Chapter 3
At about 9 a.m., a white Cayenne drove into a villa on the outskirts of the city, and after driving for a while, the car gradually came to a halt and a young woman stepped out of the driver's seat.
She wore a plain dress, a white beret suppressed the black hair on top of her head, and wide-brimmed sunglasses covered most of her face, revealing only her curvaceous jaw and rosy lips.
After looking around, she walked to the wrought iron gate in front of her, and when she reached the courtyard gate, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I've arrived." β
It didn't take long for the maid inside to come over and open the iron door for her, Xia Xi'er followed the path in the courtyard and came to a bungalow, she was about to ring the doorbell, but the door suddenly opened, and Wen Minxuan appeared at the door with a cold face.
"Minxuan." Xia Xier opened her arms and wanted to hug each other affectionately, but as soon as she got closer, she was ruthlessly pushed away by the other party.
Wen Minxuan pushed Xia Xier half a meter away, frowned and said, "Be careful of paparazzi secretly taking pictures." β
"Don't worry, I've seen it all, and no paparazzi are coming." Xia Xier took off his sunglasses and smiled a little awkwardly.
Wen Minxuan stopped talking, turned around and entered the house, Xia Xier followed, and the two walked into the living room one after the other, and sat side by side on the sofa.
Wen Minxuan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said with a strained face: "I'll rush to the company for a meeting later, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly." β
Xia Xi'er lowered his eyes, and his fingers quietly covered the back of the other party's hand, "I miss you." β
"Ciel, it's over between us." Wen Minxuan changed his sitting posture and withdrew his hand, "In another week, I will be engaged, I don't want to make any peachy news at this time." β
"So Young Master Wen is so single-minded? Your fiancΓ©e is truly happy. β
Xia Xi'er taunted in a weird way, she felt that her body seemed to be filled with a jar of vinegar, and her heart and lungs were full of sourness, Wen Minxuan's ruthlessness certainly made her feel cold, but what made her mad the most was the woman named Gu Xue, although she had only seen Gu Xue once, but just the fact that the other party was the quasi-granddaughter-in-law of the Wen family was enough to make her hate this person to the core.
Xia Xier thinks that she is no worse than Gu Xue, and she knows how to please men better, Gu Xue is inferior to herself in everything except for the shell of a young lady, what qualifications does she have to grab a man with herself?
Wen Minxuan glanced at her and said coldly, "Do you think the breakup fee is too small?" β
"No...... I'm not ...... for money," Xia Xier hurriedly denied.
Wen Minxuan ignored it, took out the checkbook and wrote it down. After writing for a while, he put down his pen, tore off the top check and handed it over, "It should be enough now, right?" β
Xia Xier glanced at the number on the check, hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted it. She can see through it, love is all deception, it is better to take the opportunity to make more money, so as not to end up with no personal wealth.
She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes swept to the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, through the half-open curtains, she could clearly see the grass and trees in the courtyard, but just outside the fence of the courtyard, under the shade of green trees, a man was sneakily holding up his camera and pointing it at the two people in the house.
******
"Explain to me, what's going on?" Wen Tingshu threw the entertainment weekly magazine in his hand on the table.
Wen Minxuan stood in front of the desk, his standing posture was slightly stiff, and his face was a little ugly, he glanced at the magazine on the table, and saw a line of red headlines printed on the cover: Popular movie star Xia Xier's secret meeting of wealthy sons.
In addition to the eye-catching caption, there are also several photos of him talking with Xia Xier in the villa a few days ago.
Wen Minxuan knew that he was wrong, so he obediently lowered his head and put on a posture of admitting his mistake. He knew that although his grandfather didn't talk much on weekdays, he was actually like a mirror in his heart, and he saw it very thoroughly, and he could hide the affairs of himself and Xia Xier from others, but he couldn't hide it from him.
