Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 562 - 563: Is Xia Yangyang Getting Married?
Chapter 562: Chapter 563: Is Xia Yangyang Getting Married?
Xia Yangyang didn’t hold back and shattered the pretense.
She laughed radiantly, “What, President Gu, despite all your efforts, you couldn’t find anything about Brother Li’s background, could you?”
Gu Qichen frowned, “Brother Li?”
She even called him with such intimacy.
“He’s not my boyfriend, so you don’t need to investigate him, but I guess you couldn’t find anything even if you tried, so save the effort.”
Hearing Xia Yangyang put it this way, Gu Qichen inexplicably felt relieved.
In the hotel last time,
When Xia Yangyang said she had a boyfriend, it had been like a thorn digging into his heart, keeping him awake at night.
Now that he had heard it directly from Xia Yangyang herself, Gu Qichen felt as though the thorn had finally been removed.
He rationalized that Xia Yangyang was probably just trying to provoke him at that time.
He didn’t believe that the past he couldn’t forget over the years could be so easily let go by Xia Yangyang.
The expression on Gu Qichen’s face eased a little.
The next moment, Xia Yangyang said, “My boyfriend is still in the United States. I only came back to take care of some business and won’t be staying for long, so naturally, he didn’t come with me.”
The expression on Gu Qichen’s face, which had just softened, darkened again instantly.
His lips were tightly drawn into a cold, hard line.
Xia Yangyang was casual and calm: “We’re about to get married. Although I would really like to invite President Gu, given that you too are engaged, I’m afraid you won’t have time.”
Gu Qichen’s face darkened completely.
She was getting married?
Unreasonably, seeing Gu Qichen like this made Xia Yangyang feel much better.
She didn’t want to probe why she fabricated these words, but it did make her feel somewhat satisfied.
The one thing she had learned over the years,
Was to love herself more at any time. If someone gave her a sweet date, she was ready to return it with two. And if someone slapped her, she was ready to slap them back twice.
Wasn’t everyone born from scratch? One shouldn’t compromise oneself all the time.
Gu Qichen ruined her day today, so she was determined to give him a taste of frustration.
Just as the two were at a standstill,
Liu Ruyan walked over: “Yangyang, you will come home with me tonight. President Gu, you rest assured.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Liu Ruyan must have overheard their conversation.
But if these two were to continue their standoff, it might draw media attention and cause a scandal.
Xia Yangyang turned and laughed at Liu Ruyan. With a tone of explanation, she said, “Aunt Liu, you won’t hold tonight’s events against me, will you? I didn’t mean to expose Weiwei on purpose. However, I couldn’t possibly let a fake painting be auctioned off. If exposed, it would be considered fraud. I spoke out because there was no choice. Weiwei may not understand my intentions, but I believe Aunt Liu will.”
Liu Ruyan was cursing inwardly, but all the while smiled on the outside: “Of course, I know. You’re Weiwei’s sister and you’ve always been sentimental. Weiwei’s just been fooled and doesn’t know it. We should thank you for being so considerate. You mentioned you have nowhere to live these past few days. Why don’t you come home with me? We were once family after all, and I have an obligation to take care of you for your father’s sake.”
This cunning girl nearly ruined Weiwei’s reputation and she had the guts to say it was for Weiwei’s own good.
Liu Ruyan was not clear about the purpose behind this girl’s sudden reappearance after disappearing for four years.
Keeping her by her side, under her watch, felt like the safer option.
But this was exactly what Xia Yangyang was hoping for.
Xia Yangyang responded, “Thank you for taking me in, Aunt Liu.”
