<strong>Capítulo 1466: Chapter 1479:</strong>


    “And what about Gu Qing? Is she not your daughter too? Can you bear to watch her suffer at the Mu Family?” After speaking, Liang Youmei’s shoulders twitched as she let out a low sob.


    “My poor Gu Qing, she’s the apple of my eye.”


    “Suffer at the Mu Family? Do you know that their wealth surpasses that Wu guy by countless times?” Gu Guoqiang scolded Liang Youmei, pointing at her with a hand that trembled slightly.


    “It’s said that Young Master Mu Yunfan of the Mu Family has a hidden ailment and avoids the light. Have you ever seen him at any important asion? He has a subordinate named Wu An, who is not only unpleasant to look at but also ruthless, using all means to achieve his goals, dabbling in both underworld and legitimate businesses. For someone like him to be used by Mu Yunfan, it shows just how cruel a character Yunfan is. No, I can’t let my daughter marry and suffer abuse there.”


    Liang Youmei was resolute, and her makeup had run, leaving her looking like a mottled cat because of her tears.


    Gu Guoqiang was even more incensed by her words, “Gu Wan is also my daughter, my dearest one! No matter what, hasn’t she called you Auntie for so many years? How could you do such a thing?”


    “Forget about whether Young Master Mu finds out or not. Even if he doesn’t, Gu Qing is a socialite in the finance world. What about Gu Wan? Have you considered the consequences? With just a word, the Mu Family could crush us, leaving us unable to rise again.”


    Gu Wan stood dazed at the entrance, and the tter of keys dropping to the floor, making a crisp sound, startled the two arguing people in the living room, bringing the absent-minded Gu Wan back to reality.


    Gu Guoqiang red at Liang Youmei, warning her not to speak recklessly in front of Gu Wan. Liang Youmei, feeling unwilling, sat sullenly on the sofa without a word.


    Gu Wan picked up the keys, addressed her father with a “Daddy,” and prepared to go upstairs.


    She hadn’t taken a few steps when Liang Youmei, noticing she didn’t greet her, felt displeased again. “A young girl staying out all night, aren’t you afraid of beingughed at?”


    Gu Wan’s steps halted, perhaps struck by her words, causing her unease and a change inplexion. Despite her longstanding dissatisfaction with Liang Youmei, she still put on a well-behaved front in front of her father. Although Liang Youmei was the one questioning her, Gu Wan replied to Gu Guoqiang, “Sorry, something happened with my ssmate, and I forgot to call and reassure you, making you worry.”


    “It’s okay. You look very pale. Didn’t rest wellst night?” Gu Guoqiang’s tone softened significantly.


    “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head upstairs first.”


    With that, Gu Wan turned to leave.


    Seeing her disregard her presence and never look at her, Liang Youmei became even angrier, her sharp voice rising, “ssmates? Sounds nice. I heard from Gu Qing that she saw you at the bar entrance with a man, weren’t you messing around with a manst night?”


    Gu Wan’s body shuddered as if caught red-handed, a mix of anger and worry surging through her, making her dizzy.


    “Shut up! Get back to your room if there’s nothing!” Gu Guoqiang scolded fiercely, then, turning to Gu Wan, gently said, “Your auntie speaks without thinking; don’t mind her. Go back to your room and rest.”


    With difficulty, Gu Wan steadied herself against the wall and gave a faint “hmm” to Gu Guoqiang before going upstairs.


    As she was about to enter her room, Gu Qing emerged from the room opposite.


    Gu Wan nced at her but didn’t greet her, intending to enter the room.


    Yesterday, Gu Qing had seen her boyfriend frequently being nice to Gu Wan, fueling her anger. Now, seeing Gu Wan ignoring her, not even greeting her as “sister,” her face darkened, and she asked, “Gu Wan, where did you go yesterday?”


    “Don’t you already know where I went?” Gu Wan retorted. She admitted she had always taken on a meek and obedient demeanor at home, which did not mean she had no temper. “Yesterday, you clearly saw someone taking me away. Why did you pretend not to see it?”


    Gu Wan’s face flushed with anger, her hands uncontrobly trembling.


    “Yesterday?” Gu Qing feigned contemtion, her fingers with red nail polish brushing against her forehead, then pretended to have a realization. “Oh, you mean yesterday? Heh, Gu Wan, how can you have the nerve to bring up yesterday?”


    “Wasn’t that all arranged by you?”


    “Gu Qing, you’re too full of yourself. Arrangement? I was just punished for losing a game. On the contrary, it was you who left without a word, causing me to lose face. Now everyone knows I have a sister who doesn’t know manners.”


    “…” Gu Wan was furious, her chest tightening painfully.


    Gu Qing sneered, “Gu Wan, what if Dad knew his precious daughter drinks, and her drinking tolerance is not bad?”


    Can drink?


    Not bad tolerance?


    Gu Wan sneered coldly. Not even having finished a drink, she ran to vomit in the bathroom, and that’s called not bad tolerance?


    “Why did you tell Dad and Auntie that I was hugging a man at the bar yesterday?”


    “Isn’t it true? I clearly saw a man holding you as you came out of the bathroom. Although I didn’t see the man’s face clearly, he seemed to have a good build. So, weren’t you togetherst night?”


    Gu Qing’s eyes were full of disdain, as if saying, “Don’t pretend, I saw it all.”


    “Since sister saw me with him, why didn’t you step forward to stop it?”


    Why let him take her away?


    “… I thought you knew him. Besides, you were the one clinging to him. I thought he might be your new boyfriend, so I…”


    “So you didn’t ask? So you pretended not to care? So you told Dad and Auntie I was messing around with a man yesterday?!”


    Gu Wan’s attitude caught Gu Qing off guard.


    She did follow to see what was happening yesterday, only to be stopped by several fierce ck-clothed men. Since Gu Wan’s life or death had nothing to do with her, she backed off again.


    But never had she dared to speak to her this way. How had the alwayspliant sister be like this?


    Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to reality. For some reason, being stared down by Gu Wan made her feel guilty. She feigned calmness, disinclined to continue the conversation, and walked away.


    As she passed by Gu Wan, she deliberately bumped her shoulder, letting out a cold “hmph” before heading downstairs.


    After Gu Qing left, Gu Wan’s suppressed emotions suddenly copsed. She numbly returned to her room, and when the door closed, it was as if all the strength had been drained from her body, causing her to slide down to the floor on the door panel.


    Tears streamed down her cheeks, salty, and she didn’t even have the strength to wipe them away…
