C56

Xing Yumiao was shocked.

His daughter had always been a stubborn person. After studying at the new academy for the past few years, her guts had become even more frightening. What great clan's girl could not do, she insisted on doing it, causing him to have a headache.

She had already opposed the Gu family's marriage countless times, had gone on a hunger strike, had run away, and had played all sorts of games. He didn't believe that after only two hours, she would be able to come up with an idea and obediently agree to marry into the Gu family.

"Meifeng said you've thought it through?" Xing Boyan asked.

"Yes, I've thought it through." Xing Xiu said obediently.

"Tell me, how did you think of it?" Xing Yumiao wasn't fooled.

"Ah Xiu is too arbitrary. She only thinks that the marriage was set by Ah Pa, so she just wants to oppose it. "Actually, Young Master Gu and I don't know each other at all, nor do we know his character. If he really is a gentleman, then wouldn't it be my loss if we annulled the engagement?"

"Of course Young Master Gu is a gentleman!" Xing Boyan said, his voice excited.

Xing Xiu smiled slightly. Her father's reaction was within her expectations.

"Do you believe me now, Abba? I'm not going to break off the engagement. I just want to get to know Young Master Gu better before the wedding." She sat next to her father and said coquettishly, "After all, he did study at the New School. You can't let your daughter see her husband for the first time when she accepts Xipa, right?"

Xing Boyan frowned. "What do you want?"

"I'd like to meet him."

Xing Xiu had convinced her father that not only would he be suspended from the family, but he had also given Xing Xiu's mother the majority of the high quality silk cloth that the Gu family had sent over, praising her goddaughter for her ability and infuriating the two aunts.

Xing Xiu smiled faintly. However, she didn't have the time to appreciate the jealous expressions on her two aunts' faces. She quickly slipped away to the Gu Estate before her father could change his mind.

Gu Xijue's car had not yet arrived.

The driver said, "Look, Young Master, there seems to be someone at the door."

Gu Xijue rolled down the window.

There was someone at the door.

She was wearing a pink sundress with puffy sleeves, and her slender waist was neatly tied with a thin, straight red leather belt.

It was a bounty today, and the streets were filled with women in high-collared cheongsans who had been left listless by the sun. Only this girl in front of him revealed her swan like slender neck and two pieces of sparkling white calves, looking as beautiful as a doll walking down from the counter.

The doll waved at him and said generously, "Gu Xijue! I am Xing Xiu, your fiancée. "

When Gu Xijue got out of the car, Xing Xiu felt her vision blurring.

That was the first time she saw Gu Xijue. In his previous life, he had caused a ruckus for a long time in order to break off the engagement with Zhang Xuan, but in reality, he hadn't even met Zhang Xuan once before.

She had not expected Gu Xijue to be so beautiful.

He had a tall and thin figure, beautiful facial features, and a pair of eyes that were as deep and clear as the sea.

And what was most captivating was the aura he exuded.

That was the kind of open-mindedness and gentleness that only the children of genuine aristocratic families had. It was a noble way of being humble, gentle, and benevolent, regardless of the vicissitudes of the world.

Xing Xiu stared blankly at him, as if she had forgotten why she had come here.

"Gu Xijue was also somewhat surprised, but his voice was still wide and gentle." "Did Miss Xing need me for something?"

"Ah, yes. Gu Xijue, I have something that I want to discuss with you. "

"Why don't we go in and talk?" Gu Xijue made a gesture of invitation.

"No need, I don't have much to say. I will finish very soon." "Besides, your family is numerous, and you want to drink tea and say hello to others. I don't like red tape."

Gu Xijue smiled. "Alright, then let's talk here."

The way he smiled was also very pretty. The slightly upturned corner of his mouth was like a sweet hook, wanting to captivate his heart.

Xing Xiu no longer dared to look at him. She quickly lowered her eyes and said, "So it's like this, Gu Xijue. I think …" "I'll break off the engagement with you."

"Withdrawal of marriage? "Why?" Ripples finally appeared in his calm voice.

"Because I don't know you, and I don't really like you. I can't marry someone I don't like. "

Gu Xijue's handsome eyebrows knitted together.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xing Xiu added, "I know you think I'm strange." Because many women don't think so. My mother, my aunt, married a man they don't like, and they don't think it matters.

But I think it matters. Gu Xijue, I must marry someone I like! "

Gu Xijue looked at her.

This was a very interesting young lady. She was his fiancée, whom he had never met. He had proposed to end the engagement the first time they had met, and the reason was that he had to marry someone she truly liked.

She clenched her fists, looked serious, and said it was very important.

"You already have someone you like?" he asked, frowning.

"Forget it."

"Who?"

"Shadow Knight!" A great hero like him who robs the rich to help the poor and helps others in need! " Xing Xiu said proudly, "It won't be you."

Gu Xijue suddenly bent over and coughed.

"Gu Xijue, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Gu Xijue waved his hand and shook his head with a wry smile. "I thought Miss Xing's dream lover would be some kind of extraordinary person. So he's just a wild person …"

"What's wrong with the grass of the Jianghu!" The Hong gang colluded with the warlords and oppressed the people everywhere. The National Government does not care, the Patrol Office does not care, if it were not for the Shadow Hero, the citizens would have been done for long ago! "

"Miss Xing is quite hot-blooded."

"Do you think everyone is like you, a solo capitalist!" Xing Xiu snorted. "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." Gu Xijue, the reason I came today is to end the engagement. With the condition of your family, you can find a girl a hundred times better than me. Whether it's a business alliance or a military alliance, you will never lose anything.

All you want is a way of putting your faith in the old and keeping the old, for fear that others will say that your Gu family broke the engagement and leave behind the truth. It doesn't matter. I already had a plan before I came here.

As long as we agree, we will say that according to our new ideas, we have already understood each other before marriage, found out that we do not have the same personality, and decided to cancel the engagement after discussing it together. What do you think of this? "

Gu Xijue muttered to himself for a while as if he was truly considering the feasibility of doing so.

"I think so." Gu Xijue said, "But I have a condition."

"What condition?"

"We announced the end of the engagement half a year later. "But in this half year, I need Miss Xing to be my fiancee."

"Why?"

"Make the whole show. Since Miss Xing had said that being in a relationship wasn't suitable for it, then the whole process would have to be grand and fierce, even the famous ladies on the beach could know about it. When the marriage was annulled, everyone would be witnesses. "What's more …"

Xing Xiu's face reddened. "What else?"

"In addition, I will soon be running for president of East China Chamber of Commerce. I hope to have the support of your father, who is the leader of the cotton-spun Chamber of Commerce."
