113 Bai Ling, This Troublemaker

Xiang Li asked Bai Ling to open the video of Gu Man saving someone. After watching it carefully, she muttered, “This is Gu Man?”

She was such a weak but bold girl.

“Miss Gu Man is the kindest. Last time, she saved a little boy who fell into the Cang River…” Bai Ling talked non-stop about Gu Man.

“But…” Xiang Li’s thoughts seemed to be in a mess.

Gu Rou’s words were still deeply imprinted in her mind. “She comes home in the middle of the night and talks back to her parents. She’s arrogant, stubborn…”

“But as the elder sister, how could Gu Rou stir up trouble for her younger sister before she figured out the situation? That’s not possible, right?” Xiang Li still could not believe it.

“Gu Rou is not Gu Man’s biological sister. Gu Man, the real daughter of the Gu family, has been raised in the countryside for more than ten years. The Gu family did not care about her and only brought her back a few months ago. They even said that she was their adopted daughter. This information can explain the question you asked.” Xiang Yin’s voice was cold.

This was the second time he had said this. The previous time, the teacher had also misunderstood Gu Man because of Gu Rou’s words. This time, his sister too. How many people who did not know the truth were deceived by Gu Rou’s words?

Xiang Yin’s eyes turned cold. Gu Rou was too terrifying!

Xiang Li was already dumbfounded. Today, she heard Mrs. Zhang praising the Gu family and she also praised Gu Rou from the bottom of her heart. She did not expect that she would make a mistake in judging a person.

This Gu Rou looked like she was well-educated and reasonable. So she was hiding so deeply. It seemed like she would have to tell Mrs. Zhang next time.

“Looks like I’m really old. My eyes are already slow. I actually can’t tell.” Xiang Li sighed.

“Mom, it’s not that you don’t know how to differentiate. You don’t believe your smartest and most handsome son. You thought I would be so muddle-headed as to date a high school student. It hurts my heart.” Bai Yun pretended to be hurt and sighed.

Xiang Li looked at Bai Yun’s comical appearance and immediately laughed. “It’s all because you don’t look serious usually.”

“So, Mom, you think that Miss Gu Man and Brother are dating? Ha! You have the same thoughts as me.” Bai Ling clapped her hands, proud of her discovery.

Xiang Li nodded Bai Ling’s little head and said angrily, “You sly elf, how am I the same as you?”

“At first, I thought that Miss Gu Man was Brother’s girlfriend, but I later realized that it was Second Uncle…” Before Bai Ling could finish speaking, Bai Yun’s throat was about to break from coughing.

Xiang Yin’s cold eyes almost froze Bai Ling. Bai Ling’s mouth was still open, but she couldn’t say a word.

She was already screaming in her heart. Oh no, I’m in trouble. My life is in danger!

“So it’s your Second Uncle’s what?” Xiang Li asked when she saw that Bai Ling suddenly stopped talking.

When she saw the expressions of the three of them, Xiang Li was sure that there was something fishy going on, so she shouted softly at Bai Ling, “Bai Ling, finish speaking.”

Xiang Li’s fiery question finally thawed Bai Ling out of the icehouse, but she did not have the courage to continue. She patted her nightdress and pretended not to hear anything. As she walked, she muttered, “Aiya, it’s so late. I’m going to sleep.”

Then, with a “Goodnight,” the door was slammed shut.

Bai Ling was still in shock outside the door. She held her chest and took a deep breath. It had been too close just now. She had almost been dismembered by her second uncle’s cold gaze. Fortunately, she was smart and found an excuse to run out.

Bai Ling thought fearfully, If Second Uncle is around next time, I’d better not get close. I’m not afraid of the sky falling. I’m just afraid of being targeted by Second Uncle.

Inside the house, the three of them watched with different expressions as Bai Ling fled.

Bai Yun: Little girl, aren’t you just telling Mom that there’s something else going on? You’re so stupid.

Bai Yun’s guess was right. At this moment, Xiang Li’s probing eyes were already on Xiang Yin. She thought about what Bai Ling had said just now. Could it be that there was something between Xiang Yin and Gu Man?

Seeing Xiang Li’s probing gaze, Xiang Yin pinched the space between his eyebrows helplessly. Bai Ling, this troublemaker!
