"I see, the Wu family's love is still there. Mr. Yuan pondered for a moment.
"I just seem to have heard something about me?"
When it comes to the key point, there is no need for Mr. Yuan to urge him at all, and immediately a long-tongued woman told what happened just now.
Mr. Yuan was not angry, so everyone's faces suddenly turned blue and red, so it looked good.
Even I felt embarrassed as if I had committed it.
"Mr. Yuan, is there some misunderstanding here, do you see?" I stepped forward, raised my chin high, and said in a resolute tone, this matter must be explained clearly in front of everyone, otherwise, I will not be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River.
Wu Qingyuan gently pulled me: "Don't be impatient. โ
I wipe, I see Mr. Yuan smiling, looking unwilling to clarify for me at all, how can I be a little restless.
"Wu Qingyuan, you...... If you don't make a move, I'll take Momo back to the harem and never go home again. "I gritted my teeth and suppressed my voice.
Wu Qingyuan was not moved at all, nor was he angry at all.
"You are my woman, who covets it?" he completely ignored the figure of Mr. Yuan walking towards me, and instead comforted me like this.
Fuck, that's a nice thing to say, but you're going to take action.
If it weren't for Wu Qingyuan holding my hand tightly, I would almost think that this time Wu Qingyuan would really be going to exchange me for benefits.
Anyway, it's not like he hasn't done it before.
"At that time, I didn't make it clear, Miss Qiao, don't be surprised. โ
I grimaced and pretended not to see Mr. Yuan.
"I'm going to make an announcement to everyone right now. โ
Mr. Yuan turned around and announced strongly.
"I, Yuan Lanshan, have recognized Qiao Xin as a righteous daughter since then, and Qiao Xin is the fifth lady of my Yuan family. โ
What......
I felt a boom in my ears, and then I couldn't hear anything.
I somehow became the fifth lady of the Yuan family in Mr. Yuan's mouth, should I discuss this with me in advance.
"Xinxin, when I discussed this matter with you before, you didn't ...... Later, I discussed it with Qingyuan, and he agreed for you, and I hope you don't be surprised. โ
I looked at Mr. Yuan, his attitude was very gentle, and his face with wrinkles and vicissitudes was full of sincerity.
I wanted to say something, but they just got stuck in my throat and couldn't get out or down.
My lips moved slightly, and I didn't say a word for a long time.
There was no refusal and no promise.
After a while, there were bursts of thunderous applause among the onlookers.
Everyone's congratulatory voices came: "Congratulations to Mr. Yuan." โ
"Thank you, I Yuan Lanshan also have a daughter today. โ
The joy in Mr. Yuan's voice could not be hidden.
"Xinxin, this matter should have been decided by yourself, but you misunderstood what he meant before, I thought, having him as a stepfather is not a bad thing for you, so ......"
I promised him for me.
Wu Qingyuan's explanation is very simple.
I understood, and I didn't feel anything other than the shock in my heart.
There were endless congratulations from the side, but I couldn't hear any of them.
But the corner of my eye, but still consciously swept in the direction of Qiu Qianqian, her feet left the pace is very fast, I only have time to see the skirt she left behind, I think the anger emanating from her body, I am so far away, I can feel it through so many people.
This was an ordinary ball, but because of the episode of "recognizing relatives", it suddenly set off a big climax.
Mr. Yuan is a person with a sense of ceremony, even if it is a temporary decision, he also has people arrange a ceremonial recognition ceremony.
I've never experienced anything like this, and I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed and just stand there and let everyone fiddle with it.
During this period, I asked for help in the direction of Wu Qingyuan.
He looked at me and just smiled faintly: "Good, don't refuse, it's not bad for you." โ
He understood the rejection in my eyes.
Yes, such a good thing, I would not want to.
Mr. Yuan's status in Shanghai, not to mention anything else, is only from the people invited to the ball held this time, everyone can see that his status is lofty.
"You stand obediently, I'll let Yunxia come. โ
After Wu Qingyuan finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.
I looked around.
It's a lounge that's not too big or too small.
I was surrounded by young women who were either giving me hair or putting on makeup.
Others were busy hanging valuable jewelry on my body.
When Sister Xia came in, the expression on her face was very happy.
"It's okay now, Xinxin, no one will talk about your background anymore. โ
Yes, my background, with the protection of the Yuan family, who is so bold as to criticize my background as a young lady in front of everyone?
"Wu Ershao still asked me to persuade you, are you still unwilling?" Sister Xia opened her eyes and asked me tentatively.
