Chapter 38: Scolding Him Until He Was Devastated

At the dinner table, although the photos leaked that afternoon had been completely wiped out by Bo Si Han using thunderous methods, leaving no traces behind, many netizens who wanted to continue the discussion lost the opportunity.

Gu Yeting still unceremoniously brought this matter up to mock her.

"I thought that since you agreed to marry Bo Si Han, you would really take this relationship seriously, but I didn't expect..."

The sneer on Gu Yeting's lips was full of disdain.

Gu Mianmian lowered her head to eat, saying nothing.

She knew that there was no need for her to do anything now; her third brother already detested Gu Wenyan enough.

For a long time to come, this household would inevitably be unable to escape various chaotic conflicts, and that was fine too...

With Gu Wenyan and the third brother in such arguments, there would absolutely be no possibility of their relationship ever improving!

Gu Jue had not returned from socializing, and Ye Yiwen was just about to put in a word for Gu Wenyan when she didn't expect her eldest son to speak first: "Enough, do you really know what the situation is?"

Gu Yeting squinted his eyes and looked toward his eldest brother: "Do you know? Are you explaining for her?"

Gu Yechen's expression remained unchanged: "I am just reminding you to understand the full sequence of events before making a response, rather than acting impulsively based on your own prejudices."

"What kind of person she is, haven't we seen it? I already know her well enough."

With a "slap," Gu Wenyan suddenly stood up. She put down her chopsticks, walked in front of Gu Yeting, and looked down at him: "What kind of person am I? Speak clearly, make it a bit clearer."

Gu Wenyan's sudden action gave Ye Yiwen a start. Recently, she had always felt that this daughter of hers actually had a very gentle and soft personality.

Yet she didn't expect that she would suddenly lose her temper at this moment, and the sharpness flashing in her raised brows and eyes was quite lethal.

Gu Yeting also put down his chopsticks and looked coldly at Gu Wenyan: "Did I hit a sore spot, and now you're unhappy?"

"You didn't just fail to hit a sore spot, you don't even know what the situation actually is. For someone like you, I can't even be bothered to say another word, but I also won't let you slander me."

Gu Wenyan played the surveillance video that Bo Si Han had extracted while investigating the matter that afternoon on her phone and slammed it onto the table: "See for yourself!"

The video started from the moment after Gu Wenyan's hand was grabbed by Fang Qihang; Gu Wenyan pulled away forcefully and turned to leave, and even though Fang Qihang shamelessly tried to hold her back, she rejected him mercilessly.

Nothing is more definitive than direct evidence.

"Fang Qihang colluded with Gu Mianmian back then, lured me to the Panshan Highway, and even placed an iron wire on the Panshan Highway... whether they wanted to force me to stop or wanted me to die in a car wreck, who knows?"

"I could never have any further involvement with a person like Fang Qihang."

Gu Wenyan glanced at the pale-faced Gu Mianmian and curled her lips: "Gu Yeting, you should use your brain more. I'm afraid that one day you'll be sold by someone and still be counting the money for them! I don't know how an idiot like you has survived until today!"

Every word was sharp and biting, and the words, fired off like a machine gun, sprayed Gu Yeting until he was utterly devastated.

In the moment Gu Yeting was stunned, Gu Wenyan turned around directly and went upstairs.

Gu Mianmian, meanwhile, panicked and tried to defend herself: "I, I didn't, that matter was truly a misunderstanding..."

Gu Yeting, however, didn't listen to what Gu Mianmian was explaining, still completely immersed in the inexplicable emotion of being scolded head-on by Gu Wenyan.

In his entire life... no one had ever dared to lecture him like this.

Even Gu Yechen, who hadn't intended to interfere too much, couldn't help but smile.

It wasn't because of the content of what Gu Wenyan said, but because of Gu Wenyan's attitude toward him.

Perhaps no one had ever done this before, and Gu Yechen also knew what kind of personality his younger brother had.

From the past until now, it had almost always been Gu Yeting being unreasonable; where had such a scene ever appeared before, so...

Gu Yechen glanced at Gu Mianmian, said nothing, stood up, and also went upstairs, wanting to find Gu Wenyan to talk.

He suddenly saw the thorn hidden in Gu Wenyan's bones; this might also be the reason why she and they had not gotten along in the past.

But such a version of her, with her sharp edges, was actually much more vivid and lively.

"Eldest brother, why are you here?"

"Shall we talk?"

"Sure." Gu Wenyan did not refuse and went to the second-floor balcony with Gu Yechen, where the two stood leaning against the railing.

Gu Yechen said: "Your third brother was always the youngest child in the family, so he was spoiled. Now that he's grown, this personality hasn't changed much."

Gu Wenyan said bluntly: "Others may spoil him, but I won't indulge him. Although he is my brother, that doesn't mean I will accept his groundless accusations and slander."

"I understand. Today's matter was his fault."

Gu Wenyan showed a hint of surprise: "Eldest brother, you used to hate me too, and even when such a situation occurred, you would have felt it was all my fault, just like him."

Gu Yechen was stunned: "Apologies, that was my problem before."

Gu Wenyan suddenly smiled: "Are you reflecting on yourself?"

"... That's right, one must always learn to reflect on oneself."

Gu Yechen was indeed worthy of being the future heir of the Gu Family; he was truly much more mature and steady than his two younger brothers.

Initially, he had also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Wenyan.

But recently, he had discovered the differences in her, so his attitude had changed.

"Since you have reflected on yourself, I won't blame you for the past... Eldest brother, I don't know if you will believe it, but I can guarantee that I have never done a single thing to harm Gu Mianmian."

Gu Wenyan said earnestly: "When I returned to this home, the person I trusted most at the beginning was Gu Mianmian."

She stared into Gu Yechen's ink-black eyes: "But I was betrayed, can you understand? You, the other two brothers, and Mom and Dad all subconsciously protected her and believed her. You all thought it was just a misunderstanding, that she did something wrong on impulse, but for me..."

"This harm cannot be mended. If I hadn't stopped the car that day, the end awaiting me would have been falling off a cliff or crashing into the mountain and dying!"

The fingers Gu Yechen had hanging at his sides suddenly tightened; he seemed to be able to imagine that scene of raging fire.

He had been moved like this from the first time he saw the surveillance footage from that time, only he had deliberately suppressed all his emotions.

Because... Gu Mianmian was the sister he doted on the most, and he was unwilling to believe she could have such vicious thoughts.

But now this scar had been torn open again by Gu Wenyan, and it was instantly dripping with blood.

"Eldest brother, I just want to tell you one thing."

Gu Yechen's expression shifted slightly: "What is it?"

"What you see with your naked eyes is not the whole truth, and what you think is good and evil is actually inverted."

After Gu Wenyan finished speaking, she left, leaving Gu Yechen alone to ponder slowly in the night wind.

Gu Yeting downstairs finally came to his senses and rushed to go upstairs to cause trouble for Gu Wenyan, but was stopped by his mother.

Gu Yechen also appeared at this moment, scolded Gu Yeting, and then said to Gu Mianmian, "Mianmian, come here."
