Chapter 69: Uncontrollably Telling the Truth
"You...!" Gu Yanran was so angry that she stood up straight and subconsciously raised her hand to hit her on the mouth.
Li Yanjing's eyes flashed, and he quickly stepped forward, pushing her away with both hands, and shouted, "Don't touch my mother!"
Gu Yanran was caught off guard and was pushed by him, staggering back two steps. Her feet tilted and she fell to the ground.
She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she looked at him with fierce eyes. Now even a little bastard dared to bully her!
Gu Yanran was about to stand up and teach him a lesson when she suddenly heard Jiang Ruyun's puzzled voice, "What are you doing?"
Gu Yanran paused, an idea suddenly occurred to her head, and she just sat on the ground without moving. She turned her head to look at Jiang Ruyun who was walking towards her, biting her lip, without saying a word, looking quite aggrieved.
Jiang Ruyun walked up to her and stopped, then squatted down and helped her up from the ground. "What's wrong, Yanran? Why did you fall to the ground?"
Gu Yanran glanced at Li Yanjing who was blocking Li Zhi and took the initiative. "I just saw a mosquito on your shoulder and wanted to reach out to swat it away, but I didn't expect Yanjing to suddenly rush forward and push me to the ground."
She paused and continued, "I don't know what I did to make Yan Jing hate me so much..."
Jiang Ruyun didn't just listen to her one-sided words. She turned to look at Li Yanjing and asked, "Yanjing, what's going on? Why did you push your Aunt Yanran?"
"Grandma, I pushed her away because I saw her reaching out to hit mom." Li Yanjing replied.
Gu Yanran's eyes flickered. "You must have seen it wrong. I didn't mean to hit my sister. I just said that. I just saw a mosquito on her shoulder, so I reached out my hand. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me like this."
Li Zhi, who had been silent the whole time, reached out and pulled Li Yanjing, who was blocking her way, aside. His eyes fell on Gu Yanran and he said slowly, "Sister Yanran, do you really want to hit the mosquito on my shoulder or do you want to hit me?"
"Of course I want to hit you in the mouth." Gu Yanran blurted out.
After she finished speaking, her pupils suddenly contracted and her expression showed a hint of surprise. This was clearly not what she wanted to say!
What's going on? Why did I tell the truth?!
Jiang Ruyun frowned, not understanding what she was doing. Her words were intermittent, and her voice became serious. "Yanran, what's going on? Do you really want to hit Zhizhi?"
Before Gu Yanran could react to what had just happened, she blurted out again, "Yeah, I just can't stand Li Zhi's talkative mouth and want to teach her a lesson!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth and opened her eyes involuntarily.
Why is my mouth out of control?!
There was disbelief in Jiang Ruyun's eyes. Is this still the kind and gentle adopted daughter she remembered?
Gu Yanran met her eyes, her expression full of panic. She quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, defending herself, "Mom, please listen to my explanation. I don't know what happened just now. It was like I was possessed. It was as if someone was controlling my brain and forcing me to say those words. They were all fake!"
Jiang Ruyun didn't expect her to use such a lame excuse to fool her. She pulled her hand away and said in a deep voice, "There are only a few of us here. Besides, your brain is your own. Who can control your brain?"
"I..." Gu Yanran's face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment.
"Mom, don't blame sister Yanran. I said some unpleasant words, which made sister so angry that she wanted to hit me." Li Zhi suddenly spoke again.
Jiang Ruyun turned to look at her, her expression softening a bit, "Then no matter what, she can't even think of hitting anyone."
Although Li Yanjing didn't know why Gu Yanran suddenly went crazy and told the truth to others, he guessed that it must be Li Zhi who did something.
He listened to what Li Zhi had just said, his eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to hold Jiang Ruyun's hand, which was hanging by her side, and said, "Grandma, it was Aunt Yanran who said something unpleasant to Mom first. She said that the Xie family would not marry a slut..."
Gu Yanran's temples were throbbing, and she wanted to tear his mouth apart. "You're talking nonsense, I never said anything like that!"
Jiang Ruyun's face was terribly gloomy, and disappointment was thick in her eyes. "Gu Yanran, I really raised you in vain. So this is how you think of Zhizhi in private. You can even say such a word as slut. Where is your upbringing?!"
Gu Yanran's breathing stagnated. She pinched her fingertips tightly, her lips turned pale, and she said with a stiff upper lip, "Mom, he's lying!"
Jiang Ruyun's eyes were filled with disappointment, and she said coldly, "That's enough. He's only a five-year-old child. Not only do you not know your own fault, but you also want to accuse a child of lying?"
Gu Yanran's throat tightened, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but inexplicably no sound came out.
Li Zhi looked at her, the teasing in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and she said at the right time: "Mom, calm down. Sister Yanran is still young and has spoken without restraint. Let's just let this matter go today."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was too kind and sensible. Not only did she not care about the person who insulted her, she also spoke up for him.
"Zhizhi, please stop speaking for her. She's already in her twenties and still young. I spoiled her too much in the past."
Jiang Ruyun's gaze fell on Gu Yanran again. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said sternly, "Go and apologize to Zhizhi."
Gu Yanran didn't dare to argue anymore and could only give in and do what she said.
She lowered her head, suppressed the emotion in her eyes, and apologized to Li Zhi with a seemingly sincere attitude, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I just said such harsh words without thinking too much."
Li Zhi smiled slightly, "It's okay, Sister Yanran. As an older sister, I naturally won't bother with my younger sister. Just be careful next time."
Gu Yanran pinched her palms and said, "Thank you, sister, for forgiving me."
"Zhizhi forgiving you is one thing," Jiang Ruyun added, "from today on, you must stay home and reflect on your mistakes. Don't go anywhere without my permission."
Gu Yanran swayed slightly. Knowing that she was angry, she naturally did not dare to refute her, fearing that if she said anything more, she would be kicked out of the Gu family. She nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I will reflect on it carefully."
Jiang Ruyun nodded, retracted her gaze, walked behind Li Zhi, put her hands on the pushing handle, called Li Yanjing, and then pushed the wheelchair and left with the mother and son.
Gu Yanran raised her head and looked at the backs of the three people leaving, her eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger. She never expected this to happen.
Originally, Jiang Ruyun was her biggest support in the Gu family, but now that this happened, her weight in her heart has obviously dropped a lot. It's really terrible.
It seems that she has to find a way to consolidate her position in Jiang Ruyun's heart during this period of time.
However, what Gu Yanran couldn't understand the most was what was going on with her at that time, and why she couldn't control herself and blurted out the truth.
However, she stood there thinking for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and finally blamed herself for being possessed by evil spirits.
