Gu Rou glared at him. “Mind your own business before you mind others’!” she scolded.
Gu Wan looked at Gu Rou and asked, “What should we do now? Have you still not found Du Juan yet?”
“No, someone must have hidden her away. If I find out who’s hiding her, they’ll suffer!” Gu Rou said venomously.
“I really don’t understand why you guys insist on keeping her alive,” Gu Fei commented coldly. “It’s just a child; I can have more in the future. Why put all your expectations on her child?”
His sisters didn’t look at him. Feeling snubbed, Gu Fei got up to leave, saying, “Either way, I don’t care. You all should settle the trouble you’ve caused yourselves. Don’t bother me, and Big Sis, take down the trending searches about me! I don’t care how you do it or how much money it takes! I’ve just made some progress with Xi Feng. You guys can’t ruin it for me!” Gu Rou scowled at him. Gu Fei hugged her and whined, “Big Sis, you gotta help
Gu Rou couldn’t take it anymore and pushed him away. “Alright, fine. I’ll handle it, but you have to behave yourself. You can’t cause any more trouble!”
Gu Fei placed two fingers on his forehead and playfully saluted her before he carefreelv left. Gu Xiang sighed. “I don’t know what I owed him in my previous life to have to clean up his mess after him endlessly in this life.”
Gu Rou shot her a look. “Cut 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 she’ll ruin our plans! Big Sis and I will continue to look for that b*tch, Du Juan!”
A slap landed on Yun Liu’s 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, “Auntie, what was that for?” 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 hospital’s 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 Xiu’s face darkened. “What’s the meaning of this, Bai Jie? Yun Liu’s your niece, and it’s only right for you to teach her a lesson if she did something wrong, but you have to give us a reason, right?”
Bai Jie coolly stared at her sister-in-law, who usually hid behind Chang Hui and never dared to speak up. ‘She’s finally showing her true colors. As expected, she’s not as timid and subservient as she seems.’
Chang Hui quickly went up to play the mediator when she heard Zheng Xiu’s words, “Bai Jie, don’t be angry. Zheng Xiu has always been honest. I reckon she still doesn’t know about it!’
She then turned to Zheng Xiu and sighed, “Zheng Xiu, dear, I don’t want to criticize you, but since Yun Liu has returned to our family, you should do your part in educating her. If you can’t manage that, just let me know, and Bai Jie and I will help you teach her. Look what she’s done; she doesn’t even treat us like family!”
Chang Hui continued, “She 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? He’s 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?”
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, “Chang 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 Devil’s
Hamlet to ‘broaden his horizons.”‘
“What did you say?” Chang Hui asked sharply.
“Those two have the closest relationship in the family, so what’s the big deal about Gu Fei taking Gu He out to play?” Bai Jie frostily replied.
Chang Hui felt her chest tighten in anger. ‘If that isn’t a big deal, then what is? she inwardly fumed.
Bai Jie glanced at them coolly and uttered, “Gu Rou spent five million dollars to take that news down from the trending list. Yun Liu’s the one who spread the rumor, so you guys have to pay her back!” With that, Bai Jie turned around and left.
Chang Hui exclaimed, “Do you hear the nonsense she’s spouting? It’s her son on the trending list, and she wants us to foot the bill! Pah!”
Zheng Xiu looked at her fence-sitter of a sister-in-law and felt bitterly disappointed, thinking, ‘How did such a stupid fool become my sister-in-law? It’s this woman who spoiled my son into a worthless, recalcitrant man!
Chang Hui gloatingly stated, “Look at her acting so high and mighty now, hmph! She’s in for some interesting times in the future! We’ll give her the five million and then spend another five million to put Gu Fei back on the trending list! We’ll see how she likes that!”
Yun Liu didn’t respond. She kept looking outside, her hair covering the side of her face. Chang Hui noticed Yun Liu’s mood and awkwardly said, “Then, I’ll 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? Don’t you dare do it again, alright?”