Wen Tingshu leaned on the mahogany Taishi chair, his expression was peaceful, but there was a deterrent power that was not angry and self-threatening, he stared at Wen Minxuan for a while, and sighed softly, "Minxuan, there are many kinds of women in this world, some women can marry into the door, and some can only play on the spot and play." Xiaoxue is a very good girl, and she will be a good wife and mother in the future, I hope you can treat her well. β
"Grandpa, I see. I won't be in contact with Xia Xier again. Wen Minxuan nodded respectfully.
"It's good to understand." Wen Tingshu spoke, always to the point of the moment, he saw that the other party had a comprehension, so he waved his hand lightly, "It's nothing, you go out first, don't forget, I'll go to the Gu family later, and explain it to Xiaoxue." You're about to get engaged, and if something goes wrong at this time, it won't be good if it affects the engagement ceremony. β
At this moment, in the Gu family's study, the atmosphere is also solemn and depressing.
Gu Xue was stuck in the sofa, her hands clasped on her knees, her beautiful eyes were slightly drooping, and there was a faint trace of pity in her eyes, this pity was not for herself, but for the former Miss Gu family who felt worthless.
Through the memory of the original owner, she can feel that the daughter of the Gu family actually loves Wen Minxuan very much, but unfortunately, the other party is a scumbag, this man is not only domestic violence, but also messing with flowers and grass outside.
This so-called Xia Xier was originally just a third-tier actor, however, in just a few months, she became a first-line popular actress, and Wen Minxuan must have made a lot of efforts behind it.
Gu Xue's heart was filled with disgust, and she opened her mouth coldly: "Dad, you have seen it, Wen Minxuan's character is problematic. Do you really feel free to let me marry such a person? β
Gu Zhiwei put down the entertainment weekly magazine in his hand and raised his eyes to look at his daughter on the side, "This kind of gossip magazine likes to chase the wind and catch shadows the most, and you can't doubt Minxuan's personality just because of this." β
Gu Xue was a little displeased when she heard this, and just wanted to say something more, but the maid outside suddenly knocked on the door, "Master, Miss, Young Master Wen is here." β
"Invite him to the study."
Wen Minxuan is definitely a distinguished guest of the Gu family, every time he comes, he will be warmly entertained by the host, like today, the host does not come forward, and is led upstairs by the servant, but it is the first time.
Standing at the door of the study, Wen Minxuan's heart swelled with apprehension, he knew very well that the Gu family was deliberately snubbing him, and this qiΔ all originated from that entertainment weekly.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind for a moment, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
When Gu Zhiwei saw him, he didn't greet him as enthusiastically as usual, but pointed to the vacant seat opposite with an expressionless face, "Sit down." β
Although Gu Zhiwei didn't believe in the so-called gossip and revelations, since this happened, he had to put up the shelf of the elders, lest others think that their Gu family was easy to bully.
Wen Minxuan pulled out the leather chair and sat down, and before the other party could speak, he took the initiative to clarify his intentions, "Uncle Gu, I want to explain about me and movie star Xia Xier......
"You mean that?" Gu Zhiwei pushed the magazine on the table forward, and added a sentence slightly mockingly: "The photo is good." β
Wen Minxuan was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and continued: "The company has a product that wants to be endorsed by Xia Xier, so I asked her out and talked about some cooperation matters, but I didn't expect to be secretly photographed by the paparazzi." β
Wen Minxuan didn't dare to lie to Wen Tingshu, it didn't mean that he would also tell Gu Zhiwei the truth.
He thinks that his relationship with Xia Xier is very low-key and cautious, and he should not be able to dig up any other fierce material except for being secretly photographed by the paparazzi this time.
Besides, this candid shooting incident is actually not a big surprise. In the photo, he and Xia Xier did sit very close, but the two did not behave too closely, since he was not caught raped in bed, he would not admit that he split his legs.
Gu Zhiwei didn't take this seriously, in his mind, Wen Minxuan is a good boy who follows the rules, and he will not be entangled with those female stars at all. At this moment, after listening to the other party's explanation, he was completely relieved, "Minxuan, Uncle Gu believes that you are innocent, but you still have to pay attention in the future, if this kind of scandal is too much, it will damage your reputation." β
"Okay, Uncle Gu, I'll pay attention to it later." Wen Minxuan let out a long sigh, he actually didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he only used a few words to cover up the past.
