Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Have You Thought It Through?

After finishing speaking, he looked at her with those unfathomable eyes, as if to say there was no need for her to waste words, he already knew everything.

Gu Qili opened her mouth then obediently closed it again; it seemed he understood everything and that’s why he had appeared here, she thought, he knew all she wanted to say.

Gu Qili was still wondering to this moment, what demon or sprite had possessed her that day that made her answer without thinking: "My household registration book and ID card are also with me."

He silently watched her for a while, the light in the depths of his eyes becoming even more blurred in the rain and mist, without a single word, he just held the umbrella and turned to walk down the hill.

Gu Qili turned her head to glance at the photo of Gu Dezhong on the tombstone, still as handsome as in his youth, now the rain that fell on the picture seemed like tears streaming down from his eyes.

She said, "Dad, don’t worry, even if it takes everything, I will redeem the winery back."

His car was parked at the foot of the hill, a black Maybach 62.

She was soaking wet, while the interior of his car was clean and luxurious. Looking down at her wet pant legs and mud-caked shoes, she felt obliged to say: "I’ll take a taxi there myself, no need to trouble you."

He, expressionless, simply drove away, the wheels splashing up water that drenched her further.

She wondered where his certainty came from, was he not afraid she might change her mind midway?

Gu Qili didn’t change her mind, and an hour later, she was already standing with him at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He was dressed with timeless beauty, attracting sideways glances from passersby, while she was covered in mud, looking like a wandering clown; yet these seemingly mismatched two were here to become husband and wife.

He asked: "Have you thought it through?" This was his final ultimatum, also her last chance to change her mind.

Gu Qili nodded.

Reflecting later, she thought she was quite bold, wasn’t she scared that he was a swindler, out to trick her for her money or body? And yet she had rashly decided to go and register with a stranger.

In fact, this business deal, she was not at a loss at all; compared to the winery, three percent of the Muguang Group’s shares were incomparable. She was a burden with nothing to her name and still had to study.

Marrying her was simply a losing business on his part, other than three percent of the shares, she had no value to be taken advantage of, to say he wanted a woman for pleasure, with his conditions many would flock to him.

Oh, she really made a fortune.

The registrar glanced at the two of them, his eyes clearly marked with surprise, Gu Qili thought, if she knew she’d be registering today, she would have dressed more appropriately no matter what.

While filling out the form, he placed an ID card in front of her, and he sat to one side with his arms crossed, as if it was none of his business.

His ID photo was neat and tidy, just like him, sparing with his smiles.

Seeing the name on it, Gu Qili was caught by surprise, Mu Shuoqian, this name was familiar to her like thunder; Aus City was dominated by six major families, who controlled the entire city’s economy, and among them the Mu Family’s Muguang Group was prominent, dominating one of the three major industries in Aus City, be it dining, hotels, or entertainment.

Gu Qili stole a glance at him, meeting his deep and profound gaze as if he knew what she was thinking, a slight mocking arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

She quickly lowered her head to continue filling the form, her heart beating out of rhythm.

So he was from the Mu Family, no wonder he wanted a share of Muguang Group.
