This change is truly significant.
"But after thinking about it, I still think I should return it to you. Although you did these things voluntarily, I also intentionally approached you from the beginning. Although the original owner did it for Su Yu, it can't hide the fact that she was despicable."
Nangong Ao's reaction was much more indifferent. He nodded and said, "I already knew that. I didn't expect you to tell me in person."
Lu Qingyan felt that he probably didn't find out about this on his own.
Nangong Ao continued, "It was the man who was with you that day who told me."
Cui Shaoting?
Why is he saying all this to Nangong Ao?
“But he said you had your reasons, and I believed him. I know I have nothing that he should be hiding from me.”
Lu Qingyan sighed as she thought about the affairs of the Nangong and Xu families.
This time, the Xu family didn't suffer any major losses from the dissolution of the engagement, but the Nangong family was severely damaged. Originally, they were of a lower social standing, and only rose to prominence through their marriage alliance with the Xu family. Now, having been betrayed, they've fallen back to their previous state.
It's always easier to add flowers to brocade than to offer charcoal in the snow, and the Nangong family's actions made many people want to kick them while they were down. It was the Xu family who finally spoke up, saying that the two families had been friends for so many years and shouldn't let such a small matter damage their relationship, and that's how the matter was dropped.
“I never had any great ambitions, nor did I want to be seen as someone who rose to power through the Xu family, and consequently, I didn’t like Xu Miaoting.” Nangong Ao spoke frankly, as if he were seriously dissecting his thoughts over the years.
Lu Qingyan listened silently without offering any opinion.
"I never thought that now that this mountain above my head has been removed, I don't feel any relief at all." Nangong Ao turned and left, and Lu Qingyan noticed that his back looked even more upright than before.
In just two months, everything has changed, and the world has turned upside down.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, Lu Qingyan walked in the shade of the trees, avoiding the still scorching sun. The fragrance of the grass and trees under the trees had faded considerably.
She was stopped at the school gate.
The person in front of me stood there straight, dressed in a white suit, holding a large bouquet of blue roses.
Despite the crowds of people coming and going, none of them could overshadow his brilliance.
His gaze fell on Lu Qingyan, and he slowly walked towards her.
I want to propose to you.
The ring in the flower glittered, just like his eyes, leaving Lu Qingyan no room for refusal.
"Why have you been avoiding me all this time?" Lu Qingyan couldn't understand.
"I took care of some things and helped Su Yu find his relatives." Cui Shaoting said it very concisely, but Lu Qingyan knew that it must have been a very troublesome task.
However… Su Yu…
"Isn't he my brother? How can you say that? Aren't his relatives my relatives too?" Lu Qingyan asked.
“If you hadn’t met me, then it wouldn’t be like this.” Cui Shaoting put the ring on Lu Qingyan’s hand and explained to her, “Su Yu is my uncle’s son. He was abandoned because he was born with a heart condition. My uncle wasn’t exactly a good person. He’s done a lot of dirty work. My grandfather cut ties with him a long time ago and kicked him out of the house.”
Lu Qingyan suddenly remembered that noodle shop: "Was that also opened by your grandfather?"
Cui Shaoting nodded.
Lu Qingyan sighed, thinking that she could easily imagine a sweet romance drama about a domineering CEO and a noodle shop girl.
In this life, she was still happy. But even as she approached the end of her life with white hair, she still couldn't understand when her relationship with Cui Shaoting had begun.
