Unaware of the subtle thoughts of the Gu Family members, Madam Ling chose not to elaborate further after Mother Gu spoke, merely saying, "I see, that's good, that's good."
She couldn't help but find it strange; after a few months apart, Gu Zhiqi seemed like a completely different person.
Previously, Gu Zhiqi was utterly infatuated with Ling Yuanzhou, clearly determined to marry no one else.
However, this change was for the best.
Although the Gu Family hadn't expelled Gu Zhiqi, she was ultimately not their biological child.
No matter how favored she was now, what if one day she fell out of favor?
She didn't want such a daughter-in-law.
As for Gu Xiyue…
Just a girl from the countryside; aside from being somewhat attractive and having good grades, she had no other merits.
She didn't want such a daughter-in-law either.
In fact, Ling Yuanzhou had mentioned dissolving the engagement to Madam Ling quite some time ago.
