Chapter 630: I feel so wronged

"She's really something. She's beautiful and so smart. Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity she's paired with Chu Yan. I saw that the eldest young master seemed to have a thing for her during the barbecue at the Gu family's house over the New Year!"

"Really?! Why isn't the young master making a move? Although her family background isn't quite right for her, she herself is amazing! She and the young master are indeed a good match!"

“I secretly observed at the time. It seemed that the eldest young master had expressed his feelings, but Zhou Guyin rejected him. Although she didn’t reject him openly, Chu Yan was also there at the time. She seemed to favor Chu Yan, so the eldest young master gave up.”

"Oh my! Young Master and Chu Yan, whoever it is, knows how to choose! If she gets together with Young Master, wouldn't she be the Crown Princess? What good is Chu Yan besides money?! And all that money belongs to his family!"

"Putting aside his family background, besides being rich, he's handsome, kind, humble, speaks over a dozen languages, graduated from the world-renowned University of Florida, studied under one of the world's most powerful financial tycoons, dared to enter war zones in his teens, single-handedly earned his company tens of billions, and his post-graduation thesis even revived the economy of a war-torn country. Putting aside these facts, at least he doesn't speak ill of people behind their backs. If we disregard his family background, what do you have?"

A cold, emotionless female voice rang out from the side, startling everyone!

Everyone looked over and saw Gu Yin take off the blanket and sit up.

Thinking about what they had just said, and then about what Gu Yin had said, everyone felt embarrassed and angry. Embarrassed that they had spoken ill of others and that Gu Yin had disrespected them!

“We are stating the facts, and we haven’t said a single bad word about you the entire time! You don’t need to say such things about us!”

Gu Yin coldly looked at them: "First point: What are the facts? Am I not stating the facts? Putting aside your respective identities, what do you have to offer that you can compare to him? Second point: Even if we don't put aside your identities, he serves the people, but your family members are in politics or the military, aren't they also serving the people? Is serving the people just empty talk? Your awareness needs improvement! Still talking about scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, and still reeking of money, ha, go back and tell these things to your grandparents, and see if they break your legs! Third point: Although you haven't explicitly said anything about me, Chu Yan is my man. Slapping him in the face in front of me, are you sure this isn't slapping me in the face?"

The crowd's expressions shifted repeatedly, unsure what to say. Gu Yin's words were true. Although they outwardly looked down on Chu Yan, they all knew how outstanding he was. The only thing that could bring him down was his family's wealth, and frankly, who doesn't love money? Eating, drinking, and having fun—all of these require money. Their cars were worth at most a million or so, while Chu Yan drove cars worth tens of millions, and not just one! He not only had cars, but also airplanes and cruise ships. If the country didn't restrict rocket sales, he could afford to buy rockets! If Chu Yan stood next to them, and they said he came from a wealthy family, no one would doubt that they were nouveau riche!

But no one wanted to bring up these facts. Given their status, if they said Chu Yan was bad, who would dare to say they were wrong? Only Gu Yin dared to speak out! And what could Gu Yin and the others do? It was so frustrating!

Suddenly, several clods of earth fell from the sky and hit the group on the head. Behind them came Wu Chong's angry curses.

"You guys were the ones eating the most just now! They say you're obligated to those who eat your food, but this age-old saying has become 'he who eats your food is stubborn,' and you're not only stubborn but also filthy-hearted! You just keep babbling on and on! I'll teach you a lesson for your babbling! Get lost, you bastards!"

Wu Chong was so angry that he picked up a clod of dirt and threw it at them. He was furious! They had just finished eating their food, and hadn't even left the house yet, and they were already cursing at them! Who taught them that?!

Damn, this is so embarrassing. He came here with Chu Yan and overheard what those people were saying. He wanted to stop them, but he was worried that Chu Yan would think he was on their side and that he thought the same way about him.

Heavens have mercy! Although Chu Yan's family is in business, their annual tax payments amount to a third of the national treasury! Besides, he's so outstanding, his teacher is a world-renowned figure, and he has so many excellent fellow disciples. In the young master's words, if Chu Yan wanted, he could even short-sell the economy of a superpower with everyone in his sect! Plus, there's the formidable Gu Yin around. How dare they speak ill of Chu Yan? Utterly foolish! If only he had gone to the military headquarters with the young master today! This embarrassing moment wouldn't have happened!

When everyone saw Wu Chong and Chu Yan, their faces turned pale. Gu Yin hadn't expected Chu Yan to come over. Thinking of what she had just said, she was worried that he might feel uncomfortable, so she put on her shoes, got up, and came downstairs.

Chu Yan smiled and took her hand: "The two kilns are ready. Would you like some more?"

Seeing that the smile in his eyes was genuine, Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not hungry."

Wu Chong, who was standing next to her, stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu Yin awkwardly: "I'm really sorry about today."

After saying that, he looked at the group of people and immediately yelled, "Come over here and apologize! Apologize and get out of here!"

Those people immediately came over and apologized to Gu Yin.

Then Wu Chong punched Nobody again: "What else!"

The group looked grim, bowed their heads and apologized to Chu Yan, then left the farm.

With everyone else gone, Wu Chong looked at the two of them and said, "I'm really sorry about today. What they said was completely unfounded. As you all know, those people don't do much besides eating, drinking, and having fun. The eldest son and I have never thought of Young Master Chu that way. We all know what kind of person Young Master Chu is and how outstanding he is. Even the old man has praised Young Master Chu. I'm very sorry that I caused everyone's unhappiness today!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and said gently, "It's alright. A-Yin knows what kind of person I am and whether I'm outstanding or not. I don't care about other people's opinions."

Wu Chong: "...Alright, I'm going to get something to eat!"

Gu Yin: "..." Even in this condition, he can still eat! He has the nerve to eat in this state? Amazing!

If Wu Chong knew what Gu Yin was thinking, he would immediately reply, "How can those people and food compare? They're the ones in the wrong, not me! Why would I leave? If I leave, it would make me look so guilty!"

After everyone left, Chu Yan took Gu Yin's hand and intertwined their fingers. He bent down and rested his chin on Gu Yin's shoulder, saying in a low voice, "I heard what you just said. You said I'm your person."

Gu Yin: "...Is that the point? You're good at omitting the beginning and the end."

Chu Yan chuckled: "For me, this sentence is of utmost importance!"

The warm breath he exhaled landed on Gu Yin's neck, sending a tingling sensation through her and causing her to tilt her head to the side.

"What I said is true. Okay, get up quickly. Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting over there to dig the kiln."

Chu Yan looked at the small bumps on Gu Yin's neck, her eyebrows curved, and she muttered, "I wasn't angry about what they said just now, but I felt so wronged. They all said I'm not good enough for you. I feel inferior, and I need a kiss to feel better."

Gu Yin: "..."

The old woman's shouts could be heard in the distance.

Gu Yin helped Chu Yan up, hooked her arm around his neck, and pressed him down. Two seconds later, she turned and left, saying, "Hurry up, Grandma is calling for help!"

Chu Yan reached out and touched his face, which had just been stamped with a seal, chuckled, shook his head, and followed after them, their fingers still intertwined.

Gu Yin tried to shake him off twice but failed, so she let him lead her.
