“What are you afraid of? Trying to pretend to faint in front of the Guardian Princess, isn’t that showing off in front of an expert?”
“Haha! You’re right. They didn’t even bother to inquire about the background of the Guardian Princess before attempting this act in front of her. It’s simply ridiculous. Is this a pre-show for today’s charity auction? It’s hilarious!”
Upon hearing the discussions around her, Yu Huarong’s eyes, which were lowered, flashed with sarcasm.
A woman who gained prestige through men, how much ability could she really have?
There were too many rumors about Gu Qingluan in public, and her life experiences were even more thrilling than the protagonist of that novel. Yu Huarong didn’t believe that a person could undergo such significant changes in just a few years. She thought the rumors were likely exaggerated.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi were not pleased to see their mother being taken advantage of.
Gu Xiaonan patted the white bundle in his arms and said, “Xiao Bai, bite him!”
Xiao Bai jumped out of his arms and was immediately caught by Gu Qingluan.
“Squeak?” Xiao Bao was confused, turning its head to look at the person holding it.
Gu Qingluan handed it over to Gu Xiaonan and said with a faint smile, “Xiaonan, take care of Xiao Bai. Don’t let those troublemakers near it.”
“Yes, Young Master Xiaonan, trust in the Guardian Princess to handle these scoundrels. Don’t let those troublemakers take advantage of your interference,” the others chimed in.
Pets were unaware of the consequences, and leaving any injuries on the other party might cause complications when used as evidence later.
Gu Xiaonan blinked his big, watery, round eyes and, seeing his mother’s serious expression, he patted the furry little fox in his arms. “Alright, I’ll listen to Mother.”
Feng Yuanxi spoke up, “Mother, you don’t need to be afraid of them. If they want to do something, let them. They’re just from the Yu family. When they face Daddy, they’ll have to behave with their tails between their legs.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingluan chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle his hair.
Yu Huarong, on the other hand, overheard Feng Yuanxi’s words, her gaze turning slightly gloomy, smoldering like a burning fire.
Was this how the young fellow, whom she had tried to please in every way, viewed their Yu family? And he actually said this in front of Gu Qingluan, clearly stepping on her face and trampling on her pride!
She spoke coldly, “Hmph! My cousin is right here. How could we falsely accuse anyone? If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself!”
“Let’s see it then! Guardian Princess, quickly expose their disguise! Crush their arrogance!”
Gu Qingluan deeply glanced at Yu Huarong and her lips curled up with a faint smile.
Yu Huarong felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze.
She silently thought, “Could I have been found out?”
However, she quickly dismissed that possibility.
Her actions were discreet, and there was no way the other party could have seen through them.
Gu Qingluan stood still and calmly said, “The person is indeed unconscious.”
A stone cast a thousand ripples.
Everyone was stunned.
What did the Guardian Princess mean by her words?
Could it be that she really acted too recklessly earlier and caused someone to faint?
Oh dear, what should they do now?
This group of people was clearly not to be trifled with. What if they seized this opportunity to make trouble?
Yu Huarong’s lips curled with a sense of satisfaction, hidden behind her veil where no one could notice.
Then, she questioned in a stern voice, “So, you admit that you caused Zinan to faint?”
Gu Qingluan smiled lazily. “I only said he fainted, but I didn’t admit to causing it.”
“Are you trying to defend yourself in front of everyone? Besides you, who else could have done it to him?”
“Isn’t there you?” Gu Qingluan replied calmly.
Yu Huarong’s heart skipped a beat.
How could this woman know…
No!
She must be talking nonsense.. It was just a lucky guess that happened to be correct!
