Having Xia Chuxue marry into the Gu Family is their common goal tonight, isn't it?
Xia Yinian sneered. As granddaughters, is Grandpa really this biased?
Just because Xia Chuxue is obedient and could bring him business benefits in the future, and she, as a rebellious one, can't give him any confidence?
Or is it that he only cares about Xia Chuxue's well-being, while she, Xia Yinian, is nothing but a blade of grass in his eyes?
All eyes were on Gu Lingqian, but Gu Lingqian kept his thin lips lightly pursed, not saying a word, leaving everyone unsure if he was pondering or silently rejecting.
This Young Master Ling, whom she was meeting for the first time, seemed elegant and gentle, yet those profound eyes were always mysterious, completely unfathomable.
Even Old Master Xia, who had lived so many years, could not guess what this young man was thinking.
Just when everyone was holding their breath, waiting for Gu Lingqian's answer, a petite figure suddenly walked past Old Master Xia and the blushing Xia Chuxue, approaching Gu Lingqian.
"Nian Nian, what are you doing?" Xia Chuxue's palm tightened, subconsciously a bit nervous.
Ever since they were young, she had always been better than Xia Yinian in everything except for one aspect that she could never surpass.
And that was the face of Xia Yinian!
Even if Xia Chuxue didn't want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Xia Yinian had the most beautiful face among all the girls in the Xia Family!
She was afraid that Gu Lingqian would be charmed by Xia Yinian!
Seeing Xia Yinian approaching, Old Master Xia's face suddenly darkened: "Yinian, what are you doing? Get out! Don't sully Ling Qian's eyes!"
He didn't even bother to look at her current state! Dressed in a man's shirt, with her legs shamelessly bare beneath it, she looked like a woman who had been taken advantage of by a man!
How dare she brazenly walk up to Gu Lingqian looking like that, does she have no shame?
"I'm still pure," Xia Yinian said, paying no attention to the scolding behind her, her round and crystal-clear eyes fixed unblinkingly on the dignified prince seated on the sofa.
No humility, no unease, and not the slightest bit of guilt!
"I was framed tonight, but I managed to escape! I'm still pure, if you don't believe me, you can have a doctor come to examine me."
"Xia Yinian, have you lost your mind! Go back and reflect on your actions!" Old Master Xia grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her away.
The housekeeper had to come over to help, trying to take Xia Yinian away.
Suddenly, Gu Lingqian, who had been seated on the sofa, stood up and walked towards Xia Yinian.
He walked towards Yinian!
Old Master Xia's grip on Xia Yinian's hand loosen, and the housekeeper also hurriedly let her go.
Everyone in the side hall watched Gu Lingqian, unsure of what he was going to do.
Gu Lingqian walked straight up to Xia Yinian, suddenly raised his hand, and his long fingers landed on her chin, lifting her face: "Pure?"
For the Xia Family, the Gu Family was far superior both in foundation and in power, capable of leaving the Xia Family in the dust.
Therefore, the arrival of Mr. Ling from the Gu Family to the Xia Family was like a visit from imperial relatives to the common folk.
Even if Gu Lingqian's current actions were somewhat disrespectful to Xia Yinian, no one in the entire Xia Family dared to utter a word against him.
Xia Yinian looked up at him; to be honest, she had no feelings for this fiancé she was meeting for the first time and didn't really want to marry him.
But the actions of Xia Chuxue and Grandpa had thoroughly infuriated her.
She would not let Xia Chuxue have the man she wanted!
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can have a doctor…"
"Why go to such lengths?" Gu Lingqian's thin lips curved up, revealing an exceptionally attractive smile: "If an examination is needed, I shall do it personally!"
