The end of the proposal was a kiss.

This matter seemed to have passed just like that. It was just that the relationship between the Li family and the Gu family had clearly become a bit stiff. But the Gu family had to deal with an illegitimate daughter that popped out of nowhere.

Besides, the one who didn't move was Old Man Gu. His relationship with the Gu family's eldest brother and second brother was also very good, especially with Boss Gu. The two of them wore the same pair of pants.

Right now, it was already the young generation of Jiang Shan. Old Man Gu's temperament that relied on his seniority to act like an elder should be properly restrained.

At the same time, Cao Xiaoxia began her training.

The quota for the school had been given to Cao Xiaoxia. This was a huge disaster.

Tao Yun didn't know that the school would have a quota. In the past, this quota should have been given to senior brothers and sisters. However, he didn't expect that the dean would give it to Cao Xiaoxia this year.

As for her, she wanted Tao Qing to give her face and call that cheap father. Only then did she get a spot.

Even so, it still took a lot of effort. Tao Qing and Ji Yun both warned her that she might not pass and told her to train well.

However, this was also something she could pretend to have.

Thus, she was in a good mood. Seeing that everyone was bragging and seeing the look of adoration in their eyes, she became even more arrogant.

However, not even a week had passed before he heard the news. It was that Cao Xiaoxia was going to participate in the Peach Blossom Cup competition.

"I'll tell you."

She found Cao Xiaoxia and said angrily, "Just what have I done to offend you? Why are you doing whatever I do?"

Cao Xiaoxia was practicing in the dance hall. Ever since she received the news, she had been working even harder every day.

"What's wrong with me? It's really weird. "

Tao Yun looked at her beautiful face and became angry: "Cao Xiaoxia, are you being shameless? Now that I'm going to the Peach Blossom Cup and you want to go there, can you not have some potential and not always chew on the leftovers from others' food? If you don't be ashamed, I'll still be ashamed. "

Tao Yun might have been living in a remote village in Shanxi province all year round. Not only did he have a loud throat, but he also had an indescribable feeling about him, especially when faced with such coldness. It was quite scary.

However, the one on the team was Cao Xiaoxia, who was not a big threat.

"Tao Yun, you are really hilarious. I am an artistic soldier in the army and came to school because I wanted to improve myself and also because I relied on my own abilities to enter the academy. Currently, the teacher was recommending the Peach Blossom Cup. What's more, this school and competition aren't for your family. Why are you only allowed to go there by yourself? "Then we might as well not compete anymore. You can just directly get a gold medal and carry us home."

The surrounding people didn't like Tao Yun, so when they heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"You!" Tao Yun trembled with anger. 'You're jealous of me, jealous of my family's wealth, jealous of my mother as an artist, and your mother as a widow.

"Hey, Tao Yun, I don't like hearing you say that." Cao Xiaoxia frowned. "For the past few years, I have to go to the countryside to study. Chairman Mao had said that I would learn from my fellow farmers. "Why, do you look down on the peasants, or do you simply go against the will of the President?"

Even Tao Yun couldn't help but turn livid with anger at the accusation of this big hat.

"Fine, I can't win against you. Just watch and see, I'm doing it for your own good. If you go to the tournament, you'll only lose your face. I don't want you to lose the face of our school."

Cao Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and said coldly, "If this were the past, I would have been afraid of losing face for the school. But now that I see that you dare to go, I am suddenly no longer afraid."

The crowd burst into laughter again as Tao Yun angrily asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just a literal sense."

Seeing that Tao Yun was not doing well, the surrounding people began to heckle him and angrily said, "Alright, let's wait and see."

He then ran away bitterly.

A girl with two pigtails looked worriedly at Cao Xiao Xia, "Xiao Xia, you've offended her so much, aren't you afraid she'll hate you?"

"What are you afraid of?" Cao Xiaoxia comforted her, "A person like Tao Yun only bullies the weak and fears the strong. The softer you are, the more she bullies you."

"But, I heard that her mother is a professor at the Music Academy, and her father is the dean of that famous academy in the capital."

Cao Xiaoxia was stunned, "What did you say?"

"She said it herself. The entire school knows about it now." Seeing Cao Xiaoxia's shocked expression, the girl thought she was afraid and quickly comforted her, "She told people that her parents were the ones who arranged the competition, and she even said that the quota has been ordered. "Just give in now, otherwise she'll set you up in the competition."

Cao Xiaoxia told her sister about it on the phone at night.

"Sis, tell me, is this true?"

Cao Xiaolian was also shocked.

Of course, she wasn't shocked by the matter. It had already been made clear by Shang Yin's call before the new year. If the Gu family were to find out, would they think that Tao Qing was causing a ruckus inside?

The Gu family didn't want to blow up the matter right now, but if Tao Yun challenged the Gu family again and again, then it was only a matter of time before they would take care of her.

No one paid any attention to her, but what if Tao Qing was implicated?

Cao Xiaolian could no longer stay calm. She hung up the phone and called Shang Yin.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up. It was a very standard sweet voice. "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm looking for Shang Yin."

