Chapter 295 Breaking off the relationship

Gu Zhiyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, "Mianmian, I... this..."

"You know." Gu Mian looked at him and guessed it. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Gu Xing hurriedly pinched Wang Shulan's arm and secretly winked at her.

Wang Shulan pretended to be shocked. "What? Gu Mian, you are not Gu's biological child? How is this possible! Old Gu, what's going on?"

"Mianmian, you are indeed not the Gu family's biological child..." Gu Zhiyuan hung his head, not daring to look directly into Gu Mian's eyes, "When my parents brought you back home, you were probably only a few months old."

"My sister and brother-in-law have never had children, and my parents originally wanted you to be their daughter."

"But I didn't expect that they would both die in a car accident before you turned one year old."

"My brother-in-law's parents insisted that you had killed their son and refused to continue raising you, so my parents took you home, changed your surname to Gu, and raised you until you grew up."

Gu Mian's nose was sour. "Since you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Gu Zhiyuan lowered his head even lower, "I...I..."

"Gu Mian, you can't blame your uncle." Wang Shulan said, "I guess your uncle must be afraid that you would be sad after knowing that you were abandoned, so he didn't dare to tell you."

"How could my aunt not know that I was adopted?" Gu Mian smiled, "If I guessed correctly, I married into the Li family and became a wealthy wife. My aunt was afraid that after I knew my background, I would ignore the Gu family and no longer be able to bring benefits to you, so she stopped my uncle from telling me, right?"

Wang Shulan's eyes flashed with guilt, and she raised her voice to deny, "Gu Mian, what nonsense are you talking about! The Gu family raised you just to let you make malicious assumptions about your elders, right?"

"Whether it is speculation or not, you know it very well." Gu Mian pulled the corner of his lips helplessly, "In fact, even if you tell me the truth, I will not forget the kindness of the Gu family in raising me, and I will never ignore you."

Gu Xing sneered, "If your original family is not as good as the Gu family, of course you would be willing to be a member of the Gu family."

"But now you are the daughter of the Ye family, are you still willing to be a commoner?"

"What?" Wang Shulan was stunned. "Gu Mian is the daughter of the Ye family? Wake up, are you telling the truth?"

“Absolutely.”

Gu Zhiyuan also raised his head in shock, "Mianmian, you found your biological parents? That's great! Your uncle can finally let go..."

"That's great!" Wang Shulan said excitedly, "Gu Mian, you are the daughter of the Ye family. In the future, you and your cousin will be able to take care of each other in the Ye family."

Gu Mian frowned, "Gu Xingzhi is a mistress, but instead of educating her properly, her aunt supports her to become the mistress?"

Wang Shulan was choked by this and quickly said, "Xingxing is pregnant now. The child is innocent and must be born."

"Once the child is born, he or she will of course need to grow up in a normal family, and Xingxing will of course marry the child's father."

Gu Mian sneered, "The Gu family doesn't have such shameless genes."

"What do you mean?" Wang Shulan's expression suddenly changed. "The Gu family doesn't have this gene, so my Wang family does?"

"Since my aunt thinks so, then it must be your genes."

"You..." Wang Shulan was so angry, "How dare you be so shameless to me?"

"It's not about being shady, it's about being frank." Gu Mian said seriously, "Grandpa and grandma are gone, but the family tradition of the Gu family must be there."

"People who work for the Gu family should never do such indecent things."

"Gu Mian, you are not a member of the Gu family, so how can you establish our family tradition?" Wang Shulan was furious, and suddenly she thought of something, "Gu Mian, you have now recognized your ancestors and become the daughter of the Ye family. You are not worried that Xingxing will give birth to this child and compete with you for the family property, so you are targeting her, right?"

Gu Mian: "......"

It's outrageous that his mother opened the door for something outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Seeing that Gu Mian didn't say anything, Wang Shulan thought she had guessed correctly and immediately accused him, "Gu Mian, you ungrateful bastard, can you be any more selfish!"

"We, the Gu family, worked so hard to raise you, but you don't know how to be grateful at all!"

"Don't you think about it? If there was no Gu family, could you marry Li Tingshen and become his wife? If there was no Gu family, could you become Mr. Lu Lang's apprentice and become famous?"

"I am where I am today, of course, because of my grandparents' good education. It is because I have not forgotten the teachings of the Gu family that I cannot accept what Gu Xing did." Gu Mian's face was cold. "The Gu family can be poor, but they cannot do such dirty and shameless things."

"Aunt, bring Gu Xing back to China and teach her to mend her ways. I will naturally not ignore you."

"Otherwise, I will have Ting Shen take back all the storefronts I gave you and stop paying you every month."

Wang Shulan immediately said, "You want to take back what you gave me? Gu Mian, you are crazy!"

"You are the mad one." Gu Mian said coldly, "You are always snobbish and bully my uncle, but I didn't say anything. After all, he is the one living with you, not me."

"But Gu Xing became a mistress and had an illegitimate child, which ruined the reputation of the Gu family and my grandparents. I had to intervene."

"you......"

Just as Wang Shulan was about to have a fit, she was stopped by Gu Xing.

"Mom, since my sister is so short of money, let's give it back to her!"

"Wake up, are you crazy?" Wang Shulan hurriedly reminded, "Do you know how much those storefronts that Li Tingshen gave us are worth!"

Gu Xing lowered his voice and said, "I just told you to think big, why are you being petty again?"

"What Li Tingshen gave us is nothing. When I marry into the Ye family, you will get more than ten times as much. Why don't you do the math?"

Wang Shulan hesitated, "But these storefronts that Li Tingshen gave us are all very valuable. The rent alone is enough for us to live on in our old age."

"Mom, what's wrong with you? You don't understand what I'm saying?" Gu Xing said impatiently, "You are so narrow-minded, you are destined to be poor for the rest of your life! Do you want to collect rent and support yourself in the capital, or follow me and become a rich man?"

"Of course I'll follow you." Seeing Gu Xing's confidence, Wang Shulan immediately made up her mind, "Xingxing, you are my most important sweetheart. I will listen to you."

Wang Shulan looked at Gu Mian and said disdainfully, "I'll give it back to you! I don't even want it! You ungrateful bastard!"

Gu Mian curled his lips and looked at Gu Zhiyuan, "Uncle, do you think so too? Do you want Gu Xing to marry into the Ye family so that she can benefit from his influence?"

"Mianmian, stop talking. Your uncle is ashamed of not educating his daughter well..." Gu Zhiyuan stood up and looked at his wife and daughter. "You two should come back to China right now. Gu Xing should completely sever ties with that man!"

"Why are you so fierce!" Wang Shulan stood up and glared at him fiercely, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because Gu Mian is there to support you! You idiot! If you were incompetent and couldn't make a lot of money, would your daughter have to find a way out on her own?"

"She found a way out by being a mistress to a man! How can I save my reputation if this gets out? The reputation of the Gu family has been completely ruined by her!"

"Is your reputation more important, or is my daughter's happiness more important?" Wang Shulan's voice was shrill and piercing. "You are aloof, but can being aloof be a living?"

"Don't forget, you only have one daughter, and you will have to rely on her to support you in your old age!"

"If you don't side with her now, she won't care about you in the future. When you die, there won't even be anyone to see you off!"
