Chapter 75: Gu Yeting Says He Believes Her

Gu Wenyan: "..."

She had thought Gu Yeting was going to argue with her, but what she received instead was a reaction from Gu Yeting that she had never expected.

However... the more unexpected Gu Yeting's reaction was, the more it would cause someone's emotions to collapse.

She did not rush to respond to Gu Yeting, but instead turned her head to look at Gu Mianmian first.

A faint glance was enough to cause a huge change in the expression on Gu Mianmian's face.

However, Gu Mianmian was as composed as ever, slightly better at keeping her cool than Gu Wenyan had imagined.

She even spoke up to console them: "Brother, please don't argue with Sister. I know there are many conflicts between you two; please don't let things get unpleasant because of me..."

As she spoke, Gu Mianmian shed a tear that looked incredibly pitiful: "Brother, I really don't want any more trouble like this to appear in the family. I can endure any grievance..."

Gu Yeting did not react, so she walked to Gu Yeting's side and tugged at his clothes; that expression, filled with grievance and pity, was one that perhaps any man would feel an involuntary heartache upon seeing.

A Gu Mianmian like this was indeed very good at making people trust her.

Gu Wenyan did not expect Gu Yeting to have any obvious reaction right now, so after glancing at Gu Yeting, she said nothing more.

She waited for Gu Yeting and Gu Mianmian to stand on the same side once again.

It was just that, once again to Gu Wenyan's surprise, Gu Yeting still stared at her with that threatening gaze, and the words he spoke were unexpected: "I believe you didn't do what happened this time."

"..."

"However, can't you speak properly when you encounter such things? We members of the Gu Family aren't all people who act without rhyme or reason..."

Gu Mianmian's body trembled visibly; she never expected that Gu Yeting would actually openly express his trust in Gu Wenyan!

To the point that all the bad things she was about to do could not be carried out.

In an instant, Gu Mianmian's eyes became dazed and hollow, and she even unconsciously let go of his clothes, seemingly realizing that some changes were no longer under her control.

She thought she had already won the victory over Gu Wenyan, but in reality, the more she feared something, the more it happened...

Gu Wenyan was also somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow: "You believe me?"

"Why wouldn't I believe you?" Gu Yeting scoffed, "You wouldn't go so far as to do something like this. I have already sent people to investigate; the person who released the video was indeed a participant at the scene."

He turned his head to look at Gu Mianmian: "She is right; you should associate less with these people. They are not good choices for friends."

"... Brother, I know. It's just that I also hope to maintain good relationships with them, as that might be useful for our Gu Family in the future."

Hearing this explanation from Gu Mianmian, Gu Wenyan sneered and retorted directly: "The only reason that can truly allow others to have a good relationship with you is your own strength, not you using such methods to approach them."

"Gu Mianmian, you are not young anymore; how do you still not understand this principle?"

"I..."

Gu Mianmian felt ashamed and embarrassed, unable to offer a rebuttal.

She did not know how to answer; this had already exceeded the scope of her abilities.

The words Gu Wenyan said were clearly also very profound.

Although Gu Yeting's expression was still not very good, he expressed his approval of Gu Wenyan's words: "With our Gu Family in this position, no matter what mindset others hold, they must have sufficient respect for the members of the Gu Family."

"That person dared to do this..." A chilling ruthlessness appeared in Gu Yeting's cold and arrogant brows, "I will make him understand how foolish he is!"

Ye Yiwen finally stood up at this moment: "The misunderstandings between you two sisters have already been cleared up. We all believe that this incident was not done intentionally by anyone."

"Mianmian, although your sister's attitude was a bit impatient, it was for your own good. Neither of you should be angry; talk it out properly."

"I... I understand." Gu Mianmian had always been someone who could bend and stretch; at critical moments, she could always appear obedient and would never let the family think she was willful or reckless.

"I'm sorry, Mother. I'm sorry, Brother. It was me who made you worry. I will definitely be more cautious and careful in the future... and I won't make friends indiscriminately again."

Gu Mianmian promised: "I will not go to this Reading Club again. I will definitely not let our Gu Family suffer any harm because of me!"

Admitting her mistakes and reflecting on them.

This attitude of Gu Mianmian's was enough to stir up feelings of heartache for her in Ye Yiwen's heart: "Alright, don't be sad. We will try our best to delete all these videos on the internet, and we won't let them discuss it... After a while, everyone will forget about this."

Gu Yeting also said: "I will find the person who posted the video. This time, we must make those who oppose our Gu Family pay the price."

"Actually..." Gu Mianmian bit her lip, and after a while, said in a small voice, "Perhaps he didn't dare to target our Gu Family directly; maybe it's because he felt that in the future... no one would care about me anyway, so that's why he dared to do this."

Gu Yeting was indeed led along by her train of thought: "You are a child of our Gu Family. Whoever dares to look down on you must pay the price!"

Gu Mianmian couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart. Fortunately, although Gu Yeting was indeed different toward Gu Wenyan, he still had that doting affection for her; she didn't need to worry too early...

However, just as Gu Mianmian felt slightly at ease, Gu Yeting said to Gu Wenyan: "Are you busy?"

"What?"

"Let's talk alone. I have something to say to you."

"... Why do I feel like I don't have much to say to you? Let's just forget it."

"No." Gu Yeting was very firm, "You must come with me, or I will go over to you."

Realizing that this person could not be dealt with in a few words, Gu Wenyan could only glance at him in annoyance: "Let's go to the backyard."

Gu Mianmian really wanted to follow them to hear what they were saying, but Ye Yiwen actually grabbed her: "You come with Mother; Mother also has some things to say to you."

She actually just wanted to tell Gu Mianmian that in this family, she never needed to worry about her status being affected.

Ye Yiwen wanted to comfort Gu Mianmian so she wouldn't be hit hard by today's incident.

Gu Wenyan and Gu Yeting stood in the backyard; she was too lazy to look at him, her gaze falling on the flowers in the yard: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't have that much time to waste with you."

"Regarding today's incident, I apologize to you on Mianmian's behalf."

Gu Wenyan looked up: "What did you say?"

Gu Yeting's eyes were deep: "She has... had many problems recently, so regardless of what intentions she had in taking you to the Reading Club, I apologize to you on her behalf."

"You Gu Family members are truly laughable! The person involved never admits she made a mistake, and even though you know she made a mistake, you still dote on her like this, and even come to apologize for her?"
