I put on gorgeous clothes and stood in the hall of the Hua Jing family. From today onwards, I will receive a new identity-a member of the four great families. How ridiculous.
The first person I'll face is the pampered brother I saw a few days ago, but there's only one brother in my heart, and that's Qu Youfan.
"Xia Zhi, she is your sister, Guo Ling.”Madam Hua Jing pulled my hand and introduced us to each other.
Hua Jing and Xia Zhi's jaws dropped in surprise.""Sister? Are you guys joking? The four great families would never acknowledge a goddaughter outside just because they had to fulfill their promise of marriage.”
Mr. Hua Jing walked over." Xia Zhi, she's not the goddaughter that Mom and Dad acknowledged. She's your biological sister."”
"Are you guys joking? The elders of the four great clans would never admit it.”Hua Jing Xia Zhi shouted.
" No!" Madam Hua Jing shook her head." Do you think that we would have the ability to make the decision to bring our daughter back if the four elders didn't know?"”
" You mean... you mean... No, no, I don't accept it, I don't accept it..." Hua Jing Xia Zhi shouted and rushed out of the living room.
" Summer solstice, summer solstice…" Madam Hua Jing shouted, but there was no response. "I'm sorry, Guo Ling…Xia Zhi…"
" Don't worry, I don't mind…" I don't intend to acknowledge a brother like him, nor do I need him to acknowledge me.
Mr. Hua Jing walked over and hugged Mrs. Hua Jing.""We have to give the summer solstice time. Now that the members of the four great families are waiting for us, we should leave.”
"Yes, Guo Ling. Don't be nervous later. We'll arrange everything.”
"Got it." The current me seemed to be much more stable than before. The nervousness they mentioned did not exist at all, because I understood that I was just a chess piece.
Sitting in the luxurious car, I realized that I really didn't match this kind of thing. I felt like I didn't look like a crown prince wearing a dragon robe. Even if I wore such gorgeous clothes, I knew that they didn't belong to me.
Just as I walked to the door, I heard that familiar voice. It was Fengnan Haochen. His strong voice said,"The daughter of the Huajing family, are you kidding? Where did it come from? Why should I marry her? I won't compromise no matter what." I was shocked. Could it be that my marriage partner was actually him? The heavens played such a big joke on me again.
Madam Hua Jing helped me in. When Fengnan Haochen saw me, he instantly went silent. "Little…little…lackey, why is it you?”
"Guoguo?" The gentle and handsome man was also so surprised that his mouth was wide open. It seemed that this news was really difficult for them to accept.
At this moment, an elder of the Fengnan family walked over and said,""Now, let me announce that she is a member of our four great families, Hua Jing Guo Ling. The bloodline of our four great families cannot wander outside. Although the birth of this child is not known to everyone, the problem of the marriage alliance between the four great families once every 50 years has been solved because of her appearance. Therefore, we have to accept this child.”
"Feng Nan is right. Although the existence of this child violates the rules of our four great families, if it weren't for this child's arrival, the marriage alliance that happens once every 50 years wouldn't have happened.”The elder of the Xue Yin family said!
" Little sidekick, you're from the Huajing family…" Fengnan Haochen looked at me in surprise.
I lowered my head and didn't look at him. I thought he must be even more disappointed. It was fine if he couldn't accept a wife he had never met before, but he didn't expect that the candidate for that wife was the toy he had wanted to play with from the beginning.
"No, how could Guoguo be involved in this? I don't believe Guoguo is willing." Xue Yin Yiwen said. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. I also looked at him with a grateful gaze. I was so grateful that I was about to cry. He understood my heart. He knew me!~!
"Why not? Who didn't want to have a relationship with the four great families? Her intervention could not only make her rich for the rest of her life, but it could also make her family shine. Why wasn't she willing? Am I right? Miss Guo Ling?" It was an enchanting and extremely charming woman with a graceful figure and a sweet voice. Even I didn't dare to look into her watery eyes for fear of being electrocuted.
"Feiyang, our Guo Ling is not like what you said.”Madam Hua Jing came out to defend me. Feiyang? She was Feiyang? Was that the person that Snowy Yiwen loved?
"Chen, do you like a wife like this? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with such a person?”Yue Zifei glanced at me elegantly. I could see the arrogance in her eyes.
"Feiyang, today is the family meeting of our four families. Moreover, it is not up to Haochen to decide whether he wants to marry Guo Ling or not.”Elder Fengnan stood up and said.
