Is it just because her family prohibits her from participating in beauty pageants?
Gu Qingdai looked at the frail-looking Chu He and said, "If you really want me to help you, you have to tell me the truth."
Chu He knew that she would not be able to pass this test, and she did not want to hide anything from Gu Qingdai.
However, she had just gathered up the courage and before she could tell Gu Qingdai clearly, the two of them were discovered by the security guard again.
Fortunately, Chuhe had a "criminal record", otherwise they would have been regarded as miscreants if they were wandering around in the dance hall.
But the security guard still had a headache when he saw Chu He, so he basically didn't talk nonsense and went to get a steel fork to lift them out of the door.
The two of them sneaked away into the back alley of the dance hall, originally to avoid the mother-in-law of the Chu family who might be chasing them, but they accidentally bumped into the girls who had successfully entered the semi-finals.
Gu Qingdai and Chu He were hiding in the dark and saw the girls boarding two black cars and speeding away.
Gu Qingdai recognized one of them, it was Song Yueting's car.
And those girls were all whom Gu Qingdai had met in Osmanthus Tower not long ago.
"They are..."
Chu He could guess the whereabouts of those girls and knew that it was a dirty and shameless exchange, so she felt a little unconvinced.
Gu Qingdai wrote them down one by one and comforted Chu He jokingly, "Even if the opportunity to advance is given to you now, you won't be able to grasp it."
Chuhe smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "That's true, I really can't do that kind of errand."
"So why don't you think about it again? Maybe you won't get a good ranking in the beauty pageant. Don't end up not getting the bonus, and then falling out with your family, and it will be all in vain."
Gu Qingdai warned in every possible way, how can there be any regret medicine in this world?
"I was betrothed by my father to a paralytic who was suffering from tuberculosis." Chuhe explained the reason unspeakably.
To put it nicely, the Chu family kept their promise and the marriage between the two families had been decided many years ago.
In fact, they just want the other party's family to be rich, so that Chu He can "repay" his mother's family with many betrothal gifts.
The Chu family continued everything from the previous dynasty, except for the option of wealth.
The education Chuhe had received since she was a child was that if a man touched her shoulder, she should chop it off to prove her innocence.
She always thought that the outside world was like that. It wasn't until the previous dynasty fell and she was lucky enough to walk out of the deep house courtyard a few times that she realized that the world had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The marriage to the paralyzed man was put on the family agenda, which accelerated Chuhe's awakening.
When the Miss Luancheng beauty pageant was held, she decided to destroy her "innocence" and nip the marriage in the cradle.
"Qing Dai, when my photos are spread to major newspapers in Luancheng, I will no longer meet their standards for choosing a wife."
"You have become a 'immoral' and 'unruly' woman."
There were tears in Chu He's eyes, but what Gu Qingdai felt was her indomitable spirit.
"My mother is a typical husband who guides his wife. Even if my father refers to a deer as a horse, she doesn't see any problem."
"Where are your sisters and brothers?" Gu Qingdai asked the key point.
Chu He smiled in astonishment: "I have older brothers and younger brothers. If my mother is really beaten to death by my father, who would blame me or them?"
"Once you take this step, you will be alone and helpless."
"It's better than fighting a paralytic, right?"
If Gu Qingdai wants to win over Chu He, they must formulate a detailed action plan.
As the saying goes, hard work will not yield good results, you must rely on wisdom.
Cho He went home as usual today. She could hide as much as she could about the situation in the beauty pageant. When she was found out, she was sincere and admitted her mistake over and over again.
The wedding was only two months away, and Chu's family did not dare to arbitrarily serve the family. Otherwise, Chu He would have been beaten half to death and would not be able to get married before the paralyzed family found out the truth and broke off the engagement.
Gu Qingdai was looking for a safe place for Chu He in Luancheng City. After the beauty pageant was over, she published a newspaper to sever the relationship between father and daughter and fled Chu's home.
Gu Qingdai didn't carry many banknotes with her, so she took them all out and stuffed them into Chu He's hand.
Chu He refused to accept it no matter what, forcing Gu Qingdai to do nothing, so she had to ask her to go back and write an IOU, and pay it back later when she had the money.
"Our appointment with Mr. Gong is in three days. You must arrange for the servants to release you."
"I understand, Qingdai, thank you so much."
"I didn't do anything. It's you who is brave."
Gu Qingdai was heartbroken and separated from Chu He. This path seemed feasible, but Gu Qingdai understood that if there was a problem in any link, Chu He would never be able to appear in front of her again.
Every time we meet is like the last farewell.
She looked at Chu He's retreating back, without stopping at all, and rushed to the Lu family in a hurry.
She knew it was dinner time, but she couldn't care so much. She had to see Lu Mingze immediately.
Sure enough, the whole Lu family was eating together. When Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu saw Gu Qingdai coming to the door, they enthusiastically invited her to sit down and eat together.
Gu Qingdai kept winking at Lu Mingze, and Lu Mingze took Gu Qingdai back to his room to talk.
But the two of them couldn't stay in the house for more than a quarter of an hour before they left the Lu family in a hurry.
Mrs. Lu stretched her slender neck and looked out, "What happened to these two children? They were so mysterious that they left without eating."
Mr. Lu was calmer, "Why do you care so much?"
"You are very proud of Miss Gu." Mrs. Lu could see her husband's attitude.
Mr. Lu nodded happily, "Don't you think they are a good match?"
"Qingdai is pretty good. It doesn't matter if she comes from a bad background. I just don't like the kind of business she does." Mrs. Lu kept talking.
Lu Minglan, who had been silent all this time, lightly poured cold water on her, "Maybe Sister Qingdai doesn't like my eldest brother!"
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu said in unison: "Why?!"
Lu Mingze sneezed several times in the car, "My parents must be talking about us."
Gu Qingdai had been hungry all day, and her stomach was growling, "You didn't take the beauty photos with you, and you put them back in the store."
"Why should I carry those with me!"
While they were talking, they had arrived at Lu Kee's store, and Lu Mingze found photos of a group of beauties in the office.
Gu Qingdai quickly sifted through the photos and quickly pulled out the photos of the girls.
"Do you have any impression of these people?"
Lu Mingze looked at several photos: "These two have...this one doesn't..."
"Chu He and I saw them getting into Song Yueting's car. Are you used to that kind of thing?" Gu Qingdai expressed it cryptically.
"This is to treat my Lu family as a fool."
"Thinking from Song Yueting's point of view, even if Lan Lan wins the crown, it is impossible for her to become the queen of singing and dancing in the Yuemen Ballroom."
"I didn't agree to sponsor this competition at the beginning."
"This Mei Jieyu, I guess she is the one Song Yueting wants to admire the most." Gu Qingdai chose one of the girls who was relatively low-key.
Lu Mingze took a closer look and said, "Those ones are more eye-catching. They are all trying to shield her. Song Yueting is really good at diverting attention!"
