Capítulo 1466: Chapter 1479:
“And what about Gu Qing? Is she not your daughter too? Can you bear to watch her suffer at the Mu Family?” After speaking, Liang Youi’s shoulders twitched as she let out a low sob.
“My poor Gu Qing, she’s the apple of my eye.”
“Suffer at the Mu Family? Do you know that their wealth surpasses that Wu guy by countless tis?” Gu Guoqiang scolded Liang Youi, pointing at her with a hand that trembled slightly.
“It’s said that Young Master Mu Yunfan of the Mu Family has a hidden ailnt and avoids the light. Have you ever seen him at any important occasion? He has a subordinate nad Wu An, who is not only unpleasant to look at but also ruthless, using all ans to achieve his goals, dabbling in both underworld and legitimate businesses. For soone like him to be used by Mu Yunfan, it shows just how cruel a character Yunfan is. No, I can’t let my daughter marry and suffer abuse there.”
Liang Youi was resolute, and her makeup had run, leaving her looking like a mottled cat because of her tears.
Gu Guoqiang was even more incensed by her words, “Gu Wan is also my daughter, my dearest one! No matter what, hasn’t she called you Auntie for so many years? How could you do such a thing?”
“Forget about whether Young Master Mu finds out or not. Even if he doesn’t, Gu Qing is a socialite in the finance world. What about Gu Wan? Have you considered the consequences? With just a word, the Mu Family could crush us, leaving us unable to rise again.”
Gu Wan stood dazed at the entrance, and the clatter of keys dropping to the floor, making a crisp sound, startled the two arguing people in the living room, bringing the absent-minded Gu Wan back to reality.
Gu Guoqiang glared at Liang Youi, warning her not to speak recklessly in front of Gu Wan. Liang Youi, feeling unwilling, sat sullenly on the sofa without a word.
Gu Wan picked up the keys, addressed her father with a “Daddy,” and prepared to go upstairs.
She hadn’t taken a few steps when Liang Youi, noticing she didn’t greet her, felt displeased again. “A young girl staying out all night, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Gu Wan’s steps halted, perhaps struck by her words, causing her unease and a change in complexion. Despite her longstanding dissatisfaction with Liang Youi, she still put on a well-behaved front in front of her father. Although Liang Youi was the one questioning her, Gu Wan replied to Gu Guoqiang, “Sorry, sothing happened with my classmate, and I forgot to call and reassure you, making you worry.”
“It’s okay. You look very pale. Didn’t rest well last night?” Gu Guoqiang’s tone softened significantly.
“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head upstairs first.”
With that, Gu Wan turned to leave.
Seeing her disregard her presence and never look at her, Liang Youi beca even angrier, her sharp voice rising, “Classmates? Sounds nice. I heard from Gu Qing that she saw you at the bar entrance with a man, weren’t you ssing around with a man last night?”
Gu Wan’s body shuddered as if caught red-handed, a mix of anger and worry surging through her, making her dizzy.
“Shut up! Get back to your room if there’s nothing!” Gu Guoqiang scolded fiercely, then, turning to Gu Wan, gently said, “Your auntie speaks without thinking; don’t mind her. Go back to your room and rest.”
With difficulty, Gu Wan steadied herself against the wall and gave a faint “hmm” to Gu Guoqiang before going upstairs.
As she was about to enter her room, Gu Qing erged from the room opposite.
Gu Wan glanced at her but didn’t greet her, intending to enter the room.
Yesterday, Gu Qing had seen her boyfriend frequently being nice to Gu Wan, fueling her anger. Now, seeing Gu Wan ignoring her, not even greeting her as “sister,” her face darkened, and she asked, “Gu Wan, where did you go yesterday?”
“Don’t you already know where I went?” Gu Wan retorted. She admitted she had always taken on a ek and obedient deanor at ho, which did not an she had no temper. “Yesterday, you clearly saw soone taking
away. Why did you pretend not to see it?”
Gu Wan’s face flushed with anger, her hands uncontrollably trembling.
“Yesterday?” Gu Qing feigned contemplation, her fingers with red nail polish brushing against her forehead, then pretended to have a realization. “Oh, you an yesterday? Heh, Gu Wan, how can you have the nerve to bring up yesterday?”
“Wasn’t that all arranged by you?”
“Gu Qing, you’re too full of yourself. Arrangent? I was just punished for losing a ga. On the contrary, it was you who left without a word, causing
to lose face. Now everyone knows I have a sister who doesn’t know manners.”
“…” Gu Wan was furious, her chest tightening painfully.
Gu Qing sneered, “Gu Wan, what if Dad knew his precious daughter drinks, and her drinking tolerance is not bad?”
Can drink?
Not bad tolerance?
Gu Wan sneered coldly. Not even having finished a drink, she ran to vomit in the bathroom, and that’s called not bad tolerance?
“Why did you tell Dad and Auntie that I was hugging a man at the bar yesterday?”
“Isn’t it true? I clearly saw a man holding you as you ca out of the bathroom. Although I didn’t see the man’s face clearly, he seed to have a good build. So, weren’t you together last night?”
Gu Qing’s eyes were full of disdain, as if saying, “Don’t pretend, I saw it all.”
“Since sister saw
with him, why didn’t you step forward to stop it?”
Why let him take her away?
“… I thought you knew him. Besides, you were the one clinging to him. I thought he might be your new boyfriend, so I…”
“So you didn’t ask? So you pretended not to care? So you told Dad and Auntie I was ssing around with a man yesterday?!”
Gu Wan’s attitude caught Gu Qing off guard.
She did follow to see what was happening yesterday, only to be stopped by several fierce black-clothed n. Since Gu Wan’s life or death had nothing to do with her, she backed off again.
But never had she dared to speak to her this way. How had the always compliant sister beco like this?
Gu Qing was stunned for a mont, then snapped back to reality. For so reason, being stared down by Gu Wan made her feel guilty. She feigned calmness, disinclined to continue the conversation, and walked away.
As she passed by Gu Wan, she deliberately bumped her shoulder, letting out a cold “hmph” before heading downstairs.
After Gu Qing left, Gu Wan’s suppressed emotions suddenly collapsed. She numbly returned to her room, and when the door closed, it was as if all the strength had been drained from her body, causing her to slide down to the floor on the door panel.
Tears stread down her cheeks, salty, and she didn’t even have the strength to wipe them away…
