Gu Yihuai hasn't been home for the past few days, and his father doesn't know what he's been up to. Since Gu Nuanxin left, the two have barely spoken.
He knew that Gu Yihuai was dissatisfied with him, but someone always had to be the bad guy. If Gu Yihuai couldn't bring himself to sever the ties of affection, then he, as the father, would have to do it. It was better than ruining both of his children.
Gu's father had been preparing for this press conference for a while. He had already come to terms with it when the matter was first exposed, but Gu Yihuai stopped him from using that method.
He was reluctant to part with her before, after all, she was the daughter he had raised for over ten years. Although she wasn't his biological daughter, he had always loved her dearly and naturally hoped she could marry someone she loved. But things are unpredictable, and now the situation has escalated beyond control. Fortunately, his daughter is sensible and brought it up with him on her own initiative.
Although it was a bit rushed, it wasn't too shabby because I had prepared in advance. I invited everyone I was supposed to, and I didn't plan to tell anyone I wasn't supposed to invite.
Mr. Gu stood on the platform and said with a smile, "Thank you all for taking the time to come."
"I've invited everyone here today to announce my daughter's marriage." Although Mr. Gu hadn't been in charge for a long time, he was still a man who had seen many ups and downs, and his voice was full of energy.
“I am aware of some rumors circulating recently, which sound absurd. I originally did not want to pay attention to them, but the matter has escalated and become a hot topic, seriously affecting the reputation of my Gu family. I have no choice but to come forward and make a statement, hoping that everyone can bear witness for my Gu family.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "My daughter and the young master of the Xu family have been engaged for a long time, and the two are in love. They had already exchanged their birth dates and times. However, as the wedding date approaches, she has been maliciously slandered and her reputation has been ruined. Neither the Gu family nor the Xu family can tolerate this."
He waved to Uncle Liu, who was standing to the side. Uncle Liu, receiving the signal, took out several sheets of paper from a locked wooden box on the table, unfolded them, and placed them on the table below the stage.
"This is the marriage contract signed between our ancestors and the Xu family. Another one is the marriage contract between my daughter and Mr. Xu. And there's a gift list that the Xu family sent us recently. They all have date stamps on them. You can take a look," Mr. Gu said, pointing to the several papers on the table and introducing them to the reporters and family heads sitting down.
The crowd below erupted in uproar upon hearing his words, gathering around the few sheets of paper to examine them closely, while numerous reporters took photos with their large cameras.
"Today there is something very important to announce..." Gu's father was positioned directly opposite the door, and he had only spoken half of his sentence when he saw Gu Yihuai standing outside the door.
His lips were tightly pressed together, his face expressionless, and his eyes, as black as ink, were fixed on him. Father Gu's heart skipped a beat; he had come after all. He had tried to keep it a secret, but it seemed he couldn't hide it from him after all.
Looking into his eyes, Gu's father felt inexplicably guilty. Xu's father, standing beside him, obviously noticed as well, and his smiling face instantly froze. Because Gu Yihuai was standing outside the door, and everyone in the room and below had their backs to him, no one noticed him.
"...Indeed, my daughter's wedding with Young Master Xu will be held next month. I would be honored if you could all grace us with your presence and attend the ceremony." Father Gu glanced away, steeled his heart, and finished speaking.
Upon hearing this, the people below the stage hurriedly congratulated Gu's father. Gu's father controlled himself and ignored Gu Yihuai, smiling as he thanked everyone.
Gu Yihuai's eyes darkened upon hearing this. He stared at the two smiling figures on the stage, his face grim. His secretary, Gao, standing beside him, asked cautiously with some concern, "Director, what do we do now?"
He stared at Mr. Xu, whose face was creased with laughter, and said in a sinister tone, "Mr. Xu is probably too idle. Let's find him something to do so he doesn't have to meddle in other people's family affairs all day long." After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Secretary Gao's reaction.
