Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 274: Does This Count as Her Breaking the Agreement?

Old Master Gu naturally did not like to deal with such trivial matters, so he did not inquire further.

Xia Chuxue’s face clearly looked like it had been hit, but she claimed that she injured herself.

Such sacrifices for the greater good, accommodating to the whole picture, was exactly the kind of woman the Gu Family needed.

At that moment, he already had a very favorable impression of Xia Chuxue, naturally preferring her over Xia Yinian, seeing her as a clever and sensible girl.

"Hmm." He nodded, looking at Xia Yiru, "Were you initially planning to have this girl come back with Ling Qian?"

"Yes." Xia Yiru could truly maintain a calm demeanor, nodding his head.

"Nian Nian, although also quite pretty, has been rather... disobedient since childhood."

"Last time when Ling Qian visited, this girl even stayed out late till dawn with some... friends."

Wouldn’t it pain Old Master Xia to speak of his granddaughter in such a manner?

But it was clear, it really didn’t pain him, and he even became more animated as he spoke.

"Back then, Ling Qian was also present. We waited together for her until dawn. At that time, I told Ling Qian that if he wanted to switch, Chuxue would be a better choice."

No one spoke, marriage is not a trivial matter, is it?

Yet, with Old Master Xia saying so, it somehow seemed reasonable.

Xia Yiru continued: "However, at that time, Ling Qian had his reservations, saying marriage decisions should defer to the elders."

"Since it was the Gu Family elders who decided on pairing Ling Qian with Nian Nian, Ling Qian had no choice but to bring Nian Nian back."

This was indeed what Gu Lingqian said at the time, and the reason Xia Yiru dared to come tonight and speak so boldly was because he believed Gu Lingqian to be an obedient child.

At least, he obeys the elders.

Old Master Gu nodded, he understood what Xia Yiru meant.

It turned out, the one Xia Family intended to marry into the Gu Family was Xia Chuxue, but Ling Qian did not dare to decide on his own.

Now, the decision was in his hands; with his approval, they could immediately switch out Xia Yinian for the obedient Xia Chuxue.

However, these kinds of matters, after all, should not be rashly discussed.

If Xia Yinian had not committed any faults, he naturally wouldn’t want to just send her away.

Old Master Gu’s gaze unexpectedly fell on Gu Ziqi: "What exactly happened tonight?"

Recently, Grandpa hadn’t been paying much attention to her. Gu Ziqi had been somewhat neglected these days; now receiving Grandpa’s attention, she suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Guan Xiaoxue discreetly nudged her: "Grandpa is talking to you!"

Guan Xiaoxue seemed to have figured it out; as long as Miss Zi Qi pins the blame on Xia Yinian, Xia Yinian would immediately be ousted from the Gu Family.

Then, having Xia Chuxue marry into the Gu Family, no matter what, it would be better than the current Xia Yinian.

Miss Zi Qi then came to her senses, hastily saying, "It was... it was when I went to play with Xia Yinian, we found this in her room."

Miss Zi Qi pointed at the medicine packet on the table, her face flushed: "I didn’t know what it was, so I had someone test it, and unexpectedly... it was that kind of stuff."

"Miss Zi Qi doesn’t know what it is, yet could casually have it tested? Don’t tell me, you concluded that it was something bad?"

Xia Yinian, who hadn’t spoken until now, seemed to have enjoyed enough of their performance.

Her focus was on Gu Lingqian.

When signing the agreement, no one expected this situation, did they? Now, does it count as breach of contract by her?
