Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they returned to the villa, the butler told Gu Yang that there were guests. In the living room of the villa, Ruan Xueling was sipping her tea. She had served tea many times and hinted at the guests to leave, but Mrs. Xue and Xue Duo opposite her acted as if they did not see her.
Unlike the last time she came to the Gu family, this time, Mrs. Xue lowered her attitude and smiled obsequiously. “Xueling, I know you and Mr. Gu dote on
Yangyang more. After all, you’ve raised her since she was young. I understand. Yangyang has been outstanding since she was young. I like her too. I’ve long treated her as my daughter-in-law.”
Ruan Xueling was a little impatient. She picked up the tea again and repeated,
“Our families have already broken off the engagement.”
Mrs. Xue said with a thick skin, “I know. The engagement we called off was decided on by our elders. The marriage partner was Gu Jin, so we only broke off the engagement with Gu Jin.”
Mrs. Xue knew that Ruan Xueling liked Gu Yang and didn’t like Gu Jin, so she shamelessly denied what had happened before.
She thought that since Gu Yang did not have to go through breaking off the old engagement, Ruan Xueling should be happier now, right?
However, to her surprise, Ruan Xueling put down her cup with a dark expression and said, “Gu Jin and Gu Yang are both my daughters. We’ve already said that the Gu and Xue families will no longer have an engagement!”
Mrs. Xue’s face stiffened, and her eyes were filled with displeasure. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a problem with the company’s cash flow after the tax reimbursement and she needed the Gu family’s help, she wouldn’t have been so thick-skinned as to talk about marriage.
“Xueling, don’t be angry. It was our family’s fault before. Xue Duo and Yangyang were like childhood sweethearts. Yangyang isn’t really the daughter of a wealthy family now, and those in the circles won’t marry her, but Little Duo won’t despise Yangyang.
“As long as you and Mr. Gu are willing to lend the family a billion, when Yangyang becomes an adult, we can let them get engaged immediately!” Mrs. Xue felt that Ruan Xueling would be too tactless to reject her!
If not for the Xue family’s cash flow problem, how would Gu Yang have the chance to marry into the Xue family?
Xue Duo also said, “Auntie Ruan, we broke off the engagement on impulse. I still like Yangyang. When Yangyang marries me in the future, the Xue Corporation will belong to her and me. You’re helping Yangyang by helping us.”
When Gu Yang, who was at the door, heard this, she couldn’t help but move her fingers, making a soft cracking sound.
So much so that the butler beside her looked sideways in surprise.
Gu Yang instantly returned to her gentle and ladylike appearance. She slowly stretched out her fingers, lifted her skirt, and walked into the living room. She smiled. “Mrs. Xue, Xue Duo, my mother has already made it very clear that there will be no marriage between the Gu family and the Xue family. Butler, see the guests out.”
“Yangyang.” When Ruan Xueling saw Gu Yang, her anger finally dissipated. Xue Duo’s eyes lit up when he suddenly saw Gu Yang. He liked Gu Yang’s current temperament very much. She was gentle and demure, but there was no lack of liveliness and cuteness. She was lively and had the bearing of a young lady from a prestigious family.
Mrs. Xue frowned. She was embarrassed to be chased out by a junior. “Yangyang, I’m talking to your mother.”
Why would a junior interrupt?
“I agree with her. Butler, send the guests out,” Ruan Xueling said coldly.
Mrs. Xue’s expression froze. Ruan Xueling was so ruthless now. Wasn’t she worried about Gu Yang’s future? After marrying Xue Duo, wouldn’t she have a bad relationship with her mother-in-law?
Xue Duo walked towards Gu Yang and coaxed her. “Yangyang, let me apologize to you. Don’t be angry with me, okay? I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and realized that I still like you.”
He had indeed thought about it for a long time. He had been conflicted about whether it was better to marry Gu Yang or Gu Jin..
