Hearing An Mingzhu's words, Xie Jinya instantly came to her senses and murmured to herself, "Yes, yes, I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't do anything wrong..."
The people in the audience knew nothing, yet they talked about her, making all sorts of sarcastic and derogatory remarks about her.
What do they know? They know absolutely nothing!
Xie Jinya turned to the crowd and hurriedly spoke up to defend herself, saying, "You have no idea why we gave up on this girl. What good are her grades? Do you know who she offended? She offended Third Master Gu!"
After Xie Jinya finished speaking, the people in the audience fell silent.
The entire venue was quiet. Almost everyone was staring in Xie Jinya's direction, reflexively holding their breath and not daring to even breathe loudly.
Xie Jinya thought that her words had worked, and she calmed down a little.
However, that's not enough.
That alone is not enough.
Since they want to sever ties with Lin Chuxia, they definitely need a reason. If the reason isn't sufficient, the An family will continue to be criticized, gossiped about, and even despised.
An Guosheng seemed to have thought of this as well, and said in a somewhat sorrowful voice, "We are severing ties with Lin Chuxia not because of anything else, but because... her character is just too wicked."
Xie Jinya said emphatically, "That's right! This girl not only disobeys her parents and harms her siblings, but she is also vain and would even sell herself for money, secretly hanging out with several old men."
An Guosheng's expression was sorrowful, and his voice was filled with grief: "We tried to guide her back to the right path, but as everyone knows, this child didn't grow up in our An family for the previous nineteen years of her life. Her mother and I simply couldn't discipline her, so... out of desperation, we had no choice but to resort to this tactic. Originally, we wanted to force her to change her ways, but we never expected..."
Below the stage, Old Master An sat quietly, his expression numb, yet his heart was surprisingly calm as he watched his son and daughter-in-law court death step by step.
Xie Jinya and An Guosheng pretended that they were heartbroken by Lin Chuxia, which was why they had no choice but to give up on her.
After they finished speaking, they silently wiped away their tears, while secretly glancing at everyone out of the corner of their eyes.
Seeing that everyone below was stunned by their words, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As they looked up, intending to add more fuel to the fire, they discovered that everyone's gaze wasn't on them, but rather on the direction behind them...
An Guosheng and Xie Jinya instantly felt a bad premonition. They turned around stiffly, their necks mechanically turning backward... Then, Gu Yuheng's extremely distinctive expressionless face suddenly entered their field of vision.
"Master Gu... Master Gu... Master Gu?" An Guosheng was so frightened that he could barely speak.
When exactly did Master Gu arrive? How come they didn't receive any news at all?
Good heavens, did he just say something he shouldn't have? He shouldn't have offended this big shot, right?
Xie Jinya, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Gu Yuheng just stared at them, his eyes lowered, without saying a word.
After a long pause, he finally managed a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth—
"Ha! When did my little girl start messing around with other men? How come I didn't know?"
