Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 64 Miss Shen, have you thought it through and decided to marry Mr. Gu?

Not long after, Xu Pingtao came into the lounge to pick up Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao. The two of them were the main characters tonight and couldn't stay in the lounge all the time.

He Lin's condition was unstable, and she had already come out to support the two sisters, so she did not go out again.

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao reappeared in the banquet hall, each holding one of Xu Pingtao's arms.

Xu Pingtao led them to greet the representatives of various families on Hong Kong Island one by one, solemnly introducing them so that the social elites present could clearly understand the importance Xu Pingtao attached to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao. They were his legitimate granddaughters, the only two new generation members of the He family's direct line.

The members of the He family's collateral branches, who had been eager to make a move at the family reunion banquet, all fell silent after He Lin's personal presence and the dress Shen Wancheng was wearing.

Regardless of whether He Lin is ill or not, as long as she is of sound mind and comes to the banquet hall on her own, showing her closeness to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao through her actions, it demonstrates her attitude.

No one else in the He family could speak on behalf of the family and voice any objections.

Meanwhile, due to the previous conflict, everyone present guessed that Ms. Shen Wancheng had a close relationship with the new head of the Gu Group.

Between a man and a woman who are both unmarried, what other kind of relationship could they possibly have?

Those who attended the banquet basically assumed that Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng were a couple.

Shen Wancheng was also aware of this.

Based on Gu Jinxing's previous persistent attempts to harass her, Shen Wancheng even knew that today's public defense was all Gu Jinxing's deliberate act.

He wanted everyone to see him as a couple.

Because Shen Wancheng understood this, she wasn't nearly as moved as others had guessed by Gu Jinxing's defense of her today.

Shen Wancheng is accustomed to analyzing a person's behavioral logic from the perspective of interests.

Although she knew in her heart that the value she was showing was far from worth Gu Jinxing sacrificing his cooperation with the Xu family to maintain his allegiance.

Therefore, after the banquet, Shen Wancheng once again took the initiative to suggest that she speak with Gu Jinxing alone.

Gu Jinxing had no reason to disagree and readily agreed.

In one of the He family's reception rooms.

After Gu Jinxing's subordinates pushed him into the hall, Gu Jinxing waved him out.

Apart from Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng, there was no one else in the hall.

Shen Wancheng cut to the chase and asked, "Mr. Gu, what is the purpose of such a large-scale defense today?"

Gu Jinxing stared at Shen Wancheng and spoke without a moment's thought.

"My goal has never changed: to make you marry me."

Shen Wancheng's heart skipped a beat; it was unexpected, yet not entirely unexpected.

"I thought my performance today would make you give up on your decision to use me."

Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow slightly, "Use?"

Shen Wancheng retorted, "Isn't that right? Apart from using my identity as a country girl from the inland to feign weakness, I can't think of anything else about me that would make Mr. Gu go to such lengths."

Gu Jinxing remained silent for a long while before saying, "I'd like to hear the details."

"Although Mr. Gu took control of the Gu Group with swift and decisive measures a few years ago, he is still relatively inexperienced. There must still be voices opposing you within the group, and those people are quite powerful. Otherwise, Mr. Gu would not have encountered danger in the mainland."

Gu Jinxing tapped his fingers on the armrest of his wheelchair. "Continue."

“If I were Mr. Gu, I would think, since these people have already made their move, why not let them see a greater hope, show them weakness, and lure them out of their hole.”

Gu Jinxing praised Shen Wancheng in a nonchalant manner, "You are very smart."

Shen Wancheng felt that Gu Jinxing's praise was insincere, but she took it as a fact that she had guessed Gu Jinxing's decision correctly and that Gu Jinxing had broken down.

Shen Wancheng continued, "So, whether it's pretending to be blind or lame, or marrying me, Xu Pingtao's newly recognized village girl granddaughter, it's all about showing weakness to the enemy. It shows that no matter how unworthy Xu Pingtao's granddaughter is, Mr. Gu is willing to marry her to seek an alliance with the He family. Isn't that a good signal to the other side that you're in a hurry?"

Gu Jinxing raised his eyes and looked at Shen Wancheng again, asking her, "So now? How do you interpret my actions today?"

Shen Wancheng shrugged lightly. "That's exactly what I don't understand, which is why I met Mr. Gu here to ask him clearly. I have already proven to everyone that I am not a useless good-for-nothing, and marrying me is not a sacrifice of marriage; as for why Mr. Gu's eyes are better today, these are both questions I have."

"Heh~"

Gu Jinxing chuckled softly.

If Gu Jinxing previously wanted to marry Shen Wancheng because of his constant dreams and because certain hidden feelings in his heart were influencing his decision, then at this moment, Gu Jinxing genuinely felt that Shen Wancheng was very interesting.

Gu Jinxing had previously wanted to marry Shen Wancheng, but he only saw her as a Persian cat that he could keep by his side at all times.

At this moment, Gu Jinxing was surprised to discover that Shen Wancheng was not a cat, but a little fox.

At this moment, Gu Jinxing realized that his previous approach to getting Shen Wancheng to marry him was fundamentally wrong.

Shen Wancheng is different from other women. Other women, even if they are after profit, will try to cover it up with sincerity.

As for Shen Wancheng, if you talk to her about sincerity, she'll feel it's insincere; it's better to talk to her about interests directly.

Gu Jinxing replied to Shen Wancheng.

"By no longer pretending to be blind, I naturally want to put pressure on the other party and send a signal that if I don't act now, I'll miss my chance. As for still wanting to marry you, it's because I believe you have the ability to be my wife; simply put, you are very presentable."

"I see. I'm not interested in the infighting within the Gu family. What benefit would it bring me if you asked me to marry you?"

"If you want to get married, the dowry will certainly be substantial. Besides, I am also the father of your child. Marrying me will save you from many unnecessary disputes in the future."

Shen Wancheng frowned. "You know I'm pregnant?"

Shen Wancheng thought of Shen Yao meeting Gu Jinxing downstairs at her new apartment, so it was also normal for Gu Jinxing to meet Shen Mei.

Shen Wancheng asked, "Did Shen Mei reveal this?"

Gu Jinxing nodded in agreement.

Having made up her mind, Shen Wancheng put the matter aside for the time being and began to consider the truthfulness and feasibility of what Gu Jinxing had said.

Objectively speaking, Gu Jinxing's suggestion was really good. Judging from the fact that Gu Jinxing is willing to give up the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families to support her today, it is clear that Gu Jinxing will be very generous to her, and the betrothal gifts will definitely not be small.

Furthermore, Gu Jinxing is indeed the biological father of the child in her womb. If Gu Jinxing produces a paternity test after the child is born, it will be a huge problem for him to sever ties with the child.

So why is Shen Wancheng still hesitating?

Because of intuition.

Shen Wancheng inexplicably felt that there must be another reason why Gu Jinxing wanted to marry her.

This feeling of uncertainty made Shen Wancheng very uncomfortable, which is why she hesitated.

Rationally, Shen Wancheng felt that there was nothing wrong with agreeing to Gu Jinxing's request.

Intuitively, she was unwilling to agree to Gu Jinxing's request so easily.

Shen Wancheng remained silent, her reason and intuition seemingly locked in a battle within her.

Gu Jinxing waited silently for a long time before asking when he saw Shen Wancheng look up at him again.

"Miss Shen, have you decided to marry me, Mr. Gu?"
