Gu Xiali was the princess of the prestigious Gu Family when she fell in love with Su Fengfei. They started dating since they were in university and got married eventually. At first, the Gu Family opposed the marriage but Su Fengfei and Gu Xiali promised that they would rise on their own. And as they promised, they established their own company. They were so obsessed with their company that they sold their only daughter to the Ge Family.
Gu Xiali thought that her decision was right until she heard that her daughter was divorced by her husband because he made his mistress pregnant. She felt like the earth shattered beneath her. She never felt so devastated before. After her daughter died, she even forgot to cry. All these times, she blamed herself. Though he showed her touch expression to everyone, she was broken inside. She knew her husband must be feeling the same but she couldn"t do anything about it. She could do nothing as she saw her family crumbling right in front of her eyes.
She lost confidence in herself. She didn"t want to hurt her only grandson the same way she hurt her daughter. So, she didn"t say anything for whatever decision Ge Chen took in his life. She went to America to clear her mind. Going to see her friend"s grandchild was just an excuse.
After she got a call from her grandson and heard that he got married, her mind went blank for a moment. She quickly wished to meet the bride. She wanted to know what kind of woman her grandson chose. Before the flight, she asked her secretary to get the information about Xue Lin.
After coming back to her home, she unexpectedly encountered Xue Lin. At first, she thought that it was a schoolgirl. However, Xue Lin"s behavior was unusual and she was never treated like this before. Xue Lin completely ignored her. If Xue Lin didn"t nod after seeing her out of politeness, she would dislike her.
But then she heard from her secretary and Ge Guiren was kicked out of this house by Xue Lin. That"s not all, she also went to the Ge Family and lashed out on those hateful people. Only Gu Xiali knew how much she detested the Ge Family members and that sl*t and her ba***rd. She hated Ge Chuan Li more for choosing them over her elegant, intelligent, sweet and innocent daughter and lovely grandson. She hated Ge Guiren even more for using her precious grandson for his own benefit.
When Gu Xiali got the full details of the report and how Xue Lin talked to them, she was in heaven. She never thought that there would be someone who would dare to point at the Ge Family and show them their wrongdoings.
But Gu Xiali was still skeptical about other things. Xue Lin was impolite to her. She didn"t greet or talk to her. Also, Gu Xiali thought that Xue Lin could be a gold digger or could take revenge on Ge Chen for being a member of the Ge Family. After all, the Ge Family forced her to get married either way.
However, while talking to her in the evening, Gu Xiali realized that Xue Lin wasn"t impolite. She just didn"t like to talk and get close to people she didn"t know. Also, if she didn"t like someone, she would express it in her behavior. She wasn"t deceptive. People like that are loyal and simple-minded. It"s easy to hang around people like Xue Lin. She can be trusted since she carries no malice. She has her own world and she is only interested in herself.
Xue Lin tried hard to keep her patience and talked to Gu Xiali politely only because she respected her. Gu Xiali realized that too. She was always good at judging women"s characters.
The more she talked to Xue Lin, the more she realized how unusual she was and somehow, she started to like her simplicity. She loved the part when she is so blunt about things, especially insulting the Ge Family members. She liked her more than she thought she would.
Gu Xiali called out Ge Chen. Ge Chen and Su Fengfei came inside together. Su Fengfei jokingly asked, "Are you done with interrogating the la.s.s?"
Gu Xiali had a composed expression. "You look awfully chummy, dear."
Su Fengfei said, "I thought you loved that about me."
"!!!" Gu Xiali didn"t know what to say. She was out of the country for a few days and her husband was acting shamelessly in front of the kids.
Ge Chen sat down beside Xue Lin and asked, "What do you want to talk about, grandmother?"
Ge Xiali filled her cup and said, "I wanted to talk about your wedding reception. I"ve decided to hold a reception party in two months. Till then, stay here and let Xue Lin take cla.s.ses on etiquette and dancing."
Xue Lin flinched. This was what she was afraid of. She had no patience for taking cla.s.ses on dancing and etiquette for two whole months. That"s the part she disliked about rich people. They waste their time on weird stuff.
