Yun Liu pushed Gu He onto the sofa when they got home. Zheng Xiu immediately rushed to her son and exclaimed, “What’s wrong? What happened? Gu He, were you out drinking?”

Gu He hugged Zheng Xiu and cried loudly. He pointed at Yun Liu and tattled,

“She hit me! Mom, she hit me!”

Zheng Xiu’s face darkened, and she shouted at Yun Liu, “How can you hit your little brother?!”

She turned back to Gu He and reached out to touch his face. Gu He cried out in pain, and Zheng Xiu quickly called the maids to bring an ice pack and a hard-boiled egg. She babied and comforted Gu He while she busied around without even giving Yun Liu a second glance.

It was only now that Yun Liu’s blood gradually flowed from her numb limbs back to her heart and then flowed back to her limbs. Yun Liu recovered her wits, and desolation welled in her heart.

Gu He and Gu Fei’s verbal abuse and Zheng Xiu’s disregard for her made Yun Liu feel extremely aggrieved. She regretted stepping forward—regretted standing up for her unworthy brother. She should have turned around and left, turning a blind eye to him. What did it have to do with her if he got corrupted and turned bad?

Gu He finally calmed down under Zheng Xiu’s consolation but still glared at Yun Liu hatefully.

Zheng Xiu yelled at Yun Liu. “You’re his elder sister! How can you bully your little brother? This is outrageous!”

She stretched out her hand and lightly swatted Yun Liu twice, giving Yun Liu a look as she did so. Yun Liu only felt numb. Zheng Xiu turned around and said to her son, “See, I’ve punished your sister. She has learned her lesson. She won’t do it again.”

Gu He jumped up and bossily stated, “No, that won’t do! You hit her too lightly. I’ll teach this wretched girl a lesson she won’t forget!”

Gu He picked up the crystal fruit plate on the table and threw it straight at Yun Liu’s head. Yun Liu subconsciously dodged, and the crystal plate struck her collarbone. Yun Liu fell to the ground in pain. She was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face as she covered her injured collarbone, and she couldn’t speak.

Gu He condescendingly stared at her and meanly uttered, “Let’s see if you still dare to poke your nose into my business in the future! Hmph!”

That said, he swaggered away. Yun Liu was in so much pain that her vision turned black. Zheng Xiu hurriedly called out to her son’s disappearing figure, “Don’t be angry, sweetie. I’ll be sure to lecture your sister.”

Only when Gu He was gone did Zheng Xiu squat down and ask Yun Liu, “How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?”

Yun Liu gasped in pain. “I… need to go… to the hospital.”

Zheng Xiu frowned. “It’s just a plate. Why would you need to go to the hospital for such a small thing? It won’t be good for our reputation if this gets out.”

Yun Liu raised her head and tearfully looked at Zheng Xiu. “Mom, Gu Fei brought Gu He to a bar to drink and got him bar girls. He even wanted to bring him to a gay bar. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll be drugged and get addicted to drugs?”

Zheng Xiu was shocked. “What?! It was Gu Fei who brought him out to drink?”

Yun Liu didn’t say anything. She stood up with some struggle and started walking out. Zheng Xiu hurriedly caught up to her, saying, “That Gu Fei is so malicious!”

Yun Liu gritted her teeth and walked out without saying a word while holding a hand to the injury on her collarbone, thinking, ‘And your son who struck his own sister isn’t?

The media and trending searches exploded with the news that Gu Fei, the only male heir of the Gu Corporation, had an illegitimate child. By the time Gu Rou and Gu Wan knew about it, it was already in the top three trending searches, and there was nothing they could do.

Gu Rou furiously told the others, “The news came from Yun Innovations. We don’t have any grudges against Yun Innovations, so why would they cause trouble for us?”

Gu Fei angrily stated, “It wasn’t Yun Innovations! It was that b*tch, Yun Liu, who spilled the beans! I was there; she said it herself! News spreads fast in a place like a bar—faster than the Internet! That b*tch! We must kick her out of the Gu family!”

The others looked at each other in disbelief. Gu Jing analyzed and asked, “If that’s the case, it seems Yun Nan and Yun Liu have quite a close sibling relationship. Are those two trying to ruin our reputation together? Is Yun Nan still holding a grudge against us because of Shi Xiu? Isn’t that going too far? The Shi family hasn’t even said anything. She’s just Shi Xiu’s sister-in-law, so what is she making a fuss for?”

Gu Xiang remarked, “I didn’t expect her to be so insidious as to meddle in our family’s matters. I told you guys that Yun Liu would never be one of us, but all of you praised her and said she was obedient and sensible. As expected, it’s the quiet ones that bite.”

“We shouldn’t have registered her in the family tree if you ask me. We should have told the public there was a mistake; she’s not the Gu family’s biological daughter. I’d like to see how she can live the shame down! Hmph!” Gu Xiang continued, feeling extremely upset when she thought of the company that the Yun family had given to Yun Liu.

Gu Wan was very clear-headed and asked Gu Fei, “What did you do to provoke her? Why would she say such things to discredit you?”

Gu Fei nonchalantly replied, “I was just bringing Gu He out to experience the world. Who knew that I would bump into her? She’s such a busybody! Oh, right, she even slapped Gu He.. Her mother and auntie won’t let her off easily when she gets home!”
