Chapter 1381: Chapter 1379: Lucky Star
After freshening up, Guan Chuying sat on the chaise lounge, holding her tea, and spoke with her two close friends.
"I was the one who lost my composure just now, causing you both to laugh at me!" Guan Chuying said apologetically, her face full of regret.
Wufu glanced at her sideways and said, "Even if you were to fart in front of me, I wouldnât mind."
Changping let out a chuckle. Seeing Guan Chuying glare, she said, "Yeah, weâre friends, after all!"
Guan Chuying shot them both a playful glance, then set down her teacup, grasped Wufuâs hand, and said, "Wufu, thank you. If it werenât for you coming last time to reveal this matter, we wouldnât know that he, he actually is..."
Her face turned slightly pale, and she found it hard to continue.
Guan Chuying wasnât a fool; on the contrary, she was very clever. She understood that once the engagement was set in stone, the outcome would be much harder to deal with.
Xu Huazhang shied away from women. Marrying like this in a muddled manner, wouldnât that mean living as a widow in name only, and could she even dare to say it out loud? After all, how many women quietly endured their husbands?
Guan Chuying wasnât sure; now that the engagement hadnât gone through completely, breaking it off would still leave her clean, even if it left her with a bit of a bad reputation, it was better than stepping into a pit of fire and guarding a wronged widowâs life.
Changping was particularly curious and asked Wufu, "Wufu, how did you find out?"
Wufu naturally wouldnât tell the truth and simply said vaguely, "I have a few reliable people, and it just so happened they discovered it."
Changping, being straightforward, simply responded with an "oh" after hearing this, and said, "Thatâs really a coincidence. Wufu, you truly are Chuyingâs lucky star!"
Guan Chuying, however, knew it wasnât that simple, fearing that Wufu, upon hearing about her impending engagement, deliberately had someone keep watch, and indeed, they uncovered the truth.
Thinking of this, Guan Chuying squeezed Wufuâs hand once more with gratitude in her eyes.
"Wufu, no matter what, thank you! Otherwise, I fear..." Guan Chuying spoke with lingering fear, this kindness she remembered in her heart.
"Do you blame me for meddling in your engagement?" Wufu countered.
Guan Chuying replied solemnly, "Listen to you. Although Iâm not someone extraordinary, I, Guan Chuying, know right from wrong and have a sense of propriety."
Wufu said, "Then thereâs no need for thanks. I just didnât want to see you jump into a pit of fire, since weâre good friends!"
Guan Chuying smiled and nodded heavily.
Changping remarked indignantly, "Who wouldâve thought that Xu San was actually gay. Itâs true what they say â you canât know a personâs heart just by looking at their face, and to think we all thought he was good!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Guan Chuyingâs face.
Wufu squeezed her hand and said, "Itâs not your fault, donât dwell on it. Itâs the Xu family who should apologize and admit their mistakes. Being gay isnât an issue, but they shouldnât deceive innocent women."
"Wufu, youâre not actually disdainful of being gay?" Changping asked in surprise.
Wufu took a sip of tea and said, "I donât discriminate against being gay. Love isnât constrained by age or gender, as long as itâs heartfelt. I just dislike that they, knowing their hearts clearly, still conform to their familyâs arrangements, even at the expense of innocent people. If I were Xu Huazhang and truly loved Lian Chuner, Iâd overturn the heavens to be with him! In the end, he didnât have the courage, so whether that love is true love is hard to say!"
Both of them listened, each lost in thought.
Seeing them this way, Wufu said, "Iâm not suggesting you break all conventions and defy your parents. I just mean that we shouldnât easily go against our own hearts. Some things, only after doing them, can we know if theyâre worth it. Of course, the premise is that we can bear the consequences!"