"But why must we find such a girl to join our family's marriage alliance? She had not received the education of the family, so she could not take over the family affairs. She could not be the matriarch of the Fengnan family. Why? Didn't they say that they had already agreed to let the Yue Qi clan and the Fengnan clan have a marriage alliance?”Yue Zifei asked as he clenched his fists tightly. I wasn't stupid. From her words, I knew that she liked Fengnan Haochen. That Xue Yin Yi Wen…I looked at him. His eyes were lowered. I didn't need to guess to know that he was very sad. He already knew that Yue Feiyang liked Fengnan Haochen.
"That's enough, Yue Feiyang. Just like my grandfather said, I can't decide who I want to marry. Of course, you can't decide either.”Fengnan Haochen suddenly shouted. But I don't understand. Why didn't he insist on what he said just now? He didn't want to marry into the Huajing family?
"Chen…you actually…Grandpa Feng Nan, I know I can't interfere with the decision of the four great elders, but we weren't discussing just one candidate for the marriage alliance, weren't we discussing Wen Hechen? Why did he have to obey now that he had turned into dust?”Although Fengnan Haochen had shouted at him, Yue Feiyang did not give up on his idea.
At this moment, Yue Feiyang's grandfather stood up and said,""Feiyang is right. At that time, we were sure that Haochen and Yiwen could choose, right? Feng Nan, why did you announce now that Haochen had no choice but to obey?”
Elder Feng Nan sighed deeply." Back then, when we were discussing, no one knew about Guo Ling's existence. Now, the situation is different."”
"No, I don't want to…Why do we have to let Chen Lai marry her? Can't it be Ivan?" Yue Feiyang said.
I watched as Xue Yin Yiwen's face turned paler and paler. How could Yue Qi Fei Yang do this? Did she really not know that Ivan liked her? How could this be? "Can I choose?" I said slowly. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on me. "That's the person I want to be with for the rest of my life. I want to choose for myself.”
"I think this is good. We did choose two candidates at that time, and we let Guo Ling choose herself.”said Elder Fengnan. "Guo Ling, you should rest for today. Let us know when you've decided tomorrow.”
" Qu Jing Guo Ling, you…" Before Yue Qi Feiyang could finish speaking, Elder Feng Nan pulled her back,""Men, take Miss Feiyang away to rest. Don't let her disturb Miss Guo Ling's rest.”Then, Snowy Yiwen pulled Moonrise up and walked out.
"Guo Ling, Elder Feng Nan wants you to rest in the Elder Hall today. We'll pick you up tomorrow.”Madam Hua Jing said.
Mr. Hua Jing also nodded." Guo Ling, you must think carefully. This is a matter that concerns you for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"”
"I know. I'll think about it. Mr. and Mrs. Hua Jing, don't worry. Oh right, please go to my house and tell my parents that I'm fine. Tell them not to worry."
"Okay, we know. Have a good rest.”
Sitting on the chair, my mind was blank. I raised my head and saw Fengnan Haochen standing in front of me. "Why haven't you left yet?"
"You call them Mr. and Mrs. Hua Jing? It seems like it's as Wen said, you were forced.”Fengnan Haochen didn't answer me and said himself.
I glared at him unhappily. Go away."
"Yo, little sidekick, now that you've become a member of the four great families, you're talking big.”Fengnan Haochen said sarcastically.
"What four great clans? Hmph, go away, stay away from me." I stood up unhappily and pushed him away.
He grabbed my shoulder and looked down at me."Do you want to choose literature? Am I right?"
I looked up and saw that his expression was actually very serious. He wasn't as sloppy as usual. "I chose him…You…should be happy. You hate me so much.”
"I don't hate you." he said as he grabbed my shoulder.
"Right, you don't hate me. You just treat me as a toy and play with me for fun. I'm crazy to choose you.”With that, I ran out of the room and hid in the flowers. I saw Fengnan Haochen chasing after me." Little follower, little follower…Where are you? Little sidekick." When he's far away, I'll come out of the bushes and not let him find me.
I asked for the whereabouts of the servants, Yue Qi Fei Yang and Xue Yin Yi Wen, and followed them to their location. They were in a small side hall. I quietly walked to the window and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Ivan, Ivan, you have to help me, okay?”Yue Feiyang said as he tugged at Xue Yin Yiwen's clothes.
"Feiyang, no one can make the decision on this matter, do you understand? That's Guoguo's decision. Be obedient and stop making a scene, okay?”Xue Yin Yiwen carefully comforted him. His eyes were filled with love and panic. He was someone I had never seen before. The him I had seen was gentle and calm. Perhaps only Yue Qi Fei Yang could make him reveal his true nature.
