Chapter 1200: Canceling Engagement with a Disabled Person (4)
The daughter of the An Family, An Yiqing, has basically become a useless person due to amnesia and blindness. A woman like her, even with her noble background, is not worthy of being the bride of the most outstanding descendant of the first ancient martial arts family in Xuanjin. Therefore, the Gu Family might annul the marriage and let Gu Yelin choose another woman to marry.
The news spread, provoking a mixed reaction.
The ones who were happy were naturally those who had interacted frequently with Gu Yelin. They had all witnessed how this cold-hearted, cold-blooded man doted on An Yiqing. Any talk of breaking off the marriage and marrying someone else was utter nonsense. However, another portion of people felt from the bottom of their hearts that a useless woman like her was impossible to be accepted. Sure, An Yiqing was beautiful and came from a good family, but now she was blind, amnesiac, all her previous skills and talents wiped clean. A woman like her might be good enough to keep as a lover, but to marry her as a wife? That would surely be a loss.
When Old Master Gu heard this rumor, he was so furious that he glared and puffed his beard, yelling that he must investigate the rumor-monger and ensure the person would pay dearly.
But as soon as Gu Yelin made a phone call, Old Master Gu immediately calmed down.
The reason was simple—the person talking to Old Master Gu on the phone was none other than An Yiqing.
When Old Master Gu hung up, the anger on his face had already transformed into a comforting smile. He happily sipped his tea, feeling smug.
Who dared say that his granddaughter-in-law was a useless person? Hmph! Girl Qing, even though her eyes couldn’t see, was far better than many other women! Ah, having such a granddaughter-in-law was such a blessing! He would just wait and enjoy the show!
On this day, An Yiqing, whose body had mostly recovered, went to Yuyuanzhai with the support of Zhang Yuksheng.
Before leaving, she went through great lengths to coax Gu Yelin into focusing on his official business. He had been by her side for almost a month, keeping watch day and night. Because her amnesia made her unaccustomed to too much intimacy, Gu Yelin voluntarily suggested sleeping on the sofa. Later, it was Kong Shi who couldn’t stand it and had An Zisheng bring over a folding bed.
