Chapter 60 I hope you can keep it a secret for me for now

For a moment, she felt very depressed.

She never expected that Lin Yuan would use such a trick!

I wanted to make him angry, but ended up causing trouble for Gu Yixiao...

It seems... Lin Yuan's rank is indeed very high!

She held her forehead helplessly.

No, she must find Lin Xi as soon as possible and use Lin Yuan’s biological sister to find something to hold against the other party.

Ran Ran and Xia Xiaomo loved surfing the internet, so they naturally knew about their friend being suspected of being a mistress. When they saw Xu Ruochu enter the classroom, they whispered to her, "It's okay, Xiaochu. As long as you don't show your face and don't admit it, no one will know that it was you and Young Master Gu watching the fireworks or sleeping together."

"......" Xu Ruochu shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

But after thinking for a long time, she finally asked for leave to go back for her grandmother.

"Grandma may not be able to accept what my cousin did. I have to go back and accompany her."

The two friends heard her concern, but they did not force her and encouraged her to go home.

Xu Ruchu returned to the Gu family villa. Before she even entered the door, she heard a strange man's voice scolding Gu Yixiao loudly.

He is Lin Yuan's father.

"Where on earth were you the night before last?! My daughter is in the hospital, and you still had the time to watch fireworks with another woman?!"

"Who she is has nothing to do with you." Gu Yixiao glanced at the man indifferently and said lightly, "Also, didn't Lin Yuan tell you about the broken engagement?"

"Ah Xiao! What are you talking about..." Mrs. Gu was stunned when she heard this, "Ah Yuan, are you going to cancel the engagement too?!"

When Xu Ruochu heard Grandma Gu's excitement, she quickly ran in to comfort her.

"Grandma, don't get excited. There must be some misunderstanding here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuan arrived at the scene, followed by the sound of Lin Yuan calmly rescuing the situation.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, you really misunderstood. It was me who was with Xiao that night. Don't be angry, don't blame Xiao."

After that, she came to Mrs. Gu, took her arm, and slowly explained, "The night before last, I sneaked out of the hospital to watch the fireworks with Xiao. Since we played too late, we just found a hotel to rest, so you can't misunderstand him!"

"Axiao, tell grandma, is what Ayuan said true?" Old Mrs. Gu stared at her grandson sharply and asked in a deep voice.

Gu Yixiao was hesitating, and before she could speak, Lin Yuan said, "Grandma, Xiao is a responsible person. If you press him like this, you're putting me in a disadvantageous position. Please don't ask anymore."

"As for the matter of breaking off the engagement, it was just a joke we said. Don't take it seriously!"

Afterwards, she comforted the old lady with a few words and apologized to the Gu family for her parents coming without permission. She did a very good job on the surface.

Everyone relaxed.

Then, she pulled Gu Yixiao into the room and secretly calculated in her mind the time when the cleaning servant would arrive.

She pretended to think for a long time before she began to ask seriously, "Ah Xiao, tell me, were you and Sister Ruchu together that night?"

"Yes! I am with her, but not in the way you think." Gu Yixiao didn't want to hide anything from the person who saved him, so he answered without hesitation and in a firm tone.

"Really?" Lin Yuan asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that grandma will be angry if she finds out? It's not good for you two, a man and a woman, to spend the night in the same room together..."

"We're innocent, what's there to be angry about? Besides, she and I have no blood relationship, so even if there's something wrong, it's normal." Gu Yixiao said, "I hope you can keep it a secret for me for now. The old lady is in poor health. I'll confess to her in person when I have the chance."

Sure enough, the two maids who were cleaning at the door opened their eyes wide in surprise when they heard this. They looked at each other and said nothing, then continued cleaning...

Inside the room, Lin Yuan's eyes moved across his handsome face.

She knew that he really didn't want to be a fake engaged couple with her anymore, so she pretended to compromise and said, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you from everyone. But... what about me? Even if I help you, I can't expose this lie..."

"Don't worry." Gu Yixiao was silent for a moment, then continued, "I'll think of a plan and see what happens on the 1st."

"Take it one step at a time?" Lin Yuan asked with a frown.

"Yes!" Gu Yixiao nodded. "Let's keep this a secret for now. You go back first. I have to go back to the company too."

"Yeah," Lin Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

Gu Yixiao looked at her departing back, a solemn expression appearing between his brows.

Every day he delays with Lin Yuan means one less chance for him to be with Xu Ruochu.

He must find a solution quickly now, otherwise, it will not be good for both women if it drags on!

Lin Yuan was walking down the stairs. Looking at the worried and nervous look of Old Lady Gu, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly in his heart.

As expected, I still have to manipulate the old lady to delay time...

Seeing that the two children were getting along very well, the elders of the Gu and Lin families quickly regained their composure and sat together talking and laughing.

When Xu Ruchu saw that the two families had reconciled, he planned to leave.

Just as he opened his mouth to say goodbye to a few people, he was immediately stopped by the old lady.

"Chu Chu, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are visiting our house for the first time today. We want to treat you well. You should stay for dinner too."

Since the old lady had asked me to stay, I couldn't be hypocritical anymore, so I nodded and said, "Okay, grandma."

"Quick, Auntie Wang, tell the kitchen to prepare Chuchu, Ayuan, and the Lins' favorite foods." The old lady smiled and instructed the servants, "The more the better."

"Okay, old lady." The maid Wang Ma took the order and left.

Gu Yixiao, who had just walked to the first floor, couldn't help but frown when he heard that the entire Lin family would stay here for dinner.

But since grandma was happy, he couldn't say anything.

The whole family was in the living room chatting and discussing things with the three members of the Lin family. Only Xu Ruchu was playing with Gu Ziyang in the multi-purpose room.

In the eyes of their family, they are the only two children, and children are not allowed to listen when adults are discussing serious matters.

She and her brother are stacking blocks.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open.

The person who came in was Lin Yuan.

Xu Ruochu and Gu Ziyang looked up at the same time and shouted in unison: "Why is it you?"

She was holding a plate of fruit in her hand, and it looked like she had brought it specially for the two of them.

Xu Ruochu noticed that the other party looked serious and looked like he had something to say.

He instantly understood what she wanted to do, so he sent his brother away, told him to go play with the servants first, and then locked the door.

Lin Yuan stood there, staring at her closely, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Sister Ruochu, do you think you can win by taking a few photos for me? I used them to turn the tables and won the victory without having to cancel the engagement for the time being."
