Chapter 23:Not the Big Shot’s Style
Ruan Xueling didn’t expect that Gu Yang, whom she was so proud of, would also return home late after she scolded Gu Jin for being undisciplined. She felt her face burn as if she had been slapped.
Gu Jin glanced at Gu Yang and leaned lazily against the sofa, chuckling. “Mrs. Gu, why don’t you repeat what you just said to the outstanding Yangyang?”
Ruan Xueling glared at Gu Jin. Of course, she wouldn’t scold Gu Yang like she scolded Gu Jin, so she picked on Gu Jin. “Gu Jin, is this how you greet your mother? I’ll teach you how to respect your elders today!”
Seeing that Ruan Xueling was about to rush in front of Gu Jin and slap her, Gu Yang immediately went over and hugged her arm, stopping her from courting death. “Mom, Big Sister just came home and hasn’t completely adapted. She needs some time to change, right?”
Hearing Gu Yang’s words, Ruan Xueling’s anger dissipated a little, but she was still indignant. She stared at Gu Jin and sneered. “Yangyang is still the sensible one, unlike some ingrates…”
Gu Yang quickly interrupted her and decisively used Ruan Yan to divert her hatred. “Mom, are the results of the skincare test that Cousin Ruan Yan gave me out?”
As expected, at the mention of Ruan Yan, Ruan Xueling’s anger towards Gu Jin was transferred to Ruan Yan. “That b*tch is indeed vicious! The lead content of that skincare product is too high. When you first use it, you will feel that your skin has become paler, but as time passes, you will be disfigured.”
Gu Yang already knew about this, but she still pretended to be shocked. “How could this be? I’m so good to Cousin Ruan Yan, but she actually…”
Ruan Xueling sneered. “What else can she do? She’s inferior to you in every way, so she’s naturally jealous of you! I think she’s most likely the one who exposed the trending topic! Yangyang, Mom will definitely teach that b*tch a lesson for you!”
“Fortunately, the skincare set that Ruan Yan gave me last time was knocked over by Little Jue. You didn’t use much this time.” Ruan Xueling caressed Gu Yang’s face, her eyes filled with love and relief for her daughter. “But no matter what, we still have to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Gu Yang nodded obediently and sighed in her heart. Ruan Xueling was really biased toward her adopted daughter.
“That’s right, it’s all thanks to Little Jue. Otherwise, if I kept using that skincare set, my face might have rotted.” Gu Yang patted her chest and rejoiced. She couldn’t help but think to herself, was it really unintentional for Feng Jue to knock over her skincare products? Could it be that he was like Gu Jin and had long seen through the problem with this skincare product?
Only then did Ruan Xueling realize that Feng Jue had followed Gu Yang in and was carrying a lot of things. She frowned.
Gu Yang knew that Ruan Xueling was only generous to her and would definitely be unhappy to see Feng Jue buy so many things, so she said, “I bought those things. Jue helped me carry them back.”
She wasn’t lying. She had indeed bought them, but they were all for Feng Jue. This mental compensation had to be done slowly, but material compensation could be done in one go.
Ruan Xueling frowned unhappily. She was wondering why Yangyang would come back so late. So it was because of Feng Jue. However, after hearing Gu Yang’s words and thinking that Feng Jue had accidentally helped Gu Yang, she didn’t say anything else.
Gu Yang accompanied Ruan Xueling for dinner and chatted for a while. Only when her anger subsided did she go upstairs.
Gu Jin leaned against the door of her bedroom. She rubbed her shoulder that Ruan Xueling had hit with a teacup with one hand and swiped her phone screen with the other.
Gu Yang couldn’t guess what the big shot was thinking, but she felt that her mother had drawn a lot of hatred. It was better for her to salvage the situation. “Big Sister, Mom must have been angry at you because of Ruan Yan. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
“Oh,” Gu Jin replied nonchalantly, but she still leaned against her door like a guard.
Gu Yang asked, “Big Sister, is there anything else?”
Gu Jin held her phone forward and a WeChat QR code appeared on it. “Here’s the bill for the meal at Jinyang Pavilion. Round it up to 20,000.”
Gu Yang, “…”
A billionaire was actually blocking her door and asking her to return the 20,000?!
This was not the big shot’s style, right?
