Electronic City Center.
The woman was tall and slender, her ink-black hair cascading down her back. Her eyes, cold and clear like a mountain spring, exuded an ethereal and haughty aura that attracted many glances from passersby.
"Does the beauty like this too?" a sticky voice suddenly sounded from beside her.
Gu Danyu glanced up and gave the man a brief look before finishing her payment and turning to leave.
Si Yuanlong stepped in front of her; his greedy eyes lingered on her fair, delicate face, "Hey, I like this model too. Would the beauty be willing to part with it?"
The man was thin, with dark circles under his eyes, and he moved unsteadily. Gu Danyu narrowed her eyes, considering whether he could withstand a punch from her.
Suddenly, a petite figure ran over.
Gu Xinyue quickly wrapped her arm around Si Yuanlong's, her voice sweet, "Young Master Si, why didn't you wait for me?"
After speaking, she sneakily glanced at Gu Danyu, her grip on the man's hand tightened slightly, and a touch of resentment flitted through her eyes.
Damn it!
Gu Danyu, why is she everywhere, even trying to steal Young Master Si from me!
Those two old fools favored that Beijian person, and I, left with no home, had to move into the Ji Family's place.
Madam Ji was incredibly status-conscious. Once she saw that I had no contact with the Gu family, she ridiculed me daily and chased me out, while Ji Haotian, that useless man, was also locked up at home.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinyue clenched her teeth, her whole body pressing against the man's side.
But no matter, she had snagged another easy target.
The Si family, to which Young Master Si belonged, was the only Aristocratic Family in Beijing City that could rival the Lu Family.
Gu Danyu was unaware of the complicated dynamics involved; she saw the two holding hands in front of her, and suddenly felt like Ji Haotian had been cuckolded...
Such a play was absent in her past life.
She shook her head in disappointment. She had thought this couple was so in love, but with just a little obstruction from her, they had already fallen out.
"Sister, why are you here?" Gu Xinyue concealed the anger in her eyes, putting on a sweet smile.
Gu Danyu's expression was indifferent, "Who are you?"
The two words caused the smile on the young girl's face to freeze instantly.
Taking a moment to compose herself, she lowered her gaze slightly, her voice soft and tearful, "Sister, I know you have misunderstandings about me. Mom and Dad hate me too... But I really have nothing going on with Big Brother Haotian."
The delicate young girl's figure shook slightly, her emotions becoming agitated, "It's fine if you misunderstand me, but Sister, you're already engaged. Don't continue down the wrong path."
With one sentence, she portrayed Gu Danyu as a malicious woman who clung to her old flame even after getting engaged and who blamed her sister.
The onlookers in the shop caught wind of the scene and began murmuring amongst themselves.
"Who would have thought, that lady in the middle, quiet and cold, is actually so greedy."
"I can't stand people who play both sides like that; be careful, in the end, you might end up with nothing."
"That girl in the white dress seems so kind-hearted, still not wanting her sister to make a mistake even though she's being misunderstood."
Even Si Yuanlong beside her took a step back.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, although the beauty is appealing, one must not touch the poisonous Cuscuta Flower.
Gu Danyu's eyes grew even colder, the corners of her lips slightly curled, "Miss, don't mistakenly claim relatives. My parents only had one child."
Having said that, she brushed past the young girl and walked away without looking back.
"Eh, that woman seems to really not recognize her."
"Could it be that she mistook someone else for her sister, to the point of not even recognizing her own?"
Ignoring the surrounding doubts, Gu Xinyue's face turned ghostly pale at that moment as if a sore spot had been hit.
She was not the true daughter of the Gu family, a thorn in her heart, and now it had been ruthlessly exposed in front of everyone by her opponent.
