Chapter 308 - Three-Hundred and Eight: Little Brother
Yun Liu gritted her teeth, thinking, ‘That Liang Han is really something, tossing me aside when I helped him! What a sanctimonious jerk!’ She didn’t believe that Liang Han didn’t understand the signals she was sending him, yet he used such a method to brush her off. ‘Hés too much!’ Yun Liu inwardly raged.
Seeing her daze off, Ding Ning called out, “Miss Yun?”
Yun Liu managed to collect her thoughts and focus on the present. Just as she was about to speak, she heard glass shattering from the side, startling her.
The two of them looked to the side and saw a group gathered together. Ding Ning sighed, “These useless and ignorant youths drink themselves silly and mess around every two or three days. They’ve got way too much energy to burn!”
Yun Liu was about to retract her gaze when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a face within the group and immediately stood up. ‘That’s Gu He!’ she thought.
Yun Liu walked over and saw a group of people surrounding Gu He, laughing and plying him with drinks. Gu He was already drunk; he had a dazed smile but didn’t reject any of their toasts. The sound of glass shattering just now was Gu He kicking the wine bottle over when he slid down the booth.
Yun Liu pushed everyone aside and went forward to pull Gu He up. She growled, “Why are you here?”
Drunken and bleary-eyed, Gu He asked, ‘Why do you care?”
The young men around them laughed and hooted. “Who are you, gorgeous, to get in Young Master Gu He’s business? Hey, she’s a beauty. Young Master Gu He, you have quite the luck with the ladies!”
Yun Liu’s hair stood on end, and already, she was filled with regret. She inwardly scolded herself, ‘Have I lost my mind being angry at Liang Han? How can I be so impulsive? I can’tjust rush to the fore, even ifits for Gu He! It’s is too damaging to my image/
However, what’s done is done; there’s no turning back. Yun Liu gritted her teeth, scowled at Gu He, and hissed lowly, “You’re coming home with me!”
Gu He shook her hand off with force. “What do you care? Go away! I haven’t had enough fun yet! I’m not leaving! Bro, you said you were going to take me to— to… Devil’s Hamlet! I want to go to Devil’s Hamlet!”
The group of drunkards jeered, “Oh, so Young Master Gu He doesn’t like women either! Then, let’s go to Devil’s Hamlet together! Young Master Gu Fei, let’s go!”
Only then did Yun Liu notice Gu Fei sitting on the other side of the booth with a wicked expression. She felt so angry that she glared daggers at him.
Gu Fei shakily stood up and grinned. “I was wondering who it was. Guys, meet my new cousin! Oh, you guys don’t know, do you? My cousin here is a celebrity! She’s a small celebrity, hehe. She’s pretty, isn’t she? Although she’s no Helen of
Troy, she can still be considered a demure beauty, right?”
Everyone burst into laughter. “Yes, of course. The Gu family is known for producing beauties, after all.”
Yun Liu was already trembling with anger and really wished she could disappear on the spot. She deeply regretted her reckless action. ‘I must have been brainwashed by Zheng Xiu, constantly instilling the idea of taking care of my little brother, to rush over immediately when I saw him.’
Ding Ning walked over and asked politely, “Miss Yun, do you need any help?”
Gu Fei nudged Ding Ning. “Yo, cousin, is this your boyfriend, my future brother-in-law? Dude, don’t tell me you want to marry into our Gu family. Hahaha, let me tell you, our Gu family doesn’t have any dowry for someone like my cousin, so stop dreaming! Hahahaha! ”
Gu He added, “That’s right. How can a wild child who grew up in an orphanage be worthy of our family? Let’s go, bro! Take me to Devil’s Hamlet!” Gu He and Gu Fei had their arms around each other’s shoulders as they laughed at Yun Liu without restraint.
Yun Liu landed a fierce slap on Gu He’s face, and everyone instantly fell silent. Yun Liu shook her numb hand and viciously glared at Gu He. “If I’m not worthy of the Gu family, what about you? Are you worthy of the hard work your sisters have put in for you?”
Gu He was dumbfounded. Gu Fei reached out and pushed Yun Liu away. “Why did you hit him? Don’t touch my little brother.”
Yun Liu was already mad with rage. Her mind was blank as she glowered at Gu Fei with reddened eyes. “You say he’s your little brother; then how dare you bring him to such a place? Stop trying to lead my brother astray. I advise you to go home and look after your illegitimate child instead!”
Gu Fei froze before he snapped, “What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t have an illegitimate child!”
“What?” Yun Liu sneered. “You don’t even remember the heinous things you’ve done? Why don’t you go home and ask your sisters where your illegitimate child is? That woman’s about to give birth any day now, isn’t she? How dare you care about others if you can’t even give proper care to your own child? You’re trying to lead Gu He astray so that he won’t have the right to inherit, aren’t you? Well, dream on! The entire Gu family will belong to Gu He when your scandal gets exposed!”
Yun Liu dragged Gu He over and left. Gu He got slapped and wanted to cry, but he was too scared by Yun Liu’s menacing state to do so. Thanks to that, Yun Liu brought Gu He out without much effort..