I was silent for a long time, and when I first heard about it, I was blind, so my head was like a mess, and I didn't have any ideas, and then, I refused.
I don't think he had put such a hat on me without my consent, which was completely undesirable for him.
However, after Wu Qingyuan's persuasion and the arrival of Sister Xia, I suddenly woke up.
Regardless of the process, the outcome is in my favor, so why wouldn't I?
"No, I'm happy. โ
I wasn't necessarily happy, but I at least accepted it.
"At that time, you didn't see Qiu Qianqian's expression, it was a wonderful one, her face turned white all of a sudden, and she didn't even need to put on makeup. โ
Sister Xia was standing outside the crowd at the time, and it was normal to be able to see Qiu Qianqian's reaction.
"Actually, I haven't seen anyone more persistent than her when I've grown so big. โ
knew that Wu Qingyuan would not fall in love with her, and when she was already married to Wu Qingyuan's eldest brother, she was still thinking about Wu Qingyuan.
"Yes, some losses are losses, and missing is missing. โ
Sister Xia patted her chest and leaned back in the chair with a look of emotion.
I saw that she seemed a little inexplicable today, and I couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Sister Xia, what's going on?"
Sister Xia saw that I noticed something wrong with her, and quickly reluctantly returned to normal.
"It's okay, when people are old and old, they tend to be cranky. โ
"Yunxia, I haven't even said that I'm old, why do you say that?"
Mr. Yuan's hearty voice barged in.
I hurriedly stood up and bowed to Mr. Yuan with the people who were dressing up for me, but the godfather was stuck in my throat and couldn't shout.
"Mr. Yuan. Sister Xia's face turned red, she lowered her head, and the whole person suddenly became cramped.
"Sister Xia, what's wrong?" Seeing Sister Xia like this, my mood improved.
It can't be that the two of us see Mr. Yuan like that.
"She probably didn't want to meet her. "Mr. Yuan looked at me with love in his eyes.
I blinked, wondering if I was dazzled, and stared at him again.
But I saw that the color of love became stronger and stronger.
"Tell me slowly, I still have things to arrange. Sister Xia hurriedly threw down a sentence and left in a curled manner.
Looking at her back, I looked at Mr. Yuan again, and his face seemed to have a touch of remembrance.
"When we met, she was your age. โ
After saying that, Mr. Yuan noticed the embarrassment that suddenly appeared on my face.
"You see, my godfather is old, and he can't speak. What I meant before was that Yunxia was also young, and at that time she was a veritable big red card in the harem, this ordinary person, it is not easy to see her, and I can only meet him every once in a while because I have a relationship with Old Man Zhou. โ
Hearing Mr. Yuan say this, how do I feel more and more that the man that Sister Xia told me about before that she met when she was young was him.
"I thought Mr. Yuan loved Mrs. Xian very much. โ
Although his liking for Sister Xia has nothing to do with me, since I have known him, he has been mentioning his deceased wife in front of me, which makes me always feel that he loves his wife as much as Wan Wangshu.
"Of course love, but the Si people are gone, and no matter how good the times are, they have become memories. โ
He could see it.
"Moreover, she is under Jiuquan, and she doesn't want me to think about her all the time. โ
Mr. Yuan's eyes were full of memories and nostalgia.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up these past events to make you sad. โ
Mr. Yuan is like this, in fact, it is not bad, even if you love it, you can't keep sinking because of this love, which is unfair to the living and inappropriate to the dead.
It's only going to get worse.
"I didn't finish what I said before, so you misunderstood, in fact, you are very much like my former daughter, she was not blessed and died early. โ
Unexpectedly, my face has become a substitute in this way, I have replaced Wan Wangshu's wife before, but now, I am going to replace Mr. Yuan's daughter.
Am I so attached to the dead? I touched my cheek and wondered.
"It's not because of your face, it's because of your temperament, and besides, don't worry, you're not Aqing's stand-in, I really want to accept you as my goddaughter. This is clearest in Qingyuan. โ
After speaking, a neatly dressed master of ceremonies came in and called people.
"Everything is ready, and I invite Miss Fifth to come out and pay respects. โ
I thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be such a serious person, not only asked me to dress up, but even found this professional host.
The salute was very simple, and after the salute, I was stunned that I didn't shout out the word godfather under everyone's expectations.
It's not hypocrisy, it's really unspeakable.
For me, there is no emotion, only interests, I can't go against my heart, I can choose to obey, but I can't completely ignore my own heart.
