She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first

Gu Shiye must not be the only one behind this.

Ren Qingxue never thought that if their Ren family did not have countless exploitable loopholes, no matter what the people behind the scenes did, the Ren family would not be in the situation it is today.

She just didn't dare to mention Gu Shiye's matter out of guilt, fearing that it was really Gu Shiye. Then, the entire Ren family would blame her.

Ren Qingxue has been very low-key during this period and doesn't dare to look for Gu Shiye again.

However, it was useless for her to look for her again, as Gu Shiye had already instructed the security guards and the front desk not to let Ren Qingxue in.

Ren Qingxue now loves and hates Gu Shiye.

She originally thought that Gu Shiye must still have some feelings for her.

Being ambiguous with Lin Tingyu was just to make her angry.

But if that was the case, it would be impossible for Gu Shiye to have completely avoided looking for her in the past month.

Ren Qingxue was a little frustrated. At this point, she had to admit that she might have misjudged...

Gu Shiye may really have no feelings for her anymore.

Five years ago, she was so heartless that Gu Shiye no longer had any affection for her as a childhood sweetheart.

Ren Qingxue was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.

What made her even more uneasy was that her father didn't know that she had offended Gu Shiye. After finally cleaning up the mess at Ren's, he actually asked her about how she and Gu Shiye were getting along.

"How's your talk with Gu Shiye going? If it's almost done, let's make it a decision sooner."

Ren's is now in urgent need of help from other companies. Seeing that Uncle Ren has retired early this time, Ren Jiayue was scolded and became a hot topic, and lost his job, Ren's was also greatly affected, so they immediately changed their attitudes. Some of them even stopped answering the phone calls from Ren's father, and some just laughed it off and had no intention of cooperating with Ren's at all.

The outside world now judges that the Ren family’s backing is not as strong as before and may be brought down at any time.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to have anything to do with the Ren family, for fear that someone above them would really want to target the Ren family and they would suffer an unexpected disaster.

After much thought, Ren's father concluded that the only people who had the power and were willing to help him were probably those who were deeply tied to the Ren family.

If it were in the past, the first person he would think of would be the Gu family.

However, ever since Ren's father proposed to postpone the engagement and Gu Shichen found out that Ren Qingxue was interested in Gu Shiye and expressed his dissatisfaction to his family, the Gu family has become cold towards the Ren family.

Given the current situation the Ren family is in, it is even less likely that Father Gu will be able to help them.

Fortunately, Gu Shiye was engaged in an emerging industry supported by the state, and he also had many unique connections, and they were talents that ordinary entrepreneurs like them might not be able to get even if they gave huge gifts.

If he cooperates with Gu Shiye, he can also help the Ren family make a comeback.

That's why Ren's father asked Ren Qingxue about this matter.

Ren Qingxue's expression was a little stiff. "He...he might still be holding a grudge against what happened five years ago."

Father Ren frowned.

Almost two months have passed since Ren Qingxue proposed not to get engaged to Gu Shichen and to be with Gu Shiye.

He thought his daughter's relationship with Gu Shiye was stable and they were now in love.

As a result, according to Qingxue, they are still not together now?

Father Ren was a little dissatisfied:

"What's going on? It's been almost two months. Didn't you say you had a foundation for love?"

Ren Qingxue felt a little guilty at first, but when she heard her father's accusation, she immediately felt aggrieved:

"It's all your fault!"

Ren Qingxue's eyes were red:

"Five years ago, when Gu Shiye was kicked out of the house, you repeatedly advised me not to have any contact with him in the future! He came to the Ren family to find me, but you ignored him and forced me to go out and tell him not to come to me again..."

The more Ren Qingxue spoke, the more she felt that it was her parents' fault.

"If it weren't for this, how could he treat me like this, considering the friendship we grew up together!"

Father Ren rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.

"This kid is too angry..."

Taking a deep breath, Ren's father said:

"So what do you think? Gu Shiye and Gu Shichen, who do you choose?"

Ren Qingxue bit her lower lip and said nothing.

In fact, she couldn't tell at all.

She couldn't say that Gu Shiye had no feelings for her at all, and that her going to see Gu Shiye angered Gu Shichen, so there was no possibility for her and Gu Shichen, right?

Father Ren's face darkened, "Alright, as soon as I see you look like this, I know you still want to choose Gu Shiye."

"Gu Shiye was raised by your uncle Gu and I, and your uncle has always wanted to take him home. I will go meet your uncle tomorrow and try to get you and Gu Shiye engaged first."

"Really?!"

Ren Qingxue's eyes suddenly lit up.

She still had a little hope in her heart.

Maybe Gu Shiye is just unwilling to admit that he still has feelings for her because of his face?

Maybe with Uncle Gu's persuasion, he would accept this opportunity and get engaged to me!

Moreover, she and Lin Tingyu...

Although Lin Tingyu is very beautiful, she is not inferior to Lin Tingyu.

Lin Tingyu is a graduate student at the prestigious Imperial University, but she also graduated from a prestigious overseas university and her academic qualifications are not inferior to Lin Tingyu.

She can even continue her studies in the country and absolutely ensure that her academic qualifications are not inferior to Lin Tingyu.

The most important thing is, even if their Ren family is suffering from all kinds of troubles now, they are still many times better off than Lin Tingyu, who comes from a single-parent family and whose mother is just a retired teacher, right?

Gu Shiye is in the business world, so he must know better who can give him greater help!

Even if Lin Tingyu continued his studies, he would just be an ordinary doctor in the end.

A doctor who could be replaced at any time, compared to her, the eldest daughter of the Ren family, who had the connections of her uncle and cousin, as well as her father's Ren family...

As long as Gu Shiye is not stupid, he should choose her!

Ren Qingxue suddenly became full of confidence again.

Father Ren looked at her and shook his head helplessly:

"Okay, I'm going to swallow my pride... I'm going to apologize for my misjudgment five years ago."

Father Ren did have some regrets.

If he had helped Gu Shiye when Gu Shiye was exposed as the fake young master of the Gu family five years ago, maybe Gu Shiye would be a sharp weapon for their Ren family now.

Even Gu Shiye would be grateful to him and help him, and things with his daughter would just happen naturally.

At first, he just thought that since Gu Shiye was not Mr. Gu’s biological son, he would not be able to inherit the Gu family in the future. So how could he allow his daughter to fall in love with an ordinary person?

Who would have expected that Gu Shiye was so capable and could develop to this point today through his own strength?

Father Ren couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But fortunately, with his relationship with Gu's father, there is a way to make up for it.

When Ren's father found Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu thought he wanted to talk to him about cooperation.

As an old friend, although Mr. Gu was hesitant, after seeing the Ren family lying down, admitting the humiliation, apologizing, and slowly recovering, he was inclined to continue cooperating with the Ren family.
