I hadn't expected Shen Weiwei to say something like that.
"I know you've been smitten with Gu Tingshen since you were young, and now that I'm engaged to him, do you hold a grudge against me? But honestly, this wasn't something I wanted."
"If you're willing, I will definitely try my best to persuade my father and make your marriage happen."
That sort of talk might work to fool a little girl, but the Gu Family isn't just any old family where you can switch out the bride or groom on a whim.
Besides, with her dad's nature of not stirring without profit, how could he possibly give up such a juicy piece of meat?
It was two years after I left Shanghai that I stumbled upon the fact that Shen Weiwei had harbored feelings for Gu Tingshen for many years.
Back then, Shen Weiwei was self-conscious because of her family's status and never revealed her feelings. Now that she had finally gotten together with Gu Tingshen, would anyone willingly give up the person they loved?
