Chapter 1023: In a Few Days, We’ll All Be Heartbroken
After entering the hall, she stopped and looked back at Gu Feimo.
"So the rumors were true."
"What rumors?" Gu Feimo raised an eyebrow.
"That you’re the son of Fourth Master and Fourth Madam of the Gu Family? I heard they passed away a long time ago." Ye Shushu said cautiously.
"That was twenty years ago, I don’t remember any of it. Which one is your room? Show me the way."
Gu Feimo walked past Ye Shushu with an indifferent face, heading for the staircase.
Ye Shushu felt a bit sad but decided not to dwell on why this man purposefully brought her back.
...
Three days later, shocking news spread across Ye City.
"Seventh Young Master and Lady Qing are getting engaged, they really are getting engaged!" A student screamed during recess.
"Really?"
"Could it be true?"
"When did this happen?"
Suddenly, almost all the girls in the classroom gathered around.
"Wow! Seventh Young Master is super handsome, it would be great to see him in person."
"My dream man is getting engaged, in a few days we’ll all be heartbroken, boohoo..."
"A golden couple, a match made in heaven, what other idioms can we use? Anyway, only Lady Qing can stand beside Seventh Young Master."
"I actually think Lady Qing is not worthy at all, everyone knows she’s a fake socialite, as phony as they come. Just think about this year’s Alchemy Competition."
"If she didn’t have the chance to use back doors, she wouldn’t even make it to the top three," a bolder student said disdainfully.
"You’re courting death! Whether she’s worthy or not, they are engaged. How dare you speak ill of Seventh Young Master’s fiancée?" Another student glared at her.
The person who spoke earlier pouted, Yue Mei playfully remarked, "I’m just stating facts, besides, Seventh Young Master doesn’t have time to bother with this."
"Doesn’t the Gu Family still have someone here?" That student kindly reminded.
A few of them couldn’t help but glance back at Xia Yinian.
"Tsk! Maybe she dislikes Lady Qing more than we do," someone blurted out.
Lin Linglang never missed an opportunity to make fun of Xia Yinian, and this time was no different.
"By the way, Nian Nian, what do you think about Seventh Young Master and Lady Qing’s engagement?"
Lin Linglang walked over and stopped in front of Xia Yinian.
"What do you expect me to think?" Xia Yinian met her gaze, calm and composed.
"Xia Yinian, stop pretending. Everyone knows you have Young Master Ling and still eye Seventh Young Master," Lin Linglang scoffed.
"Unfortunately, those are just rumors. Who has actually seen me eyeing Seventh Young Master?" Xia Yinian looked at her, with a slight curl of her lips.
No, someone did see it, that was Taotao, who even took pictures, making her life difficult for quite some time.
In just a blink, Xia Yinian brushed away the thoughts she shouldn’t have had. Let the past stay in the past, people should look forward.
"If you’re jealous of me, just admit it, stop with these petty actions!"
"Xia Yinian, don’t get cocky!" Lin Linglang snorted coldly.
There was no trace of fear on Xia Yinian’s face; she even wore a constant smile.
"Lin, you used to rely on your family’s wealth, disliking anyone who didn’t conform to you."
"But my status is different now. As long as I want, plenty of people want to collaborate with me once I step out the door, not to mention I’m Brother Ling Qian’s fiancée."
"So, am I not entitled to feel a little proud?"