" No, no, Ivan, you can do it, you can do it. I know, I've done my research. That girl likes you. As long as you treat her well and tell her that you want her, she'll definitely choose you. Ivan, help me, Ivan…" Moonrise said excitedly. But how could she be so selfish? She must have known that Xue Yin Yiwen liked her. How could she say such a thing?
"Feiyang, do you…really…love Chen this much?”Xue Yin Yi Wen said with difficulty.
"Yes, yes, I want him. I don't allow him to be with other women. I don't want other women to have him. Evan, can you help me? Help me! You've always helped me since I was young. No matter what, you'll definitely help me solve it. You must do it this time too. Please, Evan." Yue Feiyang was about to kneel on the ground when he was pulled back by Xue Yin Yiwen.
Xue Yin Yiwen nodded her head in pain." I…understand. I…will…help…you."”I saw tears flowing down from his eyes, and Yue Feiyang let out a sigh of relief and smiled. He hugged Xue Yin Yiwen's neck," Yiwen, you're so good.”
I covered my mouth. How could Ivan do this? It seemed that his love for Yue Feiyang had already penetrated deep into his bones, but was such a sacrifice worth it? I don't want him to be so kind. I won't let Yue Feiyang have his way. Even if I like Xue Yiwen, I won't let him treat me so well because of Yue Feiyang. Since I came here to be a chess piece, why should I think about happiness or not? 'I hate Fengnan Haochen, and he hates me too. I'll be mentally prepared for whatever outrageous things he does to me. I won't be sad. It's decided then…'
I returned to the Elder Hall and saw Fengnan Haochen. He was waiting for me. "Why aren't you resting?"
"Little sidekick…listen to me. If you choose him…"
" Guoguo..." Before Fengnan Haochen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by SnowYin Yiwen who had rushed in. I had never seen him so lost. Only Yue Feiyang could make him lose his mind. "Guoguo, you…you…will you choose me? Can you choose me?"
"What are you talking about? What? Are you crazy?" Fengnan Haochen grabbed his collar.
Xue Yin Yi Wen shook off his hand and walked in front of me."Guoguo, do you like me? If you like me, then choose me.”
"Shut up, Xue Yin Yi Wen."
I smiled faintly." So you can give away the happiness of a lifetime just like that…You two can go out. I want to rest."”
"Guoguo…""Little sidekick…"
"Get out, both of you." I didn't know why I had so much strength to push them out of the room. The feelings in my heart were very complicated, so complicated that I felt like I was about to explode. I almost couldn't take what had happened in the past few days. Also, the conversation I had just heard made me so angry. Moon's selfishness and Snowy Yiwen's irresponsibility for his future.
I didn't sleep the whole night. The next day, I came to these people listlessly and dealt with them.
"Little girl Guo Ling, have you thought it through?”Elder Hua Jing came in front of me and stroked my head. He was my grandfather, but I only saw him after so many years.
I nodded and looked at Fengnan Haochen and Xueyin Yiwen, who were both looking at me nervously.
" Little sidekick…you…" Fengnan Haochen wanted to say something to me, but I didn't listen. I had already made my decision." I choose…I choose…Fengnan Haochen…" After saying that, I lowered my head again, not wanting to see anyone's expression.
"Alright, since Guo Ling made her own choice, we have nothing to say. Yue Qi, go back and tell Feiyang to accept this reality. There is no room for change.”Elder Fengnan walked up to Elder Yue Qi and said. Then, he came to my side and patted my shoulder." Haha…Haochen, you're not allowed to bully Guo Ling in the future, understand?”
"Grandpa, why would I bully her? You must be joking." Fengnan Haochen actually said that he wouldn't bully me. Hmph, he must be pretending to be obedient in front of my lord, but I actually heard the joy in his voice. Why? I don't understand. Is he happy that I'm finally his private toy? You can play with me however you want? However, the price was too high.
"The marriage alliance between the four families that happens once every 50 years is on the seventh of April, which means that there are still more than three months left. From now on, the two of you can start to cultivate your feelings so that you won't be awkward when you attend the gathering together and be laughed at by others.”
"Dad, isn't three months too early for their age?”Fengnan Haochen's mother stood up and said.
Elder Fengnan shook his head." How can it be early?" Guo Ling would soon be 19 years old, and Hao Chen was about to graduate from high school. It was important to enter the family as soon as possible and learn how to be the mistress of the house.”
