The night before her daughter's death, Bai Shuyu was still desperately calling Gu Hongrui's phone, but all she got was "The number you dialed is unreachable."
Her daughter eve...
On the other side, the Gu family.
Gu Qinrou sat on the sofa without saying a word.
Father Gu's eyes fell on his daughter. He was helpless, but also filled with a bit of heartache: "Qin Rou, you still don't explain clearly. What are you going to do about this matter?"
Gu Qinrou moved her body and looked at her father. She said aggrievedly, "What do you think I should do now?"
"Dad, I worked so hard to preserve the reputation of our Gu family. Now you think I made a mistake by agreeing to the marriage, right?"
Gu Qinrou looked at her father with grievance. She looked ugly, and even her heart was filled with grievance.
"That's not what I meant, but Qinrou, you've seen it too. There are some things between us that really need to be clarified, right?"
Father Gu's eyes were filled with embarrassment: "What they say outside is very unpleasant. Even if I want to pretend not to hear it, I can't!"
"So is this my problem?"
Gu Qinrou stood up from her chair and looked at her father. "I have also paid a lot for the Gu Group. You can see it."
"Dad, this engagement party is ruined. Can't you bear the Gu family being talked about by outsiders?"
Gu Qinrou sneered and looked at Father Gu: "What about me?"
"Now I'm being mocked by the outside world as a slut that the Huo family doesn't want. Who do you think I should go to for justice?"
"Qin Rou, you know that's not what I meant. You are my daughter. How can I not feel distressed if people say bad things about you?"
"I'm saying this in front of you now because I want to know what you really think!"
"If you can't swallow this, then I will take you to the Huo family and have a talk with them!"
Gu Qinrou looked at her father with a cold look in her eyes: "Okay."
"What?"
Father Gu was stunned. He looked at Gu Qinrou and heard her words: "I said, okay."
Gu Qinrou stared at her father with a solemn look. She curled her lips and said, "Dad, you know that my reputation has been ruined by the Huo family. Since you want to explain it clearly, I will do as you say!"
"Let's talk it out between the two of us. I don't believe that the Huo family can't give us an explanation for this matter!"
Gu Qinrou turned and walked out of the house. Father Gu watched her leave and hurriedly chased after her: "Qinrou, Qinrou, wait a minute!"
Gu Qinrou paused, her eyes falling on her father: "Why, don't tell me you're not willing to do it now?"
Father Gu glanced at Gu Qinrou, his eyes filled with helplessness, but he couldn't say the words of refusal.
"Okay, since you want to go, I won't stop you."
Father Gu took a deep breath, looked at his daughter and said, "Qinrou, let's go."
The car quickly drove out of the house.
When they arrived at the Huo family, Gu Qinrou was about to get off the car, but she paused when she heard what her father said.
"Qinrou, when we get to the Huo family later, please don't say anything and let me handle the matter first, okay?"
Gu Qinrou's eyes fell on her father. She curled her lips and said, "Dad, if I listen to you and do what you say, I'm afraid I will be truly powerless!"
She took a deep breath, got out of the car and walked straight towards the Huo family.
The housekeeper also hurried into the house and quickly told the Huo couple the news that Gu Qinrou had arrived.
The two of them quickly stood up to greet them.
"Qinrou, why are you here suddenly?"
Mother Huo's eyes fell on Gu Qinrou and said to her, "Originally, we should have gone to your house to apologize."
"Aunt, Uncle, you are right."
Gu Qinrou stood there with a fake smile, her eyes fixed on Huo's mother: "You really should come here to apologize. You should have heard the rumors outside by now."
"Yes, this matter is our fault."
Mother Huo smiled dryly, looked at Gu Qinrou and said, "Qinrou, I have discussed this with your uncle. I was planning to go to your house, but I didn't expect you to come here first."
She looked at Gu Qinrou, and Mother Huo said nervously: "We will agree to whatever you want to say to us, Qinrou, as long as you don't get too angry."
"Since Jiaqi doesn't like me, then so be it."
Gu Qinrou curled her lips: "He shouldn't have stepped on me and ruined my family's reputation!"
"Aunt, Uncle, I still hope you can give me an explanation for this matter!"
Gu Qinrou stared at them intently. After the Huo couple exchanged glances, it was Huo's mother who asked first, "Then Qinrou, what do you want to say?"
"Just ask! We'll do our best to help you."
Gu Qinrou thought for a moment, and Mrs. Huo waited patiently. She was about to speak, but was interrupted by her father the next second: "Qinrou, stop messing around!"
Gu Qinrou looked up and her eyes fell on her father: "Dad, is it necessary for you to say this now?"
Father Huo stood up, looked at Father Gu, and said with an apologetic smile, "Old Gu, Qinrou is right. These things were caused by my unfilial son. Since she wants an explanation, I am willing to give it to her!"
"Old Huo, this matter happened because our two families wanted to form an in-law relationship. Huo Jiaqi did go too far, but my Qin Rou is not without problems either!"
"dad!"
Gu Qinrou frowned and was about to speak when her father said, "Shut up!"
"Old Huo, Qin Rou has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If Jia Qi doesn't want to get married, the worst that can happen is that we can just be friends again."
"However, for the sake of my daughter's reputation and the company's reputation, I still need to trouble you to issue an announcement."
Father Huo's eyes fell on him: "Of course."
He said with a smile: "Besides, my wife really likes your daughter. Old Gu, since we can't be in-laws, why don't you let your daughter be our goddaughter?"
Gu Qinrou was stunned. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Father Gu also set his eyes on Father Huo: "Old Huo, are you serious about what you said?"
"I've already said all these things, could it be true?"
Father Huo looked at Gu Qinrou with a smile. Mother Huo, who was sitting beside him, also stood up and looked at Gu Qinrou and said, "I have always liked this child Qinrou. Now that I hear my old Huo make this request, I think it is a good idea."
As Mother Huo spoke, her eyes fell on Gu Qinrou: "I just don't know if Qinrou is willing."
For Gu Qinrou, this opportunity is one worth cherishing.
Her eyes fell on Mrs. Huo, and after thinking for a moment, she agreed: "Of course I do!"