"The CEO is in a meeting, I'm her assistant, you can leave your name."

Cao Xiaoling took a deep breath, "Okay, my name is Cao Xiaolan. Tell her that I have something to talk to her about. Please call me back as soon as possible."

After hanging up, she could no longer continue with the painting.

Li Yuyi looked over and asked, "Whose phone is it? What's the matter?"

Since her father had gone out to visit her, Li Yugeng went to the Lin Family to pack up her things. Li Yuyi couldn't be bothered to go back on his own, so he decided to stay here for the night.

Besides, she was very fond of Cao Xiaoliu now, and she couldn't wait to follow her every now and then. Cao Xiaolan sometimes had something she didn't understand that she could ask.

She put down the Reader's Digest in her hand.

"A rather annoying person." Cao Xiaolian suddenly remembered that Li Yiyi and Ji Qingyun knew each other, so she asked, "Yuyi, do you know what kind of person Ji Qingyun's mother is?"

"She is." Li Yuyi thought it was because he was scolded by Ji Qingyun that day, so he wanted to ask and began to talk about her family matters.

It turned out that the current old man of the Gu family, Gu Lianchang, had two wives before. His first wives were arranged marriages. Because he had come out early to join the army, he had married another wife in the army.

The wife gave birth to his two sons and sacrificed them during the Civil War.

Qi Yu was the third.

Qi Yu was a student of the Beijing Normal University. After graduation, she worked as a teacher in a primary school and was introduced to Gu Lianchang.

Gu Lianchang had taken a liking to Qi Yu at first glance, but Qi Yu hadn't taken a fancy to him at all.

After all, Qi Yu was only twenty-one years old and was still as pretty as a flower. Gu Lianchang was thirty-six years old, and because of the war, he looked like a fiendish devil. Plus, he was from the countryside, so he didn't even recognize a single character. Thus, Qi Yu naturally wouldn't take any action against him.

Gu Lianchang's position was already very high. This marriage would definitely be arranged to be peaceful.

And so they were married.

Although Gu Lianchang was decisive and ruthless on the battlefield, he couldn't do it at home. Qi Yu was a little girl, and everything was up to her. Soon after their marriage, Qi Yu gave birth to a son, who had a soft personality.

When his son was two years old, Qi Yu gave birth to another daughter.

Out of the three sons in front, a daughter had come. Whether it was Qi Yu or Gu Lianchang, both of them felt the same pain as if they were treasures.

When Gu Hua was still in university, he fell in love with a teacher of his department and finally succeeded in marrying her.

This man was Ji Yun.

"Ji Qingyun used to be pretty good. When we were young, she was pretty polite. Although her mother was quite domineering, she treated us pretty well. But it's a family image there, and now she's become a bitch at the sight of her mother. "

Li Yuyi thought back to that day and became angry, "Your matter was planned by her, and she still has the nerve to say that." "Speaking of which, since Brother Jin Yu was helping her do such a bad thing, I will ignore him from now on."

"Jinyu gege?"

"That's right, Jin Yu is Ji Qingyun's cousin at the high school entrance examination. My brother already told me about it. If it wasn't for the relationship between the two families, I would have pulled Jin Yu down."

Li Yuyi had already heard the whole story from his brother. He could not help but get angry whenever he thought about the situation.

"I've already told dad. Anyway, we'll stay away from the Gu family in the future. It's possible that we'll be plotted against."

"Huh?"

Cao Xiaolian was a little apprehensive. "Uncle, don't say anything."

After all, he had a stain on his reputation. Who would be willing to have such a daughter-in-law?

Pah pah pah, it's not that she wanted to marry Li Yugeng, but she felt that her body was stained and weird.

"Don't worry Xiao Lian, my dad isn't that kind of person." Li Yuyi held her hand and spoke in a righteous tone, "Daddy will definitely help you vent your anger in the future. Big brother said that the Gu family will become worse in the future. Although big brother Jinyu is relatively capable, he will only be a burden to the Gu family."

Cao Xiaolian: …

"From now on, don't say such words outside." She felt a little helpless. If news of her mother's death were to spread, it would affect her father's career.

"You're not an outsider. You're my sister-in-law." Li Yuyi smiled and said, "Our sister-in-law thinks the same. It's as sharp as gold."

Girl, are you sure this is what you're saying?

Cao Xiaolian was about to struggle when the phone rang.

Then, Shang Yin's voice sounded from within.

"Xiao Lian, you were looking for me."

His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"What big business deal have we been talking about?"

"You really are the worm in my stomach." Shang Yin laughed. He could not help but feel proud. "If there are no accidents, next month, our company will go public. Do you still remember what I said? "One day, I will stand at the top of this industry. When that time comes, I will no longer be able to adapt to other people's ways of playing, but will have to learn from the rules of my game."

These words were extremely domineering, but Cao Xiaoling knew that she wasn't bragging. Sooner or later, she would definitely do it.

"Go for it!" Cao Xiaolian encouraged her, "I believe that this day will not be too far away."

"I believe in myself." Shang Yin smiled and asked, "Oh right, why did you call me?"
