CHAPTER 1114: 1192: NOT WORTHY OF HONG FEI

Gao Jian felt inferior, believing that someone like him was simply not worthy of Hong Fei.

Dong Huiying looked at him deeply, "I understand Young Master Gao’s thoughts, but what I want to say is that Hong Fei has feelings for you, and I believe she’s not the type of woman who cares about the opinions of others. Moreover, for a widower to remarry requires courage and might be questioned by the world, but there are precedents. Life is long, but also very short. If you miss this opportunity, you might miss a lifetime. I hope Young Master Gao will consider it carefully."

After that, she stood up, preparing to leave with Shujun.

Gao Jian’s attitude was already clear, and she wanted to make a trip to the Luo family next.

But just as she was about to step over the threshold, she suddenly heard Gao Jian ask softly, "Is she... well?"

Dong Huiying paused, then turned back to look at Gao Jian. "She is not well. She is drunk all day, suffering for love, and becoming thin because of love."

After that, she did not linger, and once Dong Huiying and Shujun left, Gao Jian sat in a daze, silent for a long time.

After quite a while, he choked up and said, "Why go through such pain..."

***

The Luo family and the Gao family were very close, just a turn away.

Dong Huiying recalled that Luo Yang had always had a good reputation. Gao Jian’s refusal of Hong Fei was because of his blindness, because of his identity as a widower.

But what about Luo Yang?

Why did he reject Hong Fei?

He is not disabled, he is whole, but he is also a widower. Was it because of this that he rejected Hong Fei?

The Luo family’s doorman recognized Shujun; this gentleman was quite a notable figure, and the Luo family was considered wealthy, but in the vast Jun City, they could only be regarded as a minor household.

And for someone like Shujun, whom even the Shen Aristocratic Family, and the Prefectural Governor had to treat with respect, the Luo family naturally dared not neglect.

Luo Yang received word and came to meet the two.

He had a slightly helpless expression, "Third Master Liang, you’ve come again."

From the word "again," it could be seen that before Dong Huiying’s return, Shujun had come here more than a few times.

Shujun shrugged, "I don’t want to either, but Hong Fei drinks herself into oblivion every day. After all, she belongs to my wife’s household, I cannot just watch her sink further day by day."

At this moment, Luo Yang saw Dong Huiying and smiled gently, "Lady Dong, it’s been more than two years since we last met, it’s been a long time. Please have a seat, I’ll have someone bring tea right away."

"No need, I came today for Hong Fei’s matter," Dong Huiying stopped Luo Yang, not dragging her words, she got straight to the point. "To be honest, before coming to your esteemed house, I visited the Gao family. I’m a bit puzzled, are other people’s views really that important? Does a widower not deserve happiness, cannot remarry? There is no such taboo in Dayuan, and Hong Fei is fond of you both, I’m curious to know how Young Master Luo thinks about this?"

Luo Yang looked at Dong Huiying, his eyes deepened: "Back then, Third Master helped me and Gao Jian once, I said that from then on, whenever Third Master needed, I, Luo Yang, was willing to serve to the best of my abilities, even if the road ahead was perilous."

Dong Huiying raised an eyebrow, "So?"

Luo Yang continued, "If this marriage is what Third Master wants, I would not refuse. Quite frankly, Lady Hong is a good person, both Gao Jian and I have feelings for her. I do not deny this point. Gao Jian doesn’t want to remarry because he feels inferior within, while I am more aware of another matter."
