Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Gong Yu squeezed Cheng Xiang's hand, suggesting that she should be polite and say hello to her grandfather.

Cheng Xiang bowed slightly and respectfully saluted Gong Qilin, then said, "Hello, Grandpa. My name is Cheng Xiang, and I'm A Yu's girlfriend. This is my first visit to the manor, so please forgive me for any impoliteness!"

She had memorized the Gong family's likes and taboos, but she was so nervous at the dinner table that she forgot about it for a moment, and that's when she encountered the old man's taboo.

Gong Yu also helped his girlfriend to excuse herself: "Grandpa, it's Ah Xiang's first time to visit our house, so she's bound to be nervous. She doesn't know you're allergic to fish. When you become a family and get to know each other, you'll be familiar with each other. Don't blame her."

family?

Gong Qilin frowned: "When did I say I agreed to you being together?"

The Gong family is not a place where anyone can enter. If anyone can be brought home, wouldn’t it be a mess?

"Grandpa, I..."

Cheng Xiang was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she looked at Gong Yu for help, hoping that he could say a few words for her.

Fortunately, Gong Yu still liked her very much and tried to smooth things over with Old Man Gong with a smile.

"Grandpa, didn't I tell you that Ah Xiang is very important to me? She has been with me through the lows in the past two years. I promised her that I would give her a grand wedding. Besides, don't you and my parents urge me to go on blind dates every day? Ah Xiang is a very good girl, so just agree that we should be together!"

Gong Chenxuan and his wife were indeed urging Gong Yu to get married. They arranged several blind dates for Gong Yu every year, and they wanted her to get married right away. If they waited any longer, he would become an old man, and by then he would not be popular with young girls.

"Xiao Yu, marriage is a serious matter, isn't it? You are being too ridiculous!"

Gong Qilin frowned and said unhappily, "You are already at the age to get married, but there is no need to rush. Take your time to choose. Your future wife must be someone who is beneficial to the family, otherwise you will disappoint the expectations that your parents and I have placed on you!"

Cheng Xiang stood aside in silence, with his head lowered, listening quietly to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.

She knew that Mr. Gong was concerned about her background and felt that she could not be of much help in business, so he wanted to find a useful young lady from aristocratic family to replace her.

Cheng Xiang suddenly thought of her murderer father, who was addicted to gambling. He was either playing cards or drinking, and was drunk every night.

Sometimes when she lost too much, she would be caught and beaten and scolded, just to vent her anger.

That's how he beat my mother to death.

How can I not hate it?

She tried to resist, but her father was so tall and strong that he could knock her to the ground with just a flick of his hand, and she wouldn't be able to get up for a long time.

She clearly remembered that night, she took her ID card and fled the city on a long-distance bus, thinking that she could escape her father's clutches.

Less than two years of peaceful and calm life passed, and the madman came to her again, saying that he owed a lot of debts and that as his daughter, she should pay the debts on behalf of her father.

She had no choice but to promise her father that she would help him pay off his debts, and gave him some money before sending him away, fearing that the young CEO she had just hooked up with would care about her shameful background.

...At that time, Cheng Xiang felt a little tinnitus and could no longer hear the conversation between Gong Yu and Gong Qilin. All she could think of was her father's ugly face, with his bloody mouth wide open, and he was baring his teeth and claws to collect debts from her.

"what!"

Cheng Xiang's shoulders trembled violently, and she screamed and fainted on the ground.

"Ah Xiang!"

Gong Yu squatted down in panic to check the situation, hugged her tightly in his arms, and comforted her over and over again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't abandon you..."

Gong Qilin didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "Xiao Yu, what's going on? It seems that Miss Cheng is not feeling well. Send her back to have a good rest. Let's not talk about the marriage for now."

The old man didn't really agree with them being together in the first place, and Cheng Xiang just happened to faint, which was a useless excuse for him to persuade them to back out.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, I just have a little low blood sugar."
