Chapter 68: Nothing to Say

However, Gu Zhaoxia obviously didn't listen, and she held onto Gu Junsheng, tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "Dad, it's really Gu Mingzhu... If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have found Zhang Zhihong at all."

As soon as she said this, before Gu Junsheng could speak, some people who were somewhat displeased with Gu Zhaoxia began to mock her.

"Oh, I thought Miss Gu Second was so capable, turns out she's just stealing someone else's deals."

"Relying on the favoritism of parents and the convenience of funds to snatch deals that others have worked hard for, and it's even with her own sister, her character is really not good."

Xu Xingbai couldn't help but sarcastically join in, "So, as they say, what's meant to be will be. Now it's just retribution coming around."

"But then again, did she really sleep with that Zhang Zhihong? That really lowers her value too much..."

"Mrs. Zhang made such a fuss, I think it's probably true. Oh my, people really can't judge by appearance, huh?"

...

Seeing that it was almost enough, Gu Mingzhu also stood up and looked at Gu Zhaoxia, speaking gently, "I did indeed have some contact with Zhang Zhihong, but after a few exchanges, I found him to be arrogant and unreliable, so I had no intention of cooperating with him. I never expected my younger sister to..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Zhaoxia, looking hesitant.

Gu Zhaoxia was trembling with anger, pointing at Gu Mingzhu with wide eyes, "Gu Mingzhu, you're lying! It was clearly you who deliberately led me there, it's you... all of this was your plan!"

Listening to her words, Gu Junsheng frowned and looked at Gu Mingzhu with a scrutinizing gaze.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes reddened, and she chuckled bitterly, sounding a bit desolate, "All the credit should go to my sister, now that such a big thing has happened, if you want someone to take the blame for you, I have nothing to say. After all, all these years..."

With that, she seemed to accept it calmly, refusing to speak further.

Well, who doesn't know how to act?

Back then, how much suffering did Gu Zhaoxia make her endure by pretending to be innocent? Now, she's just returning the favor!

The more Gu Mingzhu acted like this, the more reasonable her words seemed to the people around her.

After all, isn't it true?

When Gu Zhaoxia was being praised and feeling proud, she didn't mention Gu Mingzhu at all.

Now that trouble has arisen, she readily pushed her sister out. Isn't this just finding someone to take the blame?

"Dad..." Gu Zhaoxia looked at Gu Junsheng and was about to say something urgently.

Gu Junsheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Enough, don't say anymore. Let someone take you to see a doctor first and tidy up properly."

Gu Zhaoxia was immediately pulled away by Yang Huiru, who whispered something to her as they walked, and Gu Zhaoxia finally calmed down.

Gu Junsheng didn't look at Gu Mingzhu again, but turned to the guests present and said, "I'm really sorry for the disturbance today. I will definitely come to apologize in person another day. The Gu family is currently facing difficulties, and my wife and I are deeply saddened. However, the Gu family has been planning to enter the furniture industry for a long time and has already invested a lot of money, so if anyone has mahogany materials to assist the Gu family, the Gu family will be extremely grateful and will return the favor..."

Gu Junsheng's words were well said, his solemn plea caused the onlookers to restrain their desire to watch the excitement, and there was a bit more seriousness.

The farce ended, and the banquet dispersed.

Gu Mingzhu also intended to leave, but she had only taken a few steps when Gu Junsheng called out to her, "Stop right there!"

Gu Mingzhu slowed her pace, turned around to look at him, her gaze cold.

Gu Junsheng's expression darkened slightly, he stared at her and said slowly, "Zhaoxia is different from you, she is simple-minded, unlike you who are scheming. Do you think your actions would make me dislike her? Let me tell you, even if she suffers a hundred times more than you, she's still a hundred times better than you!"
