Yan Lu’s smile froze for a mont, but she quickly spoke as if nothing had happened: "My surna is Yan, and my na is Yan Lu."
She deliberately emphasized the word "Yan."
Yu Ruohuan lifted her eyes and cast a glance at her.
Jing Zhan hesitated, his attitude no longer as arrogant as before, "Your friend’s thoughts are seriously problematic. Out of respect for Miss Yan, I won’t call the police, but you must educate her properly. Such ideas must never appear again. Furthermore, she must apologize to Miss Yu."
Gao Yuyue couldn’t suppress her fiery temper, "Why should I apologize to her? Who does she think she is?"
Jing Zhan sneered coldly, "Looks like you don’t know what’s good for you and insist on drinking the punishnt wine."
With that, he was about to call the police.
Gu Bichen shot a glance at Gao Yuyue. His temperant was usually gentle and refined, rarely displaying harshness, making this the first ti Gao Yuyue saw such a sharp expression from him.
Unconsciously, Gao Yuyue showed a mont of fear for the first ti, as if she had done sothing wrong, and turned her head away in frustration.
Gu Bichen looked at Yu Ruohuan: "Do you wish for this matter to be exposed to everyone?"
Yu Ruohuan raised an eyebrow: "Bichen, what do you an by that?"
"Control your dog and don’t let it bite randomly."
Jing Zhan: ...
"Who are you calling a dog?"
Jing Zhan was furious, her lungs nearly exploding.
Gu Bichen didn’t even spare her a glance, "Moreover, as citizens of Hua Country, under the premise of not harming national interests, every citizen enjoys freedom of speech. I’d like to ask you, which article in criminal law states that discussing a criminal would result in being charged? Tell , which one?"
Wen Wan couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward, saying, "Gu Bichen, what are you venting on Ruohuan for? Sure, you have the right to free speech, but no one has the right to absolve soone as heinous as Sang Kunrou. And you, least of all, can’t do so. Don’t forget how Sang Kunrou hard your Gu family back then. All those years of reading books have gone into a dog’s belly. Do you even know how to write the eight virtues of loyalty, filial piety, integrity, etiquette, righteousness, honesty, and sha?"
Gu Bichen’s face remained composed: "Eldest Lady Wen, may I ask, did you personally witness Sang Kunrou’s treason and betrayal?"
Wen Wan: "How could I possibly witness it personally?"
"Hearsay is futile; only seeing is believing. These eight words, please rember them well, Miss Wen."
"You’re twisting words and logic. I can’t believe you bear the surna Gu. Gu Bichen, I truly misjudged you."
"If esteed Miss Wen places in high regard, that would be my honor."
When it cos to sarcasm, Gu Bichen could compete with Shen You’an.
Wen Wan was so angry she pointed at him: "Gu Bichen...."
The previously silent Yu Ruohuan calmly cast a glance at Gu Bichen: "Awan, that’s enough."
"Ruohuan...."
"Debating right and wrong in such matters is truly aningless. Who is right or wrong, everyone has their own judgnt. No matter how eloquent he is, there’s no way he can turn black into white."
Yu Ruohuan didn’t look at them again, lifting her steps to walk through Ancient City’s gates.
Wen Wan and Jing Huan chased after her.
Jing Zhan shot a bitter glare at Gu Bichen, then reluctantly cast a glance at Liu Runxi before finally turning to follow them.
Gao Yuyue spat: "What does she think she is?"
Yan Lu sighed helplessly: "The Sang Ziming you ntioned earlier, Elder Sang—she’s nominally his great-granddaughter."
Gao Yuyue rolled her eyes so hard they nearly flipped to the sky: "She? As if she deserves it. It’s just a case of a monkey claiming to be king when there are no tigers in the mountain. Pretending for so long she actually believes herself to be so noble heiress."
Yan Lu cast her a puzzled glance: "You actually know?"
The dog-blooded drama of the Yu family back then, along with Sang Ziming’s death, had long been buried in the dust of history. Very few people knew about it now. How could Gao Yuyue, a native of Qingzhou, know it so well?
Gao Yuyue snorted coldly: "If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it in the first place."
Gu Bichen glanced at her, "You’d best not set foot in Jingzhou. Otherwise, who knows what might happen."
This was almost a threat.
Gao Yuyue snapped with annoyance: "No matter how powerful the Yu family is, can they commit murder in broad daylight?"
Gu Bichen remained composed: "Feel free to try."
Yan Lu added, "You don’t know the ways of the Yu family. On the surface, this Miss Yu looks compassionate and kindhearted, but within the circle, rumors persist that she inherited the Yu family’s signature ruthlessness. Under their power, human lives are as insignificant as grass."
Gao Yuyue stubbornly retorted: "This is a society ruled by law now...."
Yan Lu shook her head helplessly, her gaze seeming to say: How can you be so naive?
"Tell , how could the offspring of a re ’actress’ act so arrogantly? I simply can’t accept it. Elder Sang was so pitiable. The world the Sang family built ended up being usurped by treacherous villains. Her descendants, on the other hand, didn’t et a good end either. This world is just too unfair."
