Lu Beichen’s face was cold as he reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, seemingly gentle and intimate, "Xi Yao, you want to prove you don’t have it, I also want to know if they are cooperating. So, since you don’t have it, the Ning Family wants you to marry, how about you marry over there?"
Gu Xiyao was stunned, looking at Lu Beichen in disbelief, "Little Uncle?"
He really wants to marry her to Ning Zeyan?
He is so casually giving her to Ning Zeyan? To a man who is already disabled?
He really doesn’t believe her!
Gu Xiyao subconsciously took a step back, only to hear him say softly, "However, Xi Yao, I am after all your Little Uncle, and the Ning Family wants to take this opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Gu Family. They only say you should marry into their family, I wouldn’t let you marry soone like Ning Zeyan, Ning Family’s second young master Ning Zesheng is my junior, he is perfect in every way, very suitable for you."
"I will let you know what happens to those who try to manipulate !" This sentence from Lu Beichen consud Gu Xiyao’s thoughts.
So, her Little Uncle would treat her the sa way he treats others too?!
Gu Xiyao’s tears fell uncontrollably, looking up at Lu Beichen, she felt as if the Little Uncle before her was so unfamiliar.
"Little Uncle, do you bla like this?"
Lu Beichen pursed his lips, his face full of cold indifference.
"I heard you’ve been looking for that girl from that night recently, have you found her?" Gu Xiyao choked with emotion as she asked. She wished it was she on that night, then would Little Uncle be so anxious to find her?
"Xi Yao, don’t bring her up in front of !" His voice grew more aloof.
Gu Xiyao nodded, crying, "Fine! Little Uncle, you bla for not believing ! I’ll prove to you, I’m innocent!" She swallowed hard, "I’ll listen to you, you want to be engaged to Ning Zesheng then I’ll be engaged, even if I have to marry Ning Zeyan imdiately, I’m willing. Just... just don’t bla , okay?"
She had always been proud and confident with a strong sense of dignity, never begging anyone like this. Lu Beichen didn’t look at her anymore, just said, "I will give the Ning Family a reply. You go ho and discuss with your parents! When you’re engaged, I will co to bless you."
He turned and walked towards the room, then slamd the door shut.
Gu Xiyao stood in the corridor, only feeling surrounded by desolate loneliness, the darkness enveloping her.
The Ning Family made concessions, wanting to form a marriage alliance with the Gu Family just to establish ties, and with Ning Zeyan’s leg crippled, the Ning Family would likely have Ning Zesheng present themselves instead.
The Gu Family chose Ning Zesheng, they eventually accepted, agreeing to the engagent.
High society was well aware that Ning Zesheng was a bastard of the Ning Family, by normal standards he wouldn’t stand a chance, even now he is legitimized and might even replace Ning Zeyan, it still evokes laughter.
When the Ning Family proposed the marriage alliance, Gu Xiyao’s dad found it amusing, if Ning Zeyan’s leg hadn’t been crippled, then maybe! But now Ning Zeyan is half crippled! However, ultimately, the engagent turned to that illegitimate child, and they opposed even more!
"It was Lu Beichen who crippled him, how could he with his ability not resolve the situation? Xi Yao, don’t bother with the marriage alliance with the Ning Family!" Tong Songlin said calmly.
Gu Xiyao shook her head pleading, "No, Mother, I’ve already agreed to Little Uncle, I’ll definitely be engaged to Ning Zesheng, please approve, if you agree, Dad won’t say anything."
"Since when did you learn to decide for yourself?" Tong Songlin’s tone turned cold!
