Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“We choose to marry!” It was as if Bai Jie’s every word dripped blood as she continued, “Auntie, let’s have Gu Fei and Du Juan get married and make my little granddaughter legitimate. We’ll show everyone that Gu Fei isn’t gay—it’s all false accusations and made-up rumors. And I’m going to sue those unscrupulous media outlets! Girls, your brother is getting married so go prepare a wedding immediately! Pronto! Make sure no expense is spared! Our Gu Fei is to marry Du Juan in a grand manner!”
Of course, Gu Fei refused to agree to this. He screamed and protested, but his sisters had already sorted out their thoughts and wouldn’t let him mess around. They safeguarded Gu Fei because he represented the Gu family’s interests. If Gu Fei’s interests were to clash with the Gu family’s, it was evident which side they would stand on.
Besides, it’s just marrying a woman. Marrying a wealthy young lady was to bring glory to the family whereas marrying Du Juan was to wipe away the stain on their family’s name. It was the same logic whether he marries a wealthy young lady or Du Juan, so Gu Fei had no room for rebuttal.
Watching the scene from where he stood beside Yun Liu, Yun Zhang detachedly uttered, “Do you think there’s a place for you in the Gu family? What do you think they’ll do to you if you bring shame to the Gu family at a time like this?”
His words struck Yun Liu like a whip, and she instantly retorted, “Even if that’s the case, I can’t be with you. Yun Zhang, you’re my brother!”
Yun Zhang was expressionless as he replied, “As everyone knows, you’re the Gu family’s daughter that was raised by our family. We aren’t blood-related.”
Yun Liu stared at Yun Zhang in shock. “Big bro? Are you saying… Don’t tell me you really have feelings for me beyond that of a brother and sister?”
Yun Zhang unperturbedly looked at Yun Liu. “Does it matter? Isn’t saving you from this hellhole more important?”
Yun Liu was stunned by that. Yun Zhang shared a meaningful look with Chen Yao from afar before continuing, “You were raised by us, the Yun family. I can’t just sit by and watch you suffer. Let’s go. The Gu family’s matters have nothing to do with you anymore.”
Yun Liu eyed Yun Zhang in bewilderment. She didn’t believe Yun Zhang would be so kind. If it was in the past, she would’ve because Yun Zhang had cherished her since they were kids. He’d always put her first and foremost, following her lead and protecting her at all times.
However, she wasn’t sure that’s still the case now. After all, she’d emptied out the Yun family and then abandoned them after she returned to the Gu family. Yun Xiang and Gu Wei came looking for her many times but she ignored them. ‘Could Yun Zhang still treat me like before under such circumstances?’ she wondered. Yun Liu couldn’t if she were in his shoes.
Yun Zhang returned her gaze and suddenly gave her a faint smile. “What? You don’t believe that I’ll still treat you well?” Yun Liu didn’t know what to say as he’d hit the nail right on the head.
Yun Zhang glanced at the Gu family sisters who were in a messy flurry before asking her, “Then you still want to stay? Do you think you have a place here if you stay?”
