In a short period of time, Rong Xuan has made a rough plan for the future. Studying wasn’t difficult for her. She has just received an admission letter from one of the top three prestigious universities in the country before transmigrating. Even if she was now in the novel’s world, the knowledge she have was still in her mind. Getting good grades and winning a few competitions should be no problem.
Although she seems to be in a difficult situation right now, it’s actually not too bad. She wasn’t short of money since it’s been written in the novel that although Rong Yao wasn’t a good father, he was still generous with the living expenses of the daughter left by his first wife. She didn’t think the problem wasn’t serious and wasn’t in a panic. On the other hand, Xiao Mei, who was on the side, flushed with anger when she heard this sentence. It’s said that every family has its own difficulties, but she never expected that the water in the Rong family would actually be so deep.
It’s a pity that Rong Yao was now flourishing in business so he didn’t listen to what Elder Lu says anymore. Besides, Rong Yao was Rong Xuan’s father no matter what. Elder Lu wanted to take Rong Xuan away before, but Rong Yao disagreed, so in the end he had no choice but to let it go.
It was said that a child without a mother was like a weed without a root. Xiao Mei finally understood what it meant when she saw the scene in front of her. Rong Xuan was really miserable. Fortunately, the engagement ceremony went well, so it feels a bit liberating. It’s funny to see Rong Yi’s envious and jealous appearance right now.
Xiao Mei rolled her eyes. Rong Yi’s thoughts were too obvious. She must have liked Gu Ye for a long time. However, it was useless for her to be jealous. Gu Ye’s fiancée was now Rong Xuan, not her.
Rong Yi waited for a while but did not see Rong Xuan erupt in fury.
She was a little confused, but also a little anxious.
If Rong Xuan didn’t go crazy, how else could this engagement party be messed up? The engagement rings have already been exchanged, could it be that the party would just pass by smoothly?
Rong Yi’s heart was full of unwillingness. She knew she should have used more strength just now and pushed Rong Xuan to pass out. If Rong Xuan fainted, the engagement party would naturally not be held.
Although Rong Yi had a vicious mind, she was only eighteen years old now and didn’t have the courage to do anything more excessive. Pushing Rong Xuan was actually her limit. However, what she expected didn’t happen.
She couldn’t help but stamp her foot. Why didn’t Rong Xuan go crazy? According to the usual, Rong Xuan should have already made a scene without a care. What’s wrong with her today?
Could it be that Rong Xuan has taken a fancy to Gu Ye?
But she had liked Gu Ye long before. How could she watch Rong Xuan, whom she hated the most, be with the person she like?
Absolutely not!
Rong Xuan stopped making trouble, what should she do now?
Ji Ning patted her daughter’s hand, signalling her to calm down.
Ji Ning looked at Rong Xuan’s face that resembled her mother’s and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.
When she first met Rong Yao, because her family background wasn’t good, Rong Yao did not marry her, but instead married Lu Yue, Rong Xuan’s biological mother. She’s been a mistress for more than ten years and finally became the legal wife four years ago. That was why she named her daughter Rong Yi, which sounds like the word easy. She hoped that her daughter would have an easier life.
So what if Lu Yue was good looking?
Wasn’t she the winner now? Who still remembered Lu Yue? Everyone only knew that Mrs. Rong was her.
It was she who lives in a big villa, commands servants, and lives the life of a rich wife.
In the same way, what if Rong Xuan was prettier than her daughter? With her watching, the final winner in life would definitely be her daughter, not Rong Xuan. Even if Rong Xuan climbed up the Gu family, this engagement would be ruined sooner or later.
At this time, Rong Yao walked over. He was nearly fifty years old but still looks elegant. In the beginning, it was his good-looking appearance that made Lu Yue fall in love with him.
He didn’t look at Rong Xuan and just said lightly, “Dinner has begun, let’s go.”
The dinner at the engagement party of the century was naturally very good. Sumptuous dishes and fine wine flowed like water. The band was playing wonderful music and the atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful.
Although everyone had their own concerns, at least the dinner was enjoyable and lively.
