Xu Weilai never expected Mr. Gu Sr. to come to such a decision without even asking either of them anything. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she didn’t dare believe her ears.

Grandpa Gu wanted Gu Yu and her to get married?

Gu Yu, on the other hand, maintained a mask of calm indifference. Even the look in his eyes didn’t change. As if he had been expecting this all along, he smiled humorlessly, bringing with unconcealed mockery with it.

Mr. Gu Sr. didn’t dare to look directly at his grandson at that moment. He simply took Xu Weilai’s hand in his, and asked earnestly, “Little Weilai, don’t worry. Let me take charge of this situation. I definitely won’t allow you to be at a disadvantage. Are you still willing to marry Gu Yu?”

Was she willing to marry Gu Yu?

Xu Weilai could control the wild beating of her heart. She wrung her hands together, and indecision flashed in her eyes.

“Grandpa Gu, I…” she finally managed to find her voice, but because her mind was too jumbled, she wasn’t able to process her thoughts, and momentarily couldn’t come up with a reply.

Or, to put it more accurately, she should have vehemently rejected the notion without any hesitation, but deep down in the innermost recesses of her heart, she still harbored a hint of hope toward Gu Yu.

But before she could organize her thoughts, Gu Yu, who had been keeping silent until now, suddenly stood up. He strode up to her and grabbed her by her wrist. He headed up the stairs and dragged her behind him without any tenderness or sympathy.

He walked very quickly, without caring if she could keep up. Xu Weilai stumbled behind him and almost fell a few times. Combined with the fact that her body wasn’t feeling good, Xu Weilai frowned fiercely in pain.

But she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound as she followed behind.
