Anyone who has had such a first love will not be able to let go easily.
"Sister Fanyan, you look so beautiful today." Yun Suiwan praised without reservation.
Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "If you have the makeup artist do this whole process for you, you'll be prettier than me."
Seeing her pick up the lace gloves on the table, Yun Suiwan took the gloves and patiently put them on her.
"Sister Fanyan, I'm relieved to see you happy."
Gu Fanyan understood what she meant. "I'm quite happy being with Murong Mo. I think I should start a new life."
"Mm." Yun Suiwan nodded.
Her idea is good, but I'm afraid reality won't live up to her expectations.
Yun Suiwan was on Gu Fanyan's side and didn't want her to be deceived by appearances, so she said, "I just saw Murong's mother and Murong's relatives go into another lounge. The atmosphere didn't seem very good. I wonder if something happened."
Gu Fanyan was stunned.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the lounge on the other side was indeed very serious.
"Auntie, why didn't the Gu family tell us about this?" The one who asked the question was Murong Tong, Murong Mo's cousin.
The Murong family attached great importance to this engagement ceremony, not only holding it at Gu Fanyan's parents' home, but also inviting many relatives who were rivals of the Murong family.
For example, there were Murong Mo's uncle and his family present.
Murong Tong is 30 years old this year, married, and quite capable. She has a voice in the Murong family.
Murong's mother frowned and remained silent.
Murong Tong continued, "To put it bluntly, they are afraid that if they tell the truth, Xiao Mo will look down on Gu Fanyan, and the Gu family will be inferior to our Murong family."
"But Gu Fanyan is messing around with other people at such a young age. Whether she will be able to have children in the future is unknown!"
"The Gu family has already deceived us by doing this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Mo pushed open the door and walked in, his expression also very serious.
“Xiao Mo…” Murong’s mother opened her mouth.
Murong Mo nodded. "I know everything."
"Xiao Mo, you received a text message too?" Murong Tong asked. "Is the content of your text message the same as ours?"
Murong Mo took out his phone and handed it to her.
She also took out her own phone and compared the two, and sure enough, they contained the same content.
Several years ago, Gu Fanyan had an ambiguous relationship with a man, had a child, and even had a miscarriage.
Also attached were the original examination reports and surgical records.
Similar rumors had been circulating before, and this information confirms that the rumors are true.
"Xiao Mo, what do you think about this?" Murong's mother asked.
Murong Mo shook his head: "That's in the past. Who doesn't have a past? I believe Fan Yan truly wants to be with me."
"Xiao Mo, don't let Gu Fanyan's beauty blind you!"
Murong Tong immediately objected: "I admit that the Gu family is a large family, and Gu Fanyan is a rare beauty. These are things that ordinary men dream of, but they mean nothing to you!"
“Xiao Mo, Tong Tong is right,” Murong Mo’s uncle said prudently. “If she deceives you now, your wish to be with her for life is probably just a mirage.”
"And the fact that we found out about this scandal in this way shows just how much people hate Gu Fanyan!" Murong Mo's uncle, who had a short temper, added, "A person like that must have some flaws in their personality!"
Murong Mo frowned, displeased: "Uncle, younger uncle, it's my turn to get married now."
He felt that these elders were being too nosy.
Upon hearing this, the uncle shook his head: "Xiao Mo, you can't bury your head in the sand and deceive yourself."
The uncle wanted to stomp his feet in frustration: "You, you! Tongtong is right, you've been blinded by good looks!"
Murong Mo said stiffly, "The engagement ceremony is about to begin. If you don't want to attend, please do so."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Xiao Mo!" Murong's mother, who hadn't spoken until now, called out to him, "What your uncle and younger uncle said isn't without reason."
"Mom! You don't trust Fan Yan either!" Murong Mo was a little agitated.
Murong's mother calmly said, "The Murong family does not curry favor with the rich, but we cannot swallow our pride. What I need is a daughter-in-law who is prudent and kind-hearted. Besides being someone you like, she must also be able to shoulder the important responsibility of raising the Murong family's descendants."
“I won’t make things difficult for Gu Fanyan, but I need her attitude,” Murong’s mother said.
"Mom, what do you want to do?" Murong Mo asked.
“I want to hear her explanation herself,” Murong’s mother said firmly.
Murong Mo's thin lips pressed into a straight line.
"I'll have someone call her over." Murong Tong left the lounge.
At this moment, Gu Fanyan's assistant arrived at her side, first dismissing the makeup artist and other unimportant people, leaving only Yun Suiwan.
He then said, "Miss, the matter has been clarified. Someone sent a text message to the Murong family."
He handed his phone to Gu Fanyan: "This is a screenshot of the text message."
Gu Fanyan held her phone, her wrist gradually trembling.
Yun Suiwan picked up the phone and looked at it, somewhat surprised, but not entirely unexpected.
Back when she sent Gu Fanyan that "mother and child painting", she had already guessed a bit about it.
Gu Fanyan kept the matter to herself, so she pretended not to know.
"You can go out now," Yun Suiwan said to her assistant.
The door had just clicked shut when Gu Fanyan lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
“Sister Fanyan,” Yun Suiwan grasped her shoulder, “you didn’t tell Murong Mo about this, did you?”
Gu Fanyan nodded.
“That’s nothing,” Yun Suiwan said. “It’s your own private matter, and it happened several years ago. It has nothing to do with him.”
Gu Fanyan raised her eyes, her eyes filled with struggle, "But in the end, this can also be considered a kind of concealment."
Yun Suiwan shook her head. "It's not that serious. If the Murong family makes things difficult for you because of this, I think you need to carefully consider whether today's engagement ceremony should continue."
Gu Fanyan remained somewhat hesitant.
Yun Suiwan sensed that she was hiding something, and that this hidden part was something she least wanted to talk about or recall.
"Knock knock." Just then, there was another knock on the door.
The assistant walked in and said, "Miss, Madam Murong sent someone over to ask you to go to the lounge over there."
Yun Suiwan's eyes sharpened: "They've come to interrogate me. Sister Fanyan, don't be afraid, I'll go with you."
Gu Fanyan gradually calmed down, "It seems there's no escaping this hurdle."
She stood up. "Wanwan, thank you, but I want to face this on my own."
"Sister Fanyan..."
“You’re worried they’ll bully me, right?” Gu Fanyan smiled slightly. “You’re the president of the Yun Group. They’ll definitely be more considerate when they see you.”
"They were polite, but I couldn't see their true colors. This didn't help resolve the issue at all."