Finally, once dinner was over, everyone headed back to their respective homes. Elder Lu suddenly said, “Let Xiao Gu take Xiao Xuan home. They can get to know each other more on the way.”
When Rong Yi heard this, her nails dug into her palms. Ji Ning, on the contrary, kept her expression unchanged, maintaining the demeanor of Mrs. Rong.
Father Gu and Mother Gu thought Elder Lu’s idea was a good one. The two children were engaged anyway. They had never met before so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get familiar with each other now.
Mother Gu looked at her youngest son and said gently, “Son, will you send Xiao Xuan home?”
Gu Ye glanced at Rong Xuan who was standing docilely not far away and clicked his tongue. “Alright.”
———
Gu Ye was not yet eighteen so it was the chauffer who drove. He was just accompanying Rong Xuan home.
The space in the back seat of the Bentley was quite spacious and there was sufficient distance between Rong Xuan and Gu Ye.
Today’s engagement party might seem like nothing, but in fact, Rong Xuan, as one of the main characters, still felt a little tired.
As soon as she crossed over, she was in a state of chaos, along with the applying of the medicine and sorting out the plot. Before she could fully react, she arrived at the hall where the engagement party of the century was being held. There’s also a small episode at the middle of the ceremony and it almost didn’t go smoothly. After it was over, the stepmother and half-sister came to make their presence known. It can be said that she was spinning nonstop in the past few hours that night and didn’t even have time to rest.
Peaceful music filled the car. And perhaps because she was really tired, or perhaps because the music was too relaxing, Rong Xuan unknowingly fell asleep.
Gu Ye heard the regular breathing coming next to him and turned his head to look, only to find that Rong Xuan had fallen asleep with her head leaning against the car window.
For some reason, even inside the car, Rong Xuan still didn’t take off the obtrusive veil. Gu Ye originally wanted to remove it. He raised his hand, but in the end, brought it back down.
Although he wasn’t a good person and did things as he pleases, he didn’t want to do anything in bad taste.
They’ve been engaged for almost half a day but he still didn’t know what his fiancée looks like. He’s probably the only one like this in the whole world.
It was unknown if Rong Xuan noticed Gu Ye’s movements in her sleep, but she suddenly woke up from her dream.
She blinked slowly, wondering where the car was now.
At this time, the driver in front asked, “Young Master Gu, where are we going now?”
Gu Ye was a little irritated. He took out a lighter and played with it in his hand. “To her house.”
The driver paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously, “I know, but where is your fiancée’s house?”
Gu Ye gave a low curse. It might because it’s too hectic just now. His parents didn’t actually tell him where Rong Xuan’s house was and it probably also slipped off from their minds.
As for him, how could he possibly remember to ask such a thing?
Gu Ye raised his dark eyes. Under the dim light, they were bright and deep, as if they were hiding a sea of stars. “Where’s your home?”
Rong Xuan froze after hearing this question.
She wasn’t the other Rong Xuan and didn’t know everything about her. She had no clue where the Rong family lives.
Rong Xuan was stunned for a long time and Gu Ye mistakenly thought she wasn’t telling him because she couldn’t speak. He extended his palm and said, “Just write it on my hand.”
The driver thoughtfully turned on the interior lights.
Rong Xuan looked at the hands with long fingers in front of her. Under the warm yellow light above their heads, this hand glowed like warm jade. With Gu Ye’s urging gaze, Rong Xuan pursed her lips and slowly wrote three words on it.
‘I, don’t, know.’
In order to let Gu Ye see clearly, Rong Xuan wrote slowly. Her tip of her finger was warm and soft, as if a feather gently scratching on Gu Ye’s palm.
This feeling was so strange. Gu Ye had never experienced it before. How could any girl dare to write on his palm before? And even if someone really dares, it didn’t mean he would let anyone do so.
But facing this little mute who couldn’t speak, he took the initiative to extend his palm. At this moment, his palm was itchy and tingling so his fingers instinctively curled up, accidentally touching Rong Xuan’s finger.
Rong Xuan raised her head in surprise after Gu Ye’s fingers touched hers. Through the thick lace, she couldn’t clearly see the expression on his face.
So, did Gu Ye understand her words?
