Being threatened publicly, Lu Banian felt a wave of displeasure surging in his heart.
Truly, like father, like daughter.
Gu Jinyue and Mr. Gu shared the same traits and characteristics.
The Universe Stabilizer was indeed precious, but attempting to use it as a means of intimidation was simply laughable!
“A true gentleman keeps his word. Instead of threatening me, Mr. Gu, you should focus on raising your own daughter properly.”
Gu Zhixin was infuriated and staggered backward.
He pointed at Lu Banian angrily. “Very well! You brat, you have guts! Don’t blame me for being heartless in the future!”
…..
He then turned to Liu Meng. “Mr. Liu, is this how you show your gratitude for the kindness our family has extended to you? You have enjoyed our hospitality, partaken in our meals and wine, only to display such ingratitude.”
“Ingratitude? Mr. Gu seems to have gotten it backwards, don’t you think?” Liu Meng looked at him in astonishment. “With your son’s hand disabled and your daughter’s face disfigured, if it weren’t for my intervention in treating them, would they have recovered so quickly? As for staying at the Gu residence,
wasn’t it you who claimed that the medical fees were too high and needed more time to gather the funds, asking me to stay a little longer in your noble house?”
Gu Zhixin choked on his words.
Liu Meng was right.
The medical fees were indeed substantial, but their family could afford them.
He deliberately made those remarks to keep Liu Meng around.
So, Liu Meng eating and staying at the Gu residence was nobody’s fault but their own.
The astute individuals present had probably guessed the whole story upon hearing Liu Meng’s words.
Deep down, they silently cursed—
The Gu family has no shame!
They displayed utter shamelessness, flaunting their association with Mr. Liu and Not Returning Island in front of everyone.
Some disgruntled individuals sneered and mocked, “So that’s how it is! The Gu family boasts about their connection with the Island of No Return, but it turns out they owe money and refuse to repay!” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Even if Mr. Liu demands an exorbitant medical fee, could it exceed the wealth of the richest man? Let’s not forget, the Gu family once seized the fortune of the Jun family, the richest family in the city! From what I see, it’s not that they can’t gather the money, but rather a deliberate act of withholding payment to keep people around.”
“That’s truly shameless, boasting to the world about their affiliation with the Island of No Return.”
“Indeed, when it comes to shamelessness, the Gu family undoubtedly claims the top spot.”
Those who cultivated their senses had a keen hearing, making it impossible to miss these piercing remarks.
Gu Zhixin’s face turned red with embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhicheng, implicated by association, also felt incredibly uncomfortable.
He never expected that his younger brother would resort to such means to keep important guests at home!
“Look at what you’ve done!” He glared at Gu Zhixin with resentment and hurriedly walked away.
Gu Zhixin shot a stern look at the crowd and turned to chase after his elder brother. “Wait for me, Elder Brother!”
The Gu family’s carriage disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
After they left, most of the other guests also started to depart.
The remaining people approached Liu Meng to engage in conversation.
Noticing Liu Meng’s good relationship with Gu Qingluan, they took the opportunity to praise Gu Qingluan.
Liu Meng’s smile deepened. “Indeed, Miss Gu is truly exceptional.”
He felt even happier to praise Gu Qingluan than to receive compliments himself.
Everyone observed this and became even more astonished.
They hadn’t expected that not only did Miss Gu have a close relationship with Lu Banian, but she also had a unique connection with Mr. Liu.
From now on, they couldn’t afford to underestimate or neglect Gu Qingluan!
Quietly, the attitudes of half the people in Tianjing City towards Gu Qingluan underwent a significant shift.
After chatting for a while, seeing Gu Qingluan and Liu Meng maintaining a distant attitude, everyone tactfully bid their farewells and left.
Before departing, they even extended invitations for Gu Qingluan and Liu Meng to visit their homes when they had the chance.
Once everyone had left, only Gu Qingluan, Feng Yuanxi, Liu Meng, and Lu Banian remained at the entrance.
Lu Banian couldn’t help but express his concern. “With the Universe Stabilizer in the possession of the Gu family, it is likely that they will pose a threat to you, Miss Gu, once they produce a Saint in the future. Since you and Liu Meng are acquainted, how did the Universe Stabilizer end up benefiting the Gu family?”
Gu Qingluan chuckled at his amusement. “Do you think the Gu family obtained a precious treasure?”
Lu Banian froze. “So, are you suggesting that the Universe Stabilizer is counterfeit? That’s highly unlikely.. Our auction house’s appraiser has confirmed without a doubt that it is indeed the genuine Universe Stabilizer!”
