Chapter 697 Temporary Obedience
After reading the morning paper, Gu Changle felt uncomfortable and disgusting as if she had eaten a dead fly.
As she slapped the newspaper aside fiercely, she was exasperated with the failure and said, “Tang Jian is such trash. With such a rich family, why did he have to steal those lipsticks and foundations?”
“He even took a peek at the women’s restroom.”
Shao Tianze’s voice came in from the door of the ward.
When Gu Changle heard Shao Tianze’s voice, her face changed immediately.
Then, she continued to scold, “I thought he was just too thin. I didn’t expect that he had such disgusting problems.”
Shao Tianze said coldly, “He was selected for Shao Xue according to your wishes.”
Gu Changle was regretful, but she did pick Tang Jian.
Now Shao Tianze criticized her. She could only admit it. She said reproachfully, “I chose him blindly.”
Shao Tianze loved Gu Changle very much, so he would not directly complain about Gu Changle’s blindness.
He just thought of other things.
“When you put him on the list of Shao Xue’s dates, did you really know nothing about Tang Jian?”
Shao Tianze stared at Gu Changle. Because of Shao Tianze’s gaze, Gu Changle frowned and put on a displeased expression, “What do you mean by asking me like this?”
“What do you think?”
Shao Tianze asked Gu Changle to think by herself. Gu Changle certainly understood that Shao Tianze was suspicious of her.
She frowned even more, “There are only a few families in Yuncheng willing to form an alliance with the Shao Family by marriage. You know our current situation very well. It is impossible for me to find better people. From these families, I selected people with good backgrounds and no bad rumors for Shao Xue.”
“But you can’t select such a bad person.” Shao Tianze plainly said, “Although the current situation of the Shao Family is not good, it is still possible to find one with comparable family background. And his appearance must be decent. The most important thing is that he must not have weird bad problems and quirks. Look at the Tang Family’s eldest son you have found. What is wrong with him?”
Gu Changle knew that the Tang Family’s young master had many problems.
Nevertheless, she really couldn’t choose a better one for Shao Xue.
Gu Changle was silent for a while and asked him, “Do you really regard Shao Xue as your beloved younger sister?”
After hearing Gu Changle’s question, Shao Tianze knew what Gu Changle wanted to say next.
“She is not my biological sister, but I have to show it to the people in Yuncheng. Letting her marry Tang Jian, such trash, will make people think that I have a rather low taste.”
“Huh. Does Tang Jian really have this bad problem? Why hadn’t I heard of it before?” Gu Changle looked for an excuse, “I think they framed Tang Jian deliberately.”
Hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze squinted his eyes and said with annoyance, “It’s not a frame-up. I have asked people who know Tang Jian. Women who knew him well said that he did have this bad problem.”
As the possibility that Gu Changle just said was denied by Shao Tianze, she felt embarrassed and continued to refute, “But it is weird that he happened to be photographed and became the headline. He has had this problem since long ago. Why hadn’t it been photographed? I believe someone deliberately wanted to expose it. This is a conspiracy!”
Gu Changle’s words also aroused Shao Tianze’s suspicion.
He remained silent for a while.
Seeing that Shao Tianze no longer only reprimanded her, Gu Changle began to induce him, “Shao Xue has been looking down upon those who I introduced to her for blind dates. Perhaps Shao Xue had known about the breaking scandal.”
“That is the person you picked for Shao Xue. How would she know? Shao Xue has never been in contact with the Tang Family’s members.”
Gu Changle pouted, “If Shao Xue was alone, she might not know so much. However, Tianze, think about it. If Shao Xue has been contacting Song Yunxuan, will she know many things that she shouldn’t?”
Gu Changle’s question was clever.
Her words not only said that Shao Xue might know Tang Jian’s quirks but also hinted that she might know about what Shao Tianze had done before because she had been in contact with Song Yunxuan.
Shao Tianze was a suspicious and cruel person.
Gu Changle knew that Shao Tianze had not made the cruel determination to deal with Shao Xue, so she increased his suspicion and rejection of Shao Xue all the time.
After listening to Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze fell silent.
Gu Changle said, “Tianze, I made a mistake about Tang Jian. However, those who exposed Tang Jian’s quirks were not by accident. They want Shao Xue unmarried and to continue staying in the Shao Family.”
“Shao Xue cannot stay in the Shao Family.”
Once Shao Xue had suspicious behaviors and reactions, she must leave the Shao Family.
Only in this way could it prevent Shao Xue from knowing more, removing the threat to Shao Tianze.
“Help her find a better man.”
Shao Tianze said to Gu Changle.
Gu Changle nodded, “I will help her find a good-looking man.”
