Mother Gu held my hand tightly, her face filled with concern. "Xiaoxiao, don't worry. From now on, with us around, you won't suffer any grievances!"
Listening to their caring words, I felt a mix of joy and heartache, but mostly happiness. "Father, Mother, thank you."
At that moment, I truly felt that the Gu Family was my home. Father Gu and Mother Gu made me feel the loving heart of parents towards their children.
I knew all of this was because of Gu Chenxuan. I looked at him, my eyes filled with deep affection.
The two of them exchanged smiles, fingers intertwined, their hearts closely connected.
Sometimes, one really cannot underestimate the malice in people's hearts. I originally thought that things had come to an end at this point, but unexpectedly, just a few days later, Father Lin and Mother Lin brought Lin Wan'er to the gate of our residence, loudly causing a scene and attracting many onlookers.
"Gu Chenxuan, you heartless man! You have been having an affair with my daughter and now you want to deny it after taking advantage of her?"
Gu Chenxuan and I stepped out with a servant. Gu Chenxuan's expression darkened. "When did I have an affair with your daughter?"
"Still not admitting it?" Mother Lin snorted coldly. "My Wan'er has said that you two have already made a private engagement."
"Ha."
Gu Chenxuan sneered. "If that's the case, does your daughter dare to confront me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lin Wan'er said confidently. "Gu Chenxuan, if you betray me, I will never let it go!"
Gu Chenxuan looked at her with disgust. "I have never met you privately, nor have we seen each other more than twice in public. Where does this betrayal come from?"
"Words are not enough; you just want to shirk responsibility! You clearly wanted to mess around with me and said you would marry me. Now that I'm pregnant with your child and come to find you, you're denying it!" Lin Wan'er said smugly.
"Fine, since that's the case, I won't spare you any face today; otherwise, everyone will think they can come to my Gu Family and act recklessly."
He turned to the servant beside him. "Go, bring her here."
"Yes."
I listened to their conversation, feeling a bit curious.
Gu Chenxuan, what is this about?
Soon, I found out the answer.
I saw two servants bringing in a man.
The man was dressed in ragged clothes, his face covered in pockmarks; he looked like the kind of troublemaker who had spent years on the streets.
"Who is this person?" Father Lin and Mother Lin asked, puzzled.
But I recognized him at a glance.
He was the Ermazi that Lin Wan'er had brought in back then.
But how did Gu Chenxuan know him?
Gu Chenxuan coldly spoke, "This is the lover that Lin Wan'er mentioned."
"What?" Father Lin and Mother Lin were shocked, "This is impossible!"
Lin Wan'er panicked even more, "Gu Chenxuan, you’re talking nonsense!"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know in your heart," Gu Chenxuan said coldly, looking at Lin Wan'er with disgust.
"This Ermazi says that you were the one who approached him first, is that correct?"
"You’re slandering me!" Lin Wan'er shouted, her face turning red.
Ermazi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, sir, it was this young lady who approached me first. I still remember she has a birthmark on her back, right?"
"You... shut up!" Lin Wan'er was so anxious she was about to cry.
I watched this scene with cold eyes, feeling no sympathy whatsoever.
This was all Lin Wan'er's doing.
Seeing Lin Wan'er in such a miserable state made me feel quite pleased.
Seizing the opportunity, I spoke up, "Since it’s said that she’s pregnant, it must be his child then."
"Then why not let them get married?"
"Xiaoxiao is right," Gu Chenxuan said, looking at me with tenderness in his eyes. "Let them get married."
In front of everyone, Lin Wan'er's reputation was ruined, and no one would marry her.
Ermazi, wanting to gain a wife and children for free, directly went to the Lin family and acted shamelessly.
He called a few rogue brothers and took them home with their belongings that same day.
Thus, Lin Wan'er ended up marrying without any formal proposals, wedding procession, or celebrations, her reputation in tatters.
After Ermazi's matter was resolved, everything seemed to return to calm.
