Gu Rou glared at him. âMind your own business before you mind othersâ!â she scolded.
Gu Wan looked at Gu Rou and asked, âWhat should we do now? Have you still not found Du Juan yet?â
âNo, someone must have hidden her away. If I find out whoâs hiding her, theyâll suffer!â Gu Rou said venomously.
âI really donât understand why you guys insist on keeping her alive,â Gu Fei commented coldly. âItâs just a child; I can have more in the future. Why put all your expectations on her child?â
His sisters didnât look at him. Feeling snubbed, Gu Fei got up to leave, saying, âEither way, I donât care. You all should settle the trouble youâve caused yourselves. Donât bother me, and Big Sis, take down the trending searches about me! I donât care how you do it or how much money it takes! Iâve just made some progress with Xi Feng. You guys canât ruin it for me!â Gu Rou scowled at him. Gu Fei hugged her and whined, âBig Sis, you gotta help
Gu Rou couldnât take it anymore and pushed him away. âAlright, fine. Iâll handle it, but you have to behave yourself. You canât cause any more trouble!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Fei placed two fingers on his forehead and playfully saluted her before he carefreelv left. Gu Xiang sighed. âI donât know what I owed him in my previous life to have to clean up his mess after him endlessly in this life.â
Gu Rou shot her a look. âCut the crap. Hurry up and get someone to take down the trending searches. Gu Jing, keep an eye on Yun Liu. I keep having the feeling that sheâll ruin our plans! Big Sis and I will continue to look for that b*tch, Du Juan!â
A slap landed on Yun Liuâs face, tilting her head to the side. The sudden movement pulled at her collarbone injury and sent a sharp pain through her body, causing her tears to fall involuntarily.
Yun Liu questioned a furious Bai Jie as she cried, âAuntie, what was that for?â She had just gotten her collarbone checked and completed the hospitalization procedures. The crystal fruit plate had fractured her collarbone, so she needed convalescence. She was home to pack up and wait for the hospitalâs call. Zheng Xiu felt slightly guilty about the whole thing and was comforting her when Bai Jie and Chang Hui barged in, and Bai Jie just slapped her without warning.
Chang Hui was indifferent, while Zheng Xiuâs face darkened. âWhatâs the meaning of this, Bai Jie? Yun Liuâs your niece, and itâs only right for you to teach her a lesson if she did something wrong, but you have to give us a reason, right?â
Bai Jie coolly stared at her sister-in-law, who usually hid behind Chang Hui and never dared to speak up. âSheâs finally showing her true colors. As expected, sheâs not as timid and subservient as she seems.â
Chang Hui quickly went up to play the mediator when she heard Zheng Xiuâs words, âBai Jie, donât be angry. Zheng Xiu has always been honest. I reckon she still doesnât know about it!â
She then turned to Zheng Xiu and sighed, âZheng Xiu, dear, I donât want to criticize you, but since Yun Liu has returned to our family, you should do your part in educating her. If you canât manage that, just let me know, and Bai Jie and I will help you teach her. Look what sheâs done; she doesnât even treat us like family!â
Chang Hui continued, âShe actually spread the rumor that Gu Fei has an illegitimate child! Our Gu Fei is the next head of the family; how could she slander him like this? Heâs her cousin! The news that Gu Fei has an illegitimate son is now on the trending list! Tell me, how are we supposed to resolve this?â
Shocked, Zheng Xiu turned to look at Yun Liu, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Zheng Xiu gave it some thought and already had an idea of how the entire situation came to be. Facing Chang Hui, who was gloating over her misfortune, Zheng Xiu coldly said, âChang Hui, did you not know that Gu Fei brought Gu He to a bar? Not only did he get him drunk, he even wanted to bring him to Devilâs
Hamlet to âbroaden his horizons.ââ
âWhat did you say?â Chang Hui asked sharply.
âThose two have the closest relationship in the family, so whatâs the big deal about Gu Fei taking Gu He out to play?â Bai Jie frostily replied.
Chang Hui felt her chest tighten in anger. âIf that isnât a big deal, then what is? she inwardly fumed.
Bai Jie glanced at them coolly and uttered, âGu Rou spent five million dollars to take that news down from the trending list. Yun Liuâs the one who spread the rumor, so you guys have to pay her back!â With that, Bai Jie turned around and left.
Chang Hui exclaimed, âDo you hear the nonsense sheâs spouting? Itâs her son on the trending list, and she wants us to foot the bill! Pah!â
Zheng Xiu looked at her fence-sitter of a sister-in-law and felt bitterly disappointed, thinking, âHow did such a stupid fool become my sister-in-law? Itâs this woman who spoiled my son into a worthless, recalcitrant man!
Chang Hui gloatingly stated, âLook at her acting so high and mighty now, hmph! Sheâs in for some interesting times in the future! Weâll give her the five million and then spend another five million to put Gu Fei back on the trending list! Weâll see how she likes that!â
Yun Liu didnât respond. She kept looking outside, her hair covering the side of her face. Chang Hui noticed Yun Liuâs mood and awkwardly said, âThen, Iâll leave you guys in peace. Yun Liu, take good care of yourself. I have to go back and check on Gu He.. Oh, dear, how could you hit your little brother? Donât you dare do it again, alright?â
