Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Let Me Ascend to Heaven with a Single Step

Gu Xichen thought he had not thought things through completely, "That’s because you haven’t met her in person. If you did, I’m not sure whether she could argue you to death. If you really want to try, then arrange a meeting with her yourself. I don’t want to be involved."

"Then you invite her to the house, just tell her I want to see her."

Gu Xichen uncertainly said, "She doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. I’m not sure she will come, but I’ll give her a call and ask."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and called Gu Lili, briefly telling her that Mr. Gu wanted to see her. Unexpectedly, Gu Lili agreed to the meeting.

The family simply waited for her arrival.

"Xichen, I heard you broke up with your girlfriend. Auntie sees you’re at the age for marriage. Do you want me to set you up with a few distinguished young ladies?"

"No need, I can find a woman myself."

Gu Li’s mother smiled and nodded, "That’s fine, find someone you like."

...

When Gu Lili arrived, it was around half-past two.

She was wearing a pleated skirt, a knitted top, and a shawl.

She wore a pair of bright red high heels and had a small bag slung over her arm.

She was personally escorted to the Gu Family residence by Tang Qingli.

The master and servant entered the living room and at a glance, saw the family of three from the Gu Family.

Seeing her, the three of them were first taken aback, then Mr. Gu was the first to recover.

He hurriedly stood up and gestured with his hand, "Ah, Lili is here, come sit over here."

Gu Li’s mother graciously called to the servants, "Bring the tea quickly."

Only Gu Xichen sat there, his eyes intently fixed on her.

Gu Lili handed her bag to Tang Qingli behind her, adjusted her shawl, then approached and sat down, leisurely crossing her legs and asking, "I heard Mr. Gu wanted to see me, I’m curious what important matter has brought you the time to meet with an unemployed vagabond like myself?"

She said ’unemployed vagabond’ for a reason.

Firstly, she indeed did not have a job.

Secondly, when she and Gu Xichen were engaged, Mr. Gu was wholly against it and openly disdained her as an unemployed loafer during a conversation with her master.

She was angry back then and told her master that if they weren’t getting engaged, then so be it, as she didn’t have to marry Gu Xichen by any means.

However, her master insisted on their engagement.

Mr. Gu might have also remembered this point, as his face changed colors and he chuckled awkwardly, "How could you be an unemployed vagabond? You are Mrs. Long Yubei, the young mistress of the Long Family, a role not just anyone can fulfill."

"Just get to the point and tell me the purpose of this meeting."

"Lili, look, your master has passed away, you are all alone without any family. The Gu Family is willing to be your family. What do you think?"

"There are so many orphans without family in the orphanage, why doesn’t the Gu Family offer to be family for them? If you dare say it’s because of my master that you made this decision, I dare to slap your face crooked. Now that you know I’m the young mistress of the Long Family, you want to cling to me? What were you thinking? Did you hang your brain on a dog’s head?"

Mr. Gu, having thick skin and being experienced in life, replied, "It’s just a suggestion. If you find it acceptable, you agree. If you find it unacceptable, that’s fine too. Our Gu Family is not of humble origin and cannot be easily compared. Being in-laws with us, anyone mentioning you would no longer consider you a lone girl in the mountains but Miss Gu, a young lady of distinction from the Gu Family."

Gu Lili chuckled lowly, "Well, I’m sorry, but I’d rather be called a lone girl in the mountains than be Miss Gu, the distinguished young lady from your Gu Family. My surname is Gu because my master’s surname is Gu, not because of your Gu Family. To have me call a scoundrel who abandoned his wife ’Dad’, is like asking me to climb a ladder to heaven."
