Chapter 660: Untitled
She no longer had that meek facade she put on when she requested help from Gu Qingjiu before.
At that moment, Tan Yalan fully displayed her true colors.
Arrogant and unbelievably unkind.
“What do you think? Is this a place someone like you can come to?”
She stared at Gu Qingjiu with those eyes of hers that didn’t have a single shred of the gentleness and love. Something of which should be seen in the eyes of a biological mother.
Instead, she didn’t even bother to veil her contempt and hatred.
She still bore that resentment towards Gu Qingjiu for her refusal to marry into the Li family, for her unwillingness to sacrifice for the Yu family.
Gu Qingjiu let out a sneer. “How strange. Madam Tan, surely you didn’t book this entire hotel? Why can’t I come here when you can?”
“Still as insolent as ever.”
Tan Yalan’s gaze turned stern. “Never mind if you don’t know how to show respect to your elders. Now, you’re even doing something so shameful. Thank god I didn’t bring you back to the Yu family back then. Or else who knows how much disgrace you will bring upon our Yu family!”
Gu Qingjiu felt like a needle stabbed her heart, bringing about a pain that started subtly and gradually intensified in magnitude.
“What shameful thing have I done? And what’s that got to do with your Yu family?”
Every time she met with Tan Yalan, she had to refresh her morals.
She really couldn’t fathom just why Tan Yalan had given birth to her back then when she hated her so.
“Aren’t you here because you’re a mistress? And you even have the audacity to argue back!”
Tan Yalan blurted out all this without qualms, stunning everyone around her.
Honestly, everyone who came into this place was of certain social status. There were bound to be filthy scandals among those prominent families.
But who would say something like that out loud in public?
Tan Yalan’s blatant tone articulated her intent to shame this girl in public.
When they turned towards the girl, they saw that blood had drained from her face.
However, she wasn’t as flustered and helpless as they had imagined. It was just that her eyes grew increasingly cold. “So this is what your wonderful daughter told you? And you just believed whatever she said? Oh, I forgot, you will believe whatever nonsense this daughter of yours tells you.”
“Yalan... Yalan, whatever it is, don’t speak about it here.”
That beautiful woman, who was shocked to see Gu Qingjiu earlier, cast a worried glance at Gu Qingjiu, before instantly tugging at Tan Yalan’s hand.
As if to stop her.
Tan Yalan, however, got more fired up and wholly ignored the stares of everyone around her. “Gu Qingjiu, let me tell you this—don’t dream of ever returning to the Yu family in this lifetime. The Yu family will never want someone like you!”
Tan Yalan never mentioned the fact that Gu Qingjiu was her daughter. It seemed like she was trying to imply that Gu Qingjiu was simply an illegitimate daughter.
An illegitimate daughter that was trying to return to the legitimate family...
As though Tan Yalan was trying to defend something.
And Gu Qingjiu was that illegitimate daughter who, other than being unpresentable, had done something utterly disgraceful.
Although the color of blood drained from Gu Qingjiu’s face, unending sorrow overwhelmed her on the inside.
She suddenly curled her lips. “I really can’t believe that I’m your biological daughter. The way you’re behaving nearly made me think that I’m an illegitimate daughter your husband had with some woman outside, for you to loathe me so much. And for you to want to smear my name even at the expense of disregarding your face in front of so many people.”
