Yun Liu’s heart sank. “Mom, let’s go over and take a look.” So saying, Yun Liu hooked her arm around Zheng Xiu’s.

Zheng Xiu, however, was unwilling to go. “Why should I voluntarily go there when she’s not asking me to? I’m not going! ”

Yun Liu quietly told her mother what happened between Gu Man and the Xi family before saying, “Mom, do you think Aunt Chang Hui is avoiding us because of what happened with Gu Man?”

Zheng Xiu shook her head. “Not possible. She only raised Gu Man by her side because she’s pretty. Gu Man’s biological parents were such disappointments that your aunt holds her in disdain! We’ll think more highly of her if she can get her hands on Xi Cheng or Shi Nian. If not, hmph! She’s nothing to us; our Gu family has never lacked girls!”

Zheng Xiu’s casual words struck Yun Liu deeply. Yun Liu bit her lip and tried her best to ignore those words. “Mom, that’s all the more reason for us to go and take a look,” she uttered. “We should find out what happened. To put it bluntly, if we’re affected by this, we should at least know why, right? Our Gu He is still so young; what if this affects him?”

Zheng Xiu immediately recovered her wits at the mention of Gu He. “Alright, we’ll go over now. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely find out what happened.”

Yun Liu heaved a sigh of relief. In the past, in the Yun family, she only needed to put in a little effort to coax her adoptive parents and brother to achieve her goals, whereas now, she has to have hundreds of tricks up her sleeves. ‘Zheng Xiu only has Gu He in her heart. She’ll do her best on anything involving Gu He,’ Yun Liu thought. ‘Only two branches of the Gu family are in Rong City right now, but every one of them is competing against each other. I have to deal with outsiders AND them; how tiring!’

Chang Hui grimly waited for her daughters to return with news. Gu Man was the only one by her side. She carefully waited on Chang Hui, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The silence broke when Zheng Xiu came in and smilingly asked, “Oh my! What happened to you, Gu Man? Your eyes are so swollen. Did someone make you

Chang Hui’s gaze shot directly toward Yun Liu. Yun Liu hurriedly shook her head and glanced at her mother, implying that she hadn’t told her about it.

Chang Hui’s expression lightened up slightly. She glared at Gu Man and sighed, “Why else can I say? In the end, it’s our own flesh and blood that’s most dependable! Look at Yun Liu; although she wasn’t raised by us, she has our family’s style—unlike a certain someone who never learns no matter how much we educate her!”

Gu Man lowered her head even further. “Yun Liu, go see if the garden’s tulips have bloomed. I’ve been itching to see them,” Zheng Xiu said and smiled at Yun Liu—an obvious excuse to send her away. The mother and daughter couldn’t appear to be too intimate before Chang Hui; the woman preferred it if everyone was only close with her, Chang Hui.

Yun Liu quickly stood up and left. This little act was really a child’s play for her. Gu Man looked at Yun Liu leisurely scrolling through her phone in the greenhouse and felt extremely upset. Anger burned inside of her; there was a time when Gu Man wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge this timid girl, even if she’d kneeled before her. But now, Yun Liu had slowly but steadily secured her status as the Gu family’s young lady, forcing Gu Man into an unbearable position.

‘ my?! It isn’t fair!’ Gu Man inwardly cried. ‘How am I any inferior to Lin Yu, Shi Gao, and Lin Yu in terms of beauty and mentality? Why do they all get to be high and mighty while I’m still struggling at the bottom? Its so unfair! I won’t accept this!’

“Gu Man, do you want to know what Lin Yu said to me?” Yun Liu suddenly asked, still looking down at her phone.

Gu Man was startled, thinking, ‘So she knew I was here all along? Gu Man snapped, ‘What she said to you has nothing to do with me.”

She angrily sat down opposite Yun Liu. Yun Liu put down her phone and lifted her head to smile at Gu Man. “What she said was about you, so of course, it has something to do with you. She said she doesn’t want you to end well because you embarrassed her.”

Gu Man didn’t know how to handle Yun Liu’s straightforwardness. “Why are you telling me all this?”

Yun Liu smiled. “Because we share the same surname, Gu. We’re family. She’s gone so far as to ally with me to get rid of you; it’s obvious how much she hates you. Shouldn’t you think of a way to get back at her?”

Gu Man couldn’t help but cry and mumble, “I know Xi Cheng has feelings for me. The only reason I lost to Lin Yu is because I lost Madam Xi’s favor. I trusted Lin Yu too much in the past. She’s a wretch, through and through! She deceived me. Even Shi Gao was deceived and still treated her like a good friend. We’re both so… so stupid!”

Yun Liu was now certain that Lin Yu was indeed a ruthless character and made her decision. It seemed that Lin Yu was someone that Yun Liu could use.

“I must marry better than her!” Gu Man hissed.. “I’ll show her who’s more capable!”