However, he was wrong, and this is not the end of the matter!
"Mr. Wen, you are really hard, and you even have to go out in person to find a celebrity endorsement?"
Gu Xue had been sitting in the corner and watching, and in the face of the harmonious scene in front of her, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Also, the location in the photo should be in the living room, right?" Mr. Wen is really good Yaxing, and he actually asked a female star to go to a private residence to discuss advertising endorsements? β
Wen Minxuan was obviously stunned when he heard this, not because the lie was exposed, but because he didn't expect Gu Xue to say such a thing. Xiaoxue in memory is a very docile girl, she always believes in him unconditionally, and never has any doubts about him.
However, at this moment, Gu Xue would openly refute him, and still in that provocative tone, which made Wen Minxuan a little at a loss.
But after all, he is a person who has seen the world, and he soon regained his composure, "The photo is indeed a villa I have in the suburbs of the city, and when I bought this house, I mainly liked the good scenery, and I have never lived seriously after buying it, and it is basically used as a place for friends to gather, and I often meet some customers there." You're right, whatever the purpose of the house, it's always a private house, and I really didn't think about it when I chose to meet Xia Xier there. β
"Why haven't you ever taken me to such a beautiful place?"
"Why don't I take you to my villa for a barbecue tonight?" Wen Minxuan looked at him left and right, unwilling to answer the question head-on.
Gu Xue didn't intend to let him go like this, "I don't want to go to your villa, I'm just curious, why is my fiancΓ©e not qualified to go, but those female stars can enter the house?" β
"Haven't you been? I seem to remember taking you there. Wen Minxuan simply pretended to be confused.
Blaming a qiΔ on his bad memory can be described as a man's nirvana to deal with his girlfriend's doubts.
However, Gu Xue felt that it was ridiculous for him to pretend like this, "The person you brought with me must not be me, maybe it is a female star who looks very similar to me." β
Seeing that the two of you said a word, there was a faint smell of gunpowder, Gu Zhiwei finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Xiaoxue, Minxuan is so busy with work, it's normal to remember some things incorrectly occasionally." β
"I've been really busy this time." Wen Minxuan immediately followed the conversation and said, "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, I've only been busy with work recently and neglected you, I will definitely find more time to accompany you in the future." β
This fake confession made Gu Xue get goosebumps when she heard it, but Gu Zhiwei felt quite relieved, "Xiaoxue, Minxuan has already apologized to you, don't worry about it anymore." β
Gu Xue turned her face away and stopped talking, she could refute Wen Minxuan without any scruples, but she didn't want to confront her father in front of outsiders, so she could only choose to be silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, Wen Minxuan got up and said goodbye with interest. Gu Zhiwei sent him downstairs, and along the way, the two chatted for a while.
"Minxuan, don't blame Xiaoxue for having a bad attitude towards you, it is inevitable that she will be angry when she suddenly hears this kind of news." Gu Zhiwei only thinks that his daughter is jealous, and she will be jealous, which means that Xiaoxue cares about Minxuan, as long as she doesn't hurt her feelings, it's not a bad thing to make a little awkward occasionally.
How did he know that Gu Xue was not jealous at all, she just wanted to find an excuse to break off with the scumbag.
Wen Minxuan walked down the stairs, and while walking, he echoed: "This time, it is true that I did not think about it carefully, and I also understand Xiaoxue's feelings, Uncle Gu, please help me persuade her, I promise that this will not happen again next time." β
"Don't worry, I'll help you persuade her more."
When Gu Zhiwei returned to the study, Gu Xue was nesting in the sofa with his hands and knees, not knowing what he was thinking, he slowly walked over and sat down next to his daughter, "Min Xuan has already apologized to you, you can forgive him, after all, he and the female star are just talking about business......"
