"Is this beauty Gu Jiangli, the only daughter of the Gu family? Why are you leaving already? Shouldn't you have something to say?"
Gu Jiangli stopped and looked at the man who had spoken.
She recognized the man; he had appeared in the original owner's memories.
Sun Bai, the eldest son of the Sun family, was Jiang Huaisong's closest friend. In terms of being a playboy, he was even more so than Jiang Huaisong.
Jiang Huaisong curled his lips into a smirk, looking at her with a sinister gaze, waiting for her to reveal her embarrassing situation.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Bai.
Some people were confused and didn't know what he meant.
Another group of people clearly understood the meaning behind his words, squinting their eyes and waiting to see what would happen.
The city lord and his wife were clearly the ones who knew nothing.
"Sun Bai, what did you mean by that just now? The Gu family's congratulatory gift has already been delivered. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Sun Bai cupped his hands and said, "City Lord, the eldest daughter of the Gu family has been in love with Huai Song for a long time, and everyone knows that. Today, she will take advantage of your birthday celebration to propose marriage to Huai Song."

In Qingfeng City, there has never been a precedent of a woman proposing to a man, which is quite shocking.
"This... Miss Gu, is this true?"
The person asking the question was the city lord's wife.
There was already a hint of disgust on her face.
Gu Jiangli was not surprised. The city lord's wife cared most about rules and etiquette, and she hated any behavior that violated the rules.
In her eyes, according to the rules, a woman should be reserved and dignified, and should not be eager to marry.
So last time, she used this method to successfully marry into the city lord's mansion, and her mother-in-law has always looked down on her because of it.
Gu Jiangli knew that Jiang Huaisong had prepared a way to embarrass her, so she wasn't nervous at all.
Just repeat the same act you performed in front of Jiang Huai.
She frowned slightly, feigning a wronged and surprised expression:
"Madam, I... I urge this young master to be careful with his words. Me, proposing marriage to the second young master?! That's utter nonsense."
