But somehow, Eleven felt a sense of oppression in her heart.
She really couldnât stand scenes like this.
It was as if...
She saw herself from more than ten years ago. Even if she just stayed somewhere without doing anything, she was still considered in the wrong.
That feeling of sympathy tugged at her heart.
Eleven jumped down from him, looked at that family, and said, "I havenât even talked about your dirty tricks yet. You let any Tom, Dick, and Harry in hereâin such a serious occasion, you even let a madwoman in, who almost took my life. I havenât blamed any of you from the Gu Family yet, and you dare to complain about us?"
The Gu Family members who were about to leave all stopped and turned to look at her.
Madame Gu said, "Whoâs this country bumpkin! So ill-mannered! Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"I have no parents; Iâm indeed ill-mannered. So, what are you going to do? Have I eaten your food or drunk your water? Did I do anything to offend you? What does it have to do with you?"
"Youâ" Madame Gu wide-eyed, was pointing at her but couldnât utter a word.
Itâs been so long since someone had spoken to her so disrespectfully!
Even Gu Liancheng was taken aback on hearing this.
This girl...
When she speaks, sheâs surprisingly articulate.
Ye Fei watched from the side, chuckling.
She liked seeing Eleven lash out. Whatâs so good about being soft and easily bullied? Itâs good to be assertive!
"Thatâs certainly better than you! You failed your own responsibilities, let a madwoman in, and then shoved the blame onto the victim. The infamous Gu Family, thatâs simply what you are!"
Old Master Gu said, "Iâve lived longer than you, and eaten more salt than youâve had rice. Itâs not your place as an outsider to comment on the Gu Family. If you continue being so rude, Iâll have to ask you to leave."
"Old Master Gu, have no worry. This crappy place, we wouldnât even want to be here if we werenât afraid of ruining your eightieth birthday and having people talk about your incomplete family. We donât regard this place highly at all!"
Old Master Guâs eyebrows knitted together, his anger was real.
Gu Xi came forward and whispered, "Auntie Four, stop talking, Grandpaâs anger has serious consequences."
Eleven wasnât afraid.
What relation did she have with the Gu Family? What if they did get angry? Did she lose her inheritance or property? After all, she didnât want anything from the Gu Family, so whatâs there to fear? Putting up with Gu Lianchengâs demands regularly, Eleven didnât show any sign of backing away.
Father Gu stepped forward and said, "This is our Gu Familyâs business, you need not concern yourself!"
"Who cares about your damn business? I was just reminding Old Master Gu, to leave some room for yourself. The eldest is no more, the second is in prison, and the third treats marriage like a joke. The Gu Family has yet to see a great-grandson. Do you truly believe Old Master Gu, with one foot in the grave already, can die peacefully?"
"Youâre growing presumptuous with each word!" Father Gu fumed, "Fourth Brother! Are you condoning such disrespect from your wife?"
Gu Liancheng shrugged, "Sheâs spoiled rotten, canât teach her any manners now. Old Master Gu, please excuse us."
His indifferent attitude was what really angered them.
Why should he stop Qianxun?
This rare chance to see her give them a piece of her mind, why should he intervene?
Old Master Gu frowned heavily, watching her: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much, really. The Gu Family has no heirs, Old Master Gu might not rest in peace. Iâm just saying, you donât have to be so ruthless. We donât have to acknowledge you all. Treating him this way, he still wants to acknowledge you, shows his character. But I lack any. I hold grudges and I repay them too. When Old Master Gu passes away and thereâs no heir in sight, it wouldnât be our fault."
