YM778.TV Chapter 426 - Yao Yao, Many People Are Also Eyeing You!
Gu Qingyao felt that this was just too unbelievable!
After all, in her previous life, she was used to everyone despising her family. No matter how outstanding they were, they could not shake off the problem of their background. Now, they were suddenly popular. She was not used to it.
Gu Qingyao sat there and muttered, “Looks like my cousins are in danger. I must protect them.”
The Gu family was also sitting around the fire. Gu Yunshuang said, “I sensed what was happening. I was considering whether to write to them and ask them not to come back for the new year. They might as well avoid the village, in case something really happens!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Were things really that serious?
It was so surreal!
She rested her chin on her hands and said with a smile, “Gosh! I think their thinking is finally becoming more normal! My older cousins are all so outstanding, but no one wanted to marry them in the past. It didn’t make sense!
“Now, they’ve suddenly become popular. It feels rather strange!”
Gu Yunshen looked at Gu Qingyao and said gloomily, “It’s not just your older cousins who have become popular. Even Mo Beihan has attracted a lot of attention!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Also! It’s not just your older cousins who are sought after. Actually, many people have their eye on you!”
Gu Qingyao was shocked!
“Me… me?” She pointed at her nose incredulously.
“Hee…” Gu Fangting immediately burst out laughing. “Older Cousin, you must believe him. Recently, a lot of people have been asking me about you! Some older boys have been giving me snacks in order to find out about you. Now, I have to run away the moment I see the younger boys.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
This was just too incredible!
“Impossible. I… I’m already engaged. Why are they eyeing me?”
Were people so open these days?
Gu Yunshen said, “In the past, you were young and seldom left the house. Most people did not notice you, especially because we’re bad elements. You seldom came to mind.
“But the recent incident involving Gu Ruoqing was a severe blow for those who had set their hearts on bettering themselves. You must know that they gave many things, probably the only nice things that they had. They probably scrimped and saved for the entire year to give these things. It was a huge blow for them.
“But you suddenly went to the city. When they compared the two of you, some suddenly realized that you are the apple of the Gu family’s eye. Your older cousins and uncles are all working in the city. It will be more advantageous to marry you than any of the other girls in the brigade.
“Also…” At this point, Gu Yunshen’s expression grew chilly. “Because our family’s background is poor, these people think that they are doing you a favor by marrying you. They haven’t even considered whether we think they’re suitable.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“But… I’m already engaged!”
Wasn’t this a serious impediment?
Did they dare to fight Mo Beihan?
Gu Yunshen’s smile grew cynical. “Recently, someone has been spreading rumors that Mo Beihan only fancies you because you’re pretty. Everyone thinks that with such a good job, Mo Beihan will marry a city girl in the future. They doubt that he will wait for a village girl like you to grow up.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Could anything be more ridiculous than that?
Gu Yunshen glanced at his daughter. “Be on your guard. Those girls appear to want to win your favor, but many of them secretly want to harm you. In their hearts, they will always think that you are beneath them. They want to marry your older cousins, but there is no conflict between that and their desire for you to have a poorer marriage than them, and remain in the village.”
Gu Qingyao was really rendered speechless.
It was such an evil world. She needed her Elder Brother Beihan to comfort her.
