Chapter 135: Hide Your Secrets Well

After Gu Mianmian left, Gu Yeting showed no reaction at all, still sitting calmly on the sofa.

Nothing unusual could be seen in his lazy expression. If this had happened in the past… in a similar situation, Gu Yeting would have rushed over at the first moment to comfort Gu Mianmian.

Because he was the one least willing to see Gu Mianmian sad and upset. Although all the brothers of the Gu Family doted on Gu Mianmian, among them it was Gu Yeting whose past affection for her was the most different—reaching the point of spoiling her.

Even no matter what Gu Mianmian did, even if Gu Mianmian was wrong, Gu Yeting didn't care in the slightest. He would properly handle all the follow-up issues for her, never letting Gu Mianmian be bullied in any way.

But today, Gu Yeting's reaction was more unusual than ever before.

After Gu Mianmian left, Gu Yechen turned his head to look at him: "What's going on with you?"

Gu Yeting raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"In the past, when Mianmian was unhappy, when she was sad, you were the one most worried… today she's already feeling so terrible, and you still don't go comfort her?"

"This is her own decision. Since she's already made up her mind to enter into the relevant wager with Wen Yan, then no matter what the final outcome is, we can't interfere, and there's no need to change anything."

Gu Yeting's tone could be called cold.

"…But she's still upset right now."

"You all go. At this time, you can also go comfort her."

Gu Yefeng frowned and spoke: "Your attitude like this… what happened between you and Mianmian?"

"It's not unusual. I just realized that I really was very stupid before…"

There were naturally many reasons within this, including that recently, Gu Yeting finally understood that he hadn't truly understood Gu Mianmian in the past.

He had also overlooked her true nature, and had even misunderstood Gu Wenyan because of the false image Gu Mianmian put on in front of him.

All of this was the influence of these emotions.

Gu Yefeng was also a smart person, so he quickly figured something out, realizing that the reason for the change in Gu Yeting's attitude was related to Gu Wenyan.

"It has something to do with Wen Yan?" he asked directly.

"It's not that big a connection. It's more about Mianmian herself. I won't say more about the rest. If you want to go, then go."

As for why Gu Yeting had this kind of attitude… he had completely seen what kind of existence Gu Wenyan was in Gu Mianmian's heart.

In Gu Mianmian's heart, she and Gu Wenyan could never be sisters. Gu Mianmian bore a grudge against her… all those things in the past might all have something to do with Gu Mianmian.

However, Gu Yeting did not expose Gu Mianmian on the spot.

Because Gu Mianmian was, after all, his sister too. The care he had given her over so many years was not fake, and those feelings were equally real.

Therefore, now, Gu Yeting still gave Gu Mianmian the last bit of dignity. As for what kind of attitude to use to face Gu Mianmian in the future…

It would depend on her. If she still didn't know her own mistakes and kept repeating the same mistakes, Gu Yeting's last bit of affection for her would completely disappear.

Every time Gu Yeting thought of these things, he would also feel heartache. Countless entanglements grew in his heart. He, more than anyone, did not hope that the sister he had doted on for so many years was that kind of person.

But many things really couldn't be explained so easily. He didn't understand what the reason was for Gu Mianmian becoming like this. It was just that thinking about how the sister he once cared about most had now become like this, appearing completely unrecognizable… made him feel heartache.

Gu Yeting also wanted to try to change her, but judging from Gu Mianmian's recent attitude of being full of lies, he could already confirm that any change would be nothing.

He couldn't do it.

Perhaps Gu Mianmian had never changed, had always been like this. It was just that they hadn't truly known her in the past, and had interacted with her based on the state they had imagined.

In the end, it was still Gu Yechen who stepped forward as the eldest brother, and he soon saw Gu Mianmian crying alone around a corner of the auction house corridor.

He walked over: "Stop crying. Although you lost today, it doesn't really have any impact."

"How can it have no impact? Big Brother, do you know that after losing today, how will they look at me… everyone will think that no one in the Gu Family cares about me anymore! Everyone will think that sooner or later I'll be driven away… maybe even sent to the countryside… to live the kind of life my sister used to live!"

Gu Mianmian choked: "I don't want to become like that, and I can't bear to leave you all…"

Gu Yechen's expression didn't change: "What they think isn't important. We promised you, so we will keep our promise to you. Don't be afraid."

Gu Mianmian looked up at him: "But my brother already hates me. I don't know what to do in the future."

"You just need to be yourself, and fulfill your promise to us. As for the rest… I think Gu Yeting probably wouldn't have the kind of thoughts you're worried about."

Gu Yechen only intended to say this much: "Alright, come back with us."

Gu Mianmian stood up and followed him, but before she had taken two steps, she saw Gu Wenyan come out of another private room.

Gu Wenyan was holding Bao Sihan's arm, the two exchanged a smile, and that intimate posture made Gu Mianmian jealous.

She glared at Gu Wenyan with a red face. Gu Wenyan also noticed her gaze, but just curled the corner of her mouth, smiled, and did not clash with her.

Gu Wenyan said lightly: "This Kashmir Blue Sapphire Necklace is mine now. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"…This time I didn't prepare enough and lost to you. I admit defeat. You're more formidable than I thought, Sister. I accept it!"

"Good that you accept it. I thought you'd still be stubborn and refuse to admit it at this point. Actually, this is also a lesson for you, to let you know that not everyone in this world is the way they appear on the surface. What kind of secrets they're hiding, you don't know…"

Gu Wenyan said: "What kind of secrets you're hiding, we also don't know, right?"

Gu Mianmian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What did Gu Wenyan mean by saying this? Was she hinting at something? Or had Gu Wenyan also guessed something?

But her secret was hidden so well, it couldn't have been discovered by Gu Wenyan…

While Gu Mianmian was tangled in her thoughts, Gu Wenyan had already nodded to Gu Yechen and left with Bao Sihan, leaving her heart in a mess, completely unable to calm down.

Bao Sihan took Gu Wenyan's hand and left the auction house. Gu Wenyan had already paid the relevant amount, and soon someone would deliver the Kashmir Blue Sapphire Necklace to the Gu Family.

Actually, after getting this necklace, Gu Wenyan wasn't that happy either. Spending such a large sum of money just to beat Gu Mianmian…

Thinking about it, it was a bit of a loss.
