C57 (2/2)

Old Lady Gu looked at him but did not say a word, treating it as silent acknowledgement.

Gu Huaisheng's gaze turned towards Gu Ruoxue and, and asked indifferently, ”You two are done.”

These indifferent words seemed to pin themselves on everyone's hearts. The entire hall was filled with a heavy pressure, and the sounds of discussion gradually disappeared.

Gu Huaisheng gently held Lo Lishu's hand and stood by her side, as if he was transmitting his power to her.

”Ruo Xue, when I spoke with you yesterday, I seemed to have made this matter clear to you. Since you still do not understand, let us rearrange this matter in front of everyone.”

”Back then when you wanted to marry Song Yan, I seem to have told you before that Song Yan's heart was not with you. He was engaged to Li Shu when he was young, and it was you who suddenly interfered and separated them. Song Yan marrying you was originally him betraying his word.

”Ruo Xue, you said that this brother of mine won't speak up for you, but as for you, you have blamed all of your wrongdoings on Li Shu. You said that Li Shu seduced Song Yan, heh … ” Gu Huaisheng shot a bland glance at Song Yan, that expression self-evident, as the corner of his mouth hooked into a mocking smile.

”Ask Song Yan yourself. Is it because he insisted on pestering Li Shu, or did Li Shu want to get involved with him?”

Gu Ruoxue stood there, stunned, she had no time to care about those numb legs of hers since long ago.

That sliver of numbness seemed to follow Gu Huaisheng's words and reached her brain, and then, his mind was entirely blank.

She had never known that Lo Lishu was actually engaged to Song Yan.

It turned out that she had acted so arrogantly for so long that he was the one who had interfered.

The grudges and unwillingness in his heart, as well as the seemingly righteous and confident facts that he spoke of, all seemed to be a joke.

”Qing Yu, you told me before that you didn't want me to marry Li Shu, because you like me. I suspect that this time, you intentionally agreed with Ruo Xue to slander Li Shu.”

”How could I!” Gu Qingyu quickly rebutted him. When did she ever say those words? Moreover, she had really seen Lo Lishu and Song Yan hooked up at the banquet.

Gu Huaisheng smirked, then looked away, as if he was too lazy to waste words with her.

Everyone in the hall suddenly understood what Gu Huaisheng meant when they heard his words. Everyone in the Gu family knew that Gu Qingyu liked Gu Huaisheng.

In other words, if she took this opportunity to splash dirty water on Lo Lishu right now, it would also be possible.

”Grandma, I believe there should be a contest in your heart as well.” Gu Huaisheng looked at Old Lady Gu with a solemn gaze.

Gu Qingyu stood there, her whole body trembling in anger. Gu Huaisheng had actually, for Lo Lishu's sake, made up some words that she had never said before. It was true that she liked him, but she had always carefully endured this emotion.

Now, she finally managed to make Gu Ruoxue resent Lo Lishu as well, and had even watched her reveal the relationship between Lo Lishu and herself in front of a large crowd. However, with just a few simple words from Gu Huaisheng, the matter that was about to happen was messed up just like that!

Gu Qingyu held onto Old Master Gu's hand as if seeking help, and anxiously said, ”Grandfather! You have to believe me, I actually saw the two of them in the backyard that night. ”

Old Master Gu frowned, he was also in a difficult position, but he was leaning towards Gu Huaisheng's words in his heart.

In the eyes of Old Lady Gu, she was acting even more suspiciously. Right now, the old lady felt from the bottom of her heart that Gu Qingyu wanted to force Lo Lishu away so much that he wouldn't marry her to Gu Huaisheng.

”Qing Yu!” In front of all these elders, why are you making so much noise? ” The Old Lady Gu scolded impatiently, as though she had already come to a conclusion.
