Seeing this, Gu Man straightened her back and said coldly to Xiang Yang and
Yun Nan, “You guys can’t just go around bullying others. Yun Liu is my cousin.
Who gave you the confidence to strut around arrogantly and put down others?”
Xiang Yang rubbed her ear and replied, “I’d like to know who gave you the confidence to call yourself Shi Nian’s fiancée. What a joke! Did you find yourself a backer? How else would you dare to boast so shamelessly!”
Gu Man’s face turned red, and she snapped, “That’s my business; what does that have to do with you? Don’t think that just because Yun Liu is a pushover, I’m easy to bully too!”
“So these two are actually bullies,” Gu Wen haughtily remarked. “No wonder they’re so outrageous. I think they need a lesson; today, I’ll teach you the consequences of bullying others.”
She raised her hand, intending to slap Xiang Yang. Unexpectedly, someone grabbed her hand before she could strike. Yun Nan coolly stated, “Then, what right do you have to bully others?”
Angry that Yun Nan dared to stop her, Gu Wen pushed her hard and answered, “My surname is Gu! That gives me the right!”
Yun Nan didn’t expect her to be so boorish and so strong. The push carried her two steps back, and she accidentally bumped into someone behind her, so she subconsciously apologized, “I’m sorry—”
However, the person behind her held her firmly and uttered detachedly, “So what if your surname is Gu? That doesn’t mean you can hit people as you please. There’s no such privilege.”
Gu Wen’s eyes lit up when she looked toward the speaker. ‘This man is so handsome,’ she thought, stunned by his good looks.
Gu Man feared her lie would be outed and wanted to step back, but Yun Nan stopped her. “Miss Gu, Shi Nian is here. Your cousin said that you’re his fiancée. Please explain yourself. Otherwise, if there’s any discord between us, Miss Gu will definitely be the one to take the blame. You wouldn’t want to be accused of being a homewrecker, would you?”
Shi Nian liked it when Yun Nan was a little aggressive like this, but her words made him frown. “What fiancée? We’re married, and there’s no one else besides you. There’s no discord between us, and there won’t be! There is no other woman, and there never will be!” he declared, feeling quite anxious.
Yun Nan rolled his eyes at him. “Hush! Don’t interrupt me!” Shi Nian obediently shut up but looked at her aggrievedly.
Gu Man naturally didn’t dare to spout nonsense before Shi Nian, but Yun Nan didn’t seem to want to let things go. Seeing this, Gu Wen somewhat understood the situation and thought, ‘I truly wasn’t expecting Shi Nian to be such a handsome man. Gu Man has good taste this time.’
“So you’re Shi Nian!” Gu Wen spoke up. “I didn’t expect we would meet in such a
way. But never mind; we would’ve met sooner or later anyway. I assume you Imow we’re members of the Gu family from White City, right?”
Gu Wen’s face was filled with sisterly love as she continued, “We came with our little brother to meet your little sister and discuss their wedding. I heard my cousin Gu Man also likes you, so we thought it would be good to get both of your weddings sorted out together. That way, our two families will be even more close-knit. ”
Xiang Yang sneered, ‘What? Does no one else want to marry members of your
Gu family? Why are you forcing them onto our Shi family?”
“Who are you to speak for the Shi family? How dare you!” Gu Wen angrily berated. She hated Xiang Yang so much!
“She’s the boss,” Shi Ke answered, standing beside Xiang Yang.
Gu Wen was dumbfounded. After all, Shi Ke and Shi Nian looked too similar. Anyone could tell at a glance that the two were brothers.
“The Gu family of White City, right? I remember Grandpa Gu was a kind and loving person. How could he allow his family members to be so arrogant and domineering? This is my wife, Xiang Yang, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Shi family. May I know what Miss Gu’s status in the Gu family is? Let’s see which of you holds more prestige and who is qualified to speak here?” Shi Ke’s face tensed up as he spoke; he looked even sterner than Shi Nian.
Everyone from the Gu family was shocked. They looked at each other and then at Yun Liu and Gu Man. It’s understandable that they didn’t know Xiang Yang and Yun Nan’s identities and their relationship with the Shi family, but it was impossible for these two not to know. It was inexcusable that they let things develop to this point!
Yun Liu’s heart sank. She quickly went forward and said softly, “Shi Ke, when did you return? It’s been a while. I’m Yun Liu. Do you remember me? I’m the Yun family’s adopted daughter.”
Shi Ke frowned and stated, “You’re that girl from the Yun family?”
Yun Liu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. “Yes, Shi Ke. I’m glad you
remember me.”
“Then, you should know my wife, shouldn’t you? You know even better that Yun Nan is Shi Nian’s wife. You actually allowed the Gu family to misunderstand and didn’t speak up for them and explain. Are you deliberately sitting on the sidelines and watching them fight so you could reap the benefits?”
Yun Liu paled, and tears welled up in her eyes. “No, I didn’t. Shi Ke, I really didn’t! Xiang Yang and I hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so I didn’t recognize her at first.. As for Yun Nan… She didn’t hold a wedding with Shi
Nian, so I didn’t…
