Gu Chang is Gu Xi's elder brother.

The reason why the Li family tried every means to arrange for Li Duan to marry Gu Xi was because of Gu Chang.

He was a man of great talent and intelligence, and became famous at a young age. His mother died young, so he took great care of his only sister. As a result, the Li family in his previous life also benefited from his protection.

Yu Tang had seen him once from a distance.

It was at the one-year-old birthday party of Gu Xi’s eldest son.

It seemed that Gu Chang went to Huai'an for business, and secretly came to Lin'an to visit Gu Xi.

With his tall stature, handsome face and reserved smile, he looks friendly and amiable, but his eyes without a smile conceal a coldness and alienation. He is not as approachable or even easy to get along with as he appears to be.

It is said that it was his first visit to Lin'an.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chang would set foot in Lin'an City at this time in this life.

But why did he come to visit Pei Yan?

In his previous life, he came quietly and left quietly. He only stayed at the Li family for two hours. Apart from exchanging a few words with the people of the Li family, he kept chatting with Gu Xi while holding Gu Xi's eldest son.

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan is a very sensitive person.

He told Ah Ming: "Show me the post."

Ah Ming hurriedly handed the business card in his hand to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan looked at the name card and said, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Yu Tang blinked, and after a while she realized that Pei Yan was talking to her.

She glanced at her father and eldest cousin.

Yu Wenzhen looked at her eagerly, while Yu Yuan winked at her.

Yu Tang was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say to Pei Yan for a moment.

Pei Yan did not rush her. He closed the name card and handed it to Ah Ming, saying, "Go tell Ah Man and ask him to get ready."

Ah Ming left immediately.

Pei Yan's gaze fell on Yu Tang.

Yu Tang smiled awkwardly, and said softly, somewhat uncomfortably, "You, you know Young Master Gu?"

"Young Master Gu?" Pei Yan looked confused.

Yu Tang was puzzled.

Pei Yan said, "Gu Chaoyang is the eldest son of the second house, the sixth in line. But he is seven or eight years younger than the youngest son of the first house. He was famous for his literary talent when he was young, so the eldest master of the Gu family jokingly called him the eldest young master of the Gu family, but outside, others would respectfully call him the sixth master Gu." At the end, he said, "Gu Chang's name is Chaoyang, you should have heard of him, right?"

She hadn't heard of it.

In other words, the title of "Eldest Master" is unique to the Gu family.

Yu Tang was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Pei Yan snorted in dissatisfaction.

Yu Yuanteng stood up suddenly, with a look of ready to die. Yu Tang knew something was wrong at first sight.

Her eldest cousin is sometimes too straightforward and easily suffers losses at times.

She hurriedly tugged at her eldest cousin's collar, and before Yu Yuan could speak, she said, "Third Master, I was wrong about this. I was angry at the Li family for being so cruel, so I told the Gu family about what the Li family had done..."

Pei Yan was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at Yu Tang carefully again.

His big almond-shaped eyes were wide open, the black and white were so clear that you could almost see his shadow, and he looked as sincere as he could be.

But he went to complain privately!

Shouldn't I feel guilty or panic after doing something like this?

She was so open about it, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know.

What mistake did you just admit?

Pei Yan couldn't help but snorted again and said, "Do you really think you are wrong?"

Yu Tang remained silent.

She felt she had done nothing wrong.

Apologizing is just a habit I developed in my previous life in the Li family. No matter if I am right or wrong, I apologize first to let the other party calm down, and then I can decide whether to just let the matter go or argue with the other party based on the situation.

No one spoke, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

Yu Wen looked at Pei Yan, then at Yu Tang. Just as he was about to speak to defend his daughter, he heard Yu Yuan say in a gruff voice, "What did they do? Are they afraid of what others say? Besides, we didn't exaggerate or spread rumors. We just told the truth."

Pei Yan looked towards Yu Yuan.

To be honest, he had seen many young people like Yu Yuan who only knew how to follow their father and brother around. He didn't take Yu Yuan seriously the few times they met. He didn't expect Yu Yuan to speak before Yu Wen. It can be seen that Yu Yuan, as a brother, still protects his sister Miss Yu very much.

At least I have the guts to talk back to him.

No wonder Miss Yu is so courageous, it's all due to her family habits.

He asked Yu Tang again: "Don't you think what you did was wrong?"

Yu Tang finally realized that Pei Yan was looking for trouble with her.

No matter whether she was right or wrong, she had already apologized, why was he still holding on to it?

Yu Tang said: "I think my brother is right. If they dare to do it, they shouldn't be afraid of what others say. I did nothing wrong!"

Pei Yan asked: "Then what are you apologizing for?"

Yu Tang really wanted to roll her eyes, but she didn't dare to do so because she was afraid that her father would think that her mother didn't teach her well.

"I'm afraid you'll be angry, aren't I?" Fortunately, she thought quickly and immediately thought of a reason, "You've helped me so much, but I didn't do anything serious and instead went to cause trouble for the Li family..."