"Dad." Gu Xue interrupted him abruptly, "Can't you see that he's lying?" β
"You think too much, Minxuan is not that kind of person."
Gu Zhiwei was not stupid, he also heard it, Wen Minxuan's explanation was a little far-fetched, but between the gossip magazine and his quasi-son-in-law, he decisively stood on the latter's side. In his subconscious, he always hoped that Gu Xue would marry into the Wen family, and he didn't want to give birth to any branches, but this thought gradually blinded his mind, making him dare not and did not want to doubt Wen Minxuan's character.
"I don't care what kind of person he is, anyway, I won't get engaged to him." Gu Xue was a little deflated, and she didn't know what to say, so that her father could understand that she simply broke the jar and broke it, so she could do whatever she wanted.
Hearing this, Gu Zhiwei suddenly sank his face, "Don't play with a child's temper!" It's not something as big as an engagement that you can say alone. β
"Can't I be allowed to decide for myself the major events of my life?"
"This is your own decision, since you agreed to it, you can't go back now."
Gu Xue was anxious and stood up, "Dad, don't force me to run away from home." β
Gu Zhiwei's anger was rising, and he unconsciously raised his voice, "If you have the ability, you can leave, otherwise, even if I tie you up, I will tie you up and go to the Wen family to get engaged." β
After he said this, he stopped talking to the other party and left the study on his own.
Gu Xue felt stuffy in her chest, and her mood was terrible, the day of engagement was getting closer and closer, but she hadn't thought of a way to deal with it, could it be that she really wanted to run away from home?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and the more upset she became, the more she couldn't think, so she decided to go out for a walk and adjust her mood by the way.
But as soon as she walked to the entrance, Sister-in-law Li suddenly chased after her, "Miss, where are you going?" β
"I'll go out for a walk." Gu Xue replied casually while changing her shoes.
Sister-in-law Li smiled, "I'll go with you." β
"No need."
It was drizzling outside the house, the sky was a gloomy light gray, Gu Xue held up an umbrella and stepped on the bluestone path in the courtyard, and when she was about to walk to the door, she inadvertently turned around and found that Sister-in-law Li had been following her.
Gu Xue yelled at the other party a little impatiently: "Sister-in-law Li, I said that I don't need you to accompany you." β
Sister-in-law Li walked a few steps quickly and trotted to catch up, "Miss, anyway, I don't have anything to do now, just let me take a walk with you." β
Without waiting for Gu Xue to answer, the driver Lao Wu ran over from not far away, and as he ran, he shouted out of breath: "Miss, are you going out?" Need me to drive you? β
"No, I'll just walk around the neighborhood."
Gu Xue turned around and wanted to leave, but Lao Wu suddenly rushed over and stopped in front of her, "I'll send you there." β
Sister-in-law Li immediately chimed in: "Yes, let Lao Wu send it to you." β
Gu Xue couldn't cry or laugh a little, she was going for a walk, alas, sitting in a car, is that still called a walk?
She looked at Sister-in-law Li, and then at Lao Wu, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, she finally reacted, "It was my father who asked you to stare at me, right?" β
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Sister-in-law Li's face, "No, I want to go out with you." β
"No...... No, it has nothing to do with the master. Lao Wu stumbled and explained, but unfortunately, his acting skills were too poor and completely unconvincing.
Gu Xue sighed, and suddenly lost the interest in walking.
Back in the bedroom, the curtains were closed, and lying in the dim room, Gu Xue pillowed her arms and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a moment.
At this moment, she finally understood what Gu Zhiwei's sentence "If you have the ability, you will leave", meant. It turned out that when the other party said this, he was already planning to restrict her personal freedom.
It's ridiculous that she was under house arrest by her own father!
Gu Xue felt deeply helpless, and even a little disheartened, could it be that there was no other way out except to marry into the Wen family?
In the next few days, Gu Xue did not go out of the gate, from morning to night, he ate and slept, slept and ate, and lived a life like a pig.
It wasn't until the night before the engagement that she finally regained her fighting spirit.