"But Guo Ling is still young, so she's not suitable to have children. Besides, they haven't finished their studies yet. Having children will affect them.”Fengnan Haochen's mother said again.
"En, I know about that. I've already thought about it. You don't have to worry. Although we'll let them get married, we'll let them live in different rooms and wait for the right time to consummate their marriage. Good ~! It's decided, Guo Ling. After today, you'll have to learn a lot of things, including the history of the four families and all kinds of etiquette. You have to be mentally prepared.”
I nodded. I didn't even think about what they said about consummating the marriage. How could Fengnan Haochen do anything to me? Everything that happened now was like a dream to me. I had no way to control what I should do next, so the only thing I could do was to let nature take its course.
I silently followed Madam Hua Jing and Mister Hua Jing out of the Elder Hall. From today onwards, my fate will change.
"Uncle Hua Jing, I have something to talk to Guoguo about. I'll personally send her back to Hua Jing's house later.”When I was about to get into the car, Xue Yin Yiwen came up and pulled me back.
Mr. Hua Jing looked at us and nodded with a smile.
"What is it?" I looked up at him.
"Why did you choose Dust?"”
"Right now, the little sidekick is my fiancée. Wen, you don't seem to have the right to ask her why she didn't choose you.”At this moment, Fengnan Haochen slowly walked out. "Besides, you don't love her. Why would she choose you?”
"Then what did you mean by what you said last night?”
"Nothing." I glanced at them, then turned and walked away. However, he was pulled back by Fengnan Haochen.
"Wen, you can leave. There's no way to change the outcome now. There's no longer any obstacle between you and Feiyang. I have something to talk to my fiancée now.”
"Is that so? Even if you're married, Feiyang won't give up on you.”After saying that, he left in a daze.
I flung Fengnan Haochen's hand away." Why are you calling me fiancée?”
"This is the truth, okay? Even if you don't like it, there's nothing I can do.”Fengnan Haochen didn't look as sad as I had imagined. He should be very unhappy that I chose him, right?
"Fengnan Haochen, are you mad at my choice? Shouldn't you be tugging at my clothes and asking me," Why did you choose me? I could have found a better marriage partner, but you ruined it with one sentence. Shouldn't you be doing this?”I imitated his tone.
But he laughed out loud.”
I was embarrassed by what he said. He had called me stupid and an idiot since the beginning, but now he said I was cute?
"Are you sick? Why are you smiling so happily?" I asked him doubtfully. He turned hostile like flipping through a book. It was hard to say that he was smiling happily now, but he immediately made me cry for my parents.
"But to be honest, I'm really curious why you chose me. Yesterday, didn't you say that if you choose me, you're sick? You're the sick one, okay? Where was he sick? Let me, your fiancé, take a look." As he spoke, he hugged me and touched my face, making several servants look at us.
"Hey, stop fooling around. Someone is watching.”I hurriedly pushed his hand away and stayed away from him.
He shrugged." Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Anyway, there are still many opportunities to tease you. Tell me, I'm listening."”
Thinking of this, I felt disappointed again. I remembered that Snowy Yiwen had actually done that for the sake of Moonsoar. "Do you know why Ivan came to me yesterday and asked me to choose him? If I marry him, even if he treats me well, it will be fake. Moreover, I don't want to see him sell his happiness for Yue Feiyang. How can he be so weak? If I choose you, then I can give up.”
"So you chose me because you're thinking of him in every way?”Fengnan Haochen's words were mixed with anger. I couldn't help but look at him. His face was ashen.
I frowned as well. I already said that this guy's temper was unpredictable. See, I was right. "That's not true. I've thought about it. You hate me and always like to mess with me. I'm used to it. If you have someone you like after we get married and something happens between you and her, I won't make things difficult for you.”
"But if you marry Wen and he has an affair, you'll be sad, right?”He pulled my shoulder and asked.
"You…Why are you so angry? I…I have also…thought about you.”Seeing his angry eyes, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Qu Jing Guo Ling…you…you…you slow-witted idiot.”Fengnan Haochen shouted at me and left.
"Fengnan Haochen, you're the idiot, hmph!”However, what I don't understand is why he scolded me and why he was so angry. I'm really thinking for him.
I scratched my head. I couldn't understand no matter how hard I tried, but I realized an important problem. After being disturbed by this fellow, my originally depressed mood actually became a little more cheerful. I was no longer anxious because I had entered this unfamiliar environment. The anger he felt from Yue Feiyang's selfishness seemed to have mostly disappeared. It seemed that choosing this guy wasn't that bad. At least he made me less lifeless.
