Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 273: Perhaps, It’s to Their Advantage

Xia Yinian’s indifferent gaze suddenly made Gu Lingqian feel uncomfortable.

But before he could process these unpleasant emotions, Old Master Xia, Xia Yiru, had already spoken up again.

"Actually, when Ling Qian came to our family to propose marriage earlier, I had my hesitations."

Proposing marriage, the older generation still used such old-fashioned terms, but Xia Yiru’s cultured and rational manner was something that Old Master Gu liked.

In fact, it wasn’t Old Master Gu and Xia Yiru who had a good relationship at first, but their wives.

Now, Xia Yiru’s wife had passed away, while Old Madam Gu was still alive.

It was Old Madam Gu who insisted on this marriage, but Old Master didn’t plan to disturb her with tonight’s events.

Old Master Gu looked at Xia Yiru and frowned slightly: "Just speak your mind."

"Since it is so, I will speak frankly," Xia Yiru appeared troubled, but he let it all out now.

He looked at Old Master Gu sincerely and said: "The truth is, regarding the marriage between the Gu Family and the Xia Family, I originally intended..."

Looking back at Xia Chuxue, he continued: "I actually hoped that Chuxue would marry into the family."

Xia Chuxue!

He actually said that he wanted Xia Chuxue to marry Gu Lingqian!

Members of the Gu Family were all stunned, but now it was Xia Yinian who had come to the Gu Family’s home. What did this mean?

Positioning himself as a grandfather, where did that leave Xia Yinian?

Even though the girls in the Gu Family, including Guan Xiaoxue, all disliked Xia Yinian,

Hearing Old Master Xia’s words, they still felt a certain contempt.

Old Master Xia was indeed showing too much favoritism.

Old Master Gu was frowning, but he didn’t speak.

Xia Yiru immediately explained: "Our Xia Family has always been on good terms with the Gu Family, how could I... harm you, the Gu family?"

"Is Grandpa’s meaning that my marrying into the Gu Family would be harmful to them?" Xia Yinian suddenly really felt like laughing.

Grandpa, this is the blood-related grandpa! How impressive!

"When elders are speaking, don’t interject!" He Shuya glared at Xia Yinian; she didn’t feel guilty or ashamed at all.

In her opinion, Xia Yinian wasn’t as good as her own Chuxue. Xia Yinian was like a defective product, and her marrying into the Gu Family would of course harm them.

Unlike their Chuxue, who was excellent in both character and learning, only she was worthy of Young Master Zhangsun of Gu Family.

Xia Yiru didn’t take Xia Yinian’s words seriously, as if Xia Yinian was invisible.

His gaze was still only on Old Master Gu, and his attitude towards Old Master Gu was always gentle, with a hint of deference.

"This is our Chuxue." He pulled Xia Chuxue over.

Although Xia Chuxue was bowing her head, the obvious slap print on her face was still very clear. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

This was the first time Old Master Gu was formally looking at her since Xia Chuxue had come to the Gu Family.

"What happened to her face?" The Old Master was astonished; a perfectly fine face, how did it get beaten up like this?

Gu Ziqi’s complexion changed slightly from a distance, uncomfortably glancing at Guan Xiaoxue.

Guan Xiaoxue, however, secretly patted her hand, signaling her to stay calm and watch the situation unfold.

She vaguely felt that the arrival of these people from the Xia Family tonight might just be advantageous for them.

Xia Chuxue was still hanging her head low, docile as a little lamb.

She shook her head softly, saying, "It’s nothing, I... I accidentally hurt myself."

Gu Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief, but Xia Yinian’s brow furrowed even more deeply. She had really underestimated this woman!
