Chapter 10: Playing Hard to Get
"Besides, the Gu family's matter has caused an uproar online. It doesn't seem good to give Yangyang the engagement that originally belonged to Gu Jin, right?" Mrs. Xue's smile didn't change.
Ruan Xueling frowned. "So you want Gu Jin and Xue Duo to get engaged?"
If Yangyang wasn't worthy of Xue Duo, was Gu Jin, a stupid girl who grew up in the countryside, worthy of Xue Duo?
Ruan Xueling even suspected that Gu Jin was the one who caused the incident online to snatch Yangyang's identity and her engagement.
Mrs. Xue took a sip of tea. "The children are all in high school, so there's no hurry to get engaged. I'm only here today to confirm on behalf of the Xue family if what happened online is true. After all, this engagement was set by the old master when he was still around. We can't be careless."
"Oh right. Isn't Gu Jin back? Why didn't she come out to meet a guest?" Mrs. Xue's eyes were filled with disdain.
She heard that Gu Jin grew up in the countryside. In her opinion, she wasn't even as good as Gu Yang, her adopted daughter!
At the mention of Gu Jin, Ruan Xueling's expression turned even uglier. "Little Jin went out early in the morning."
Mrs. Xue nodded and did not stay any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left with Xue Duo.
Xue Duo didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but before he left, he frowned at Gu Yang, seemingly a little unhappy.
Gu Yang felt puzzled. Other than hanging up on him, she didn't do anything to him, right?
Xue Duo walked very slowly and kept looking at his chat group with Gu Yang on WeChat. When he saw that Gu Yang didn't chase after him or send him a message even after he left the Gu family villa, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Didn't she like him? There had to be a limit to playing hard to get. Why wasn't she anxious now that the engagement was about to be broken?
Xue Duo sneered. He wouldn't take the initiative to talk to Gu Yang!
A few minutes later, Xue Duo sent Gu Yang a WeChat message with a cold expression.
[Gu Yang, why did you hang up on me this morning?]
However, after a minute…
Two minutes passed…
Half an hour passed…
There was still no reply on WeChat, he did not even see her typing on the other end at all.
As soon as the Xue mother and son left, Ruan Xueling was so angry that she threw the tea set on the ground. After venting her anger, she turned to Mrs. Li and said, "Go find Gu Jin! Yangyang was kind enough to give her the identity of the real daughter, but she still didn't know what was good for her. She even posted the matter online, causing Yangyang to be abused online and lost her engagement with the Xue family!"
"Mom." Gu Yang held Ruan Xueling's hand and handed her a cup of tea. Her tone was gentle with a hint of softness. "Mom, don't be angry. It's bad for your health."
Hearing Gu Yang's voice, the anger in Ruan Xueling's heart dissipated a little. She drank the cold tea Gu Yang handed her to calm her anger and looked at Gu Yang worriedly. "Yangyang, don't look at Weibo. Daddy and Mommy will handle these things. We will help you fight for the marriage with the Xue family."
Gu Yang shook her head. "Mom, there's no need. I don't like Xue Duo. This marriage doesn't belong to me to begin with."
Ruan Xueling didn't believe it. All along, her daughter couldn't hide the love she had for Xue Duo in her eyes. "Yangyang, you don't have to give in on this matter! I want to ask Gu Jin how she has the cheek to snatch her little sister's fiancé!"
Gu Yang wanted to say that the big shot didn't even like Xue Duo.
Gu Yang said gently, "Mom, Big Sister just came back and doesn't even know about the marriage agreement between the Gu family and the Xue family. How can she scheme to snatch it?"
