Chapter 74: Mother Directly Declares She Can't Manage Them!

"Is that so?" Gu Wenyan curled her lips. "Would you like me to play the recording I just made for you to listen to?"

As she spoke, Gu Wenyan took her phone out of her pocket, looking at Gu Mianmian with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Gu Mianmian, who had wanted to see Gu Wenyan make a fool of herself, had now become the laughingstock in the eyes of others.

The curve of Gu Wenyan's lips was simply the best mockery of all of Gu Mianmian's behavior today.

Gu Mianmian no longer had the face to sit there; she stood up, her eyes red, and left in a fit of anger.

Gu Wenyan shrugged: "Sorry everyone, I really didn't bring a book today, so I won't be participating in your Reading Club. You all continue."

After saying this, she also stood up and left at a leisurely pace.

She really hadn't expected... Gu Mianmian to give her such a big surprise.

Gu Wenyan had originally thought that after Gu Mianmian's mockery, she would still need to do something else to retaliate.

As it turned out, Gu Mianmian's actual reaction far exceeded her estimates and even gave her an excellent opportunity for retaliation.

This couldn't be blamed on her.

She certainly hadn't asked Gu Mianmian to be so stupid and act in such a disgraceful way.

Since she wanted to show off in front of everyone, she should have prepared properly, instead of not even being able to get a book title right...

It really left one not knowing what to say.

After leaving the Reading Club, Gu Wenyan went on a date with Bo Sihan; as for how Gu Mianmian was doing, she had no interest.

Gu Wenyan had only thought that Gu Mianmian would lose face at this Reading Club, but she hadn't expected that after she left, someone at the scene would actually release a video they had filmed.

Consequently, a video appeared on the internet of Gu Mianmian's deeply moving book review, and right after she finished, it was Gu Wenyan raising her hand with a calm and composed smile to remind her: "Could you please get the name of this book right first?"

"The name of this book is *Educated*, but you spoke for a long time just now, and what you kept saying was... *When You Are Like a Bird Flying to Your Mountain*. You can't even get the book title right, so I really don't know... what exactly you read."

The person who made the video even specifically repeated these two segments several times, and took the opportunity to place Gu Wenyan's and Gu Mianmian's expressions side-by-side for comparison, including the footage of Gu Mianmian fleeing in shame and anger at the end.

This, Gu Wenyan truly had not anticipated, so when she saw the video online, she immediately headed home.

Sure enough, Gu Mianmian was hugging Ye Yiwen, sitting on the sofa and crying bitterly: "Mom, I just accidentally said one word wrong, but for Sister to do that in public... I really feel so terrible!"

"How will everyone look at me from now on? I have no face to see anyone!"

Gu Wenyan stood by the door, her gaze contemptuous.

So Gu Mianmian knew how shameful this behavior of hers was and that she had no face to see anyone?

She had thought that since Gu Mianmian had done so many vicious things and only knew how to hurt others, she didn't have a shred of shame.

Gu Wenyan didn't give Gu Mianmian a chance to smear her, walking straight over and coldly exposing her when her mother looked over: "Gu Mianmian, today you told me you wanted to attend this Reading Club, and you were the one who signed me up, yet you didn't tell me what I was supposed to bring to this Reading Club."

"I only discovered when I arrived at the scene that everyone was required to bring a book they had just finished reading. You brought one yourself, but I didn't."

Gu Mianmian opened her innocent eyes and shook her head desperately: "I didn't do it on purpose! Sister, I just forgot, I thought you knew..."

"Have I ever looked into this Reading Club before? Why would I know? Since you signed me up and invited me to go, you didn't say anything and only prepared for yourself... Do you know what you look like?"

"You look like those people in school who tell everyone every day that they didn't review or prepare for an exam, and then go home every night to study in secret until midnight! No... you're even worse than those people!"

"Yanyan, your sister is upset, why don't you..." Ye Yiwen once again tried to smooth things over.

"Mom, if you think she isn't wrong and I am, then I won't say anything more, but if you are able to distinguish right from wrong, I must speak."

She wouldn't give Gu Mianmian another chance to play the innocent white lotus; she wanted to act like a green tea, right?

She would just throw this cup of tea onto the ground and shatter it, and see how Gu Mianmian could keep acting!

"Gu Mianmian, even if I don't hold this matter against you, you got the name of a book wrong and brought a book review you copied from who knows where to show off. It would have been fine if you hadn't been exposed by everyone today, but when you are exposed one day, won't the result be the same loss of face?"

"I admit, I could have chosen not to expose you, but who told you to come looking for trouble with me first?"

For the past few days, Gu Wenyan had tried her best to appear understanding in front of her family, but the facts proved that for the Gu Family, being understanding alone was not enough.

Now that she possessed some confidence and had the qualifications to go head-to-head with Gu Mianmian, there was no need to always hide and suffer grievances.

Gu Mianmian weakly retorted: "But you shouldn't have put the video on the internet..."

"Who said I put the video up? Do you have proof? It's obvious that someone in that so-called Reading Club of yours couldn't stand you and deliberately filmed it to post online! You don't really think those people have such a good relationship with you, do you?"

Gu Mianmian was once again rendered speechless by the retort. Gu Wenyan was firing on all cylinders and had no intention of letting her off easily: "It seems that I'm not the only stupid one in this family; you're stupid enough too!"

"Why do so many people associate with you? Is it really for you? Isn't it because of the Gu Family, because of your three brothers? Do you really think everyone respects you that much?"

"You..."

Ye Yiwen didn't know how to ease their relationship for a moment and felt unprecedentedly exhausted, so she simply let go of Gu Mianmian and sat to one side: "Forget it, you two argue yourselves, I can't manage you anymore..."

"Mom!" Gu Mianmian panicked; without the support of the Gu Family, how could she be Gu Wenyan's match now?

But just at this moment, Gu Yeting also appeared at the door.

He had a cold face, and his aura was exceptionally intimidating.

Seeing Gu Yeting, Gu Mianmian looked as if she had seen a savior: "Brother, you have to stand up for me!!"

However, he didn't even glance at Gu Mianmian, only walking aggressively toward Gu Wenyan and sneering: "Gu Wenyan, what do you mean by that? You said I'm not the only stupid one in this family; do you think I was the only fool before?"

Gu Wenyan said coldly and indifferently: "Otherwise? With the state you were in before, who wouldn't say you were a fool?"

Gu Yeting's chest heaved rapidly; he looked like he had been angered to the extreme.

Beside them, Gu Mianmian was almost ready to secretly laugh; he definitely wouldn't let Gu Wenyan off!

However, facing Gu Wenyan, Gu Yeting held it in for a long time, only to squeeze out: "Gu Wenyan! You, you have a prejudice against me!"
