Chapter 22 The Banquet Sudden Change
For several days, the Gu residence was dead silent. Everyone knew the reason for this strange atmosphere, but they chose not to speak out.

Mr. Gu was mostly practicing calligraphy, and Jin Qian was always with Gu Ruixin. In ten days, Jin Qian and Gu Chen met for less than an hour. Gu Ruixin noticed the gloomy atmosphere at home right away.

"Qiqi, are you going to the banquet with your brother today?" Gu Ruixin asked, looking at the hanging white dress.

"Yes, that's what I'm going to wear tonight." Jin Qian said, closing her computer, "Do you want to join us? The party seems to be quite lively today."

"I don't need it." Gu Ruixin smiled and clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Jin Qian understood and pointed at the dress, "What do you think? I have good taste, right?"

The third girl nodded in agreement. A breeze blew, and the scent of the gardenia in the yard blew into the house. Gu Ruixin looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and said, "Xixi, are you going to divorce my brother?"

Jin Qian loosened her grip and asked, "Did your brother tell you?"

"Then it seems to be true." Gu Ruixin said, lowering her head even more. "My brother called grandpa a few days ago and asked him to go to the North Country. I eavesdropped on their phone call. My brother wanted grandpa to persuade you. Sister-in-law, now that you have come back, have you decided to divorce my brother?"

Jin Qian knew that she should tell the truth now. Hiding it would be useless. "The matter between him and me should have ended long ago, but Rui Xin, the matter between your brother and I will not affect our relationship."

"Actually, I don't want you to divorce my brother." Gu Ruixin whispered, "But Qiqi, I can see that you are very determined, right? So even when grandpa tried to persuade you, you didn't give up this idea."

"Yes, Ruixin." Jin Qian's tone was light, but Gu Ruixin could already see the determination in her eyes.

"I understand. Since it's your decision, I won't stop you." Gu Ruixin smiled, "We agreed that we'll still be friends in the future."

"That's natural."

There was a knock on the door. "Miss, Madam, Mr. Gu just called. He will be back in about an hour to pick you up at the banquet hall."

"understood."

Gu Ruixin pushed the wheelchair to the mirror and said, "Qiqi, how about I put on makeup for you?"

"Of course that's good."

Although Gu Ruixin never liked to go out, Jin Qian had witnessed her excellent makeup skills. At the wedding, her makeup was also done by Gu Ruixin.

This time I went to the Jin family's banquet. The Jin family has many branches, involving the military, finance, mining, medicine, and other major fields, and there are countless industries and subsidiaries.

Jin Qian had specifically inquired about this banquet and found out that Grandpa would not be attending. So what was the purpose of this grand banquet? Who hosted it? These mysteries had to be solved in person.

"Okay, it's done!" Gu Ruixin put away her makeup brush and looked at the bright and flamboyant beauty in the mirror. Her eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't help but take a second look.

She was wearing a white waisted dress, which was simple in style, but it was innovative in proportion and material, especially the hollow back design, which made the whole dress even more dazzling. Gu Ruixin, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "Qiqi, you are definitely the most beautiful woman tonight."

Jin Qian just smiled. After the banquet tonight, her marriage with Gu Chen would end. It didn't matter whether the dress was beautiful or not.

After a while, a whistle sounded in the yard.

Assistant Jiang got out of the car. It was the first time he saw his wife dressed so brightly. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and immediately opened the back door for Jin Qian. "Ms. Su, please."

Jin Qian stepped into the car. Her first reaction was to turn on her cell phone without even looking at Gu Chen next to her.

Jiang Zhu was very panicked. As one of the few people who knew the inside story, he knew that Gu Chen would sign the divorce agreement after today's banquet. He originally thought that maybe there would be a turnaround after returning to China, but the two of them became more distant.

Thinking of this, he hesitated and said, "Boss Gu, Madam..."

"Don't talk while driving." Jin Qian said lightly.

Jiang Zhu was blocked from speaking, and he looked back at his CEO. Seeing that he didn't say anything to stop him, he had no choice but to drive out of Gu's house. The car was very quiet along the way, so quiet that Jiang Zhu almost felt suffocated.

The two people in the car didn't say a word, but they both exuded a sense of coldness. Gu Chen sat on the left side of Jin Qian, looking uncontrollably at the silent person beside him, with fluctuations in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Jin Qian calmly lifted her skirt and got out of the car. Just as she was about to walk over, Gu Chen's large hand directly covered her hand. Without saying anything, he dragged Jin Qian towards the door.
"Gu Chen." Jin Qian entered the banquet hall and couldn't help but say, "Now that you're in, you don't have to act any more."

As she said this, she was about to pull Gu Chen's hand away, but Gu Chen held her hand even tighter.

"Don't forget, your identity tonight is Mrs. Gu."

"Of course I won't forget!" Jin Qian sneered, "Please keep your word, Mr. Gu, and sign the divorce agreement after the dinner."

While the two were in a stalemate, someone came over holding a wine glass, "Mr. Gu, long time no see, this is Mrs. Gu, right? They are really a perfect match!"

In the past three years, everyone knew that Gu Chen was married, but few people had seen Jin Qian, and Jin Qian didn't like to attend these banquets. When people saw Jin Qian, they rushed over to flatter her, hoping to bring Jin Qian closer to Gu Chen.

"It seems that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have a very good relationship! I think the dress Mrs. Gu is wearing is a new runway creation by Johnson. There are only three of them in the world. Mr. Gu really spent a lot of money to please Mrs. Gu."

"That's right, Madam Gu is so beautiful, only this dress is worthy of you!"

People around were talking one after another, and all they said were compliments. When Gu Chen heard the word "dress", he frowned slightly.

This dress was not chosen by him. Jin Qian said before that she had prepared the dress herself. Is this the one? How did she get the dress that is the only one of its kind in the world?
His puzzled eyes fell on Jin Qian, but in return he received a calm and confident response from the other party, "You guys chat first, I'll go for a walk in the garden!"

With everyone staring at him, Gu Chen had no choice but to let go of her hand, but he still reminded her, "Don't go too far!"

Jin Qian gave him a look, walked to the dining area, and walked slowly with a small plate of cake.

In the banquet hall, people clinked glasses and talked about human relationships and interests.

She never liked this kind of scene, so she was determined to study medicine and was obsessed with the laboratory. Seeing that she had no intention of taking power, the Jin family never interfered with her decision. Domestic affairs have always been handled by Jin Wenshan. Just now, she walked along the way, but she didn't see Jin Wenshan. What exactly this banquet was for, she had no idea at the moment.

Before she had sufficient evidence against Jin Wenshan, she should have hidden her identity.

Jin Qian was thinking, eating the cake in small bites. Suddenly, she heard an urgent call from the back garden!
"Mr. Yun, Mr. Yun? What's wrong with you?"

Jin Qian walked quickly towards the direction of the sound and saw a man fainted on the ground. Next to him was a man in a white shirt, who seemed to be his assistant.

"What happened?" Jin Qian took off her high heels immediately out of medical student instinct, squatted down barefoot, and began to open his eyelids.

Looking at the unconscious man's black and blue lips, Jin Qian quickly concluded, "Does he have a heart disease?"
