Chapter 301: The Fake Heiress (10)
The butler glanced at the bodyguards beside him, and soon several bodyguards surrounded her. Grandma Shen stood in front of Wen Wan and said, "Since she doesn't want to go back, don't force her. If she doesn't want to get married, then she doesn't have to."
housekeeper:"……"
Villagers: Wow, what's this about getting married?
The butler, unwilling to be witnessed by the villagers, continued, "I have no choice but to obey President Li's orders. I pulled Grandma Chen away and took Miss to the car."
Wen Wan is numb.
Is this the new era of organized crime? This is so boring.
Wen Wan pulled Grandma Shen behind her. "Don't touch my grandma. And I said I'm not going. Tell President Li that I already have someone I like. I've only ever had eyes for him. Asking me to marry Lin Baiyu is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Miss, don't talk nonsense. Take Miss away."
Just as the bodyguard was pulling Wen Wan away, Gu Qian appeared, pulled the bodyguard aside, and stood in front of Wen Wan, keeping a close eye on the people around them.
"Why are you here?" Wen Wan asked in surprise.
Gu Qian: "I heard it."
Butler: "Who are you?"
Wen Wan pulled Gu Qian along, "Let me introduce you, Gu Qian, this is my boyfriend. We fell in love at first sight, and I can't live without him."
housekeeper:"!!!"
With a complex look in his eyes, he scanned Gu Qian from head to toe. He was indeed handsome and good-looking, not at all like someone who could be raised in a small village. However, the clothes he wore showed that the boy came from a very ordinary family.
“Miss, you are a rich young lady, and you are to marry a man of equal social standing and a favored son of heaven. You and Young Master Lin are childhood sweethearts and are even engaged. Now that Young Master Lin has returned from abroad, he really wants to see you.”
"No matter how outstanding he is, he's not the person I like. I won't marry him. You can go back now."
The housekeeper naturally didn't want to go back and had the bodyguards take the person away. At this moment, Grandma Shen suddenly fainted, and Wen Wan quickly helped her up, asking, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
In a corner unseen by everyone, Grandma Shen touched Wen Wan's hand, clearly faking it. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, then understood what Grandma Shen meant. So, she unleashed her potential as a future Oscar-winning actress, tears streaming down her face, "Grandma, were you frightened? Gu Qian, quickly take my grandma to the hospital, she needs to go to the hospital."
The housekeeper was about to say something when Wen Wan glared at him. "It's all your fault. You forced us into this. Are you satisfied now? If anything happens to my grandmother, not only will I not let you off the hook, but Xin Yue won't either. You'd better watch yourself."
housekeeper:"……"
The bodyguards nearby didn't dare to stop him. Gu Qian carried Grandma Shen away, and the villagers also criticized the housekeeper, "Grandma Shen is already in poor health and is old. What if you bring so many fierce-looking men and scare her?"
"I think I understand now. You want Xiaoqing to get married? I thought you wanted her to continue being a pampered young lady. What era are we living in? What's that saying again? Free love. How come you rich people are more feudal than us? And so unreasonable?"
"The richer you are, the more trouble you cause."
"And haven't you heard? There was a young woman who jumped off a building because her family was pressuring her to get married. She was so young, it's such a pity."
"Aunt Ergui, have you been watching too many short videos online?"
"The video shows real people and events. Everyone has their own destiny, how can you force them?"
housekeeper:"……"
I'm numb.
We need to quickly take everyone and leave temporarily. We have to report this to General Manager Li. These villagers are really rude.
...
After the housekeeper left, Grandma Shen opened her eyes. "Gu Qian, put me down. I'm fine. I was just pretending."
Gu Qian: "..."
He put Grandma Shen down. "Grandma Shen, your acting was really good." He looked at Wen Wan, whose eyes were red from crying, and said, "Your acting was also very good."
Wen Wan smiled awkwardly, "Well, there's nothing I can do. If I don't scare them, I'll be taken away and forced into an arranged marriage, which will ruin my life."
"But they'll come back again. What will you do then?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"We'll see what happens later. Maybe they won't like me anymore."
After taking Grandma Chen home, Wen Wan thanked and apologized to Gu Qian, saying, "Thank you for helping me, and I'm also sorry for using you as a shield again."
Gu Qian: "I don't mind, but I heard from the butler that Lin Baiyu has a very good relationship with your family. You two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so why are you unwilling to arrange a marriage?"
Wen Wan sighed, feigning sadness. "I used to like him, but he went abroad a few years ago, and he doesn't like me at all. He never answers my calls, and he blocks me when I text him. He hates this marriage, but who knows what's gotten into him and he suddenly agreed to it? I think there might be a conspiracy, otherwise how could he change so much for no reason?"
Gu Qian: "Then you really need to be careful."
"Besides, all I want to do right now is take care of my grandma; I don't want anything else."
On the other side, Mr. Li received a call from the housekeeper and was furious. "This unfilial daughter, she really is an unfilial daughter. I raised her for so many years for nothing, and she doesn't know how to be grateful at all."
Li's mother, standing to the side, said, "Didn't she used to like Baiyu a lot? Why does she suddenly not like him anymore? And she's taken a fancy to a country boy? This is unbelievable. She used to look down on poor guys so much."
Father Li: "Who knows?"
"What about the Lin family? You know, Baiyu, he never seemed to like Xiaoqing that much before, so why is he now insisting on marrying her after coming back from abroad? Besides, Xinyue is our biological daughter, and this marriage should have been arranged for Xinyue in the first place."
Father Li: "Baiyu just doesn't like Xinyue, what can I do? It's not like I didn't let the two of them meet, or that I didn't tell the Lin family the truth that Xiaoqing isn't our daughter, but they've already decided on Xiaoqing. Right now, the most important thing is the marriage alliance with the Lin family. Everything else can wait. Xinyue is our daughter, and I will naturally find her a better marriage partner in the future. Right now, the main thing is to get Xiaoqing back and agree to the marriage alliance."
Li's mother did not refute.
She knew the gravity of the situation, but the thought of her own daughter suffering in the countryside for over a decade or two because of that nanny, while the nanny's daughter was a pampered young lady in the Li family, enjoying the utmost love and pampering from the couple, made her heart ache.
She loved Xiaoqing, but she couldn't help but resent the child who enjoyed the life of her daughter.
Besides, Xiaoqing couldn't tolerate Xinyue at all and bullied her at every turn. Making her leave was a last resort and an unbearable outcome. However, Li's mother also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everything had returned to normal.
Who would have thought that the Lin family's marriage alliance would involve bringing Xiaoqing back? How will she view this daughter then? Will Xinyue have any thoughts about it?
At this moment, Li Xinyue returned. She had already heard about the arranged marriage from the family's nanny. "Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry about my feelings. I don't like Lin Baiyu, so I don't want to marry him. If he can marry my sister, I have no objection, but if my sister is unwilling, please don't force her."
"Xinyue, you are so sensible."
Mother Li held Xinyue's hand and said, "We owed you so much in the past, and we will make it up to you in the future."
Li Xinyue: "It's not my parents' fault. Besides, although my life at my grandma's house was a bit difficult, she loved me very much and treated me very well. I don't resent my previous life."
“But Mom feels sad whenever she thinks about you suffering. That nanny is absolutely despicable. We’ve already called the police, and she’ll be caught sooner or later. She’ll definitely pay the price.”
