"Grandma, I’m not making a fuss! I genuinely want to marry her! I’ve lived for twenty years! I’ve never been more sincere than I am now!"
The incident involving his parents once caused a deep psychological shadow for the young Zhao Siyu, even making him cynical.
Even now...
He can’t forget...
In the past, when thinking of his parents, the young Zhao Siyu would fantasize that if his parents had been stronger, perhaps such a tragic event wouldn’t have occurred...
His father could have protected his mother, and his mother could have resisted the bandits, and no one would have died...
The events of his childhood beca a scar on Zhao Siyu’s heart, impossible to heal and impossible to forget.
He wants to change his fate, to overturn everything with power.
Therefore, he’s steadfast in the belief that he must find the strongest wife to be his companion!
Because only a strong woman can protect herself well.
The old lady of the Zhao family was truly angry, even unusually furious, saying, "You say you’re not making a fuss. You just t Mrs. Li for the first ti, what kind of love is that! Your actions are only causing trouble for others! Besides, Mrs. Li is married! If anything were to happen with you, that would be truly irresponsible!"
Half of the old lady’s emotions were directed at Zhao Siyu, and the other half was vented on Gu Tong.
People are biased, and she always thought that if it weren’t for Gu Tong’s appearance, such things wouldn’t have happened.
Zhao Siyu still wanted to say sothing.
But the old lady didn’t give him a chance, saying, "Mrs. Li, you feel the sa way, right?"
Suddenly, she shifted the focus and forcefully redirected the conflict towards the other main character in the scene, Gu Tong, reminding her of how she should choose.
The identity of the young mistress of the Li family was rare and could not afford any blemishes, the old lady believed she would make a rational decision.
The focus of the scene gathered.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Gu Tong.
Gu Tong raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Huh? What does the old lady think I should be thinking?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone in the scene was stunned.
The guests were simply surprised that Gu Tong was so strong, not even giving face to the old lady.
Zhao Xiangyun couldn’t hold back, saying, "Mrs. Li’s status is married, and a young man is infatuated with you because of you, losing his mind over you, is this really okay? All families would avoid such things, it sounds terrible to spread around, Mrs. Li knows this!"
They actually resorted to threats.
Indirectly using reputation to coerce Gu Tong into compromising.
Or perhaps, they had long assud that Gu Tong had seduced Zhao Siyu; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so obsessed with her.
The atmosphere plunged into extre oppression, with all the protagonists present.
The guests and the instigators all fell silent, waiting for the outco of the situation on the scene.
However, even so, they had already shared the sa thoughts as the Zhao family, convinced that Gu Tong had seduced Zhao Siyu.
Gu Tong’s lips curved into a smile, and she chuckled softly, saying, "What the old lady said, does it have anything to do with ?"
Does it have anything to do with ?
"What..." Zhao Xiangyun stared in disbelief, completely not expecting Gu Tong to be so shaless, outright shirking responsibility.
Gu Tong casually tucked her hair behind her ear, calmly saying, "I just arrived in Shoucheng not long ago, and this is the first ti I’ve attended such a banquet, yet I never imagined there to be so many novel acts."
Zhao Xiangyun frowned, asking, "What do you an?"
