Wow, Gu Qin’s words really sounded so righteous and logical, not only dissing Gu’s father and Mrs. Gu but also flattering herself; Gu Yan had truly seen it all.
She chuckled coldly, "Gu Qin, what you said is really funny. First, no matter if Tang Yuxiu intentionally keeps my spot or not, even if he does, and I don’t go, that spot is null and void. For what reason should I give it to you? Secondly, don’t even mention that my relationship with Tang Yuxiu is a secret; even if it were public, how could you go to that banquet if I’m not there? What would you represent as a guest without the host? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughing stock? So Gu Qin, if you want to attend the banquet, find your own way in. I have no obligation to take you in."
Gu Qin’s face turned green from Gu Yan’s words, "Gu Yan, eventually we are family, how can you be so insensitive."
Family with you? No way!
Gu Yan looked at her mockingly, "First, we have no blood ties. Secondly, have you ever treated me as family? It seems like we’ve never even been that close. Thirdly, I have nothing to do with your Gu Family now except for my dad. To me, you are just strangers."
"Gu Yan, how can you say that, Gu Family has raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay us with ingratitude!"
"Don’t make me laugh. The Gu Family either beat or enslaved me. I started to work and earn money by myself to study and live from high school onwards. I didn’t even go to college after graduation; I worked to support the family for a full seven years. Compared to the six years of life under Gu Family where I couldn’t eat or dress properly, I’ve already overpaid my dues severely. If I were ungrateful, how could I give you opportunities to manipulate me to pave your way?"
Gu Yan mercilessly dismantled Gu Qin, truly fed up with them always accusing her of being ungrateful and heartless. She had long settled her accounts with the Gu Family, yet they kept holding on and unreasonably demanded that she had to help them achieve something.
Who gave them the nerve to be so brazenly demanding?
Listening to Gu Yan’s words, Gu Qin didn’t feel a trace of shame and instead grew more anxious, "I don’t care, Gu Yan. You have to give the banquet spot to me, or I’ll tell Tang Yuxiu you are a faithless, heartless woman. Let’s see if he’d still want someone like you."
Gu Yan was simply speechless. It’s the first time she’d seen someone so outrageous; how could she not have noticed before?
It’s all because this green-tea bitch was so good at acting. Her own pure and flawless self couldn’t see through her defenses.
"Say whatever you want. If he believes you, there’s nothing I can do. The key is whether you even have a chance to meet him."
Gu Yan’s words were not meant to mock her, but were just the truth.
Tang Yuxiu is busy with work every day, and his status is so high. It’s not like just anyone can see him whenever they want; he’d be exhausted.
Gu Qin finally couldn’t maintain her calm facade, staring furiously at Gu Yan, "You really won’t give me a chance?"
"Opportunities are self-made. Instead of scheming and plotting, you’d do better to earn an invitation with your own abilities."
Some people refuse to accept mediocrity and will go to any lengths to try to leap to success.
However, there is nothing in this world that can be gained without effort. If you want it, you have to work for it. Dreaming of getting everything without doing anything is less practical than going home and dreaming during a lazy nap.
Gu Qin couldn’t hear any of Gu Yan’s words, glaring hard at her, "Just you wait!"
Then she stormed off in a huff.
