Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Republic of China Gentlewoman Divorced Wife VS Amorous Actor (Part 31)
When Lady Zhao returned, she just happened to see Huangfu Qi opening the car door, letting Gu Shengyin get out.
This scene sowhat surprised her.
“Mom,” Gu Shengyin called out to her.
“Ah!” Lady Zhao walked over to her daughter and asked politely, “And who is this?”
“Greetings, mother-in-law,” Huangfu Qi bowed slightly, “I am Huangfu Qi.”
Lady Zhao was so startled by this unexpected declaration that she covered her mouth with her handkerchief.
She had heard the na of Huangfu Qi during her many days in Cloud City. How did her daughter get entangled with such a significant figure!
She reflexively looked at her daughter. How long had they been apart, and Ruohua had already found herself a suitor to bring ho?
Gu Shengyin shook her head helplessly.
It all concerned her own daughter. Although Huangfu Qi carried an imposing aura, Lady Zhao still mustered the courage to put on a stern face.
“Young Marshal Huangfu, please be careful with your words.”
Having said that, Lady Zhao felt much more settled and continued, “Our Ruohua is just a girl. Speaking so openly is not good for her reputation.”
Upon finishing, she pulled Gu Shengyin behind her, as if worried that Huangfu Qi might get angry.
Little did she know that Huangfu Qi would nod in acknowledgnt and apologize, “I’ve been inconsiderate, Lady Zhao. I will promptly propose to Ruohua to solidify our relationship.”
After saying this, he nodded at them both and then got into the car and left.
Lady Zhao, sowhat bewildered, pulled her daughter into the house.
“Tell , what exactly is going on?” Lady Zhao unusually adopted the deanor of a mother.
Gu Shengyin was also sowhat helpless; anyone else in her situation would be utterly perplexed.
Huangfu Qi’s unpredictable behavior, if encountered by a stranger with a fiery temper, might even lead to hatred.
She sighed and recounted the events of the day.
“So, you an to say you’ve only t him twice today?”
Gu Shengyin nodded.
“Ruohua, you must be cautious. If you don’t like the Young Marshal, then we won’t marry him. We could even leave Cloud City and move far away to the South!” Lady Zhao comforted Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin felt warmth in her heart.
Given the situation, if soone harbored even the slightest personal interest, they would probably consider it a joyous occasion, thinking that becoming attached to the Huangfu Family was a trendous advantage.
But Lady Zhao only asked if she was willing.
Listening to her words, Gu Shengyin lowered her head and remained silent.
Lady Zhao, after all, was a woman and seeing her daughter’s reaction, coupled with the deanor and character she had just witnessed in Huangfu Qi, what more was there not to understand?
In her daughter’s heart, there must also be so thoughts about him, right?
Indeed, with such a man, how many won could resist? Lady Zhao wondered to herself if perhaps twenty years ago, she may have been moved herself.
Her daughter’s reaction eased Lady Zhao’s mind, yet imdiately after, she began to worry again.
It was the Huangfu Family, not just any prominent family, but the leading household in all the Northwest Eight Provinces.
If this were in a previous dynasty, they would possess enough power to declare themselves as kings of half the realm.
With her daughter’s skills, if it were a normal family, she could utilize her abilities to earn a respectable position; but if the Huangfu Family found her unsatisfactory…there would be nowhere to find soone to support her.
Lady Zhao was deeply troubled.
The Huangfu Family.
Upon returning ho, Huangfu Qi went straight to see his mother.
