But this time, Su Xi's heartbeat fastened with her eyes widening as she heard Elder Madam's name. What came inside her mind was the last meeting that she had with none other than Grandmother Gu.

'She simply asked me to stay away from Gu Yan. but now what? She is inviting Ye Nian on her own when she knows perfectly that she is my daughter?' this was interesting.

But no one was aware that she had met grandmother Gu behind everyone's back.

And she had no idea to reveal it to anyone else because that was something that was between them.

Seeing his mother in a daze, Ye Shing touched her shoulders to bring her out of the daze. "Mom? are you okay?" 

Ye SHing had no idea what was happening in her mind and why she suddenly looked o tensed?

Coming back into her senses, Su Xi looked at Ye Shing and gently nodded her head. But then, her hands went on her forehead to see whether she had any fever because all of the sudden, her body's temperature was rising.

"I think you should go and take some rest. Today was a hectic day for your mum. It would be better for you to take a nap and then be fresh and continue your office work." Ye Shing suggested and Su Xi totally agreed but because at this time, she needed a good sleep.

Taking her to leave his room, Su Xi stepped inside her room and closed the door behind to stand with its support.

Her head was now a mess. She had no idea what Gu Yan is up to. Last time, he had taken her daughter away from her but did not stop her from talking with her.

'What does Grandmother Gu want from Ye Nian? I hope she isn't planning something fishy.' Su XI was aware of how heartless that lady is. 

A person, who can kill her own blood, just for the sake of saving their reputation, is just an act of foolishness.

The day she read that they both have made their eldest daughter killed because she was in relation with someone who wasn't of their standards.

"Let it be, Su Xi. it doesn't matter to you anymore. Le Gu Yan handles it." She tried to convince herself l over it but it was difficult for her too.

…

Time flew and the news channels too stoped making seeing Rex's murder.

The news had died down, along with the investigation because Chen Juan made sure that no stone was left behind, indicating Su Xi in it.

The weekend arrived and it was the time to meet Elders of Gu daily.

Ye Nian was standing in her room, trying to decide what to wear because her wardrobe was filled with formal wear.

'It is the first time I'm meeting them. I should leave a good impression.' keeping this thought in her mind, Ye Nian had to choose a perfect outfit, which will suit her elder's liking.

But it was difficult.

She tried to ask Gu Yan but he simply replied that she can do anything she wishes to, which did not make her much happiness.

"Ugh! How difficult is it to impress the elders?! Damn!" She was getting more and more irritated as no dress was now coming into her liking for the event of the dinner.

But then, the door opened from her behind. She turned around to found none other than her teacher and her father's close friend, Shi Yu.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu obviously noticed the frown on her face when he entered, which she hid very well but he had more blunt eyes. 

"What is making you worry? You should get ready. Gu Yan Will be out in a few minutes!" Shi Yu can't help but comment. Although he wasn't coming with them, Gu Yan had asked him to help Ye Nian, by chance if she was feeling nervous about meeting Elder Master and Madam.

But to his surprise, she wasn't even ready till now.

"i...I don't know what to wear today." Ye Nian replied in a very slow voice.

She found it weird to discuss her clothing problem with someone, who was her tuition teacher.

But then, something came to her mind as she asked him a second question, "Have you, great-grandmother and grandfather?" 

Hearing this, Shi Yu's mood soured but despite that, he replied to her in a flat tone, "Yes. I have met them many times." 

"Then, can you tell me how they are? What should I wear to impress them? I mean, you do know that the first impression is the last impression." Ye Nian did not wish to disappoint them.

Because, today, she wasn't only carrying herself but also her mother's activates and manners that she had taught them after their father had left.

As this was something, which contained her mother's pride, she did not wish to make her feel embarrassed in front of the elders.

Shi Yu stepped forward, near her closed to see what she had in her wardrobe, and was surprised to find so many dresses hanging inside.

"You already have many clothes. Why don't you simply try any?"

"But, I want to wear something which will make Elders like me too. I don't want them to hate me at a single glance!" Ye Nian protested.

Shi Yu can only sigh hearing her statement. 'Why are girls so particular but meeting someone?' he hasn't found an answer to this question till now and he doesn't think so, he will ever find that!

"They like to see that a lady carries herself strongly and powerfully, not like a weakling. Also, go with something powerful, which shows that you are a Gu family's daughter. For them, their name is everything." Shi Yu described some other things that he had noticed in elders but what Ye Nian did not notice was his expressions.

He had a disliking towards the elders of the Gu family and had no interest to impress them in any order. 

Why?

Because he is aware of the dark secrets of the Gu family and what the elders have done, just to keep their family name high! No matter if it hurts the sentiments of someone, or make someone die!

"Hm… so accordingly, I should wear something powerful, which carries my aura. Right?"

'Perfectly. Also, pair up with a good shoe pair for them, looks are very important!." Shi Yu advised her and her simpy took out a long coat from inside of white color.

"Well, will this work?" Ye Nian asked Shi Yu while bringing her dress in front of her.

Shi Yu gulped seeing her innocent look as his eyes were first, staring at her face. But then, he unconsciously replied, "Yeah.."

She was looking too mesmerizing in his eyes and he can't help but take a deep breath...

Ye Nian looked up and hesitantly asked, "C...Can you wait here? I will come outside after changing in a few minutes?" He absent-mindedly nodded his head and went to sit on the couch in her room and started going through his mails at that point, which made Ye Nian relax. 

'At least he is ready to help me in this.' she was grateful for his help, and rushed inside her bathroom, to try the frock coat on.

After five minutes, the bathroom door opened and Shi Yu lifted his eyes to found Ye Nian looking adorable, which was going perfectly with her flawless skin, covering her neck.

For a few fractions of seconds, he was able to shift his eyes from her face and body. But in contrast, as he was feeling awe, Ye Nian was getting nervous by his constant stare.

'Am I not looking good? Shall I change my clothes?' She was getting confused as Shi Yu did not speak anything.

As they had less time, Ye Nia spoke first and asked him, "Shall I change my dress again? Will it impress the elders?" she hesitantly asked.

"What?! Why do you have to change it? Don't! Let it be. It looks too good on you." Shi Yu stood up and went behind her.

Ye Nian was surprised by his actions about what he was trying to do.

"W...What?" 

ZIP!

Shi Yu zipped her back, which made Ye Nian truly embarrassed at that point. She had hoped to him to not notice that her whole back was visible but instead, he got up especially to zip up her dress?

"Don't show your back to anyone else in his lifetime. You look good the way you are and let me remind you, never get jealous or insecure because your beauty is beyond others."

But, Ye Nian built up the courage to ask him, "Do...Do you think I'm beautiful?"
