The Gu Family acted imdiately and went to find Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun was overwheld with the matter of Nianyang being detained for causing a death during treatnt. Upon hearing Gu Yuandao say there was sothing to announce regarding Gu Nianyang, he imdiately broadcasted a ssage, calling the villagers to the community hall.
"Gu Yuandao, the villagers are here. Just say what you have to say quickly, don’t delay everyone’s work!" Zhang Jianjun said, seeing the villagers had gathered.
Gu Yuandao said solemnly, "Mayor, fellow villagers, I know that Gu Nianyang caused a death outside due to her reckless actions. You all think that it reflects poorly on the Gu Family’s ancestry, thinking the descendants of the Gu Family are all bad influences.
But this actually has nothing to do with the Gu Family. It’s the sin that Gu Nianyang herself committed, tarnishing the village’s reputation!"
Upon hearing this, the Jiang Family imdiately got angry. Jiang Aiguo was the first to speak out, "Second Brother, isn’t what you’re saying too heartless? Yangyang is your daughter, she got into trouble, and the truth hasn’t even been investigated. Instead of thinking about finding her, you’re here shirking responsibility. Is that what a father should do?"
Sun Li, who hadn’t slept for days worrying about Nianyang, also spoke angrily, "Exactly, even though you’ve always favored Gu Youlan, you’re still Yangyang’s biological parents. Even we as relatives are extrely worried about Yangyang, but you only think about distancing yourselves. You’re simply unworthy of being parents!"
Although the villagers felt that what Nianyang did was disgraceful, the actions of the Gu Family were seen as overly cold-hearted. What kind of parents don’t try to resolve the situation when their child is in trouble, and instead disassociate themselves?
"Gu Yuandao, you went to great lengths to gather the villagers just to say this?" Zhang Jianjun said disdainfully. He originally just thought the Gu Family disliked the youngest daughter. But it seed they disliked her to the extent as if she weren’t their biological daughter!
"Mayor, villagers, listen to . I know you think what I said shows a lack of responsibility, but it’s not to shirk responsibility; it’s because I’m too responsible that I had to say this!"
Gu Yuandao first said this pompously, then continued seriously,
"If Gu Nianyang truly were my daughter, I definitely wouldn’t ignore her troubles. But the problem is, she’s not my daughter. How could I tolerate an outsider ruining the Gu Family’s reputation? For the sake of my family’s na, I, as the head of the family, must take responsibility and clarify everything!"
His words were like a colossal stone dropping into the sea, instantly stirring up a thousand waves, leaving everyone shocked!
"What did you say, Gu Nianyang isn’t your daughter?" Zhang Jianjun was dumbfounded; he had just muttered a complaint quietly, not expecting it to turn out true?
"Gu Yuandao, do you know what you’re saying?" Jiang Aiguo was so provoked he didn’t even call him ’Second Brother,’ "You’re even denying your daughter just to shirk responsibility?"
Sun Li said, "Back then, we saw your wife pregnant with our own eyes, her belly was so big in the later stages, how could it be fake? Do you think we’re all blind?"
Wang Ying said with her hands on her hips, "What do you know? My old Gu is telling the truth. Gu Nianyang is just an illegitimate child, not soone I gave birth to!"
Gu Yuandao said slowly, "Mayor, Big Brother, fellow villagers, I’m telling the truth: Gu Nianyang isn’t the daughter of and Wang Ying. Our real daughter died when Wang Ying gave birth. I found Gu Nianyang on my way back after burying my daughter. Seeing she was pitiful, I brought her ho to raise!"
