Old Master Ruan glared at Gu Yang. It was obvious that he didn't like the original owner of the body.
Logically speaking, although the original owner of the body was a pretentious b*tch, she was still very pleasing to the elders on the surface.
Old Master Ruan doted on his eldest granddaughter, Ruan Chu, the most. He had always looked down on Xu Yun, the mistress, and Ruan Yan, the illegitimate daughter. However, Gu Yang was on good terms with Ruan Yan and even helped Ruan Yan snatch Ruan Chu's resources several times.
These were all small fights. What really made Old Master Ruan hate Gu Yang was that Gu Yang caused Ruan Chu to suffer internet violence and got expelled from the entertainment industry.
To put it simply, Ruan Chu's boyfriend in the entertainment industry had an affair with Ruan Yan. Ruan Chu scolded the scumbag and mistress online, but Ruan Yan and the guy turned around to accuse her of getting in between them.
Originally, the two sides were in a deadlock, but because Gu Yang had a good relationship with Ruan Yan, she testified for Ruan Yan and hinted to the netizens that he was Ruan Yan's boyfriend.
With the testimony of Gu Yang, the little princess of Zhaofeng Entertainment, the genius pianist, and the Ruan family's cousin, all the public opinion was on Ruan Yan's side. Hence, Ruan Chu was criticized on the internet and called a mistress who ruined other people's relationships.
Ruan Chu could not withstand the overwhelming online abuse, so she issued a statement to leave the industry. Because she had suffered a huge blow, she even suffered from serious depression.
When Old Master Ruan found out about this, he was furious. Not only did he dislike Ruan Yan and her mother, but he also hated Gu Yang to the core.
In the novel, after Old Master Ruan found out that Gu Yang wasn't the real daughter and had forcefully taken over Gu Jin's identity, he even forbade Gu Yang from entering the Ruan family's old residence.
Ruan Xueling didn't dare to diss the old man like how she dissed Ruan Zhixiong and Xu Yun. She could only lower her head slightly and explain, "Dad, haven't we already announced Little Jin's identity?"
Old Master Ruan snorted. "Little Jin is back, but what about Gu Yang? She has occupied Little Jin's identity for so many years. It's time for her to return to her own place, right?"
Gu Yang felt helpless. The old man wanted to chase her out of the Gu family. Ruan Chu meant everything to the old man. The original owner of the body had really offended the old man badly.
Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming's expressions changed.
"How can that do?" Ruan Xueling shrieked. "Yangyang is only 17 years old and hasn't reached adulthood yet. She also has hemophilia. How can she live without the Gu family? Dad, how can you be so heartless?"
Gu Zhaoming added, "That's right, Dad. We were unable to investigate Yangyang's real background. It's very likely that Yangyang is also an orphan. Without us, how would Yangyang survive?"
The corners of Gu Yang's mouth twitched when she heard that. She suddenly felt like she was a big baby.
It was not to the extent that she could not live without the Gu family.
After all, this was the Gu family's matter, and Old Master Ruan couldn't interfere. He could only give them a warning. He looked at Gu Jin and said in a benevolent voice, "Little Jin, if your parents don't treat you well, come to the Ruan family and seek justice from your grandfather."
Gu Jin looked at Old Master Ruan and hummed softly. After a while, she said, "Thank you, Grandfather."
Old Master Ruan felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard this.
"You guys go ahead. Little Jin, come with me." Old Master Ruan was obviously worried and wanted to tell Gu Jin something in private.
Ruan Yan glared at Gu Yang coldly before going upstairs.
Gu Yang noticed her gaze and clicked her tongue. This could be considered falling out with her.
She looked across at Ruan Chu.
Ruan Chu was a year older than Ruan Yan, and her appearance was more beautiful and enchanting. She was wearing a wine-red dress, and her golden waves hung on her shoulders. She looked gorgeous as if she was born to walk on the red carpet.
However, there was no expression on her face. Her eyes were dark and lifeless. When she seemed to have noticed Gu Yang's gaze, she only sneered mockingly.