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Gu Xue's heart inexplicably swelled with a passionate emotion, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't just admit defeat, and she couldn't give up lightly until the last moment.
Thinking like this, Gu Xue suddenly felt that there was hope in her life again, she jumped off the bed, opened the drawer of the dresser, and took out a hemp rope from it, this rope was prepared by her a long time ago, in order to escape when she had to do so.
She picked up the hemp rope and ran towards the balcony.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and most of the servants were asleep, and the garden was quiet, except for a few unknown insects, which occasionally made a few low chirps.
Gu Xue walked to the edge of the balcony, looked down, and as soon as she poked out half of her head, she was startled.
At the bottom of the balcony, there were two figures, they were wandering there, but they never left the area below the balcony, it seemed that they were specially arranged to patrol here.
Gu Xue chuckled in her heart, she felt for the first time that her father was an old fox, and he would actually send someone to guard downstairs, and even blocked the way to escape from the balcony.
She was still groaning, and the figure below suddenly raised her head and glanced up, Gu Xue was startled, and hurriedly turned around and ran back. When she entered the room, she tripped over the threshold and threw herself forward, her thigh hitting the edge of the low cabinet.
Gu Xue endured the pain and returned to the bed. When she sat down, she lifted her pants and found that there was a large bruise on her thigh. This really confirms the old saying: if people are unlucky, they will even plug their teeth when they drink water.
This night, Gu Xue was so tormented that she didn't close her eyes for almost a minute. When it was almost dawn, Gu Xue got up and got out of bed again, she turned out all her cash and jewelry, and then put them all into a handbag.
After doing this, she lay back on the bed.
Just after seven o'clock, Yu Zhilan came to knock on the door, and there were two makeup artists who came with her, and they tossed for more than an hour, and finally finished putting on makeup for Gu Xue.
Looking at herself in the mirror, even Gu Xue couldn't help but exclaim: It's so beautiful, the makeup and costumes are beautiful!
She wore a handmade gown made from Italy, lined with a white silk bandeau dress, covered with a layer of embroidered white gauze, and her shoulders and arms wrapped in translucent white gauze, showing a see-through effect without feeling too revealing.
The style of the dress is very consistent with Miss Gu's temperament - elegant, graceful, and with a touch of sexiness.
At around 10 o'clock, the Wen family's car arrived. When Wen Minxuan saw Gu Xue, he stared at her for a minute, and he almost couldn't take his eyes off. Gu Xue usually doesn't wear makeup, she is already very beautiful, and once she puts on makeup, it is absolutely amazing.
"Xiaoxue, you are so beautiful today." Wen Minxuan took Gu Xue's hand and carefully led her into the car.
Along the way, Gu Xue was silent, her thick black eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her lower eyelids, it was obviously a festive day, but there was no smile on her face, Wen Minxuan thought that she was still angry about what happened a few days ago, so she didn't dare to talk to her more.
In the courtyard of the Wen family's house, there were many guests and beaming with joy, and the servants were busy coming in and out.
The living room is covered with red carpets, bright and fragrant flowers can be seen everywhere, and tall champagne towers have been erected on the Buffet tables on both sides, and preparations are in full swing.
Before the engagement ceremony began, Gu Xue was arranged to rest in the room, and Xiaojuan accompanied her by the side.
This is the first time Xiao Juan has come back to the Wen family, and just like when Gu Xue first came to the door, Xiao Juan was also shocked by the opulence and luxury of the Wen family's mansion, and couldn't help but have some unrealistic fantasies, she thought, how good would it be if she could marry into such a wealthy family?
Xiao Juan's eyes gradually moved to Gu Xue, the long skirt on the other party was made by a famous designer, and the pure white fabric was decorated with lace and beads, which was simple and elegant without losing its delicacy and beauty. Regardless of Gu Xue's alluring beauty, this skirt alone is enough to make countless girls envious, jealous and hateful.
The more Xiaojuan looked at it, the more envious she felt, and she couldn't help sighing, if she wore this skirt, I don't know what the effect would be?
