Chapter 244: Chapter 245: Severing Ties 6
So thatâs how it is. Gu Nianyang didnât kill anyone; instead, she cured the patient. Yet, such a great thing was spoken so badly by Gu Youlan, causing everyone who doesnât know the truth to spread rumors like fools!
All the villagers cast angry glances at Gu Youlan; she went to save someone and was smeared like this. What kind of ill intentions are these!
"Youâre lying!" Gu Youlan screamed uncontrollably, "I saw you being taken away with my own eyes, and the hospital nurse said you killed someone!"
"And all of this is just your words, isnât it? But now Iâve returned safely, how do you explain that?" Nianyang let out a disdainful smile; letâs see how the gossiping white lotus ends this!
Gu Youlan was at a loss. How could she have known that Gu Nianyang would come back? The security really was careless; how could they just let someone out like that.
"Itâs not simple, is it? It must be because of your boyfriend!" Gu Youlan, in a panic, passed the blame onto Li Tingyan standing behind Nianyang,
"He must have helped you get off scot-free. Heâs surely very influential, and youâre his girlfriend. He would never let anything happen to you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingyanâs gaze turned cold. This woman really is an idiot! Thankfully Nianyang isnât her sister; otherwise, wouldnât she drag Nianyang down in the future?
Seeing the villagers swayed into doubt by Gu Youlanâs words, Nianyang coldly laughed,
"Gu Youlan, do you know how serious the accusation youâre making is? If I report you with just a phone call, youâd be the one truly locked up!"
Gu Youlanâs face turned pale,
"What, you want your boyfriend to imprison me?"
"My man is upright and will not tolerate anyone questioning or defaming him!" Nianyang spoke word by word,
"You move your lips and say such irresponsible things. Seems like youâve given back all the political lessons you learned, ever heard of defamation against officials?"
With these words, the villagers who were originally hesitant immediately sided with Nianyang, some even speaking up for her, "Gu Youlan, how dare you slander others? Youâre really asking for trouble. Without their protection, how would we have a stable life? We wonât allow you to defame them!"
Gu Youlan stood awkwardly, unable to say a word in response to the criticisms. Wang Ying, anxious to protect her daughter, fearing Nianyang might truly report her eldest, quickly spoke, "Alright, alright, your sister was just joking. Since itâs all a misunderstanding, letâs just drop it..."
"Aunt Gu, Iâm not your daughter at all; what kind of sister is Gu Youlan to me?"
Nianyang spoke coldly. Before, considering Wang Ying as her original bodyâs biological mother, she didnât tear off the facade. But now, with the truth unveiled, thereâs no need to show any face to the Gu Family.
Upon hearing Nianyang call her Aunt, Wang Ying flared up instantly, her habit of oppressing Nianyang for years unconsciously exposed,
"You worthless brat, whatâs that attitude!"
"Stupid woman, shut up!" Regaining calm from the shock of Nianyangâs return, Gu Yuandao hollered at Wang Ying, who lacked insight.
Then he smiled ingratiatingly towards Nianyang,
"Yangyang, donât be angry. Itâs all a misunderstanding. Your sister didnât deliberately spread falsehoods about you. Now that youâve returned, letâs go back to how things were; weâre all family, donât hold grudges."
Gu Yuandao was now regretting it to death, wishing he could beat Gu Youlan to death on the spot!
If he had known that Gu Youlan was talking nonsense, he wouldnât have hastily announced Nianyangâs identity, which has now become public knowledge. How will he demand retirement funds from Nianyang in the future?
