Chapter 17: Heartbeat

Gu Ying sat in a relatively inconspicuous corner eating snacks, she knew that her performance tonight had made that Third Young Master Tang quite disgusted, he must hate himself in his heart now to the point of gritting his teeth, today's engagement banquet is just a farce, in the near future, it will only become a topic of conversation after dinner, and she may become a joke in the mouths of many people, or some kind people will sympathize with her.

In fact, she doesn't care about any of this, and it can even be said that this is the effect she wants, in this era, it seems that it will be a little difficult for a divorced woman to remarry, but this is exactly what she wants, because she has never thought of getting married.

Gu Liangping walked over and sat down in the seat opposite Gu Ying: "Xiaomeng went to look for you just now?" ”

"Hmm!" Gu Ying nodded.

"Don't pay attention to what she says, she's still young, and sometimes she doesn't pay much attention to what she says." Gu Liangping said: "That Miss Liu was her classmate when she was studying in Japan, and she always liked the third young master of the Tang family, and she learned that he was engaged as soon as she came back, and she couldn't accept it for a while." ”

Gu Ying smiled: "Brother Liangping doesn't need to tell me this, I won't mind, in fact, they didn't say anything excessive, not to mention, although I can't empathize with the little girl's thoughts, I can understand it." “

Gu Liangping looked at the beautiful face hidden in the light that was not very distinct, he was actually a stranger to this sister. When he was seven years old, he saw her the night he was brought into the Gu Mansion, but at that time she happened to be ill and weak, so she just called him Brother Liangping, and since then, they have not seen each other again.

About three months ago, his father asked him to go to Luoyang Village to find his grandfather Qi Zhishan, tell him about the marriage contract, and wanted Gu Ying to go home to fulfill the marriage contract. When he went at that time, he didn't see Gu Ying, and his grandfather said that she went to her Taoist master's place, and asked him to go back first, and he would go to inform Gu Ying to go home.

But after he went home, he didn't see Gu Ying until half a month later, a girl came to the door to deliver a letter, which Gu Ying wrote to her father, she said in the letter that because of physical reasons, she couldn't come back for the time being, let them go to Shanghai first when the time came, she would rush before then, and promised not to miss the engagement banquet.

Although his father was a little hesitant in his heart, and even wanted to discuss with the Tang family to see if he could postpone the date of the engagement, another letter from his grandfather dispelled his concerns.

In the few days they came to Shanghai, in fact, they were a little apprehensive in their hearts, what if Gu Ying didn't show up at that time? How do you explain to the Tang family? This worry continued until this morning, and just when they wanted to give up and tell the Tang family that they couldn't arrive, Gu Ying appeared.

This should be the second time he has seen Gu Ying, in fact, the first time is not a real meeting, and he doesn't even remember her appearance. Although Gu Ying and Gu Meng are sisters, except for their similar appearance, their personalities are not similar at all, Gu Meng is a bright and lovely girl, you can see her through at a glance, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are completely reflected on her face.

Although the Gu family is a scholarly family, he can become the richest man in Meilong Town, and the family has a lot of industry, Gu Liangping has followed Gu Qiming to take care of the family's business over the years, and has seen a lot of people of all shapes, coupled with his experience when he was a child, and living in the Gu family over the years, he has developed the ability to figure out the hearts of others. But Gu Ying, the first time he saw her, Gu Liangping felt that he couldn't see through the girl in front of him, she was gentle and obedient on the surface, and there was no flaw in dealing with people, but she couldn't feel her heart, and she couldn't see the real thoughts in her heart.

For this paper marriage contract, if it was Gu Meng, she would definitely refuse, she would not allow herself to marry someone she had never met, this was her character, and it was also determined by the education she received.

As for Gu Ying, she accepted it very meekly, without the slightest resistance, and she didn't even ask what kind of person Tang Yifeng was and what kind of family the Tang family was, as if all this had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care at all.

"Are you really willing to marry Tang Yifeng?" Gu Liangping asked, "Before today, you hadn't even seen him in person, and you didn't know him at all. ”

"Brother Liangping, shouldn't marriage be the father's order and the matchmaker's words?" Gu Ying said lightly: "My father can let me marry him, naturally he has his reasons, as a daughter, how can I be disobedient?" ”

"Do you really think so?" Gu Liangping looked at Gu Ying scrutinically, he didn't know why, he just didn't think Gu Ying was the kind of person who went against the grain.

"Of course!" Gu Ying nodded, she said and looked at her parents not far away, at this time Gu Meng was hugging her mother and coquettish, and her father was also looking at them with a smile. sighed lightly in her heart, maybe she hadn't seen her for many years, although they were her own parents, but they couldn't be as close as Gu Meng, and she was polite to talk to them today, she tried hard to find the intimacy she had when she was a child, but she couldn't find it, maybe, it would take some time, it would be the same for her, and it should be the same for her parents and Xiaomeng.

Gu Liangping didn't speak anymore, he knew that no matter what he said now, Gu Ying's answer was like this, and it was impossible for her to say what was in her heart to herself.

Getting up, Gu Liangping said: "You take a rest, there is a ceremony to participate in a while, I will arrange it first." ”

Gu Ying nodded and said meekly, "Okay!" ”

Gu Ying likes to be alone, she feels that this space is her own, and she doesn't like someone to disturb her and destroy her private space.

In addition to treating diseases and recuperating the body over the years, he practiced martial arts, and at first his grandfather taught himself martial arts to strengthen his body, and he felt that this was good for his body. Later, she gradually discovered that she had the talent to practice martial arts, and after her grandfather taught her life's kung fu, he found that there was nothing to teach, so he asked her to worship the unknown Taoist as a teacher. At first, Master Dao Chang was unwilling, he had been alone for many years, at ease, just to see her, he was trapped in a place by his grandfather, and he couldn't get out, and now he has an apprentice, and there will be no quiet life in the future. But what he didn't expect was that not long after, his grandfather brought him another apprentice, and said that one was accepted anyway, and two were also accepted, what was the difference?

Thinking of Master Dao Master's helpless expression at that time, Gu Ying wanted to laugh a little, but Mu Yun's personality was completely different from herself, and her arrival brought a trace of waves to Master's dull life, and also made her life colorful.

Gu Ying sat in the corner, deliberately choosing a place where the lights would not be completely hit, Fujiwara Mo looked at her from a distance, although he couldn't see it clearly, but he caught the faint smile on her face, many years later, thinking back on this smile, Fujiwara Mo could still feel his heart moved. If the smile I saw at first sight made my heart ripple, then this smile was enough to make my heart move.

For so many years, because of his mother's identity, although his father valued him very much, but others regarded him as a thorn in his side, and some people hated him and his mother to the core, in that environment, he had no time to think about anything else, he only wanted to do his best, make his mother proud of him, and make those who were jealous of them, hated them, and bullied them regret.

He has always thought that he will not like anyone and will not be tempted by anyone, but this woman named Gu Ying, the woman who is about to become his good brother's wife, just made him tempted.
