"Last night, I saw my cousin at her house," Gu Yubai said darkly.
Clearly, she was his fiancée, yet she was seducing another man.
Just thinking about it made him furious.
n are like this. Even if it's a woman they don't want, they don't want to see her belong to another man. Especially when that man is better and more honorable than him!
"What did you say?" Mrs. Gu asked in disbelief. "You an Qi Cheng was at her house?"
"How could this be?" Gu Xinran was also anxious. "Can she even touch soone like Qi Cheng? That shaless woman..."
"I'm off to work now. I'll go find her this afternoon. You don't need to go!" He knew that with his mother and sister's personalities, they might do sothing undesirable.
However, once he left, Mrs. Gu and Gu Xinran couldn't sit still.
Mrs. Gu was worried that Ji Yunhuan could be seducing the pillar of the Gu Family Residence, and Gu Xinran was worried that Ji Yunhuan might seduce the man she liked...
The two won couldn't care less about anything else and directly went to Ji Yunhuan's house.
Early in the morning, Ji Yunhuan was woken up by her alarm clock, rembering she still had work to do. She dragged herself out of bed despite her exhaustion. While dressing, she suddenly recalled her conversation with Qi Cheng the previous night.
He didn't seem to be joking, but...
She still had to do her work.
Regardless of whether she would marry him in the end, she didn't want to get her hopes up too high.
She opened the door and walked out, only to see a crowd of people at the entrance. It was Mrs. Gu and Gu Xinran!
They were backed by a group of bodyguards dressed in black.
The hallway, already narrow, was blocked by them, forcing Ji Yunhuan to stop.
"Mrs. Gu, Ms. Gu," she greeted coldly.
"Ji Yunhuan!" Gu Xinran's tone was harsh. She was the first to stand in front of Ji Yunhuan, her eyes scanning her. Noticing Ji Yunhuan still looked as down and out as ever, she felt slightly relieved.
This proved that she and Qi Cheng didn't have any deep relationship.
At the sa ti, it proved that the current Ji Yunhuan could be easily bullied by her.
She smirked disdainfully. "I heard from my brother that Qi Cheng was at your house last night?"
Presumably, the mother and daughter rushed over here to confirm this!
Just hearing that she was with Qi Cheng made them lose their composure?
Their reaction made Ji Yunhuan even more determined to marry Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng was the pillar of the Gu Family Residence. If she married Qi Cheng, she would certainly drive this family mad enough to be hospitalized!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan didn't deny it. "So what if he was?"
"You shaless woman! You haven't even broken off your engagent with our Yubai, and you're already seducing another man!" Mrs. Gu stord up angrily.
"Engagent?" Ji Yunhuan laughed coldly. "What engagent? When he was engaged to , wasn't he also with other won?"
Her fiancé never cared about sparing her feelings, so why should she consider Gu Yubai's position?
"He's a man. You're a woman, how can it be the sa?" Mrs. Gu's face, once dignified and graceful, was now filled with anger. Her indignation made her even bring up the absurd gender double standard.
Ji Yunhuan unexpectedly nodded in agreent with her. "Mrs. Gu, you're right. n and won are indeed different... That reminds of sothing."
"What is it?"
"A few days ago, I accidentally saw Chairman Gu with a young woman. At the ti, I felt sorry for you, Mrs. Gu. But now it seems, it's sothing you probably allowed! After all, in Mrs. Gu's eyes, n and won are different." Ji Yunhuan said this with utmost sincerity, her gaze unusually focused.
It was as if she were stating a fact.
Mrs. Gu's face turned gray in fear. "What did you say?"
Her husband was with another woman?
How could she allow such a thing to happen?
Watching Mrs. Gu's panicked state, Ji Yunhuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Detecting the contempt in Ji Yunhuan's eyes, Gu Xinran quickly ca to her mother's aid, "Mom, don't believe her. She's lying."
Mrs. Gu was snapped out of her shock by Gu Xinran's words.
Glaring hatefully at Ji Yunhuan, she fud, "You wretched woman, you have the nerve to..."
"Didn't Mrs. Gu herself say that n and won are different? I thought you wouldn't care about such things! Turns out, just a little lie from , and you're this nervous! Mrs. Gu, if you can't uphold your own standards, don't force them on others. The most shaless people in the world are those who hold double standards for themselves and others." Ji Yunhuan used to call her Aunt Gu out of respect. Now, she wouldn't use that term again.
In fact, she wished she could take back every ti she used it in the past.
Her arrogant attitude infuriated Mrs. Gu. She couldn't be bothered to reason with her, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you black-hearted wretch!"
Her original intention was to co and discipline Ji Yunhuan. Especially since Ji Yunhuan humiliated her, she no longer intended to show rcy.
Gu Xinran quickly instructed, "Grab Ji Yunhuan."
They rushed up, trying to seize her just like that day at the Gu Family Residence...
"Stop!" A cold voice echoed in the hallway.
The black-clad bodyguards paused.
It was Ji Yunhuan who spoke, but her icy deanor was so imposing. Her gaze so domineering, that they instinctively stopped.
An angry Mrs. Gu urged, "What are you waiting for? Grab her!"
Ji Yunhuan stood with dignity, no trace of panic in her eyes. Her calmness caused the bodyguards to hesitate.
She looked steadily at Mrs. Gu, "Before you act, Mrs. Gu, consider this. Though you don't want to acknowledge it, and I don't want you to either, in the eyes of others, I am still Gu Yubai's fiancée. If word gets out, aren't you afraid of disgracing the Gu Family Residence?"
Mrs. Gu was stunned.
Gu Xinran snorted, "That day, so many saw deal with you. Who helped you then?"
"Do you think it's the sa? So many people saw fight back that day. But now... no one is here to see. It's my word against yours. It doesn't matter if I get beaten, but can Mrs. Gu afford the Gu Family Residence's reputation to be trashed too?" Knowing Mrs. Gu's obsession with face-saving, Ji Yunhuan knew exactly how to hit her where it hurt.
If Gu Xinran alone had co today, she wouldn't have a way out. She'd probably get beaten again, but with Mrs. Gu here...
Mrs. Gu said, "Do you think your words will stop from touching you?"
"Of course not. I believe you're willing to beco a murderer and make sure I, Ji Yunhuan, disappear forever, unable to utter a word again. If you have the guts, go ahead. Otherwise, as long as I'm alive today, I will make sure the ugliest versions of Mrs. Gu spread all over City A."
