Chapter 512 - 513: Cleaning House
He lay beside Mo Shu’s pillow at this time, and amidst his few hours of sleep, a bizarre dream had repeated itself countless times.
In the dream, Mo Shu’s face was pale as she sat up in bed looking at him, her face full of shock and disbelief.
Yet he continued cruelly, "Isn’t this what you wanted? Just as you wished."
She, always calm and composed, seemed to crumble suddenly, disintegrating without warning.
He wasn’t unaware of her panic, her despair, her helplessness, but he still coldly watched her, turning around to leave.
Turning away, he submerged himself in darkness—in that narrow, quiet world, it was all her voice: "Yu Siqiao! Will you give me a chance to explain?"
"Will you give me a chance to explain?"
"Give me a chance to explain?"
That sentence, like a curse, echoed in his world, hard to dissipate.
...
"Knock, knock"
The polite knocking woke Yu Siqiao up.
Yu Siqiao opened his eyes, realizing only then that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.
His head ached slightly, and Yu Siqiao instinctively looked at Mo Shu’s face, seeing no sign of her waking. Both regretful and disappointed, he frowned and said, "Who is it?"
"Young Master Yu, the Zhuang Family’s people have brought Gu Wenjuan to apologize," Yu Chen’s voice held no fluctuation, as though the matter couldn’t stir any ripple in his heart.
Outside, everyone witnessed this, particularly Gu Wenjuan, who pinched her clothes. Her face, slightly pale, carried a hint of humiliation, and her eyes reddened again.
Yu Chen had always addressed her as Miss Gu before.
Since when had she gone from Miss Gu to being called by her full name, Gu Wenjuan?
Everything had changed, imperceptibly.
Gu Wenjuan felt a profound sense of loss, and tears welled up again.
Inside, Yu Siqiao, upon hearing the name Gu Wenjuan, instinctively felt repulsion and coldly said, "Tell them to leave."
Yu Siqiao’s voice, low and not loud, was however clear to everyone.
The female relative hurriedly said, "Special Assistant Yu, please speak to Young Master Yu, what Gu Wenjuan did has nothing to do with our Zhuang Family!"
Her voice was not soft, rather than speaking to Special Assistant Yu, it seemed she was directly addressing Yu Siqiao.
The female relative exclaimed, "From the moment she came in, Gu Wenjuan was no longer a person of our Zhuang Family!"
Gu Wenjuan’s face turned pale instantly, and turning around, she looked at the woman in disbelief, "How can you do this to me?"
The female relative seemed to hear a joke, "What am I? I am rightfully a Zhuang, and you, a Gu, were merely freeloading in our Zhuang Residence, and now you even want to tarnish our Zhuang family’s reputation—I’m merely cleaning the house!"
Gu Wenjuan angrily said, "My granduncle is the head of the Zhuang family! Your words don’t count at all!"
"You’re really funny, didn’t you understand the family head’s intention just now? They said our Zhuang family cannot afford such disgrace, we want to expel you from the family, don’t you understand?" The female relative sneered, then speaking to Yu Chen, said, "Although Young Master Yu is unwilling to meet us or accept the Zhuang Family’s apology right now, we won’t bother, but our Zhuang family has always been clean. Whatever the Gu surname did has nothing to do with us!"
"She was only temporarily living in the Zhuang residence, essentially she is still a Gu. We Zhuangs are good people, we don’t engage in such indecent activities."
