Yun Liu’s heart sank. “Mom, let’s go over and take a look.” So saying, Yun Liu hooked her arm around Zheng Xiu’s.
Zheng Xiu, however, was unwilling to go. “Why should I voluntarily go there when she’s not asking me to? I’m not going! ”
Yun Liu quietly told her mother what happened between Gu Man and the Xi family before saying, “Mom, do you think Aunt Chang Hui is avoiding us because of what happened with Gu Man?”
Zheng Xiu shook her head. “Not possible. She only raised Gu Man by her side because she’s pretty. Gu Man’s biological parents were such disappointments that your aunt holds her in disdain! We’ll think more highly of her if she can get her hands on Xi Cheng or Shi Nian. If not, hmph! She’s nothing to us; our Gu family has never lacked girls!”
Zheng Xiu’s casual words struck Yun Liu deeply. Yun Liu bit her lip and tried her best to ignore those words. “Mom, that’s all the more reason for us to go and take a look,” she uttered. “We should find out what happened. To put it bluntly, if we’re affected by this, we should at least know why, right? Our Gu He is still so young; what if this affects him?”
Zheng Xiu immediately recovered her wits at the mention of Gu He. “Alright, we’ll go over now. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely find out what happened.”
Yun Liu heaved a sigh of relief. In the past, in the Yun family, she only needed to put in a little effort to coax her adoptive parents and brother to achieve her goals, whereas now, she has to have hundreds of tricks up her sleeves. ‘Zheng Xiu only has Gu He in her heart. She’ll do her best on anything involving Gu He,’ Yun Liu thought. ‘Only two branches of the Gu family are in Rong City right now, but every one of them is competing against each other. I have to deal with outsiders AND them; how tiring!’
Chang Hui grimly waited for her daughters to return with news. Gu Man was the only one by her side. She carefully waited on Chang Hui, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The silence broke when Zheng Xiu came in and smilingly asked, “Oh my! What happened to you, Gu Man? Your eyes are so swollen. Did someone make you
Chang Hui’s gaze shot directly toward Yun Liu. Yun Liu hurriedly shook her head and glanced at her mother, implying that she hadn’t told her about it.
