章節 7: Chapter 7 The Snobbish Family
At that moment, they stood across the street from each other, Mi Yao gazing at Gu Yunsheng, and Gu Yunsheng gazing back at her.
His expression, she would never forget.
His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists, his deep, glossy eyes flaming with intense fire as he glared at her with disgust, anger, and coldness.
She didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.
He had missed the meeting, and to look at her that way, she truly felt disheartened. Her ten years hadn't won even a single glance back from him; instead, his disgust intensified; hence, she chose to give up.
She said nothing and just turned around and walked away.
What she didn't know was that it would be their last encounter.
The next day, she received explosive news. Everyone said, Gu Yunsheng was dead.
Gu Yunsheng had died in his own house in a fierce fight, blood everywhere…
It was said that Gu Yunsheng's body had been cremated. She didn't know because she hadn't gone to see; she locked herself in her room, meeting no one, not believing anything.
She didn't believe that Gu Yunsheng was dead.
She never would!
"Yaoyao, no matter what, Daddy doesn't want you to marry into the Feng Family for my sake. Daddy is old and won't live much longer; there's no need to sacrifice your happiness for my medical expenses."
Her happiness?
Ha, she had lost her happiness long ago, since that day at Queqiao Mountain.
"Daddy, I'm grown up now, not a child anymore. I can make my own choices."
"But…"
Mi Zhenglin was about to say more, but a knock on the door interrupted him, and someone arrived, "Brother, we've come to see you."
Mi Yao turned her head to see; it was Mi Shuilan and her family of three.
Mi Shuilan was Mi Zhenglin's younger sister, who in her younger years had married the businessman Liu Chuan and had given birth to a daughter, Liu Lu, the same age as Mi Yao.
Mi Yao disliked this family of three immensely, including her own aunt Mi Shuilan. When her father used to be the mayor, they often came to curry favor and benefit from him. But as soon as her father lost his position, they avoided him faster than anyone else, nearly severing their relationship with him.
Now that her father was hospitalized, given the Liu Family's current financial circumstances, providing two million was not an issue, but they hadn't contributed a single penny.
"Uncle, this is some fruit we bought for you. We hope you get better soon."
Liu Lu, heavily made up and wearing revealing clothes, placed the fruit basket on the table and spoke coquettishly.
Mi Zhenglin had tasted the coldness of human relationships, even from his own sister. He responded politely twice, "You've spent too much; no need to buy anything next time."
"Big Brother, you're my dear brother. It's only right to buy some fruit. Besides, our Yaoyao is making something of herself now. She's going to marry into the Feng Family and become a young lady there; we'll be counting on Yaoyao to look after us in the future," Mi Shuilan said with a sycophantic smile.
Mi Yao sneered internally. Nothing comes without a reason; her aunt finally revealed her true intentions.
Her father had been hospitalized, and Mi Shuilan hadn't visited once. Now that she was marrying into the Feng Family, this whole family had mobilized, truly showing their mercenary nature.
"Haha, yes," Liu Chuan appraised Mi Yao up and down, "Yaoyao has become more and more beautiful. Truly worthy of the young master of the Feng Family who fancies her."
For some reason, Mi Yao found Liu Chuan's gaze a little lecherous and his words uncomfortable to hear.
"Daddy, I'm going to get you some hot water," Mi Yao, not wanting to speak further with this family, turned around and left.
