Everyone present was quick to understand the current situation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Previously, Gu Chen had made his stance clear regarding Xu Wen’s matter, and he had been seen with Song Fan frequently. It seemed Xu Wen couldn’t bear it, so she used some tricks to make Gu Chen submit. Unfortunately for her, the plan had failed.

Old Mr. Xu, experienced with various dirty tactics, had already formed a plan while Mrs. Xu was still in a panic.

“Seal off this floor. No one is allowed to leave. Check everyone’s phones and cameras. Not a word of Xu Family’s affairs is to be leaked!” As the head of one of the four major families in the capital, Old Mr. Xu’s orders were obeyed without question.

Mrs. Xu then remembered her daughter was still inside and hurriedly went in.

Xu Wen, seeing the man beneath her, wanted to grind her teeth to pieces. She had thought her plan was flawless, but the person on the bed wasn’t Gu Chen.

Both Gu Chen and Gu Zhuo had been wearing black suits today. She hadn’t looked closely when she entered the room, leading to this big mistake.

Now, she could only quickly put on a bathrobe and curl up in a corner of the bed, tears streaming down her face.

When Mrs. Xu entered, she and Xu Wen exchanged glances and immediately knew things had gone wrong.

Mrs. Xu comforted Xu Wen and, seeing the unconscious Gu Zhuo, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he was still asleep and hadn’t done anything, so Xu Wen was still pure. But the fact that so many people had seen this made it hard to handle.

Old Mr. Xu then walked in and, seeing Gu Zhuo on the bed, made up his mind.

“You two, couldn’t you find a better time to start a relationship? Did it have to be now?” Old Mr. Xu’s voice was loud enough for everyone outside to hear.

It seemed the man was known to the Xu family. Even if it wasn’t Gu Chen, it must be some young master from a prominent family.

Gu Zhuo, disturbed by the noise, began to wake up, rubbing his temples groggily as he sat up.

Before he could fully grasp the situation, Old Mr. Xu spoke up, “Xu Family and Gu Family were always meant to be united by marriage. You two being in love is something the family would agree to. Causing such a scene, is it necessary?”

In just a few words, he turned the incident into a story about two young people in love, worried their families wouldn’t approve.

Xu Wen only cried, knowing Old Mr. Xu’s words were final. Any argument from her would be futile. It was better to let him handle the mess.

Mrs. Xu also understood her father-in-law’s intention. “Yes, silly girl, if you and Gu Zhuo are in love, I couldn’t be happier. If you don’t like Gu Chen, why would I force you to marry him?”

Gu Hai, who had been enjoying the spectacle, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

“Exactly, exactly. If you have a girlfriend, tell me. I’d support you!” Gu Hai smiled brightly, practically ready to announce their marriage.

Old Mr. Xu knew Gu Hai’s intentions but had no other options. The Xu family’s reputation was more important.

“Enough, don’t blame the children. They don’t understand.” Despite his anger, Old Mr. Xu maintained a calm facade.

Gu Hai nodded repeatedly, ready to comply with the Xu family’s wishes. “Don’t worry. My son will take responsibility. Xu Miss will never suffer any grievance. It’s all my foolish son’s fault, and I won’t let Xu Miss be wronged!”

With Gu Hai taking responsibility, Old Mr. Xu’s expression softened. “Alright, stop blaming him. Since the children are in love, let’s quickly arrange the engagement to avoid further embarrassment.”

Gu Hai couldn’t agree more. This was the outcome he desired, and it had all gone surprisingly smoothly.

Gu Zhuo, who had been slowly waking up, finally understood the situation.

“I don’t agree! Why should I take responsibility? This has nothing to do with me.” Gu Zhuo quickly stood up. Mrs. Xu had covered him with a blanket, which fell off to reveal Gu Zhuo in just cartoon underpants.

“I… I was unconscious. I just woke up!” He covered himself awkwardly, his face red. “You all saw, I was wearing underpants! I didn’t do anything!”
