Yun Nan subconsciously reached out and touched her lips. Shi Nian’s kiss was still imprinted in her mind, and her face heated up when she recalled it.

Ye Kun and Fang Xi hadn’t had the chance to speak with each other lately; they had all been too busy these past few days after returning from Lu Town. Ye Kun had immediately sensed the subtle change in Fang Xi’s attitude and wasn’t one to question his good luck. Straightaway, he turned his boyfriend charms to the max and cared for Fang Xi 24/7, letting her feel the happiness of being so completely loved.

Fang Xi was very touched and thought, ‘So this is howit feels to be loved. It turns out that love needs to go both ways.’

Videos of Shi Xiu’s fan meeting swiftly became a hot topic, resulting in Gu Fei’s instant fame, or infamy, as it may be.

Chang Hui, Gu Wen, Zheng Xiu, and Yun Liu rushed to Bai Jie’s place as fast as they could when they heard the news. Chang Hui secretly rejoiced while trying her hardest to maintain a worried and anxious expression, whereas Zheng Xiu hid behind her sister-in-law and acted like her puppet, as usual. Gu Wen was arrogant like her mother, and Yun Liu followed her mother’s cautiousness.

“Bai Jie, how could this have happened? Our Gu Fei is such a good boy! He couldn’t have done something like that! Who is this girl smearing him?” Chang Hui quickly stated her stance on the matter.

Bai Tie scowled darkly. She looked terrible and had dark circles beneath her

eyes; she obviously hadn’t slept well. She didn’t feel like answering any of Chang Hui’s questions.

Chang Hui didn’t let that deter her and pressed on. “Where is Gu Fei, anyway?

Didn’t he say he was going on a trip with Shi Xiu? Why is Shi Xiu back, but our Gu Fei isn’t? Oh, dear. He was such a good child before, but look how much he’s changed since he came to Rong City and got involved with that Miss Shi!”

She continued, “Bai Jie, no offense, but we should go and have Gu Fei and Shi Xiu’s fortunes told. It might be that their birth charts are incompatible. How else would something like this happen to our good and obedient Gu Fei?”

This slightly mollified Bai Jie. No mother was willing to admit that her child was at fault; the fault naturally lies elsewhere. She regained her composure and senses and told them, “I’ve asked Gu Fei about this, and he said he did no such thing. I’ve already sent someone to speak to that girl. If Gu Fei really did mess around with her, we’ll arrange a meeting to discuss compensation.”

Chang Hui scoffed, “Compensation? She’s slandering our Gu Fei’s reputation, and you want to compensate her?! She should be the one paying us compensation! It’s Gu Fei’s reputation we’re talking about; we can’t let her get away with this!”

“If Gu Fei says he didn’t do it, then he didn’t do it! That girl made everything up! She just wants to cling to our family. Bai Jie, you can’t be so soft-hearted. This concerns our Gu family’s reputation! ” Chang Hui indignantly uttered.

Gu Wen glanced at Yun Liu and asked, “Could this woman be someone Shi Xiu and her company hired? Yun Liu, aren’t you quite familiar with Shi Xiu and her family? Do you know who this woman is?”

Bai Jie didn’t want to talk to Chang Hui and the others, so she also stared at Yun Liu when she heard this. Gu An and Zheng Xiu’s newly recovered daughter was pretty, as obedient as Zheng Xiu, didn’t talk much, and had good manners. Bai Jie didn’t dislike her as much as the other girls from the Gu branch family, but she hadn’t spoken much to her because she didn’t know her well.

Bai Jie smiled and said gently, “I almost forgot that our Yun Liu is also a big star. Is it common to suddenly ask such questions at a fan meeting like this?”

Zheng Xiu’s gaze fell on Yun Liu. She knew her daughter was adaptable, so she wasn’t worried about her at all. She now loved and cared more for Yun Liu than her other daughters—Gu Mei and Gu Li—because this daughter, whom she didn’t raise, was more attentive and knew her mind.

Yun Liu’s fingers curled slightly on her knees. She reservedly glanced at her aunt, and only when Chang Hui nodded did she reply, “I’m not too sure how something like this could have happened, either. Logically speaking, the fans at a fan meeting are all strictly screened, and the questions raised by the fans are all reported in advance. Fan events like this are meant to increase an idol’s image, so they won’t allow questions that’ll embarrass their idol, unless…” Yun Liu let her words trail off and tentatively glanced at Bai Jie.

Gu Wen sneered, “Unless it was intentional? Auntie, I told you that Shi Xiu was up to no good! If she doesn’t like Gu Fei, she should have just said so; it’s not like the Shi family is our only marriage option! What right does she have to humiliate Gu Fei? Humiliate our Gu family? Now, thanks to this matter, her popularity has risen, and everyone’s praising her to the heavens. She’s stepping on our Gu family to get to the top! She’s really too much!”

Yun Liu nodded lightly and carefully remarked, “Sometimes, celebrities create news topics to increase their popularity and exposure. However, they usually create scandals or fight for a spot in a show, movie, or something. It’s quite rare for celebrities to slander themselves as Shi Xiu did. I don’t get it, either..”
