Chapter 1085: Chapter 1089 Psychological Imbalance

The marriage of his granddaughter was an event Senior Master Gu hoped would be carried out with grandeur and dignity, without any unpleasantness between the two families.

“Alright,” Gu Junzhu always complied with the old man’s wishes and immediately took out her phone to call Mi Junyuan.

Senior Master Gu said with a chuckle, “Turn on the speakerphone; I want to listen too.”

Gu Junzhu agreed once again, thinking fortunately Mi Junyuan was someone who could keep things clear. Otherwise, if he said something sarcastic and offended her family’s Senior Master, she’d have no choice but to peel off his skin!

The call connected quickly, and Mi Junyuan’s voice was very polite, “Young Master Gu, so early in the morning, is there something you need?”

“Good morning, President Mi,” Gu Junzhu greeted Mi Junyuan and repeated the news that the engagement date needed to be moved up.

Mi Junyuan cheerfully said, “That’s wonderful news! Xiao Mi is pregnant, the sooner we set the marriage, the sooner her mother and I can be at ease.”

“Alright, so is that settled?” Gu Junzhu asked, “The day after tomorrow at noon, at the top floor of the Grand Hotel in Beijing.”

“No problem,” Mi Junyuan replied, “Her mother and I will certainly be there on time.”

After settling a few more details and exchanging polite words, Mi Junyuan hung up the phone.

Putting the phone on the table, Mi Junyuan’s stern gaze swept over Siqi’s face and settled on Mi Xinyu’s, “Your older sister and Master Qiao’s engagement has been moved up. The day after tomorrow at the Grand Hotel in Beijing, both our families will dine together. Your grandparents and both your uncles and aunts will be there too. You’d better behave yourself, and don’t speak out of turn. Otherwise, I will disown you!”

Mi Xinyu trembled with anger.

She had been locked up in the basement for a full day and night before being released, and throughout that time, her father hadn’t even allowed anyone to give her a sip of water.

In her eyes, her father had always been a good-tempered man, treating her mother with tenderness and affection and doting on her and her brother.

From childhood, her father had never chastised her or her brother, almost always granting their every wish, completely indulgent.

Yet this time, her father had locked her up for a day and night, leaving her without food or water.

Trapped in the cold basement, she felt cold, hungry, and afraid, with no one coming to see her.

She had been pampered from childhood and had never experienced such hardship.

Only after being locked up for a full day and night did she realize that her father wasn’t without temper; he simply didn’t lose it easily.

But once she truly angered him, he was a stern patriarch.

Decisive and unrelenting.

After being locked up for a day and night, and losing ten percent of the inheritance shares, she despised Mi Sheng to the extreme.

Because of Mi Sheng, she lost the proud ten percent share as her dowry, leaving her like all the other girls in Beijing’s upper society, only able to receive cash and property upon marriage.

But everyone knew that stock ownership was the real foundation for establishing oneself in life.

Cash and property were just eggs.

Stock ownership was the chicken that laid golden eggs!

Her father, who adored his children, had announced on her birthday this year that she would be given ten percent of the shares as her dowry when she got married.

Her grandparents had initially disagreed.

Favoring her brother over her, her grandparents favored Mi Xiangyu and wanted all the shares to go to him, advising her father to be like other families who were satisfied with offering more cash and properties as dowry when their daughters married.

Her father told her grandparents that if she had ten percent of the shares as her dowry, she could marry an even better man.
