Chapter 111 - 111: Gu Qingluan’s Irresistible Charm
Gu Qingluan looked down without any remorse and apologized, “Sorry, did your butt crack from the fall?”
Just now, Gu Qingluan had one arm around Tang Shijun while grabbing Gu Jinyue’s wrist with her other hand.
She released her grip, Tang Shijun was fine, but Gu Jinyue staggered backward, stumbling several steps before falling on her butt.
Gu Jinyue didn’t care about the pain. Seeing Gu Qingluan’s hypocritical face, she twisted her mouth in anger. “Gu Qingluan! You did it on purpose!”
“Didn’t you ask me to let go?” Gu Qingluan blinked innocently with her star-like eyes.
Tang Shijun covered her heart with her hand.
Heavens, Gu Qingluan was too provocative!
Without hesitation, she spoke up for the other person. “Miss Gu is right, Gu Jinyue. Don’t push the blame on others. It was clearly you who asked her to let go!”
Struggling to get up from the ground, Gu Jinyue glared at Tang Shijun fiercely, but her gaze quickly shifted to Gu Qingluan.
Whenever Gu Qingluan appeared, she became Gu Jinyue’s number one target of attack, excluding everyone else automatically.
“Gu Qingluan, your arrogance won’t last long. My uncle is now a Revered One. As soon as he emerges from seclusion, he’ll immediately deal with you!”
Gu Qingluan’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. She glanced at the set of accessories on the counter and turned to ask Tang Shijun, “Do you like this?”
Tang Shijun paused for a moment, realizing that Gu Qingluan was speaking to her, and quickly nodded, “Yes, I like it!”
Gu Qingluan picked up a hairpin and gently inserted it into her hair, a faint smile on her lips. “As bright as the rising sun, as dazzling as a lotus emerging from turbulent waters. It suits you well.”
Tang Shijun blushed.
Was she being praised by Gu Qingluan?
Gu Qingluan was so beautiful, and Tang Shijun couldn’t compare to her at all. Was Gu Qingluan mocking her?
She met Gu Qingluan’s sincere and admiring eyes.
“Re-really? Thank you…” Tang Shijun stuttered.
Gu Qingluan gave her a faint smile.
Tang Shijun was instantly enchanted.
A sharp and piercing female voice interjected, “Gu Qingluan, did you not hear me speaking?”
Tang Shijun furrowed her brows and coldly glanced at Gu Jinyue, “You’re so noisy!”
Gu Jinyue rolled her eyes, “I wasn’t talking to you. Get out of the way!”
Then she looked at Gu Qingluan, “Gu Qingluan, you’re just a Heavenly Realm Stage cultivator. My uncle is more powerful than you now. If you kneel down and beg me, maybe I’ll say a few good words for you in front of my uncle.”
Gu Qingluan looked at her with a mocking smile.
Gu Jinyue, feeling a sense of fear from her expression, unconsciously took a step back.
But then she realized she was afraid of Gu Qingluan. She felt embarrassed and said angrily, “In consideration of our sisterhood, I’m willing to help you. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“Gu Jinyue, are you stupid, or do you think me as a fool?” Gu Qingluan shook her head lightly.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think I would believe that you’re willing to let me go?” Gu Qingluan’s lips curled with a scornful arc. “Then I might as well believe that the Gu family will soon perish.”
“Gu Qingluan, how dare you curse the Gu family!” Gu Jinyue shouted, her eyes filled with astonishment.
“It’s just a metaphor. But if the Gu family is filled with pig-brained people like you, indeed, its downfall won’t be far away.”
Everyone present was shocked by Gu Qingluan’s words. She actually dared to say such things in public. It was simply courting death!
Tang Shijun looked at her worriedly. “Miss Gu, aren’t you afraid that this will reach the ears of the Gu family? If it spreads, others will accuse you of being unfilial and disloyal..”