She usually coaxed her father and mother in this way and didn't realize there was anything wrong with it. As for Pei Yan, people usually had to be extremely careful when talking to him. Even when he was trying to dissuade someone, he would say it in a tactful and pleasant way and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

So he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Miss Yu still had a conscience and knew how to be grateful, so he didn't make things awkward with her and taught her, "If you think you're not wrong, don't apologize to others casually. You're not a servant of someone's family, why do you keep apologizing!"

He actually used a tone that sounded angry at the person for not fighting back.

Yu Tang was stunned, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart. It's easy to talk without feeling any pain in the waist. If you think you are right, you don't apologize. It depends on who it is. If it's him, of course it's okay. But it's not okay for her. In her previous life, she suffered a lot because of this.

But the thought flashed through her mind, and she felt so sad that she couldn't speak for a long time.

It turned out that she had been wronged in this way in her previous life.

It even changed her personality.

Make her become humble and timid.

Yu Tang's eyes suddenly became moist.

She lowered her head, not wanting others to see her weakness.

Yu Wen clapped his hands and said to Yu Tang, "My daughter, the Third Elder is right. You should speak your mind openly and honestly." After that, he said to Pei Yan with some emotion, "My daughter is good in every way, but she is a little timid. It is a rare opportunity for her to be with you. If anything happens in the future, please protect her."

Pei Yan had no objection to this, but he didn't make any promises either.

He predicted Gu Chang's purpose: "I met him several times when I was in Beijing. We didn't have much contact in normal times, and he wasn't the kind of person who liked to wander around casually. Moreover, he was ordered to leave Beijing this time, and his superiors were not from the same school as him. He was in the middle of doing things, and suddenly came to Lin'an City... After thinking about it, I realized that he and the Li family had some connection. In addition to telling the Gu family what the Li family had done, did you do anything else?"

Yu Tang's head shook like a wave drum.

Pei Yan didn't quite believe it.

This Miss Yu has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She won't admit it unless she's caught red-handed. No, maybe even if she's caught red-handed, she'll try to deny it.

Pei Yan asked, "You are not here to ask me about Li Duan's character, are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people from the Yu family looked at each other and immediately became silent.

It's possible!

Pei Yan laughed in anger, staring at Yu Tang intently, and then said quietly, "Miss Yu, you care so much about the Li family. If there is any disturbance in their family, you must have heard something about it, right?"

Although Yu Tang thinks that it is better to have a fiancé like Li Duan than to have one! But everyone believes that "it is better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage"!

What if Gu Chang really came to ask Pei Yan about Li Duan's character, she couldn't hide it and let Pei Yan suffer the consequences!

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan cautiously and whispered, "When my brother got married, I heard from the ladies that the Gu family wanted to cancel the engagement, and Madam Li went to the Gu family to plead for mercy. Later, I sent someone to inquire about the news, and the Li family closed the door to welcome guests. Some people also said that Madam Li was ill and went to Hangzhou City to see a doctor!"

Pei Yan was so angry that his chest heaved, and it took him a while to calm himself down.

When Yu Wen heard this, he was shocked.

He chuckled a few times and said in a smooth talk, "Isn't this unexpected? How can the Gu family cancel the engagement just like that for such a small matter?"

Pei Yan finally understood why Miss Yu dared to be so presumptuous.

Looking at Yu Yuan again, he had half of his body blocking Yu Tang, as if he was afraid that she would suffer a loss.

Pei Yan laughed in anger and said, "If Gu Chang wants to investigate this matter, what are you going to do?"

Probably not, right?

She let the Gu family discover Li Duan’s true identity in advance!

But it's hard to say.

Some people are willing to give up everything just to save face.

Yu Tang hesitated and asked, "Didn't they say that Master Gu cares most about his sister?"

Are you using his words to attack him?

Pei Yan's forehead was bulging with veins: "Miss Gu's father is still alive?"

So what?

Yu Tang said: "If he doesn't even have this ability, why would he protect Miss Gu?"

In his previous life, Gu Chang had already demonstrated his strength.

But Pei Yan didn't know that Yu Tang had a past life experience. He only thought that Miss Yu was very good at getting into trouble, but she had no ability to clean up the mess.

He looked at Yu Tang's slightly pouting face that looked somewhat willful and ignorant, and felt overwhelmed. He felt that even if he taught her now, "Don't get involved if you can't clean up the mess," she probably wouldn't listen, and her father and brother wouldn't be alert either. So what was the point of him teaching her a lesson?

Pei Yan waved his hand wearily and said, "I'll talk about it when I meet Gu Chaoyang tomorrow."

Yu Wen was naturally very embarrassed. Seeing this, he immediately stood up and said, "Then we will go back first. We will visit you again tomorrow."

Pei Yan wanted them not to come, but he didn't know what Gu Chang was going to do, so he might as well ask Yu Tang. He managed to suppress his irritation and said weakly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

When Yu Wen heard this, he took his daughter and nephew and ran away.

After leaving the gate of Pei Mansion, he couldn't help complaining to his daughter: "Why didn't you inform me in advance before doing such a thing? I wouldn't be speechless in front of the Third Elder just now!"
