qin family! "

"Is that so?" Lin Mufan was still calm, the faint smile on his face made people clench their teeth, "This is evidence that there is a gap in the Qin family Group's funds. If Old Qin and the others here don't believe it, I can give each of you a copy and see if it's real."

He was still chuckling. He looked innocent and harmless, but it sent chills down everyone's spines. He added, without holding back, "I have a lot of them in my car."

"You …" Qin Kun was instantly speechless from anger. Although the guests were shocked by such news, because of Qin Kun's presence, they did not dare to go up and question him. They could only look at Lin Mufan in surprise.

It had always been said that the Qin family and the Lin's disease did not get along, but now it seemed that there was really something going on.

Lin Mufan, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, walked a few steps towards the stunned Gu Anning.

Gu Anning didn't expect Lin Mufan to suddenly come close to him. He stared at Lin Mufan with his round and dark eyes. When he raised his head to look at him, Lin Mufan's eyes were still smiling.

His clear eyes were like a black bottomless pit, forcefully sucking her in. When she finally reacted, he had already wrapped his waist around her and pulled her into his embrace.

The tip of his nose was filled with the refreshing scent of a man, and even though there was a thin layer of cloth between them, Gu Anning could still feel the heat coming from his body. Gu Anning's heart was in a mess, and his heart skipped a few beats, and he subconsciously reached out his hand to push him away, but the man leaned over her: "Hey, your fiance is going to jail, why don't you follow me?"

His voice was magnetic and deep. Everyone present could clearly hear his voice. They looked at the two people hugging each other in shock, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

It was only an engagement banquet, yet there was so much shocking news.

Gu Anning looked at the handsome young face in front of him and panicked. He pushed him away in embarrassment and anger: "Lam Tung, please behave yourself!"

Just now, he … Had he teased her in front of all the guests?

Although Gu Anning didn't have any expression on his face, his heart was like a troubled spring water, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

When Qin Kun saw Lin Mufan being so outrageous, the smile on his face faded as he walked between the two of them and protected Gu Anning behind him. "Lam Tung, today is the wedding day between Shikai and An Ran. Aren't you going too far?"

"Too much?" Lin Mufan smiled. He was already handsome, and now that he smiled like that, it was hard for people to look away. "I just came to inform you out of goodwill that Wu Tie couldn't come today. Does Old Qin think that it's wrong?"

From the moment he entered until now, his face had always been one of tranquility and elegance.

"And like I said, if you don't believe me, I can send someone to bring in the photocopy of the evidence. Everyone should have a good look so that you won't misunderstand me."

Qin Kun was choked to the point that he couldn't say a word. He could only pucker his lips and glare angrily at Lin Mufan.

Gu Anning stood beside Qin Kun and frowned at Lin Mufan. Although this man looked harmless, but in reality, his moves were fatal. He did not know why he suddenly attacked Qin family.

"Since Old Qin has nothing else to say, he must believe my words." Lin Mufan chuckled. He looked at the crowd, "It seems that today's marriage cannot be arranged. Everyone can leave."

All of the guests in the hall were famous people in the business world. Regardless of whether the marriage could be arranged, just the news of the 'funding gap in Qin family Group' was enough to embarrass Qin family.

"Miss Gu, see you next time." Lin Mufan looked at the time and turned around to leave without any hesitation. The few men in black that were originally guarding the door also quietly followed him.

The originally noisy and eerie hall instantly quieted down. Everyone stared blankly at the empty door, feeling as if everything that just happened was just a dream.

It was a pity that Old Qin's expression reminded them that everything that had happened just now had truly happened.

Qin Kun was so angry that his face turned pale. He couldn't even say a word. He looked at the butler and instructed, "See the guests out!"

Without any hesitation, he went up to the second floor!

Gu Anning frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he followed behind Qin Kun and left the hall.
