Hua Qisheng refused firmly, muttering decisively, "Gong Yu is different from them, and will always be different."
"What do you mean?" Zuo Yining was puzzled.
"Identity." Hua Qisheng lowered his head, as if trying to convince Zuo Yining, but also as if trying to convince himself, "Mu Nian is the son of the leader, Murong Tianyi is the heir to Dragon and Phoenix Jewelry, but Gong Yu is just the daughter of two laid-off workers in Fengling County. The disparity in their status is simply too great."
"But Gong Yu is very capable." Zuo Yining kindly reminded.
"So what?" Zuo Yining laughed at himself. "In the eyes of those big families, no matter how strong one's own abilities are, they are not as strong as the family's mission. Just like my father and Murong Tianyi's father, although they were good friends, he had to use a respectful title when addressing Murong Zhengwei."
"You will never be able to imagine how strict the hierarchy is among family giants like theirs. Not to mention Gong Yu, even Yan Yanyan, the eldest daughter of the Yan family and Mu Nian's biological mother, was defeated in the family struggle, right?"
Although Yan Yanyan announced to the public that she died of illness, there have long been rumors that Yan Yanyan died of jealousy because of the president's love for her.
Regardless of whether this is true or false, Gong Yu will definitely not be in the eyes of those big families.
"Yining, even if Mu Nian and Murong Tianyi are really interested in Gong Yu, it's just for fun at best. They can't give Gong Yu a name, but I can."
Zuo Yining looked embarrassed: "Young Master Hua, you are also engaged."
"I will cancel the engagement."
"Uncle Hua will never agree to this."
"I've made up my mind."
"Uncle Hua already has a problem with you joining the mercenary group. If you bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement, he'll probably be very angry."
Zuo Yining's words plunged Hua Qisheng into deep pain.
After a long while, he raised his head, his eyes firm: "I don't want Gong Yu to be wronged."
Gong Yu deserves the best treatment.
…
In the highest suite of a hotel.
As soon as Fiona stepped into the room, she immediately turned around and ordered, "Pack your luggage and leave Fengling County. Book the fastest flight, I want to fly back to Baiguo."
Bodyguard: “Yes!”
Suddenly, Fiona seemed to have thought of something and reminded him seriously: "Don't report my return. I want to give His Majesty the King a surprise."
Bodyguard: "Yes."
Fiona entered the room, her face instantly turned pale, her legs went limp, her back leaned weakly against the door panel, she slid down inch by inch, and sat down on the ground in dejection.
Is it her sister who wants to kill her?
The reason why Fiona let Mu Nian go so easily today was because Gong Yu's sudden question made her think of a terrible thing.
In recent years, the health of the King of Bai has been deteriorating. He has needed to rely on medicine to survive and has gradually handed over state affairs to his two daughters. His purpose is to choose a suitable crown prince from among his two daughters.
It was also from that time that Fiona's life became full of danger, and her sister, who was originally close to her, began to gradually distance herself from her.
The reason why she took the initiative to request a visit to Yan Country this time was to avoid her sister.
But, even if she dodges, it won’t work?
Is the position of Queen of the White Country so attractive?
In order to get that position, he would not hesitate to kill her.
…
In Mu Nian's room.
"Niannian, I think this assassination attempt wasn't aimed at Fiona, but at you. What do you think?"
