The Rebirth of an Orphan

The people around were stunned. The Gu family in Kyoto? How could it be possible? Not only was it the head of the four major families in Kyoto, but it was also a family of meritorious service like the Ling family in Kyoto. Even the president had to give these two families some face.

Everyone found it incredible, even Zhao Xihua was stunned. She didn't even know the prince of the Gu family in Kyoto, and she had only heard that the Gu family in Kyoto was the most aristocratic family in Kyoto. So the prince wanted to marry her? What on earth was going on?

Sun Xiao's face darkened. The prince of the Gu family knew Zhao Xihua? Could it be that person? But...

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the tall man who was slowly walking in from the door. His well-tailored haute couture suit made his already handsome face look even more stunning.

His whole body was filled with an irrepressible pressure, and his incomparable noble aura overwhelmed everyone present, not even the bright and handsome Sun Xiao.

Zhao Xihua's eyes widened when she saw him. Why was it him? The Fifth Madam, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Isn't this the subordinate who follows Mr. Deng?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something and quickly covered her mouth. The people around her looked at her as if she was an idiot.

It turns out that Gu Lun has been hiding his identity all along. If Gu Lun was just a subordinate, how could he get Master Deng to serve him?

Gu Lun didn't look at anyone else, but just walked towards where Zhao Xihua was standing. The group of people who followed Gu Lun into the main hall at this time were not ordinary bodyguards, but Gu family's personal guards.

At this time, Zhao Xihua was also surprised and felt complicated. She thought that this bastard had disappeared long ago and would never bother her again. She didn't expect that he would show up in such an occasion and even ask to marry her.

He didn't know how to deal with this person. This person was both good and evil and really hard to figure out.

When Zhao Siqi wanted to kill her before, he came out to help her. When she offended Qin Xiaoxiao, he also protected her. Later, he came to Huichuntang to help her, and even broke into her room and kissed her forcibly before disappearing.

She stared coldly at this man who made her feel a little disgusted and a little afraid. Now that she knew his true identity, she felt a little at a loss.

Gu Lun stared at Zhao Xihua, his eyes vicious yet a little playful, and then he raised his hand and stroked her cheek in front of everyone.

Zhao Xihua abruptly avoided his touch and said, "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself."

Gu Lun saw that Zhao Xihua looked thinner than before. It had been a while since he last saw her, yet she had managed to get herself into such a state of disgrace.

A lot of things happened in their Gu family these days. He didn't want to go back to clean up the mess, but some people just deserved a beating. They actually dared to attack his grandfather, and he couldn't tolerate that.

Although he disliked his father very much, he was the only heir of the Gu family and he had to go back to see him. Finally, with the support of his grandfather, he managed to secure his position as the crown prince of the Gu family. Only then did he have time to inquire about Zhao Xihua's situation. He didn't expect that this woman would live such a cowardly life.

Thinking of this, Gu Lun glanced at Sun Xiao, whose face was livid, and raised his voice and said, "Fourth Miss, since no one in the Sun family is protecting you and they are trying to find ways to not marry you, why don't you consider the choice of the young mistress of the Gu family in Kyoto?"

Sun Xiao's face became even gloomier. He moved his lips but couldn't refute because he did feel guilty towards Zhao Xihua. After all, he was a coward and had no way to resist Miss Nangong's authority.

He just didn't understand how a family like the Gu family could accept a little adopted daughter from Yuncheng. According to Gu Lun's status, his marriage partner must be the daughter of a rich and powerful family. How could Zhao Xihua, with her status, enter the Gu family?

So he looked at Gu Lun coldly and said, "Mr. Gu, if you just want to have fun, don't make trouble here and don't harm the fourth lady."

"I harmed her?" Gu Lun laughed, "Sun Xiao, you are joking, right? Let me tell you, the person I, Gu Lun, want to marry is Mingzheng Yanshun's wife."

Then he snapped his fingers, and a personal guard behind him brought in a box. Gu Lun opened the box and took out a pair of jade bracelets from it.

The pair of jade bracelets were carved from rare blood jade and engraved with the Gu family's unique family emblem. These jade bracelets were usually kept by the elders in the family.

"This pair of jade bracelets is our Gu family's heirloom bracelets. Only the eldest grandson and the eldest daughter-in-law are qualified to wear them. This is also my betrothal gift to the fourth young lady. My sincerity is no joke." Gu Lun showed the bracelets to everyone. Everyone was stunned. Gu Lun's momentum was too big.

Sun Xiao's face turned pale, and his heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something. He didn't expect that Gu Lun really wanted to marry Zhao Xihua.

He had been thinking about finding some way to keep Zhao Xihua by his side, but now he had no chance at all. He looked at Zhao Xihua with some despair, hoping that this girl would reject Gu Lun.

After all, the Gu family in Kyoto is really not a place that girl can play in. It would be very difficult for Zhao Xihua, who has no roots, to survive there.

Then Gu Lun walked in front of Zhao Xihua, grabbed Zhao Xihua's wrist and was about to put the pair of blood jade bracelets on her wrist.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xihua pulled her hand out of Gu Lun's hand. Although Gu Lun threw her an irresistible temptation, she had experienced the tragic experience in her previous life, so how could she dare to marry into such a noble family.

She was willing to marry into the Sun family for her own purposes and difficulties, and no matter how powerful the Gu family in Kyoto was, it had nothing to do with her.

Looking at the man who had deceived everyone, she said, "Mr. Gu, we are not suitable for each other. I am of low status and do not deserve Mr. Gu's kindness. Sorry, I cannot agree to your request."

There were gasps from all around. This Zhao Xihua actually resisted this marriage. If it went through, she would be like a phoenix flying up the tree. Who gave her such courage and confidence?

In fact, if Zhao Xihua had not experienced the pain in her previous life, she might have been tempted by such generous conditions from Gu Lun. But she was holding her breath now. Her biological parents were angry for no apparent reason, and her master also died for no apparent reason. She just wanted to find the truth and avenge them.

Gu Lun doesn't look like an easy person to get along with, and there will be big troubles if you follow him.

But Gu Lun's expression just changed slightly. He looked at Zhao Xihua and leaned over to Zhao Xihua's ear and whispered, "Fourth Miss, can we talk for a moment?"

But Zhao Xihua just smiled faintly and said, "No need, let's stop here. Mr. Gu, please go back. There are so many girls from aristocratic families, there will always be one girl who suits Mr. Gu's heart."

Gu Lun's face changed when he heard this. He suddenly grabbed Zhao Xihua's hand and dragged her out the door.
