At this moment, Gu Yaxi pretended to be innocent as well. "It couldn't be me either. Everyone knows that Little Wu and I are best friends. I got so pissed off when she fell down just now. I thought it was my cousin who tripped her up."
Gu Yaxi was looking for excuses.
Meanwhile, Ling Wu had stopped shedding her tears. She glanced at Feng Sihan and then cast a glance at Gu Yaxi.
Feng Sihan was older than her and they did not interact much so she had no reason to trip her up.
As for Gu Yaxi, who was her best friend, it was even more unlikely for her to do so. Her furious expression was rather obvious the moment she saw Ling Wu tumbled to the ground.
Gu Yaxi ran her eyes down the gown that Ling Wu was wearing. It was a long evening dress.
"Little Wu's gown today is quite long. Did you accidentally trip over it?" Gu Yaxi asked Ling Wu in confusion.
Ling Wu could hardly remember how she fell down. She was rushing to play poker at that time, so she did not notice it.
Upon hearing Gu Yaxi's words, Ling Wu felt that it might be possible too.
After all, it was in her nature to easily lose her balance and fall down. Hence, the possibility mentioned by Gu Yaxi was very likely to happen.
Seeing her infuriated mother, Ling Wu reached out to tug her hand. "Mom, I tripped over myself. No one made me fall."
Only then did Madam Ling feel relieved after she knew that nobody was conniving anything.
However, she became worried again as Gu Yaxi's words crossed her mind.
Gu Nanyu has a thing for Xiuqi!
Xiuqi even considers him to be his best friend!
Such a person is too dangerous!
He is my only son, I'm not going to let others affect his sexual orientation!
Judging from Gu Nanyu's feminine appearance, he must be either a gay or a ladyboy!
At this moment, Madam Ling revealed a cold and aloof expression as she glared at Gu Nanyu in a haughty manner.
"Please leave now. The Ling family does not welcome people like you!"
Madam Ling's words were frosty and utterly emotionless.
Soon after Madam Ling gave her order, everyone fixed their eyes on Gu Nanyu.
The corners of Gu Yaxi's mouth slightly curled at the sight of this.
As long as she could achieve her goal, the process did not matter.
Whatever it was, she had successfully triggered Madam Ling's aversion toward Gu Nanyu.
Now that Madam Ling was about to chase him out of the Ling family, Gu Nanyu's name would be infamous in the social circle.
As the news spread, no one would dare to invite him anymore!
Too bad he is the eldest grandson of the Gu family. Otherwise, I'd have cast him out of the Gu family long ago! Deep down, Gu Yaxi was hatefully thinking about this.
Madam Ling realized that Gu Nanyu was remaining calm and casual instead of budging at all. He was still randomly looking at something that resembled a flash drive in his hand.
His careless, idle attitude only intensified Madam Ling's rage.
With that, she disregarded Ling Xiuqi's obstruction and summoned the security guards to chase him out.
"Kick this fellow out of here and never let him enter the Ling family's house again!"
"Madam Ling, who are you kicking out?" A cold voice spread across the atmosphere from Madam Ling's back.
There was a lack of emotion in that voice without any indication of warmth as if that person was born this way.
As Madam Ling turned around, her anger began to ease with her face softened when she saw Fu Beichen. She replied in a much more subdued tone, "This fellow. The eldest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Nanyu. If it's not because of the business dealings with the Gu family, our Ling family will never let this kind of person in!"
"Oh?" Fu Beichen raised his eyebrows. "In that case, it seems like I'm at fault."
Madam Ling was puzzled. "What does this have to do with you, Beichen?"
"Because I brought him in."
As Fu Beichen spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Gu Nanyu.
No one seemed to notice the gloominess deep in his eyes.
