Zhu Di emitted a soft snort, her impression of Xu Niannian less than favorable. "Junior, our brother Gu Pei has nothing to discuss with you. Isn't that right, Pei?"
She turned to Gu Pei for confirmation.
Gu Pei nodded firmly. "Sister Zhu Di is absolutely right!"
Feeling a bit embarrassed by the confrontation, Xu Niannian's humiliation turned to anger. "How meddlesome! His own sister didn't stop me. Who are you outsiders to interfere?"
Approaching Xu Niannian, Gu Yang's eyes turned cold, her voice gentle yet firm. "So, we're showing you respect?"
Xu Niannian paused, recalling Gu Yang's identity. With a sneer, she retorted, "You're just an adopted child. How dare you claim to be his real sister?"
Gu Jin and Feng Jue regarded Xu Niannian with icy gazes.
Enraged, Gu Pei stepped in front of Gu Yang. "Damn it! Xu Niannian, I've told you it's over. Have you no shame?"
