Because of this relationship, even if the old man treats her well on the surface, Wan Ge knows that he is not sincere, so she can't really like him.
However, she still had to maintain a facade, since she couldn't directly escape the Guan family and needed to continue to put on a show.
"By the way, Wan Ge! A Yu is finally back. Why don't you stay home tonight and spend some time with her?"
“No, it’s not appropriate to live at Grandpa Qu’s house before we’ve even registered our marriage. Grandpa Qu, don’t worry, the wedding is just around the corner.”
“You’re right. Then have dinner with me, the old man, and I’ll have someone take you home later.”
"Okay." Wan Ge knew she couldn't refuse anymore, so she agreed to what the other party said.
…
Yun Kuo lay there for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep, so he picked up his phone again and made a call.
"How is the situation?"
A deep voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Miss Guan is currently at the Qu family's residence; the specific details are still unclear."
How did she get there?
The person on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "It's probably because of their engagement. I heard that it was Grandpa Qu who made the call personally, asking Miss Guan to find the person and bring them back."
So they had been keeping an eye on Miss Guan and had been quietly making subtle moves. But what exactly were her intentions? If she simply wanted to be a good young mistress of the Qu family, she already had a marriage agreement and wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
"Okay." Yun Kuo hung up the phone and angrily smashed it.
Because of the engagement? Ha, she's still going to abandon him for that man? I wonder if her sister misses him even a little bit, or regrets kicking him out of the house?
…
"Alright, you're home now. I've completed the task Grandpa assigned me." Qu Xingyu drove him home, but because he had been drinking, he could only sit in the back seat, which he quite liked.
Wan Ge got out of the car and thanked the people sitting inside.
Just as Wan Ge finished speaking, the phone rang. The unusual ringtone and special contact name made Wan Ge hang up without a second thought.
But the other party persisted and continued to call him.
"Why aren't you answering your phone?" Qu Xingyu noticed that she didn't seem inclined to answer, so she couldn't help but ask.
Wan Ge instinctively gripped her phone tighter and softly replied, "It wasn't a very important call, don't worry about it. Thank you for bringing me back today, I'll treat you to a nice meal next time."
"Okay, whatever you say." After saying that, Qu Xingyu turned around and got into the car. After closing the door, the car started moving immediately.
When Wan Ge saw the car leave, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, back in her room, after much persistence from the other party, Wan Ge finally answered the phone.
From the phone number's contact name, Wan Ge immediately knew who had called her.
"Why are you calling me again? Have you encountered some difficulties, or have you forgotten something?"
Hearing her voice, Yun Kuo lowered his head even further: "I just miss you, sister, I miss you so much, I want to see you so much."
"That's enough. I told you not to call me 'sister' anymore. We have no relationship whatsoever. I've been more than kind to you. Please don't bother me anymore."
"Sister, how can you be so heartless? You said before that as long as I go home with you, you will always be good to me."
"I was just trying to comfort you when you were hurt. Okay, don't contact me again if you're okay." After saying that, Wange hung up the phone and blocked his number.
Wan Ge gripped her phone tightly, lowered her head, and tears still welled up in her eyes.
The Guan family kept too close a watch on her. Her relationship with Qu Xingyu was when the Guan family was most relaxed towards her. If she wanted to bring down the Guan family, she had to continue to contact Qu Xingyu.
However… this plan is too risky, and if it fails, everyone connected to her could be in danger. Therefore, Wan Ge is unwilling to let Yun Kuo get involved. The best way is to get him to leave the Guan family.
During his time at the Guan family, Yun Kuo performed mediocrely under her cover. Even Wange found him glasses to cover up his appearance. Therefore, Yun Kuo had no value to the Guan family. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Wange to make him leave.
She can no longer have any contact with Yun Kuo. Once the Guan family discovers and determines that he may be a threat, he will be in danger.
But since he had gone to such extremes, even if he succeeded in the future, Yun Kuo would probably never forgive him.
It's okay, at least we don't have to involve him.
Wan Ge slowly stood up and reached out to wipe away her tears.
Wan Ge had no idea that at this very moment, Yun Kuo was not far from the Guan family's residence, watching Qu Xingyu bring the person back.
She did indeed sever ties with Qu Xingyu because of him, but... he never agreed to it.
…
After leaving the Guan family, Qu Xingyu did not go straight home, but went to the riverbank to meet his friends.
Qu Xingyu took the cigarette offered to him, took a puff, and then heard the person next to him ask, "Are you really going to marry Miss Guan?"
"Of course, it was an arranged marriage since childhood, and marrying into the Guan family was the best choice. Besides, I don't dislike her."
Wan Ge is beautiful, capable, and has a good temper.
Besides her, Qu Xingyu couldn't think of anyone else more suitable to be his wife.
However, because this engagement had bound him for many years, he went abroad to rebel. But in fact, he was just being willful and did not really want to cancel the engagement.