Mr. Gu's eyes kept glancing involuntarily towards the door, and when he saw his son's retreating figure, his heart ached. After all, he was his son, and it was painful for him to see things come to this.
He remained silent for a moment, still unable to bear it, and pulled a black-and-white photograph from his pocket. It was quite old, but the person in it could still be vaguely discerned.
"I believe everyone has doubts about the previous rumors. A few days ago, the newspapers said that Gu Nuanxin is not my biological daughter. Today, I will be frank with everyone about this matter."
"These are Gu Nuanxin's parents, and the one they're holding is her. She was only a month old at the time. I still remember how adorable she looked when she was little... And this is me. My late wife and I happened to be in Nanjing at the time, and it was these two who hosted us."
He found this photo a few days ago in an old book. After Gu Yihuai told him that the old servant of the Yu family had passed away, he went to great lengths to find this photo.
"This girl and her brother are not related by blood. She has had a good relationship with her brother since she came to the Gu family. Even if they did have an affair, it was out of love. So what if I, Gu, raised her as a child bride for my son? Who does it bother?"
Mr. Xu, standing to the side, was somewhat bewildered, wondering why he had suddenly brought this up. He secretly tugged at Mr. Gu's sleeve, trying to hide it from others. "We're here today to announce the wedding news; let's not let things get skewed or make things worse."
Seeing the surprised stares of the audience at Mr. Gu, Mr. Xu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained with a smile, "The relationship between the Gu siblings has always been very good, and it's definitely not as bad as the rumors suggest. That's what Mr. Gu meant, so please don't misunderstand. The wedding between the Xu and Gu families is already being prepared, and we would like to invite you all to attend."
Looking at the crowd below the stage, Gu's father sighed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Yes, I was so angry I lost my mind..."

Soon, news of the impending marriage between Miss Gu and Young Master Xu spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shanghai. Major newspapers published the news in large sections, and photos of the marriage certificate made the earlier rumors of incest between the Gu siblings a joke.
Most of the discussions focused on who harbored such malicious intent towards the Gu family, committing such a despicable act. However, this news was quickly overshadowed by another, even more astonishing piece of information.
The next day, the Ta Kung Pao published an extremely sensational tabloid article. It claimed that Miss Liu from Fuzhou had gotten involved with Du Ershao, a notorious playboy in Shanghai, and the accompanying photo made it hard to believe.
The photo shows the two people embracing each other, their clothes disheveled. If you look closely, the background is a large bed, making it clear that their relationship is definitely real.
Even so, many people are still wondering how Miss Liu, who has only been in Shanghai for a short time, could have gotten together with someone from a scholarly family. These two people seem to have nothing in common.
Just as they were wondering, someone said mysteriously, "You don't know, do you? The patriarch of the Liu family hasn't been seen for a while. Aren't you surprised?"
As soon as someone started talking, everyone slapped their foreheads and remembered: "Oh... Master Liu used to like to drink tea at the teahouse on the north side of the city. It seems like it's been a while since we've seen him. Do you have any news to share?"
The man immediately lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "I heard he committed a serious crime and has been in jail... for a while now."
The onlookers gasped in surprise and asked, "Master Liu seemed to be doing very well just a few days ago, how come he's suddenly in jail? Did he commit some terrible crime?"
"It's said to be a capital offense. It seems the Liu family is about to change... No wonder Miss Liu was able to get close to the second son of the Du family. If this drags on any longer, who will dare to take her? Tsk tsk..." the man sighed.
Everyone sighed, lamenting the tragic fate of such a beautiful woman…
After returning home that day, Liu Weiran was listless and almost completely exhausted. Although the Liu family mansion was still there, after Liu's father went to prison, almost all the servants and young men had run away, and everything in the mansion had been looted, leaving only a wet nurse who had served the Liu family for many years.
Seeing Liu Weiran return disheveled, she hugged her and wept. She had persuaded Liu Weiran to come back from suicide several times.