“It’s better not to have such a quirk anymore.”
Shao Tianze’s voice was extremely cold.
Gu Changle didn’t care and nodded, “Trust me. I will definitely check everything about the man Shao Xue has a crush on this time.”
Hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze nodded.
…
In the afternoon, Song Yunxuan went home to rest after eating lunch in the Song enterprise.
In the afternoon, Shao Xue called with extra attention.
Hearing the call from Shao Xue, Song Yunxuan answered the phone and asked, “How is your situation now?”
“Shao Tianze called me and asked me to go to Gu Changle’s ward.”
“Can you guess what it is about?” Song Yunxuan asked Shao Xue.
Shao Xue smiled and said, “What can it be? Probably she selected another excellent man for my blind date and wanted me to have a look.”
“Do you want to meet these men?”
Song Yunxuan asked Shao Xue. And Shao Xue laughed, “Of course, I don’t want to go.”
“I will find a way to get you to marry Luo Xi from Harbor City tomorrow. What do you think of it?”
In Harbor City, many women knew Luo Xi. However, in Yuncheng, few people knew him.
“Luo Xi?”
Song Yunxuan did not explain to her what kind of person Luo Xi was. She just said, “I will send you an email about Luo Xi’s information. Remember to check carefully.”
Shao Xue nodded.
Then, Song Yunxuan continued, “I have negotiated your marriage with Luo Xi. Next, after you meet Luo Xi, it will depend on your reaction.”
Shao Xue nodded, “Yunxuan, don’t worry. I will be relieved as long as I won’t marry the one Gu Changle chose. I will perform well.”
Song Yunxuan selected the candidate for her carefully, who was definitely much better than the inferior men selected by Gu Changle.
“You need to pretend that you don’t know Luo Xi in front of Shao Tianze.”
“OK.” Shao Xue nodded.
Song Yunxuan said again, “You have to follow Gu Changle’s will at first. I have asked Luo Xi. If Luo Xi’s grandfather has the intention, he will come to Yuncheng to discuss the matter with Shao Tianze within a few days.”
“Will Shao Tianze agree?” Shao Xue was a little worried.
Song Yunxuan said, “I didn’t let Luo Xi come in person because I am afraid that Shao Tianze would reject him in a few words.”
“However, if Luo Jiachi, Luo Xi’s grandfather, came, Shao Tianze would need to consider before making a decision.”
“After all, compared with Luo Jiachi, Shao Tianze is a junior in the business world. He had to respect the elder master of the Luo Family to a certain extent.”
Song Yunxuan’s words reassured Shao Xue.
In Shao Xue’s view, even if she had to get married, she could not marry the man Shao Tianze or Gu Changle chose for her.
If she had to marry the man Shao Tianze and Gu Changle chose for her, she would rather marry a beggar than the sons of those wealthy families.
Song Yunxuan felt it was not appropriate to talk to Shao Xue for a long time. Therefore, she hung up the phone after she explained the situation to Shao Xue and reassured her.
Before Song Yunxuan hung up the phone, Shao Xue pursed her lips and asked with hesitation, “Why did Luo Xi agree?”
“He has his own difficulties. The marriage of the two of you will not be just about him helping you. He also needs your help.”
“Does he need my help?”
“Mutually beneficial.” Song Yunxuan sighed lightly, “But your marriage needs to last for three years even if you two just use each other.”
“It means that we cannot get divorced within three years, right?” Shao Xue was very clever and understood immediately.
Song Yunxuan nodded, “Yes. You’ll have to put up with it.”
When hearing Song Yunxuan’s concern, Shao Xue immediately shook her head and denied it, “It is nothing. As long as it can be fair to my parents and make the people who killed my parents pay the price, three years is nothing.”
“Three years is nothing, but you should make a greater effort.”
“I know.”
The Luo Family was not a paradise where Shao Xue could enjoy blessings after marrying Luo Xi. Luo Xi’s uncle could not be ignored.
After Shao Xue got married, he would definitely make things difficult for them to prevent Luo Xi from growing up.
His uncle would even obstruct Luo Xi’s commercial marriage.
Song Yunxuan thought a lot, but she didn’t tell Shao Xue everything. She only told Shao Xue, “Before the Luo Family proposes, you must be safe in the Shao Family.”
“OK. I will be obedient. I will not go against Gu Changle.”
“Good.”
Before the Luo Family proposed, Shao Xue would have many blind dates.
However, with Song Yunxuan’s interference, these men would have no reason to date Shao Xue.
Nevertheless, Gu Changle would keep persuading Shao Tianze while thinking of new ways to torture Shao Xue.
