Utterly Shameless
Gu Jinrong quickly grabbed her, saying, “You’re no match for her, don’t bring trouble upon yourself!”
“Brother, avenge me!” Gu Jinyue held onto him tightly, her eyes filled with madness.
Gu Jinrong still vividly remembered the pain of that day, but he also knew he was no match for Gu Qingluan.
Fortunately, they were not on a ship today, but in the Gu family’s stronghold, their home turf.
Even if Gu Qingluan was a dragon, she would have to bow down!
He turned to Gu Qingluan, anger evident in his eyes. “Big sister, how could you become so wicked? One is your biological father, and the other is your sibling. You lack respect towards your father and sibling. Can you justify your actions to your deceased mother?”
“My mother, in her resting place, would probably be pleased,” Gu Qingluan replied with a cold smile, sending a shiver down Gu Jinrong’s spine.
He suppressed his fear and sneered, “Nonsense! If Aunt knew about the heinous acts you’ve committed…”
“Silence!”
Gu Zhicheng suddenly shouted.
“Uncle?”
Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue looked at him, puzzled.
Gu Zhicheng stared at Gu Qingluan with sadness and guilt in his eyes. “Your mother should be happy that you’ve become so powerful now. Child, let bygones be bygones. If you return, you will still be my daughter, the mistress of the Gu family. You will have everything that Gu Jinyue and Gu Jinrong have.”
“Uncle!” Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue were both shocked.
Gu Qingluan looked at the two of them playfully. “If you want me to come back, I can do that.”
Gu Zhicheng did not notice the strange expression on her face. He did not expect her to agree so easily. He was overjoyed. “Good child! As expected of my daughter!”
“However…”
Gu Zhicheng’s smile wavered slightly. “But what?”
“I don’t like having other people living in my house.”
“But they’re family, not just anyone.”
“Are these two even part of our family?” Gu Qingluan pointed her delicate jade-like finger towards Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue.
Gu Jinyue stomped her foot. “Gu Qingluan, what do you mean? Are you trying to kick us out? Dream on! Uncle won’t listen to you!”
Gu Qingluan sneered, “This mansion was originally known as Jun Mansion, it belongs to my maternal family. What right do you have to it? You’ve been squatting here for far too long, thinking this is your territory? People should have dignity, just as trees have bark, but you possess neither.”
Gu Jinyue was so angry she wanted to rush forward and hit Gu Qingluan.
“Jinyue!” Gu Zhicheng scolded, “Pack up your belongings immediately and return to your own home!”
“Uncle, what are you saying?” Gu Jinyue couldn’t believe it. Her uncle was actually listening to this despicable b*tch and wanted to drive her away?
This is the main residence of the Gu family, where Grandfather Gu also resides. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Their relationship with the main branch was good, and they were given a courtyard in the main residence. Since their return from the sea, they have been staying here. Now, just because of a few words from that despicable b*tch, they are being kicked out?
Gu Jinrong was also very angry. “Uncle, Mr. Liu is an esteemed guest whom I invited!”
He used Mr. Liu’s presence to threaten Gu Zhicheng.
Gu Zhicheng felt frustrated by the foolishness of his nephew and niece.
At the moment, agreeing with Gu Qingluan was a temporary solution. Couldn’t they just cooperate for now? They should stabilize the situation with Gu Qingluan first, and then it would be easy for them to come back later!
Unfortunately, the siblings didn’t understand Gu Zhicheng’s plan and were extremely disappointed in him.
At this moment, after watching the dramatic scenario for a while, Liu Meng spoke in a calm voice, “It seems that the banquet cannot continue today. Master Gu, I am feeling a bit tired.”
Gu Jinrong had a moment of realization and quickly walked up to Liu Meng, showing his respect. “Mr. Liu, I apologize for the inconvenience today. It has been quite noisy here. Why don’t you come with me to my house for some rest? It’s not far from here, and the residence is just as good as this place. I assure you will be satisfied.”
Liu Meng pondered for a moment and nodded. “Alright.”
Gu Zhicheng hurriedly said, “Mr. Liu, I apologize for the disturbance. Let me accompany you back to your room to rest, and I will arrange another banquet to apologize to you on another day.”
“Mr. Liu, please follow me this way.”
Gu Jinrong quickly gestured for him to come.
Liu Meng smiled at Gu Zhicheng and said, “There’s no need for Master Gu to trouble yourself.”
After speaking, he turned around and walked away.
From an unnoticed angle, he winked at Gu Qingluan.
A smirk formed on Gu Qingluan’s lips. This little guy, Liu Meng, was quite clever. He knew how to play the situation and sow discord between these two groups of people.
