Gu Ningyue comforted Liu Liu for a while, but seeing Liu Liu still had little reaction, she could only sigh.
Such a big upheaval, it’s certainly not sothing that can be changed with just a few words.
Gu Ningyue looked at Liu Liu: "What do you plan to do in the future? If it really cos to that."
Although no one wants to see this situation, one always has to prepare for the worst.
Just thinking about Nan Shaoyue’s miserable state when he last appeared in front of her made Gu Ningyue shudder.
However, she felt nothing yet, but when she imagined it happening to Ling Tianze, Gu Ningyue felt she couldn’t bear it.
Liu Liu sighed, gestured for Gu Ningyue to co out from the toys, leaving Ling Xuan there to play alone.
"What else can we do?" Liu Liu had Gu Ningyue sit on the bed: "Let Tianze stay inside! Even if it ans letting him stay inside for a lifeti, it’s better than him coming out and wreaking havoc on the family. Such things, once they act up, show no regard for anyone."
Gu Ningyue nodded, this point indeed cannot be denied.
So many people, for such a thing, have severely injured even their own parents.
Worse yet, entire families have been destroyed.
Gu Ningyue looked at Liu Liu and said: "If it really cos to this, we should give Uncle and Aunt a heads-up. If they feel pity, it will be difficult to handle."
Liu Liu responded: "No, it won’t happen. For Xiao Xuan’s sake, Dad and Mom won’t indulge Tianze."
Gu Ningyue didn’t speak, the lantable hearts of parents in the world, who knows whether the elder couple will pity their son?
After all, Ling Tianze has always stayed by the Ling family’s side.
The two talked in the room for who knows how long until a servant ca up and said: "Young Madam, Miss Gu, Sir has returned! Please co down to have a al."
Liu Liu responded and then went into the toy room to call Ling Xuan to go downstairs with Gu Ningyue.
"Dad, you’re back." Liu Liu said to Ling Chengyang, who was already sitting by the dining table.
"Uncle." Gu Ningyue greeted as well.
Ling Chengyang nodded, considered it a response.
His gaze lingered on Gu Ningyue briefly, then refocused on Xiao Xuan: "Why are Xiao Xuan’s eyes red? Is it an allergy?"
Liu Liu embarrassedly explained: "Xiao Xuan, tell Grandpa what happened earlier? Xiao Xuan, you’re so old now, still crying, aren’t you ashad?"
Ling Xuan lowered his head, his fair face reddening.
Liu Liu reached out to rub Ling Xuan’s head, letting him sit beside her.
Ling Tianyou extended his hand to hold Gu Ningyue’s, then thoughtfully pulled back a chair, "Sit down, feel at ho."
Gu Ningyue gently nodded and sat next to Ling Tianyou.
Ling Chengyang looked at Gu Ningyue’s attire without emotion.
It must be said, Gu Ningyue’s eyes are very beautiful, bright and sharp, more pleasing than Chen Rui’s.
It’s just a pity that Gu Ningyue’s background isn’t good.
Compared to Chen Rui, who can help the Ling Family, they are worlds apart.
"Dad, I’ve co back today because there’s sothing I want to discuss with you and Mom."
After a brief chat, Ling Tianyou got straight to the point.
Ling Chengyang said nothing, so Ling Tianyou continued: "I’ve been with Ning Yue for quite a while now, and people outside are aware of our relationship. I want to find a ti to hold an engagent banquet for Ning Yue!"
Only then did Ling Chengyang raise his eyes to look at Ling Tianyou: "Are you sure about the engagent? Have you visited Chairman Gu yet?"
Ling Tianyou shook his head: "Not yet, I wanted to co back first to ask your opinion, Dad. Chairman Gu won’t object."
The implication was very clear, as long as Ling Chengyang agreed, his marriage to Gu Ningyue would be set in stone.
Ling Chengyang looked at Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue, "An engagent is not a trivial matter. Last ti you privately got together with Ning Yue, your mother and I were not very happy with your decision. It was too hasty!"
Ling Tianyou held Gu Ningyue’s hand softly underneath, but he spoke firmly: "It was hasty at the ti, but after knowing each other for this long, I believe besides Ning Yue, no one else can match the position of Young Madam Ling."
Ling Chengyang had never seen his son oppose him to this extent before. Usually, Ling Tianyou would listen to him on most matters.
Thinking about it, it was just because their ideas had aligned at that ti!
Now, with a difference in views between father and son, it’s difficult.
Ling Chengyang said nothing, Mrs. Ling poured a glass of wine, looking at her husband: "Tianyou is not young anymore, he should get married. The child Ning Yue has been with Tianyou for a long ti, whether they are suitable or not, Tianyou surely knows."
Ling Chengyang then set his gaze on Gu Ningyue, who nearly instantly straightened her back, feeling like she was being called for a battle.
"Miss Gu is still young, her temperant hasn’t settled, and the road ahead is long. I suggest postponing the engagent, what do you think, Miss Gu?"
This was clearly an unwillingness to proceed with the engagent.
Gu Ningyue was taken aback, was this person really so skilled at dodging responsibility?
He must have realized that she sensed his dislike, thus deliberately giving her a chance to please him?
This tactic might work on soone else, who knows, they might give in.
However, it’s a pity, she’s Gu Ningyue.
"Uncle, I believe truly liking soone has nothing to do with age." Gu Ningyue looked into Ling Chengyang’s eyes without any retreat: "I trust that when Uncle and Aunt first started, they were young too. Coming so far demonstrates that as long as there’s love, age doesn’t matter."
Ling Chengyang did not expect Gu Ningyue would use his relationship with his wife as a comparison, paused for a few seconds before looking at Gu Ningyue: "Miss Gu, those were different tis when Tianyou’s mom and I were together, decades ago. Tis have changed, hearts have grown distant!"
Gu Ningyue gave a faint smile: "That’s why even if Uncle brings soone of similar age as Tianyou, it doesn’t guarantee she won’t change her heart. Why would Uncle feel uncertain about ?"
Liu Liu watched Gu Ningyue, suddenly recalled when she first ca into the Ling Family, if she had half of Gu Ningyue’s courage, perhaps she wouldn’t be so afraid of Ling Chengyang, her father-in-law now?
Luckily, Ling Chengyang was relatively satisfied with her, otherwise, she couldn’t imagine the consequences.
Faintly, Liu Liu started to admire Gu Ningyue’s courage from her heart.
If only she had this courage, even if Tianze returned with more changes, she wouldn’t be afraid!
