"You might not have interfered, but did other members of your family not interfere?"
"At the birthday party, someone cut Yueyue’s dress and someone drugged Yueyue. I don’t know what your older brother said to Yueyue, but in the end, she got away with everything."
"If Yueyue weren’t so capable, she would have been the one in trouble that night."
"All the Gu Family ever does is protect her blindly. Is that fair to Yueyue? Aren’t you afraid that Yueyue will feel disheartened?"
Ling Piaomu had been good friends with Gu Xiyue for seven or eight years, having long regarded Gu Xiyue as family. Hearing Gu Yuluo’s words, she instantly became unhappy.
She knew all too well what kind of person Gu Zhiqi was.
She had also seen firsthand how the Gu Family protected Gu Zhiqi.
Listening to Ling Piaomu’s words, Gu Yuluo’s brows furrowed slightly. Considering she was after all Gu Xiyue’s friend, she patiently continued, "My older brother did have some words with Yueyue, but if Yueyue had been unwilling, do you think my brother could have protected Gu Zhiqi?"
"You are friends with Yueyue, don’t you understand her character? Who could persuade her to do something she doesn’t want to?"
"I know you’re concerned about Yueyue, but please ensure when you are concerned about her that this is indeed what Yueyue wishes for."
"Based on your own guesses, you’re making decisions on Yueyue’s behalf about things she hasn’t even considered. Is that what you call fairness?"
As soon as Gu Yuluo finished speaking, Ling Piaomu fell silent.
Seeing this, Gu Yuluo had no intention of stopping. She continued, "Remember what Jiang Qi did to that girl? What happened in the end? Didn’t Yueyue have to clean up his mess, putting her in a difficult position?"
"If Gu Zhiqi had really been killed by Jiang Qi that day, do you know what the consequences would be?"
"The consequences would be that he would die miserably."
"Even if I didn’t take action, there would be plenty of people seeking revenge for her."
Gu Yuluo’s words were not wrong. There would be many people waiting for Qiqi’s return. If Gu Zhiqi really had an accident, those people would not stand idly by.
Besides, if Qiqi died, the Gu Family would definitely take action. Regardless of whether she would kill Jiang Qi or not, Gu Huaijin would certainly make a move to kill him.
Jiang Qi couldn’t even beat her, let alone getting squashed by Gu Huaijin, which would be just a matter of lifting a finger.
"So just because there are so many people protecting her, you’ll let her keep causing trouble for Yueyue?" Ling Piaomu still argued, though her tone had softened a great deal.
Listening to what Gu Yuluo had just said, it truly seemed inappropriate for them to get involved.
But she really couldn’t stand watching that woman bounce around in front of Yueyue every day.
"That was in the past, it won’t happen in the future," Gu Yuluo said on the subject, adding no more than this one sentence.
To this day, she herself still hadn’t fully understood what exactly was going on with Gu Zhiqi.
Although she verbally claimed that Gu Zhiqi’s drastic change in temperament was due to amnesia, she clearly knew that Gu Zhiqi from the past two years wasn’t the real Qiqi.
She vaguely had a guess in her heart, but had yet to confirm it.
Since Ling Piaomu didn’t say anything more, Gu Yuluo continued, "I also know that you cherish Yueyue, and we do too. But our family situation is unique and not suitable for your intervention."
"However, I must say this one more time. Regarding Yueyue and Qiqi’s matters, unless Yueyue personally asks for your help, please don’t take action on your own."
This would only cause the relationship between the two girls to become more strained.
Having said that, Gu Yuluo added very sincerely, "There might have been some harshness in my words, and for that, I apologize here. But these are things that needed to be said. If you weren’t Yueyue’s friends, I wouldn’t have bothered saying so much."
