Chapter 721: Chapter 721
Yang Zhilin loves Yebai, why would you call that shallow? It’s called—shopping, pretty much.
Basically, I don’t understand where a mistress gets off acting superior to the wife? It’s in the man’s heart.
Miss Yang can’t even win Yebai’s heart. What right does she have to raise her voice here? She can’t even qualify as a genuine mistress.
Gu Nuan had to tell Ms. Yang, "Marriage, legally, is a matter between a man and a woman, unrelated to anyone else. His parents, their marriage does not concern them, and even less so me. As for the Xiao Family, they have never accepted me, let alone have the right to drive me out. It’s even better if the Xiao Family doesn’t accept me. Currently, my parents have only me as their daughter and they indeed lack a descendant to carry on the Gu surname. In the future, my child will bear the surname Gu, which will please my parents even more."
As for the money to raise the child, she, Gu Jinrong, has never needed to rely on a man. If she can support herself, surely she can support her child as well.
The Xiao Family, as far as she’s concerned, if it weren’t for Yebai bearing the Xiao surname, she wouldn’t even bother with them.
Uncle Tang shuddered and finally understood why Gu Nuan always seemed so entitled when dealing with Xiao Jianming. Because Gu Nuan absolutely doesn’t covet the Xiao Family’s wealth; she had never thought of depending on the Xiao Family for a single penny.
Yang Zhilin was speechless from Gu Nuan’s words, pondering how to retort when she said, "You, I just don’t believe you don’t covet Brother Yebai’s money—"
Xiao Jianming suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Enough."
The old crocodile, with his Eyes of Golden Flame, had clearly seen, just like Uncle Tang, that Gu Nuan truly did not plan to depend on the Xiao Family to support her child. Therefore, Xiao Jianming had to consider, why on earth should his own child bear the surname Gu?!
White Flower Snake had quietly checkmated the old crocodile.
Who asked the father-in-law to play with fire?
Gu Nuan shook her head inwardly. There are some things she hadn’t intended on saying.
Because of this, Yang Zhilin felt wronged and incredulously shouted at Xiao Jianming: "Uncle, how can you accept this kind of woman?"
Xiao Jianming, entirely composed: "I told you before, if you beat her, I will acknowledge you. But it seems you’ve been defeated by her twice now."
"That’s because she resorted to plots and tricks!"
"Did she break the law?"
Yang Zhilin’s eyes bulged, unable to believe that a cunning and shrewd man like Xiao Jianming could suddenly start talking about the law.
"She hasn’t broken the law. You told her to kneel, she doesn’t kneel now, so, what, should she ask you to kneel?"
Yang Zhilin pointed sharply at Gu Nuan: "How could I possibly kneel to her?"
At this moment, Gu Nuan gently interjected: "If you kneel down now, perhaps I would consider it."
Weren’t those the words she should be saying to Gu Nuan? Now it turned out Gu Nuan was saying them to her?
Yang Zhilin’s eyes narrowed dangerously, her hand almost reaching for Gu Nuan’s neck.
Gu Nuan felt not the slightest fear. Her gaze even swept past the Yang couple standing behind Yang Zhilin, saying: "I know all of you came here asking for favors, but honestly, you would be better off asking me than him."
Those words, truly like a nuclear bomb, stupefied everyone present.
Including Xiao Jianming, the old crocodile, and Uncle Tang; they all found it too unbelievable.
What? What did Gu Jinrong just say? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Uncle Tang thought of digging his own ears. He hadn’t heard wrong, had he? Everyone knew that Xiao Jianming calling Gu Nuan here was supposed to leverage the Yang Family to pressure Gu Nuan, but now, not only did Gu Nuan publicly cut down Xiao Jianming’s prestige in front of him, was she going on the offensive?
What kind of cards did Gu Nuan hold that she could speak such words to Xiao Jianming and the Yang Family?
