Chapter 1652: Chapter 1653: I Will Definitely Stand By Your Side

"Same reason, which half of your brain thinks I’d know."

Such a sharp tongue.

No wonder Gu Xue just got so upset with her.

Cui Jiangjing, instead of getting upset from the retort, actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling pretty good. He said to her, "I noticed you hadn’t come back after a while, so I came to find you. Little Yan Rong and the others are still waiting for you in the private room. Shall we go back?"

"Mm."

Gu Linxi nodded and headed toward the private room.

Halfway there, she suddenly said in an ethereal way, "You don’t ask me why I’m not going back to the Gu Family or why I’m so negative towards them."

"I won’t ask until you’re ready to tell me." Cui Jiangjing stuck one hand in his pocket and coolly grabbed her hand with his right, smiling casually, "You’ve said it has nothing to do with the Gu Family anymore, and I’m not interested in past grievances. No matter who was wrong before, to me, you’re definitely right. I’ll always side with my girlfriend."

Gu Linxi stared at him for a while and mumbled, "Pretentious."

Cui Jiangjing, "..."

How was he being pretentious, and why did his precious girlfriend dislike him again... Is there anyone more pitiful than him?

Gu Linxi turned her head, shifting her eyes away from him, and suddenly said slowly, "Ning Qing liked my dad when she was young. My dad saw her as a younger sister and didn’t reciprocate. Later, he met my mom and they married. After that, Ning Qing stirred trouble in the family, did everything she could to sabotage my mom, and was great at pretending, convincing the elders that my mom was in the wrong. My dad couldn’t stand it and took my mom away to live, starting his own business, founding Gu Enterprise single-handedly. The company grew bigger and bigger, but one day, he went bankrupt. He couldn’t bear the blow and jumped to his death, and my mom couldn’t handle the shock and fell ill and died. Gu Enterprise was acquired by the Gu Family and became the most profitable and powerful part of their business."

"Was Uncle’s death related to the Gu Family?" Cui Jiangjing was very surprised.

"It has nothing to do with them, a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs; they’re not that twisted."

But still revolting.

Cui Jiangjing guessed something from her disgusted demeanor, gripping her hand like he wanted to give her strength.

Gu Linxi had long moved beyond needing others to help her move on, she had long accepted everything that had happened in the past.

Looking at him, she said, "I hate the Gu Family, especially Ning Qing. Gu Xue is Ning Qing’s daughter, and you’ve had dealings with her. For that reason alone, I didn’t really want to get involved with you."

Her dad’s death wasn’t related to the Gu Family, but their exploitative nature after his death made her utterly sick.

Especially Ning Qing; when her dad’s business encountered trouble, Ning Qing was involved.

But Ning Qing wasn’t very skillful and was dumb, only playing a minor role in it.

That didn’t stop her from loathing Ning Qing.

People say if an enemy stabs you, you might not find it too painful because it’s expected. But if a family member does it, that pain is far worse than anything an enemy could inflict.

No matter if Ning Qing was just a small screw on that knife, she despised her to the extent of wanting to destroy her.

It’s just that she’s not as cold-blooded; Old Madam personally apologized, Gu Nancheng knelt on the ground in tears, saying sorry to his elder brother and admitting they shouldn’t have taken advantage after his death, so she didn’t take harsh action against these so-called family members.

She’s always protected Rong Yan, probably because both she and Rong Yan are people without families.
