Chapter 1138: Proposal
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the pieces of paper on the ground and paused for a moment before saying, “It’s useless even if you tear this divorce letter. I’ll leave another letter in the Zhou Family.”
Hong Xiaoxi’s voice stopped abruptly. She looked at him in disbelief and cried, “I’ve already begged you like this, but you’re still indifferent? Must you divorce me? Gu Xiaoxi, didn’t you hear how that woman outside scolded me just now? I’ll die if I stay here.”
Gu Xiaoxi looked at her steadily. “You’re the one who caused all of this.”
“B-But you promised my father that you would take good care of me. My father entrusted me to you. How can you not care about me?” Hong Xiaoni cried until her face was smudged. It was as if she was grabbing the last chance and urgently moving Father Hong out.
Yes, as long as she mentioned her father, Gu Xiaoxi’s heart would definitely soften. That was his savior.
“He saved my life. You took my life. It’s paid off.”
“No, you didn’t pay it back.” Hong Xiaoni shouted hoarsely. “You’re still alive and well, but my father is dead. How can this be considered paying it back?”
Seeing that she seemed to have gone crazy, Gu Xiaoxi shook his head slowly. “If you think so, I can’t do anything about it. When I die in the future, I’ll apologize to your father.”
With that, he turned around and left without looking at Hong Xiaoni again.
Hong Xiaoni panicked and hurriedly crawled forward. “Don’t go. Gu Xiaoxi, don’t go. Don’t leave me behind. I was wrong. I’ll change. Don’t go…”
Gu Xiaoxi did not turn back. From now on, he would have nothing to do with Hong Xiaoni.
Hong Xiaoni’s voice was so shrill that everyone outside the courtyard heard it.
Shao Qingyuan saw how straightforward he was, but he still exhaled slightly. “Let’s go.”
The two of them strode out of the Zhou family’s courtyard. They could vaguely hear Eldest Aunt Zhou scolding again, “What are you howling for? Are you mourning? Your uncle isn’t dead yet…”
It was no longer their business to say anything else.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Xiaoxi returned to the Gu residence and began to discuss the matter of Chang Yaya.
Gu Xiaoxi definitely had to go to the Chang family to propose first. Currently, Chang Yaya did not have any relatives by her side. It was just that her current situation was a little special, so she still had to ask the Chang family head to propose marriage.
Therefore, that afternoon, the four of them went to the county city to buy proposal presents.
Their departure gave Chief Chang a huge fright.
It was fine if they left, but why did they take Chang Yaya with them? It was not easy for things to calm down. If news of Chang Yaya eloping with someone spread, the Chang family’s reputation would be finished.
Fortunately, an elder advised him, “The Gu family’s house is still there. If Gu Xiaoxi wants to leave, he will definitely sell it. He probably has something on and will leave temporarily. There’s no hurry.”
“If he had something to do, why did he bring Chang Yaya along?”
This elder didn’t know.
However, at night, the four of them appeared at Chief Chang’s house.
Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya had changed into brand new clothes that they had bought from the tailor shop in the county.
Gu Xiaoxi had used his 50 taels of silver to buy the clothes. After all, he was going to propose. She couldn’t possibly wear clothes that were filled with patches.
He was still carrying a lot of things in his hand. When Chief Chang saw this, he was extremely surprised.
When he saw Chang Yaya looking at Gu Xiaoxi shyly, he suddenly realized what was going on and was overjoyed. He hurriedly invited them in.
