Xu Aizhen noticed the change in Gong Shaoming and held his hand tighter.
"Shaoming, what's wrong with you? Everyone is watching. Look how happy the elders of the Gong family laughed when they saw our engagement. You must not bear to be disappointed, right?"
Xu Aizhen smiled sweetly, but every word she spoke struck a chord in her heart.
Now that the matter has come to this, Gong Shaoming feels a little regretful, and he also knows what the consequences will be if he regrets the marriage at this time. Even if it is a mistake, he can only make mistakes.
He took Xu Aizhen and walked towards the oath-taking platform.
When Xu Aizhen saw that Gong Shaoming's expression looked the same, she felt completely at ease.
As soon as Gong Shaoming and Xu Aizhen walked to the oath stage and took the oath handed to them by the host, they saw the housekeeper of the Gong family's old house rushing to the venue, holding a white envelope tightly in his hand.
Seeing Gong Shaoming on the high platform, he hesitated and let out a soft breath.
The sound was not very loud, but Gong Shaoming heard it immediately.
When he turned around and saw the butler standing in the venue, his eyes were wide open and he almost reflexively went up to ask him what happened.
It's sad that he will always feel that something is wrong tonight. If Xu Aizhen hadn't been so clingy, he wouldn't have been able to tell her origins at all. I'm afraid Gong Shaoming would have called the old house to ask about An Moran's situation.
Now that I saw the housekeeper appear, I guessed that something must have happened to An Moran.
Gong Shaoming didn't bother to recite the oath. The stalwart figure turned around and walked towards the butler.
When the housekeeper saw Gong Shaoming abandoning Xu Aizhen and walking towards him, he instinctively walked towards the infield. He took just a few steps and was stopped by the bodyguard.
When I looked up, I met the deep-set old eyes of a group of old guys from the Gong family...
No need to ask, the housekeeper knows what the consequences will be if he takes another step forward.
"Shaoming, where are you going?"
Gong Shaoming had barely taken two steps when his arm was wrapped around Xu Aizhen's, holding his arm tightly with her palms so hard that her nails pierced into his flesh.
"Are you stepping down now because you want everyone to wait to see my joke? Even if you don't care about my face, what about the face of the Gong family, and my Xu family? If you continue like this, tomorrow the Gong and Xu family will be It will become a joke to the entire upper class society. If I ruin it, my father will never let you go..."
Xu Aizhen was so anxious that she almost yelled. Looking at Gong Shaoming who had his eyes closed and silent, her beautiful eyes immediately softened.
"Shaoming, there's only one step left. As long as we get engaged, all the problems will be solved. I promise to do my best to help you get what you want."
Seeing that Gong Shaoming was relieved, Xu Aizhen gave her gentle and considerate comfort.
"..."
Gong Shaoming stopped and turned to look at Xu Aizhen with strange eyes.
He had always thought that this woman was very smart and had sharper eyes than Minister Xu, but he did not expect that her eyes were so vicious.
It's just that he, Gong Shaoming, wants something and needs her to give it to him?
Getting engaged to her was just to buy time.
But one thing Xu Aizhen said is right. Once he steps down now, he will face tomorrow not only the pressure from the palace elders to force him into the palace, but also the revenge of Minister Xu who holds military power and loves his daughter...
Since I chose Xu Aizhen at the beginning and hurt An Moran to this point, is there any point in regretting it now?
