Madam Gu's last sentence was quite interesting. Some of her words, whether intentionally or unintentionally, suggested that Wen Ge was not a well-mannered or reserved woman.
This reminder led to criticism of the Wen family as well.
Many people around understood what she said, but no one said anything. The reporters, on the other hand, recorded every word that Mrs. Gu said.
Madam Gu said, "Since Zeyu and Miss Wen's fate is not over, then the Gu family will naturally accept this marriage."
As soon as Mrs. Gu finished speaking, the scene erupted in uproar, and reporters immediately began to take notes.
Gu Zeyu was somewhat surprised, seeing that Madam Gu seemed about to say something, but Madam Gu glared at Gu Zeyu, preventing him from continuing.
She looked towards Wen Ge and Wen's parents.
"I will inform Zeyu's father about the marriage between the two families, and we will visit him soon to discuss it formally."
Madam Gu has now completely accepted the marriage between Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu.
Wen Ge's eyes sparkled with excitement, but she managed to restrain herself.
Wen Ge stepped forward and said to Madam Gu, "I think we can talk about the marriage later. I just wanted to say that I was so sad when my grandparents passed away, and Young Master Gu happened to come and visit and lend me a shoulder to lean on."
"Now that there are bad rumors, we're getting engaged. What will people think of me and the Wen family?"
As Wen Ge spoke, tears began to fall, a mixture of grievance and a sense of pride stemming from being falsely accused of innocence.
Madam Gu squinted at Wen Ge's behavior.
Wen's mother didn't quite understand, after all, what she wanted was to get engaged to Young Master Gu, so that Wen Ge could successfully marry into the Gu family and become the mistress of the Gu family in the future, thus boosting the entire Wen family's economy.
However, Wen Ge refused the marriage offer that was offered to her, which puzzled her mother.
But in Wen's mother's eyes, everything Wen Ge does is right, and everything Wen Ge does is planned, so she is keeping quiet now.
"What does Miss Wen mean?" Mrs. Wen asked.
Wen Ge said proudly, "I am indeed in love with Young Master Gu, but I cannot accept such an ambiguous relationship, nor can my family allow me to accept it. I am sorry to Mrs. Gu."
Madam Gu watched coldly, then suddenly laughed, "Miss Wen truly possesses a remarkable character, worthy of admiration."
"I just don't want the Wen family to be disgraced, and for what was originally a misunderstanding to turn into me being ungrateful for seducing Young Master Gu. I can be insulted, but my family cannot."
Wen Ge's tears fell even harder, but her words remained firm and resolute, "I cannot let my parents, my family, be disgraced because of this misunderstanding. I would rather die!"
Wen Ge wiped away her tears.
Having watched this part of the show, Wen Yi had actually lost interest.
"Second Master Gu, I think we can go now," Wen Yi reminded him.
Gu Huaixu had long lost interest. Leaning back in his chair, he raised an eyebrow at Wen Yi. "Let's go?"
"Let's go back to the Imperial Garden," Wen Yi sighed.
"Today is the day your maternal grandparents are buried," Gu Huaixu reminded him.
Why didn't Wen Yi, such an important relative, attend the funeral?
However, Gu Huaixu's words reminded Wen Yi that her eyes dimmed, and as she lowered her gaze, she kept gripping her sleeves tightly with both hands.
She was nervous and in pain.
“I…I’m not qualified…” Wen Yi said.
"You think that by using your grandparents' situation to get Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu involved, Madam Gu hates being forced into this way the most, and she will definitely have countless ways to deal with Wen Ge and the Wen family."
"You feel that by using this tactic of using someone else to do your dirty work, you are letting down your two elders on this day."
Wen looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, quite shocked by what the other person had said.
She hadn't expected Gu Huaixu to be able to guess her thoughts so clearly.
Before Wen Yi could respond, Gu Huaixu had already gotten out of the car and walked over to Wen Yi's car to open the door for her.
"Get off the bus," Gu Huaixu reminded him.
Wen Yi stared at him in astonishment, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Gu Huaixu said, "If you feel sorry for the two elderly people, then properly send them off and apologize in person. Why are you hiding?"
These words struck Wen Yi's heart immediately.
Gu Huaixu had lost his patience. He bent down, grabbed Wen Yi's arm, and led her out into the courtyard.
After expressing her stance in the courtyard, Wen Ge returned to the house, leaving an awkward atmosphere. Just then, Gu Huaixu led Wen Yi in.
Everyone present focused their attention on the two individuals.
The mysterious Second Master Gu, who has been shrouded in secrecy in Haicheng for so many years, is now making his second appearance in a masked guise. People are both afraid of and curious about this man.
After all, it's too mysterious and its methods are particularly ruthless, but Yutingyuan has a very high status in Haicheng. If it really comes down to a competition, the Gu family is no match for it.
"Wen, Wen Yi..." Wen's mother called out subconsciously.
Wen Yi composed herself, stepped forward and hugged Master Gu's arm, pretending nothing was wrong, "Mom, am I late?"
Mother Wen hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, the ceremony will begin soon."
After speaking, Wen's mother subconsciously glanced at Gu Huaixu.
The memory of that homecoming banquet was still vivid in her mind. Madam Wen was quite afraid of this Second Master Gu. She wanted to greet him, but didn't know what to say.
Gu Huaixu didn't go to see her, and led Wen Yi into the courtyard.
Mr. Wen hurriedly reminded Mrs. Wen that the officiant should finish the funeral first before discussing Wen Ge's matter in detail.
Then came the funeral.
There are many rules here. The coffins of my maternal grandparents were carried from the yard to the burial site, with relatives and friends following along the way, and the funeral host leading the way throughout.
Wen Yi was led by Master Gu the whole time.
She didn't cry, she just walked quietly, occasionally gripping Master Gu's hand tightly.
She didn't look at Master Gu; she just wanted to say that holding his hand like this felt like Ah Xu was by her side.
I even wondered what Ah Xu's funeral was like when he passed away.
Funeral customs in my hometown are definitely different from those in Haicheng.
Wen Yi didn't hear anything further after that. She only saw in the news that the second young master of the Gu family had passed away unexpectedly. The Gu family didn't want to make a big fuss, so the funeral was very simple. They didn't even notify the collateral branches of the Gu family. The Gu family members just kept vigil for a few days.
Ah Xu, were you all alone when you left?
Wen Yi felt a pang of bitterness and pain in her heart.
It was drizzling when my maternal grandparents were buried.
Wen Yi let go of Gu Erye's hand, which she had been holding, and walked to the tombstone.
Wen Yi closed her eyes. "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm sorry."
I'm sorry, I'll make sure you can't even die in peace.
Please don't forgive me.
Please, please don't forgive me!
"At the burial, the family cries!" the host reminded them.
Wen's mother and Wen Ge rushed over and cried, as did the other relatives, who recounted the good deeds their grandparents had done and hoped that the two would have a peaceful journey.
Throughout the entire process, Wen Yi was the only one who watched coldly like an outsider, without shedding a single tear.