"Miss, the master is still in prison. If you were to die too, the Liu family would have no hope left..."
"...What else can I do?" Liu Weiran broke down in tears. She was powerless and powerless, just a student. Once her father went to jail, she lost everything. She had no way to rescue her father, nor could she fight against Gu Yihuai. She truly regretted it; she shouldn't have acted rashly and provoked those siblings. Now she had ruined the entire Liu family!
"Miss, why don't you try asking someone else... Oh, that young master Xu? Didn't you say he treated you very well in Beiping? You could ask the Xu family for help; at least that would help you hold on for a while..."
Liu Weiran remained silent. She didn't dare to see Xu Zhishen at all. She was afraid of seeing his disdainful and contemptuous gaze, even afraid of his pity. Her proud self-esteem wouldn't allow her to be so pathetic in front of the person she liked.
“I’ve always thought that Mr. Xu was quite fond of Miss. Why don’t we go and ask him for help? The Xu family has some influence in Shanghai. If we can get Mr. Xu’s help, we might be able to get him out of there. Even if we can’t, we can at least make his life in there a little better…”
These words did indeed touch Liu Weiran's heart.
The next day, she tidied herself up and went to the Xu family to see Master Xu. The gatekeeper was quite polite, telling her to wait outside for a while while he went in to report.
When Xu's father heard that Liu Weiran had arrived, he frowned. He pondered for a moment and said: "I had previously attached great importance to the Liu family. I had thought that if the marriage with the Gu family didn't work out, then a marriage alliance with the Liu family wouldn't be a bad thing."
However, he received news a few days ago that Secretary Liu had been missing for quite some time, apparently because he had committed a serious offense. He didn't want to get involved with the Liu family right now.
"Just say I'm not here, go." The doorman was somewhat surprised. Miss Liu was a frequent visitor, but he had never seen the master dismiss her like this. However, he dared not say anything, and slowly turned to leave, but was stopped after taking two steps: "Wait, from now on, just say I'm not here when she comes."
The doorman understood what was going on and quickly went to the door: "Miss, unfortunately, the master has just gone out, and you probably won't be able to see him today."
After a moment's thought, Liu Weiran said, "Then I'll wait here for Uncle Xu to come back. I have something urgent to discuss with him."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper hurriedly said, "Our master probably won't be back for the next few days. You should go back first."
Liu Weiran wasn't stupid, and naturally knew that Xu's father was deliberately avoiding her. Her heart sank. When had this pampered young lady ever been treated so disrespectfully? Knowing that the Xu family was avoiding her, she had no face to continue the entanglement and returned home in tears.
The news about Liu Weiran had been circulating on and off the streets for months without stopping.
Hearing that Miss Liu had disappeared for a while and then returned to find Young Master Du, who was enjoying his newfound love, he was naturally willing to take her in. Originally, he intended to marry her and make her his eighth wife, but when Master Du heard this, he was so angry that he almost kicked the bucket.
The news of the Liu family's downfall can no longer be concealed. Everyone in Shanghai knows that the patriarch of the Liu family has committed a serious crime. Everyone else avoids him like the plague, but his good-for-nothing second master is eager to bring this troublesome figure home.
He was so angry that he wanted to sever ties with his second son. Du Ershao usually idled away his days and lived off the allowance given to him by the Du family. How could he possibly sever ties with the Du family for a woman? So he didn't bring her home, but found a house outside and kept her as a mistress.
However, Du Ershao's reputation as a womanizer wasn't unfounded; he soon took a liking to another girl. This Miss Liu, lacking any powerful family backing, could only swallow her bitterness. But that's a story for another time…
Gu Nuanxin: I heard that people in Shanghai have been gossiping a lot lately?
Gu Yihuai glanced at her coldly: Including your gossip with Xu Zhishen?
Gu Nuanxin hurriedly waved her hands: No, no... I wouldn't dare...
Let's settle Miss Liu's affairs first; after that, she probably won't have much to do with us anymore.
