Ning Tangxi realized that something was wrong and continued to question her mother. "What's going on between the two of you? Last month, when I called, weren't you getting along just fine?"
Zhang Yuan shook her head and looked at her daughter with pain in her eyes. "Tangxi, don't ask anymore."
She thought that as long as she stood her ground on Yanwei's matter and tried to coax him, Ning Tang would eventually compromise. After all, he had doted on her and loved her for so many years.
But this time, he was different. He didn't even bother to look at her when he came back to the house.
Zhang Yuan was now afraid. She suspected that if the issue with Gu Yanwei was not resolved, her marriage would be shattered.
Gu Yanwei had just come out of her room and hid herself to listen in on their conversation.
"Mother, what are you so worried about? Why are you and dad fighting so fiercely?"
"It's all because of Gu Ruochu! Because of her, your father forced me to send Yanwei away..."
Zhang Yuan did not acknowledge Gu Yanwei as the main cause of their quarrel. Her husband, who had doted on her for so many years, had suddenly become cold-hearted. Her caring daughter, who could not bear to see them suffer, was now embarrassed.
The entire Ning family was in disarray.
Zhang Yuang's heart felt like it had been twisted.
"Just because of your goddaughter, you forced father to stay away from our home?" Ning Tangxi shook her head and was a little irritated. "Since father doesn't like Gu Yanwei, you should have sent her back to the Gu family. Did you have to make the whole family restless?"
Ning Tangxi also hated Gu Yanwei. She was a predator. What status did she want in the Ning family?
"What do you know? I will not send Yanwei away." Zhang Yuan trembled in anger when she saw that even her daughter could not understand her.
"Mother, have you gone mad? You're going against father because of an outsider? Don't you realize how angry father is?"
"This is Gu Ruochu's fault. What does it have to do with Yanwei?" Zhang Yuan frowned.
"Mother, I think you've really gone mad. This is all Gu Yanwei's fault!"
Ning Tangxi shook her head. She did not understand why her mother cared so much about Gu Yanwei. "Mother, tell me, why are you defending Gu Yanwei?"
"Because..." Zhang Yuan almost revealed the truth but quickly changed the subject. "No, it's Gu Ruochu's fault! She's the one who has caused the Ning family to lose their peace. She's a pest!"
This was the first time Ning Tangxi had been this angry with her mother. Her eyes turned cold. "All right, it seems that your precious goddaughter is the only person you care about. I'm also a pest. I'm a dog. I'm an animal, right?"
She purposefully wanted to anger her mother. Why was Gu Yanwei so important to her?
"Shut up, Tangxi, I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that!"
Ning Tangxi was also her daughter, whom she loved. She could not afford to hear her demean herself.
Her heart was filled with pain.
"Alright, since you're unwilling to send Gu Yanwei away, I'll help you." Ning Tangxi felt that she could not argue with her mother anymore. No wonder her father had become so cold and distant.
"Mother Li, pack up Miss Gu's things. I'll personally see her out." Ning Tangxi remembered that Zhou Yunxi was also living in their home and became even angrier. "Pack up Zhou Yunxi's things as well. I don't want to see any of them again!
"Mother, if you insist on supporting your goddaughter, I might as well move out!"
"Tangxi..."
Mother Li walked towards the hallway nervously, not knowing what to do. Gu Yanwei turned around and quietly returned to her room.
Ning Tangxi was back. Her position in the Ning family was now under threat. What could she do?
After thinking about it, Gu Yanwei concluded that the only person who could help her was Zhou Yunxi.
