True Form

When I mentioned Gu Nian's name, Lu Yan's eyes were filled with hatred. She raised her hand to hit my face, and I grabbed her wrist. She sneered as I looked at her swollen face. "Lu Yan, why haven't you changed your surname to Lu? Is it because you don't feel like you've earned it?

"You are the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, but you do not have the temperament to carry that title. Is that why you're on this small island? You're here to boss people around because you don't feel powerful at home?

"Compared to the Gu Family, the president of this island is nothing. How big of an embarrassment you must be to the Gu Family. You are such a disappointment to the Family. Even Ye Qian was better at this job than you are!"

I let go of Lu Yan's hand and gave her a push. Lu Yan took a few steps back and bumped into a booth. She fell and looked at me with shock and resentment.
