Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 759: Her Boyfriend’s Path Left Her With No Way Out

Editor: Henyee Translations

When Gu Shuda heard this, he immediately recoiled.

He stared at Gu Shuxue. “Shuxue, what on earth are you saying? Eldest Aunt is youthful and radiant. Do you truly see her as the mother of two?”

Gu Shuxue wrinkled her brow, puzzled by her dim-witted brother’s constant efforts to curry favor with the eldest branch.

Ruan Xueling felt a twinge of satisfaction at Gu Shuda’s praise.

However, Old Madam Gu interjected with biting sarcasm, “If you’re not kin, you’re an outsider. The Gu family isn’t an orphanage; we don’t just welcome anyone in.”

Old Madam Gu harbored a disdain for Gu Zhaoming and those who overshadowed him at the recent birthday celebration, including Gu Yang and the others.

Her words elicited frowns from Gu Hongwei and the elders, even those who typically supported her. They found her remarks untimely and inappropriate.

Given Gu Zhaoming’s exceptional achievements, other noble families were eager to ally with him. The Gu family had also reaped benefits from his success, making it impractical to cast him aside, despite Old Madam Gu’s sentiments.

Just as Gu Yang was about to initiate the tea ceremony, Feng Jue preempted her. He cast his gaze downward and addressed Gu Zhaoming, “Father, if Sister and I are unwelcome here, then perhaps we should return to Jin City.”

Gu Jin’s eyelids twitched as he regarded Feng Jue with a cold gaze. Was this man attempting to manipulate his sister into eloping?

Gu Zhaoming fell into a brief silence as he listened. Though Feng Jue’s strategic retreat aligned with the family’s plan, there was an unsettling feeling nagging at him.

Gu Yang remained silent for a moment, contemplating the implications. What if her boyfriend followed suit, leaving her with no recourse but to comply?

Reluctantly, she played along. “Father, it’s important for you to reconnect with Grandpa and Grandma. We wouldn’t want to disrupt that bond. Since we’re unwelcome here, let’s depart for now.” Her voice was gentle, almost fragile, as she glanced at Gu Hongwei, as if silently pleading.

Despite knowing his daughter’s performance was a charade, Gu Zhaoming’s heart still twinged. He shielded Gu Yang behind him and faced Old Madam Gu and Gu Hongwei, coming to their defense. “Blood or not, Yangyang is still my daughter, an integral part of this family.”

With a sidelong glance at Feng Jue, Gu Zhaoming added, “And Feng Jue too.”

“Father, our family has always prized unity and harmony. If Mother truly doesn’t wish to see them, perhaps we should relocate from the old residence tomorrow,” Gu Zhaoming suggested to Gu Hongwei.

Observing the compliant yet vulnerable demeanor of Gu Yang and Feng Jue, Gu Hongwei felt Old Madam Gu’s aggression was excessive.

Despite his efforts to persuade Gu Zhaoming’s family to remain in the mansion, Gu Hongwei frowned upon hearing his son’s proposal. “Ms. Feng, as your surname isn’t Gu, it may not be appropriate for you to stay in the mansion either.”

Old Madam Gu stared at Gu Hongwei in disbelief. “Husband, after bearing your children, you dare claim you’re not a Gu?”

Gu Shuda chimed in, “Grandma, didn’t you just say that?”

Gu Zhaoye added, “Exactly, Mom. Dad didn’t make that claim. You did.”

A collective silence fell over the gathering, punctuated only by awkward glances exchanged among the attendees.

Gu Zhao’an and Gu Shuzhi’s faces contorted momentarily. Simultaneously, they reined in their troublesome son and father.

Why hadn’t a victor emerged after years of strife? Because each side had an ally who only spectated and concurred.

Old Madam Gu had expected her son and grandchildren to rally to her defense. Their words, however, left her so incensed she struggled to catch her breath.
