"Mother, I’m not being self-righteous, I’m just atoning for Dad’s sins!" Gu Xiyao said softly, her face as pale as a sheet, as if lifeless and could be blown away by the wind.
"Atoning for your Dad’s sins?"
Gu Xiyao’s face remained expressionless, "That night, the night Little Uncle was drugged, Dad specifically called to return to the hotel. Although the wine delivered by Ning Zeyan never reached Dad, Dad must have known, right? Otherwise, why would he specifically call to tell to go back? Mother, you all saw it, didn’t you? My admiration for Little Uncle, and that’s why you wanted to bring us together?"
Tong Songlin’s face showed a hardly noticeable shock. Initially, it was they who had Gu Xiyao follow Lu Beichen to elevate their status in the Gu Family. Over ti, Gu Xiyao also got used to following him, and she always thought her daughter simply listened to their instructions...
Of course, Lu Beichen is so outstanding, they were together all the ti, isn’t it normal for her daughter to fall for him?
But why does it have to be...
"You like Lu Beichen, so why do you still listen to him and get engaged to Ning Zesheng?" Tong Songlin asked faintly.
"Mother, you’ve forgotten, I always listened to you and Little Uncle. This ti, I was wrong, so regardless of whether you agree or not, I have to listen to him." Gu Xiyao appeared determined, as if prepared for anything.
Tong Songlin stared at her, speaking slowly, "That night was just a misunderstanding. You’ve been by Lu Beichen’s side for so many years and haven’t seen him with any other woman. Even that night, the woman still hasn’t reappeared. Besides, even if that woman was found, she was just a one-night stand woman, could Lu Beichen possibly marry her? Even if he wanted to, she doesn’t have the status to marry him."
"Mother?" Gu Xiyao looked at her in a daze.
"Xi Yao, I’ll ask you one last ti, if you want to marry Lu Beichen, Mother will do everything in her power to help you!"
Marry Lu Beichen?
Gu Xiyao suddenly rembered his indifferent expression last night. True, Lu Beichen hasn’t been with any woman all these years, he’s strictly self-disciplined, yet... even though she’s been with him for so many years, calling him uncle every day, he still disregards her. If she really tried to manipulate him again...
Gu Xiyao shook her head, "Mother, I don’t want Little Uncle to hate !" She took a deep breath, suddenly kneeling, "Mother, I’ve promised Little Uncle, and I’m determined, let be engaged to Ning Zesheng, please?"
Tong Songlin gave her a disappointed look and turned to leave. Gu Xiyao remained kneeling on the spot, never getting up.
She kneeled for two days, Tong Songlin finally agreed to the marriage!
The engagent was held in Paris, and on the day of the engagent banquet, Gu Xiyao finally t Ning Zesheng.
He was handso and attractive, though he couldn’t compare to Lu Beichen’s elegance and steadiness, he was still a dazzling man, Ning Zeyan fell slightly short of him. Yet, his face showed cold indifference, as if the engagent was unrelated to him.
Perhaps, like her, he was just following arrangents!
Gu Xiyao sat quietly beside him, neither of them speaking, until Lu Beichen appeared.
This engagent was undoubtedly their reconciliation banquet, though Lu Beichen appeared indifferent, as if reconciliation didn’t matter to him, and as if he had nothing to do with facilitating the engagent.
He seed like an irrelevant bystander, indifferent enough to make Gu Xiyao’s heart feel constantly pricked by needles!
Until she watched him leave for the restroom!
