Chapter 32 Wu Yueyue
"Sister Wu, Sister Wu, my brother has come to the Lin family to propose marriage!"
Gu Lin'er trotted over and rushed into Wu Yueyue's boudoir, panting and shouting.
"What did you say?" Wu Yueyue looked at the little sister of the Gu family in shock. The teacup in her hand tightened unconsciously, and the lid of the cup left deep marks in her hand.
Gu Lin'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and said anxiously, "My brother went to the Lin family to propose marriage this morning, but the Lin family rejected my brother and refused to marry Lin Yuxi to my brother no matter what."
"What's going on with Lin Yuxi? Wasn't she in love with my brother before? Why did she suddenly change her mind?"
Wu Yueyue's face suddenly changed, and anger rose in her chest.
"The daughters of these wealthy country gentry love to put on airs and act pretentiously. They really think they are the daughters of a rich family. My brother went to propose marriage but was rejected. This is really unreasonable."
Gu Lin'er said indignantly.
Wu Yueyue didn't expect the Lin family to reject the marriage. Thinking of the blow that Brother Qingyun might have suffered, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart and asked worriedly, "How is Brother Qingyun now?"
"My brother locked himself in the study and never came out." Gu Lin'er was a little depressed when talking about this. His brother was so capable, but he was looked down upon by others. It was really too much.
Wu Yueyue's heart tightened. She knew that the Lin family was one of the most powerful in this small town. Although Gu Qingyun was smart and capable, he was just a poor scholar after all. It was not surprising that he was rejected. But when she thought that it was her brother Qingyun whom she had been thinking about but could not get, she felt sad, upset, and a little indignant.
Without hesitation, she put down the teacup in her hand and clapped her hands: "Let's go see him."
"Stop!" An old lady with white hair pushed the door open and walked in. "It's already this late, why are you not allowed to go anywhere?"
"Grandma," Wu Yueyue said hurriedly, her face turning pale. "I... I just want to say goodbye to Brother Qingyun! Grandma, please let me go! Please! Please!"
Mrs. Wu looked at her granddaughter, who was in tears, and finally sighed and said, "What a bad fate!" She compromised and said, "Forget it, let's say goodbye properly!" She thought of something and reminded, "Remember your identity, and don't say anything you shouldn't say!"
"Yes"
--split line--
In the Gu family's study, Gu Qingyun was sitting alone at the desk, looking pale and haggard. He looked up and saw Wu Yueyue and Gu Lin'er coming in, and forced a bitter smile.
"Brother Qingyun, don't be too sad." Wu Yueyue walked over and comforted him softly.
"Yueyue, you're here," Gu Qingyun reluctantly greeted her with a dry smile, "I thought Yuxi and I were in love, but I didn't expect that she would reject me. I overestimated myself."
"Maybe Lin Yuxi has some difficulties." Wu Yueyue tried to defend Lin Yuxi, "After all, she was very nice to you before."
"Hardships?" Gu Qingyun sneered, "No matter how many hardships she has, it can't be a reason for the Lin family to reject me. I, Gu Qingyun, am not the kind of person who will pester you, but this matter does make me a little disappointed."
"Brother, you are so outstanding, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?" Gu Lin'er said indignantly, "If Lin Yuxi doesn't want you, there will be someone who does."
"That's true, but I still feel a little unwilling." Gu Qingyun sighed, "No matter how hard I try, I can't match the power of the Lin family."
Wu Yueyue struggled for a moment, then looked at Gu Qingyun and said, "Brother Qingyun, if you are willing, I am willing to lend you a helping hand."
