Chapter 410: Chapter 410

The commotion also caught the attention of many elders, who were having dinner and looked this way, asking the person next to them, "What happened?"

Mo Shu and Yu Siqiao also heard the noise from this side and looked over. Mo Shu said to Ji Yun, "Go and see what’s happening."

Ji Yun quickly went over and had just approached when he heard various discussions in the crowd.

"He Yuanlin, you’ve gone too far!" someone in the crowd said.

"Those words are too hurtful!"

"What are you arguing about?" Grandpa Song, seeing things were getting out of hand, shouted angrily, "Everyone disperse!"

He Yuanlin, unconvinced, retorted, "Grandpa Song, I’m just stating the facts. I’ve seen too many women like her, seemingly quiet and content on the outside, but actually, they’re stories-rich female classmates."

Gu Wenjuan cried out, "Stop spouting nonsense!"

Hearing Gu Wenjuan’s cry, He Yuanlin scoffed, "Still pretending, do you think I’m shooting blindly? Your dad is Gu ZhenGuo, right?"

Gu Wenjuan suddenly heard the name Gu ZhenGuo, looked up at him, and wiped away her tears.

He Yuanlin shrugged, "This small company your family runs has been unstoppable lately. Your dad tells everyone how impressive his daughter is, and he insinuates in public and private that you have a special relationship with Young Master Yu, deeply cherished by him."

Gu Wenjuan shuddered, her face suddenly turning pale.

This was something Gu ZhenGuo was more than capable of doing!

Seeing her dramatic expression, He Yuanlin added spitefully, "Not too long ago, there was this Mr. Wang, with a beer belly and a bald spot, greasy as can be, bragging to me. He said he had a goddaughter named Gu Wenjuan, studying at Mo Business, knowing that I graduated from there too. He even asked me to take extra care of you; ridiculous, isn’t it?"

Mr. Wang’s beer belly, bald spot...

Gu Wenjuan immediately thought of that President Wang whom Gu ZhenGuo once planned to marry her off to!

That President Wang had shamelessly contacted her a few times afterwards, claiming that he only wanted to recognize a goddaughter and that she shouldn’t forget him, her godfather, once she thrived.

Gu Wenjuan, of course, wouldn’t entertain him, but to avoid trouble, she begrudgingly humored him a few times, after which this Mr. Wang took up the mantle of a godfather for himself.

Gu Wenjuan suddenly felt dizzy.

He Yuanlin’s words had varied reactions from the people around.

Seeing Gu Wenjuan’s reaction made everyone even more tacitly exchanging glances.

Some, more straightforward, directly asked He Yuanlin, "Are these things true?"

"Whether it’s true or not, just ask Gu Wenjuan, and you’ll know," said He Yuanlin, taking pleasure in the disaster, "Everything I said is the truth!" Official source is novelFɪre.net

"Enough!" Zhuang Ziqi burst out, looking at He Yuanlin, "You know full well that Gu Wenjuan was just acknowledged by my grandpa as his grand-niece, and yet you say these things, what are your intentions?"

"I’m doing this for your own good, Ziqi!" He Yuanlin said, looking like he had been wronged, "Now that you all know what kind of person she is, you can be wary. Otherwise, if those messy godfathers of hers show up, it could ruin your family’s reputation!"

Those messy godfathers...

Gu Wenjuan felt somewhat desperate, holding her head, crying, "I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense..."

She didn’t, not at all!

She was entirely innocent; she wasn’t like they said!
