Chapter 6 How about you choose Chuxue?

"Nian Nian, what are you talking about?" Xia Chuxue, the one addressed, was stunned, her eyes immediately reddening.

Standing in front of Gu Lingqian, she turned back to look at Xia Yinian, with tears at the corner of her eyes, unshed yet so pitiful.

"Nian Nian, you left the banquet with those men, older sister has been looking for you, wanting to persuade you to come back, they are not good people."

"But, older sister looked for you the whole night and couldn't even find a trace of you."

She bit her lip, fingers twisted together, a picture of ultimate heartache.

"They are all famously frivolous troublemakers with a history of bad behavior, everyone knows, by going with them, isn't it... isn't it just asking to be completely taken advantage of?"

"Older sister advised you for so long, yet you were stubborn, now that something has happened, you still blame me, you..."

Her nose soured, and she quickly turned her face away, secretly wiping away her tears.

Such a Xia Chuxue, standing beside a disheveled Xia Yinian, formed the most stark contrast.

One pure and dignified like a lotus, the other loose and shameless, which one should a man choose, was there any doubt?

Yet, Gu Lingqian, who still sat quietly on the sofa, seemed to lack even the interest to choose, merely observing them with a detached gaze.

In fact, this was the first formal encounter between Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian.

Old Master Gu had asked Gu Lingqian to come and officially meet Xia Yinian, not expecting such events to unfold at tonight's hotel banquet.

Not only did his fiancée not come to meet him, but rumors had it she even left with a few troublemakers, playing the whole night until returning at midnight.

Of course, all this was said by Xia Chuxue, and before seeing Xia Yinian, everyone still held some doubts about the truth.

But now, seeing Xia Yinian's condition, there was hardly any room for doubt left.

The marks on her neck were clear, and the clothes on her body changed to a man's, and underneath those clothes...there was probably nothing!

With such conclusive evidence, was there a need for explanation?

Xia Yinian originally had a great aversion to this kind of opulent marriage arrangement; she didn't necessarily have to marry Gu Lingqian.

Yet, Xia Chuxue, to be with Gu Lingqian, would actually harm her like this—she couldn't accept it!

"I didn't leave with those men, it was Sister Chuxue who gave them money, wanting them to ruin me!"

"Xia Yinian, do you have no shame? To frame your own older sister like this!"

Xia Chuxue's mother walked over quickly, pointing at Xia Yinian, her finely made-up face almost contorting with anger.

"How could you be so malicious! Our Chuxue has always been well-behaved, always so obedient! After making a mistake yourself, you still want to drag others down? You've really gone too far!"

"Mom, Nian Nian is just young and doesn't understand, it's why she tries to shirk responsibility after making a mistake, don't blame her."

Clearly gripped by grievance, Xia Chuxue still sought to plead on behalf of Xia Yinian.

Even though it implicitly accused Xia Yinian of indeed making a mistake, it was, after all, a plea.

Such a gentle disposition, such magnanimity and kindness, it was truly rare!

Old Master seemed to have completely lost hope in Xia Yinian, still looking at Gu Lingqian, full of apologies.

"Ling Qian, Yinian really is... sorry, if you want to call off the engagement, our Xia Family will definitely agree. As for the marriage alliance Old Master Gu wished to have with our Xia Family..."

He thought for a bit, finally pulling Xia Chuxue over: "Chuxue is also my granddaughter, Ling Qian, what do you think... you choose Chuxue?"
