“However, Nianci, there is something your uncle still needs to remind you of.”
Xu's father looked at Gu Nianci again, his face becoming more serious.
"Please speak," Gu Nianci nodded slightly.
“You and Xu Yan are getting married soon. You should be focusing on your wedding, not these things.” Xu’s father’s attitude seemed calm, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes. “You should know that your marriage to Xu Yan is very important to your Gu family.”
"If it weren't for the fact that you and Xu Yan have been childhood sweethearts, our Xu family would have to think this over more carefully."
"So your uncle hopes you can put your other thoughts aside."
Do you understand?
After a moment of silence, Gu Nianci said, "I understand."
"But don't you want to know the truth about this?"
"If I really have been married, wouldn't that be a stain on your mother's Xu family's reputation? Don't you want to find out?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu was taken aback.
Xu Yao spoke up, "Dad, I think she's right. I only have one younger brother, Xu Yan, and I don't want him to suffer."
“If Gu Nianci has really been married, then she is not good enough for Xu Yan.”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu's father glared at Xu Yao.
At this moment, Xu's mother suddenly came downstairs and said, "I think Yao Yao is right."
“Our Xu family’s sons must marry a clean and virtuous woman, otherwise we’ll be laughed at if word gets out.”
"Let's investigate this matter thoroughly."
“You…” Mr. Xu looked helpless.
Gu Nianci spoke up, saying, "I think what your aunt and the others said is right."
“Since you’ve all put it that way, then I’ll try to think of a solution.” Mr. Xu sighed. “It’s just a pity that we can’t do DNA testing on the ashes, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.”
“In that case, Nianci, since that Xu Ruo mentioned staying at your house in those diaries, you should have some things about him at home. Go back and look for them carefully.”
"Let's look around here too."
"As long as there are traces, it can always be confirmed."
"However, I still think we shouldn't have too high hopes. This is most likely a prank by someone with ulterior motives. After all, what are the chances that we've all forgotten about this person?"
"Okay." Gu Nianci nodded after a moment of silence.
"Then it's settled. Take the things away first, don't leave them here, it's bad luck to look at them!" Mrs. Xu urged hurriedly upon seeing this.
Gu Nianci did not refuse. After holding my urn and apologizing, she left the Xu family home.
Once Gu Nianci stepped outside, the Xu family members couldn't wait to start talking.
"Is Gu Nianci out of her mind? If so, we really need to reconsider our marriage with the Gu family," Xu's mother said disapprovingly.
Xu Yao echoed, "Yes, yes, Dad, Xu Yan can't marry a lunatic."
"Let's wait until Xu Yan comes back before discussing this matter," Xu's father said.
...
Hearing this, I wasn't surprised at all. This is their true nature—truly prioritizing self-interest. When it comes to interests, all feelings are worthless.
The Xu family truly embodies the saying "the wealthy are ruthless."
But Gu Nianci...
I returned to Gu Nianci's side. By then, Gu Nianci, holding my urn, had already reached the Xu family villa. She still looked somewhat lost and disoriented, seemingly preoccupied with something.
She seemed like a complete stranger to me.
She doesn't resemble her at all.
After all, Gu Nianci shouldn't be someone who is influenced by emotions.
Unless this is the real Gu Nianci.
But is it possible?
If this really is her, I should have warmed her cold heart long ago in the past few years.
All I can say is that the flapping of a butterfly's wings has a truly significant impact.
Just as I was thinking about this, Gu Nianci seemed to have thought of something. She grabbed my urn and ran quickly to the car. After getting in, the car sped away.
Soon Gu Nianci and I arrived at the courthouse.
My heart jumped into my throat at that moment.
