Dashing Student-Chapter 1201: Switching the Groom

Several elders from the Gu Family descended upon the Yun family, instantly turning the atmosphere lively and bustling. The Cloud Family's members were as mournful as if they were attending a funeral, while Gu Cheng was overjoyed.

"It's over, it's completely over. My Yun family is going to be destroyed by a wretch's hand!"

Several Cloud Family elders sighed deeply toward the sky, as if they were facing the apocalypse, and even the Cloud Family members felt utter despair.

Yun Di's expression was extremely grave, but he stood firmly in front of Yun Gu, his voice resolute: "The decision to withdraw from the marriage was made solely by me. Come at me for anything!"

"Dad." Yun Gu's eyes were brimming with emotions, completely moved.

Yun Di forced a smile onto his face: "Before, I thought marrying you into the Gu Family wasn't bad, also to save your grandfather. But now, I realize I was wrong, so let me make it up to you."

Witnessing the heartwarming scene between father and daughter, Chen Nan couldn't bear to interrupt, yet he was bewildered in his heart; why does no one trust his words except for Yun Gu?

Bringing Elder Yun back safely, why doesn't that explain anything?

Gu Cheng was carried by guards to the front of several elders of the Gu Family, accusing them tearfully: "Uncles, the Cloud Family is simply too much, trampling on the face of our Gu Family!"

"Please, uncles, take action, teach the Cloud Family a lesson; meanwhile, I want to personally cripple that kid!"

He pointed to Chen Nan, but the faces of the Gu Family elders simultaneously changed, fearing Chen Nan might unleash a slaughter, as he had even killed the Gu family's patriarch — killing them wouldn't be difficult either.

"Shut up!"

One of the Gu Family elders raised a hand and slapped Gu Cheng fiercely, the slap making the entire scene silent.

Everyone stared dumbly at this scene, puzzled as to why Gu Cheng was the one being slapped? Weren't the Gu Family elders here to back Gu Cheng?

In everyone's bewildered gaze, several Gu Family elders walked up to Chen Nan and respectfully cupped their hands.

"Sir, we forgot to notify Gu Cheng about the annulment of the marriage; it was the fault of our Gu Family. If Sir is upset, Gu Cheng is yours to dispose of."

These words left everyone even more stunned, with some Cloud Family members who were still crying loudly now forgetting to cry, their hearts shaken with tumultuous waves.

Especially Gu Cheng, who felt like the sky was collapsing, crying out, "What's wrong with you? He's just a pretty face, why are you so respectful to him?"

Seeing things were amiss, several guards threw Gu Cheng in place, standing aside with insightful perception.

The Gu Family elders were unfazed, merely standing there meekly, waiting for Chen Nan's instructions.

"So this is how it is. I thought the Gu Family reneged and wanted a death struggle with me." Chen Nan laughed twice, causing sweat to bead on the foreheads of several Gu Family elders.

"No, no, we absolutely do not dare offend you, sir. We were merely busy moving last night, thus the oversight. We ask for another chance."

Chen Nan nodded slightly, saying blandly: "Alright, let's handle this then."

The elders of the Gu Family sighed in relief, hurriedly walked up to everyone, and shouted loudly, "Today, the marriage contract between our Gu Family and Cloud Family is annulled, because our Gu Family simply doesn't match the Cloud Family!"

"Moreover, our Gu Family will move away from Gu Manor, because that place was originally the Cloud Family's ancestral land, which our Gu Family seized and occupied for a thousand years; hence, we must return it to the Cloud Family."

"Additionally, we wish to offer some compensation to the Cloud Family, hoping to be forgiven for the Gu Family's mistakes."

Saying that, he produced a Storage Ring and handed it to the Cloud Clan Leader.

Yun Di took the Storage Ring in a daze, and upon checking it with his Divine Sense, he immediately drew a sharp breath in shock; the resources inside the ring were overwhelmingly plentiful.

Others didn't know what was inside the Storage Ring, but seeing Yun Di's astonished expression, they knew surely it was substantial.

The sudden turnaround left the crowd watching seemingly petrified, not understanding why the Gu Family humbled themselves so, nor why Gu Manor was actually land seized from the Cloud Family.

At this moment, they suddenly remembered the words Chen Nan said upon arrival: "I killed the Gu Family patriarch!"

They finally realized this statement was truly factual!

"No, impossible, how could our Gu Family have seized the Cloud Family's land? Why are you groveling to that pretty face? It's all fake, you're all acting against me!"

Gu Cheng seemed to go mad, screaming and shouting, as one Gu Family elder stepped forward and knocked Gu Cheng unconscious with a strike, then hoisted him onto his shoulder.

"Sir, we'll be heading back now; hope the Cloud Family promptly comes to take over their ancestral land."

After saying this, the Gu Family members present left one after another, and even the bride price given earlier wasn't mentioned for return.

This farcical drama ended just like this, leaving everyone flabbergasted, but teaching them one key lesson — the Cloud Family is now set for prosperity!

All of this is thanks to the young man standing at the forefront of the crowd!

After a long time, the elders of the Cloud Family finally figured out what had transpired, changing their faces and coming before Chen Nan.

"Sir, I see at a glance that you are meant for greatness, truly a dragon amongst men, indeed an honorable friend of the Cloud Family!"

"Yes indeed, our Yun Gu alongside you are truly well-suited, a match made in heaven!"

"Why not take advantage of this opportunity today and marry Yun Gu? Then we'll truly be a family."

Their calculations seemed almost ready to spill over onto Chen Nan's face, making him sneer coldly, his eyes mocking the Cloud Family elders.

Not long ago they mocked him as a toad lusting after a swan, and now he's a dragon amongst men, a perfect match for Yun Gu. Saying they're fickle is unfair to that term.

However, Chen Nan didn't refuse, only turning to Yun Gu. Though the Gu Family stepped forward to withdraw the marriage today, Yun Gu's reputation was still tarnished, which was not what he hoped for.

He originally wanted to resolve the matter gently, but didn't anticipate the Gu Family's blunder leading to the wedding still taking place. Chen Nan smiled at Yun Gu, "Are you willing to change to a new groom?"

Yun Gu hesitated, but Elder Yun, like a playful child, pushed her forward: "Why hesitate? Agree quickly! Such an excellent grandson-in-law can't be let go!"

Elder Yun's words lightened the atmosphere considerably, and Yun Gu's face blossomed into a smile once more, but this time it was a smile of happiness.

"Mm, I'm willing."

"Great, the wedding continues!"

A loud shout, the chaotic scene was swiftly tidied, and Chen Nan also changed into a brand new groom's outfit, with Yun Gu once again donning the red veil.

Even Zhang An and Zhang Ning, who were left in the inn, were brought back by the innkeeper's wife, becoming witnesses to the wedding.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Bow to the parents!"

"Bow to each other as husband and wife!"

"Enter... the bridal chamber!"