She was thinking nonsense, and a cold sentence came in her ear: "Xiaojuan, let's change our clothes." β
Xiao Juan was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that she was hallucinating, "Xiao ...... What do you say, Miss? β
"You take off your clothes and put on my dress." Gu Xue raised her eyes to look at Xiao Juan, the angle of looking up made her eyes look big and round, however, the whites of her eyes were faintly bloodshot, revealing tiredness that could not be concealed.
"No, no, no." Xiao Juan shook her head in fright, "How can I wear your dress?" β
Gu Xue sighed and slowly lowered her eyes, "I don't want to get engaged to Wen Minxuan, Xiaojuan, you can help me." β
"What?" Xiaojuan seemed to understand what Miss meant, but after she understood, she became more and more confused, Young Master Wen was handsome and golden, how many girls were scrambling to marry him, and Miss didn't want to get engaged to him?
Xiao Juan cleared her throat and said timidly: "Miss, don't be joking, Young Master Wen is so good......"
"He's not good." Gu Xue's face suddenly sank, "Do you know that he beat me?" β
Xiao Juan's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was incredulous, "He hit you?" β
Gu Xue nodded, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing the bruise on her thigh, "This injury was kicked by him." β
Gu Xue knew that it was not very kind to do this, it was obvious that she had knocked it herself, but she blamed Wen Minxuan, which was really a bit lacking in morality. But at this moment, she can't think of a better way, besides, Wen Minxuan already has a tendency to domestic violence, but she hasn't had time to implement it yet.
Gu Xue's complexion was pale, and if she pinched it lightly, there would be obvious red marks, not to mention, the large bruise on her legs, it was simply shocking. Xiao Juan blinked in a daze, almost a little incoherent, "Master...... Madame, sir, ma'am, do they know? β
"It's useless, they won't believe it." Gu Xue raised her head and looked at Xiao Juan with a begging gaze, "Xiao Juan, please, can you help me?" β
Xiaojuan's brain was blank, she felt that her worldview had collapsed, and the elegant Young Master Wen would actually beat a woman? Miss Gu, who seems to be happy, was actually bullied?
This qiΔ came so suddenly that she couldn't think normally.
However, Gu Xue didn't intend to give the other party a buffer time, she directly opened her handbag and took out all the cash and jewelry inside, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will give you all this." β
Gu Xue is relatively low-key on weekdays, and almost does not wear other jewelry except for the silver bracelet on her wrist, but this does not mean that she has no jewelry. Every time Yu Zhilan travels abroad, she will bring her some necklaces and bracelets and other things, and Wen Minxuan will often give her some, so that the amount of jewelry is really a lot. This time, she could use them to save her.
Before she could recover from the previous shock, Xiaojuan was shocked again, and the more than a dozen pieces of jewelry in front of her were all exquisite, and she liked each of them so much.
But if she likes it, she still has some concerns, "What if...... If the old lady knows, then I ......"
Gu Xueyi grabbed Xiao Juan's hand and encouraged softly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." β
As she spoke, she pulled out a hemp rope from the bottom of her handbag, "When we finish changing, I'll tie you up, and when the time comes, you'll say that I knocked you unconscious, and then tie you up with a rope." β
Xiao Juan looked at Gu Xue, then at the pile of jewelry on the side, and finally nodded.
If she could calm down and think about it, she would find that Gu Xue's words were actually full of loopholes. In the past half a month, Gu Xue has rarely gone out with Wen Minxuan, every time Wen Minxuan comes to see her, no matter how bold Young Master Wen is, he will not beat Gu Xue on the Gu family's territory, right?
Besides, there are a lot of servants in the Gu family, even if the young lady is beaten at home, someone will definitely know, how can she be unaware?
However, Xiaojuan was already stunned at the time, and the temptation of money made her completely unable to discern the direction and let others lead her by the nose.
After the two exchanged clothes, Gu Xue tied up Xiaojuan.
