Chapter 80 â Crazy News; Everybody Has Their Own Thoughts (13)
It wasnât just his wife. When he first heard the news, he was shocked speechless as well. If it wasnât proven by all these prestige families, he would never believe all these were true!
He knew full well Cheng Biyuan and his familyâs situation. If he didnât have this ability before, where did all these came from all of a sudden?
â
Ye
, do you think uncle Cheng will recognize the marriage arrangement between Junâer and Xiao Xiao?â
âUghâŠâ Gu Gaoyi lifted his brows, surprised by his wifeâs question.
Mrs. Gu felt a bit uneasy under his look, turning her embarrassment into annoyance, she shouted, âWhat? Whatâs wrong with me asking that question? I am even willing to overlook the fact that they are from but a village! Besides, you guys both talked about and agreed on this marriage arrangement. Whatâs did I say wrong?â
âYes, yes, yesâŠâ
Gu Gaoyi helplessly concurred with his wife. Then, looking at his embarrassed wife, said, âYou, you are not a bad person, but sometimes a bit too snobbish. I am not 100% certain they will honor this marriage arrangement.â
âWhy not?â Mrs. Gu was downright unhappy now, âThey want to take back their words? Theyâd better not. Us the Guâs are not to be messed with!â
âWhy canât they go back on their words? Didnât we regret about it too?â
Gu Gaoyi felt both helpless and filled with regret. It was his wife who vehemently stated that they could not let the two families joined in holy matrimony. In a moment of weakness, he did not object either. So even after they have caught wind that Cheng Biyuan had been exiled from Emperor City, he never sent anyone to look for him.
Let along showing them any support or concerns, now that their familyâŠ.
If he just showed up now to revisit the marriage arrangement, he feared they will reject, or have other concerns!
Thinking back to how close they once were, his regret deepened. He never should have been affected by his wife, and matters wouldnât be as embarrassed right now.
Thinking about that, he casted a glance at his face-loving, money-grabbing wife. Standing up, he said, âLetâs stay put and play it by the ear for now. If we can be joined in holy matrimony, thatâd be great. Otherwise, we did wrong them first, weâll just have to accept it. You need to stop coming up with crazy ideas, otherwise, it will only make matters worse!â
âFine, I will stay out of it, okay?â said Mrs. Gu begrudgingly.
Gu Gaoyi didnât pay her more attention but turned around and left.
Mrs. Gu looked very unreconciled. The marriage was that close, of course she wasnât willing to walk away from it. Certainly, she was aware that she might have been a bit on the snobbish side, but itâs all for the good of the family. Can anyone blame her?
She didnât think that she had done anything wrong!
Right after the conversation at the Guâs had ended, inside another deep structure on the Luoâs, a couple in their fifties sat together in their main courtyard.
If one looked carefully enough, one would see that the old woman bore some resemblance with Luo Yuqin. They were Mrs. Cheng, Luo Yuqinâs, parents. Her father, Luo Zhengde, was also the head of household of the Luoâs. Both of them have odd looks on their faces.
After a long while, old Mrs. Luo grumbled unhappily, âThis is all your fault. You went too far. Not only have I not seen my daughter for over ten years, and now, look at this big mess. This is all your fault!â
âYouâŠâ His wifeâs childish complaint made him want to unleash his anger, but seeing the hint of tears in her eyes, he suppressed his anger.
Way back when, for the sake of saving face for the family and his hope for his daughter, he coldly banished his beloved daughter causing them to be apart for ten plus year. Itâd be lying to say he didnât regret about it at all.
But he was a stubborn man, even if he had regretted, heâd never admit fault. Nor would he ever put down his pride in front of someone of the younger generation.
