"Second Granduncle, you are all aware of our Yun Zheng's ability. His wife, who is a granddaughter of the Huo Family, has a background with accessories. You still need to pay attention to her character, no?" Actually, Huo Xuaner's words were meant to leave some leeway for Gu Yi to enter the Huo Family in the future. If these uncles of hers were to be dissatisfied, even her days in the Huo Family would be difficult for her.

The Second Granduncle did not continue Huo Xuaner's words, but her eyes revealed her disagreement. She looked at Old Madem Huo, but Old Madem Huo did not have the intention to interrupt. Instead, she had a light smile on her face and looked towards an unknown lady.

"Xuan'er, you're no longer young. Is this marriage over yet?" Third Uncle, who was standing to the side, smiled as he walked over to tease them.

"Aiya, third uncle, this is about Yun Zheng's marriage, why is it me again? You, you better not worry about it ~" Huo Xuaner quickly changed the topic, she really did not want to talk about it.

Although she knew that she wasn't young anymore and had long passed the age for marriage, she didn't want to get married. Now that she was alone, why not do it? Moreover, she had never met a man that could move her heart again.

She would rather live alone than marry for the sake of marriage.

The current Gu Yi was currently in a corner, quietly watching this gorgeous scene. Her heart, however, was surging with an indescribable bitterness.

She watched the famous ladies in their costumes come in one by one, walking with a decent, confident smile on their faces. Lowering her head to look at her work clothes, she could not help but feel pain in her heart. This difference was too obvious, how could she believe that Huo Yunzheng would choose her?

Old Madem Huo schemed that his grandson wasn't so obedient, with his stubborn personality, he definitely wanted to go against him!

He thought that she wanted to use him to make a business marriage, so on the spot, there was a chance that she wouldn't be the person Old Madem had prepared for him! Therefore, Gu Yi did not make any placings amongst the famous ladies and origin women that were to attend.

Even if Old Madem had already planned every single step, Huo Yunzheng's heart was still his after all. Only he himself knew what he was thinking.

Gu Yi's heart was very complicated. She hoped that Huo Yunzheng would choose him, but didn't know how to face him in the future, or how to hide Qiqi's identity; if Huo Yunzheng really didn't choose him, then her heart would definitely be very sad. After all, who could watch their beloved enter the palace of marriage with another?

In short, Gu Yi still had some expectations in her heart, expectation that Huo Yunzheng would choose him. For this reason, Gu Yi, who usually liked to look plain and plain, had even put on an exquisite face today.

Emotions were something even deities couldn't describe.

At this moment, Gu Yi was still immersed in her own thoughts, when she heard a ruckus at the door. There was no need to think about it, Huo Yunzheng must have arrived, other than him, who else would cause such a ruckus?

That man was truly a god-like existence. No matter where or when, as long as he appeared, it was destined that all the attention would be focused on him alone.

He was like an emperor as he looked arrogantly at his surroundings. As he walked into the hall in an unrestrained manner, he attracted everyone's attention along the way. Those famous ladies were also among them.

As for him, he seemed to be accustomed to it and wasn't affected in the slightest.

They arrived at the center of the hall in a few steps, and the elders of the Huo Family also went up to welcome him.

Gu Yi was a little further away, so she could not see the expression on Huo Yunzheng's face. Just by looking at his figure, one could tell that he was extremely unwilling.

That's right, she had almost returned with a beauty in her arms. If not for Old Madem Huo suddenly blocking her, the couple would probably still be in a romantic situation today.

He couldn't be with the person he loved. Presumably, no matter who it was, they would all have their own complaints.

It was unknown why, but when she thought of how this man would hug another woman and play and laugh on the beach under the sun, Gu Yi felt as if there were ten thousand mud horses scratching madly in his heart.

But what if Huo Yunzheng chose another woman today?

Thinking about that, Gu Yi's eyes were all focused on the man in the distance.

The man was tall and straight, chatting and laughing with each other. He absentmindedly discovered a scorching gaze coming from afar. He subconsciously glanced around, but didn't discover anything.

However, this small action caused Gu Yi to recover from her shock and she shrank back a few steps. She clearly knew that it was impossible for Huo Yunzheng to see her from so far away, but she was still very afraid.

In the end, everyone dispersed from the Huo Family, leaving behind Huo Yunzheng who shuttled freely between the famous ladies. He really did seem like that.

The old man from Huo Family had said that he could communicate with those girls, but he had only smiled at them and did not stop in front of anyone.

Such a casual attitude was taken seriously by those famous ladies. They quickly tidied up their dresses and hair accessories, afraid that there would be something that would not catch the eye of this master.

Gu Yi did not know what Huo Yunzheng was doing, and thought that he was seriously "choosing a wife". Adding to that, the smile on his face was something he rarely saw, and the pain in his heart started to surge uncontrollably.

Gu Yi could no longer bear to watch, so she turned and lowered her head, and a moment later, her eyes became moist. Forget it, since he wouldn't be able to see her, she could cry if she wanted to.

After all, it seemed that the Old Madem Huo really didn't understand his grandson. There were so many beauties in the hall, and each one of them was not only beautiful and dignified, their families were all prominent too. How could Huo Yunzheng choose himself?

Her status was so low that it could not be compared to the clouds and mud that separated her from him. Besides, with all that had happened between them, it was hard to say how much he would hate her. Heh, today's effort on the part of the Old Madem was truly wasted.

This way, Qiqi and herself could leave this place and not be separated for the rest of their lives. When she thought that she could always be with Qiqi, Gu Yi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Just as he was about to raise his head to face everything, he saw a pair of shoes. These were a pair of man's shoes.

Was it him? Huo Yunzheng?

Gu Yi subconsciously raised her head, and just like that, her four eyes were caught off guard. The astonishment and surprise in her eyes directly crashed into Huo Yunzheng's heart.

How did he find out that he was staying in such an inconspicuous corner? Could it be …

Huo Yunzheng's appearance was too sudden, causing Gu Yi's brain to slow down. After all, she saw him shuttling amongst the beauties a second ago.