Xiaojuan originally wore the uniform work clothes of the Gu family's maids, with a blue pullover, black trousers, and white canvas shoes. Her height is about the same as Gu Xue's, and this dress is just the right size for Gu Xue, but the shoes are a bit big, but she can barely make up for it alive.
Gu Xue quietly slipped out of the room and cautiously walked towards the staircase.
The gorgeous dress has become a simple overall, and the delicate bun has also become an ordinary ponytail, at this moment, Gu Xue's dress is no different from an ordinary maid, no one would have thought that this girl would be the protagonist of this engagement ceremony.
She walked forward with her head bowed and leaning against the corner, and the hallway was full of people, but no one noticed her. Because today is a big day, the Gu family specially brought some people over to help, and it is estimated that others regard her as an ordinary maid from the Gu family.
When she walked downstairs, Gu Xue saw her parents.
Gu Zhiwei and Yu Zhilan were standing in the corner of the living room, chatting with Wen Minxuan's parents, and several people had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be chatting happily.
Gu Xue bit her lip fiercely, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. If she runs away like this, it will inevitably cause a lot of turmoil, and at that time, the Gu family will definitely be the most affected.
understands all the truths, but if she wants to compromise and marry that scumbag, she can't do anything. Gu Xue understands that her parents love her, but love is used in the wrong place, which is equivalent to indirectly pushing her into the fire pit, and she believes that they will one day understand her decision today.
This way, Gu Xue walked very smoothly, and even her parents didn't notice that their daughter was slipping under their noses.
She walked through the living room and into the courtyard, and when she approached the courtyard gate, she suddenly stopped, because she saw Wen Minxuan standing at the gate to greet her.
At this time, less than an hour before the official start of the engagement ceremony, the guests arrived one after another, Wen Minxuan shook hands with each guest with a smile, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Gu Xue was very conflicted, on the one hand, she thought that Wen Minxuan was busy greeting guests, and it was estimated that she would not notice herself, she could try to get out, on the other hand, she felt that it was too risky to do so, maybe others might not be able to recognize her, but Wen Minxuan would definitely be able to recognize her, if she broke out, she would probably be caught.
When she was hesitating, she suddenly felt that someone hit her behind her, Gu Xue instinctively turned her head, and when she saw the person clearly, she was dumbfounded.
Xie Wanru was standing behind Gu Xue, holding a pot of stump bonsai in her hand, and when she saw Gu Xue, she was also stunned, and a trace of surprise obviously flashed in her eyes.
Gu Xue's mind buzzed, and she felt that she was finished. Bumping into Xie Wanru head-on is undoubtedly the worst situation, this woman has always wanted her to make a fool of herself, and now she has such a good opportunity, so she can't take advantage of the topic to make a play?
But what she didn't expect was that the other party didn't say anything and walked past her casually.
Xie Wanru walked to the gate and said with a smile: "Minxuan, can you help me move this potted plant upstairs?" β
Wen Minxuan glanced at her, "This kind of thing, let's ask the maid to do it." β
"They're all busy, you can help me, it won't take you long."
Xie Wanru handed over the bonsai, Wen Minxuan reluctantly followed, and walked in the direction of the house, and after he left, Xie Wanru also turned around and left.
Gu Xue slowly poked her head out from behind a banyan tree, she was a little puzzled, did Xie Wanru deliberately open Wen Minxuan? Why would she do it?
Gu Xue was not stupid, thinking that Xie Wanru was kindly helping her, but no matter what the other party's purpose was, the current situation was indeed beneficial to herself.
She stepped out from behind the tree and bowed her head towards the courtyard gate.
Xie Wanru sat in the courtyard, leisurely looking at the figure not far away. Seeing Gu Xue's dress, she was really surprised at the time, and almost screamed, however, she quickly realized what the other party wanted to do.
Disguised himself and sneaked out quietly...... This series of behaviors is too abnormal, and the only one that makes sense is that there is only one explanation: Gu Xue wants to escape from marriage.
Since this is the case, then she will do a "good" thing and give this girl a ride!
Xie Wanru raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, now, there is a good show.
