Chapter 934 - 933: My Surname Is Gu, Hers Is Gong
"That’s quite a statement."All with an air of righteous indignation.
It’s as if everyone behind her is her support.
If she hadn’t witnessed the injustice, Miss Qiao certainly wouldn’t have intervened so rashly.
Of course, in this situation, Gong Xinxin was more than happy to see it happen, wishing that Qiao Sisi would teach Gu Tong a good lesson, saying, "Sisi, I’m really fine. Sister-in-law meant no harm, right, sister-in-law."
With that, she directly threw the topic to Gu Tong, yet with a look eager for her to deny it.
After all, they are all ladies of prestigious families, who could endure such affront?
Receiving such unwarranted anger feels quite unfair.
Gu Tong raised an eyebrow and didn’t respond.
She felt it was an unnecessary topic to respond to.
In this situation, saying yes or no isn’t an option. Yes would mean yielding, no would escalate the conflict.
This Gong Xinxin, raised by Gong Qingwan, is indeed cunning and sly.
"Xinxin is talking to you! What’s your attitude?" Qiao Sisi was furious again, pointing angrily at Gu Tong, saying, "You really are uneducated, don’t even know how to respect others, always act like a bully. I truly don’t know how the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family took a liking to you!"
No need to escalate the conflict, Qiao Sisi escalated it herself.
By now, it has turned into a situation where an argument is inevitable.
Gu Tong glanced at her, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in her profound eyes, saying, "Who says I have to talk to her, and who says I am uneducated? Making hasty judgments about someone’s character and slandering others’ reputations—is that the upbringing of a lady of a prestigious family? Heh, I’ve truly experienced it."
As the words hit the ground, everyone fell silent.
Almost instantly, they widened their eyes, speechless, dumbfounded, unable to believe it.
This outsider girl truly has guts, daring to retort to Qiao Sisi’s words.
Truly, she isn’t afraid of death...
Even Qiao Sisi herself didn’t anticipate such a result, and was momentarily stunned, unable to react, not knowing what to say.
The sarcasm in Gu Tong’s eyes intensified.
Qiao Sisi is just someone who picks on the weak, trying to use Gu Tong, who lacks family support, to maintain her reputation for upholding justice.
Justice warrior? Defender of the oppressed? Chivalrous lady?
These are the reputations Qiao Sisi has crafted intentionally, though unintentionally spoken by those around her.
Gu Tong had encountered many who intentionally crafted an image, but she loathed those who stepped on others to build their own reputation.
Clearly, Qiao Sisi had picked the wrong target.
"How dare you say that to me!" Qiao Sisi grit her teeth, angrily said, "You obviously bullied Xinxin on purpose, refused to acknowledge her as a relative, and now you even reverse the accusation! Turn things around!"
Gu Tong casually touched her nails, nonchalantly said, "Miss Qiao, your words are interesting. My surname is Gu, hers is Gong. Where’s the relation? If heard by others, wouldn’t there be a misunderstanding."
Qiao Sisi glared, going further to delineate the family relations, speaking hard facts, and hitting back, saying, "Your husband is from the Li Family, Aunt Gong is the lady of the Li Family, Xinxin is Aunt Gong’s direct niece. Calling you sister-in-law is perfectly fine. If this isn’t family, what is?"
Gu Tong raised an eyebrow, laughing, saying, "Miss Qiao is wrong again. My father-in-law has two wives. My husband’s biological mother, Bai Su, is truly to be called the Lady of the Li Family. Gong Qingwan is the second wife of the Li Family. Even when talking about family ties, it should start from the Bai Family’s bloodline."
Everyone was amazed at Gu Tong’s address of Gong Qingwan.
They didn’t expect her to dare say such things.
"Aunt Gong is the matriarch of the Li Family, how could you speak of her like that!"
