Chapter 425: Chapter 425
A widow ――― Gu Tong’s taboo!
No matter who says it, or why!
Under any circumstances, these two words must not be mentioned.
In her previous life, people who knew Gu Tong well were always careful in conversation, fearing to touch upon her taboo topic. Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
In this life, although everything has started anew, it doesn’t mean Gu Tong doesn’t care about the meaning of that word.
Lin Shuai remained expressionless and did not retort.
Lin Xueqi was even more smug. She spoke with overwhelming pride, looking down as if from above: "Hehe ――― you all probably don’t know, but the young master of our Lin Family is just a sickly person, doomed to not last long."
"He spent so many years abroad just for treatment and recuperation. His condition is severe and difficult to cure, so he simply gave up treatment and returned home."
"Actually, it’s good he came back; he can enjoy life and not let this life go to waste. But he just has to bring harm to other girls, being irresponsible! Even as his sister, I can’t stand it..."
With these words spoken aloud, everyone was in an uproar, and many girls who wanted to get close to Lin Shuai promptly gave up.
They didn’t want to waste their lives...
Lin Shuai became the target of everyone’s focus, enduring all the scrutinizing gazes. However, he was already used to it and didn’t mind!
Wherever Lin Shuai is, there will be controversy; this phrase seems custom-made for him.
A slight disdain passed his lips, particularly at Lin Xueqi’s ridicule. How much she truly fears him, willing to go to any lengths to bring him down, hating him to the core.
Thoughts of his miserable life in the Lin Family involuntarily filled his mind ―――
The three words broke the silence.
Everyone turned to look at the woman in Lin Shuai’s arms, only to see her emphatically stating those three words, not as a question.
They had speculated for some time about this woman’s identity, thinking she might be from some affluent family...
After all, for Lin Shuai to personally teach Artifact Technique, she had to be someone special...
Seeing her current demeanor, she must be angry that Lin Shuai concealed his illness...
Indeed, anyone would be upset in such a situation...
Lin Shuai was slightly taken aback, a bit stupefied; he hadn’t spoken yet.
Then Lin Xueqi triumphantly echoed: "That’s right! He is indeed sick!"
Seeing her scheme succeed, she was filled with joy, as she enjoyed witnessing Lin Shuai’s distress! The more he suffered, the happier she was!
Gu Tong’s deep eyes focused, flickering with a dark light. She raised her hand and firmly took Lin Shuai’s hand off her shoulder!
Everyone thought she would either shove him away or confront him directly ―――
However, what happened in the next second completely stunned them!
Gu Tong tightened her grip on Lin Shuai’s hand, intertwining their fingers together, appearing totally in love. Then, glaring contemptuously at Lin Xueqi, she said, "I’m saying you are the sick one!"
Whoa, what’s going on...
Everyone was left dumbfounded in that instant...
Nobody had anticipated such an unexpected twist, turning the situation completely around...
Wasn’t she supposed to scold Lin Shuai? How did Lin Xueqi end up being the one scolded...
Of course, Lin Shuai was not missing among the bewildered; he also seemed utterly puzzled, looking at his tightly held little hand, surprisingly feeling a bit scared...
