Ning Zeyan's smile vanished from his face. He stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Lu Beichen shot me in the leg six years ago, and everyone thought I'd be a cripple for life, right? So the Gu Family used me being a cripple as an excuse to betroth you to Ning Zesheng back then. Now, am I qualified to be responsible for you?"
Gu Xiyao grabbed something randomly and hurled it at him, "Get lost!"
Ning Zeyan squinted at her from where he stood for half a minute before he turned and left. Then he sat in the wheelchair that was left at the entrance and opened the door to leave.
As the New Year approached, Lu Beiyao finally showed up at the Lu Mansion. Everyone thought he was back to celebrate, but he went straight upstairs and dragged Tu Yingying out of the room.
Tu Yingying had been locked in the room upstairs with no one paying her any mind except for the servants who delivered meals regularly. Everyone had almost forgotten that someone was locked in that room.
