Chapter 51: Just Charity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ruan Chu looked at the smug Ruan Yan and Cao Junning, who could not be bothered to even look at her, and her nails dug into her flesh.
At this moment, Gu Yang chuckled and said to Ruan Yan, “Cousin Ruan Yan is really free. Why? Hasn’t Grandpa called you to go back yet?”
Logically speaking, Mrs. Liu should have admitted Ruan Yan’s involvement by now.
Ruan Yan’s pupils constricted, but she quickly returned to normal. “I don’t understand what Cousin is talking about.”
She had specially gotten a hacker to delete the surveillance footage of Mrs. Liu tampering with the Tibetan Mastiff, so it would definitely not be traced to Mrs. Liu. Naturally, it would not be traced to her.
Without evidence, so what if Gu Yang suspected her?
Just then, Ruan Yan’s phone rang in her bag. She opened it and realized that it was Old Master Ruan.
Hearing the old man’s angry voice on the other end of the phone, Ruan Yan’s expression changed, and her gaze toward Gu Yang turned cold.
Cao Junning realized that something was wrong, so he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ruan Yan’s expression was ugly. “Grandpa asked me to go back to the old residence now.”
When Ruan Yan turned around to leave, Gu Yang added, “I wish Cousin Ruan Yan a happy engagement in advance. However, Cousin Ruan Yan used to be an illegitimate daughter. You probably don’t know this since you didn’t grow up in the family. It’s fine if Cousin Ruan Chu enters the entertainment industry and plays with pretty boys, but it’s impossible for her to marry one.”
Ruan Yan stopped in her tracks and tightened her grip on her bag.
What she hated the most was being called an illegitimate daughter. Moreover, Gu Yang even hinted that she was short-sighted and ignorant. Every word pierced her heart!
Of course, she could not really get engaged to a small celebrity like Cao Junning. She was just trying to provoke Ruan Chu.
Cao Junning’s expression instantly turned sinister. He hated being called a pretty boy the most. “Cousin, you have to watch your words…”
Gu Yang interrupted her. “My cousin isn’t in the country, so Ruan Chu is my only other cousin.”
Who was he calling cousin?
Cao Junning didn’t expect Gu Yang to be so disrespectful to him. It made him look bad.
“Cousin, don’t you think so?” Gu Yang blinked at Ruan Chu.
Ruan Chu looked into those clear eyes and felt that the anger that was about to burn her rationality had been extinguished. She calmed down and nodded.
“Yangyang is right.”
Although celebrities were glamorous, in fact, many people in the wealthy circle did not think highly of them. They even called them worthless actors in disdain.
Many people dated celebrities and joined the entertainment industry for fun, but when it was time to get engaged and marry, they would still choose the daughters and young masters of wealthy families.
It was just that in the past, she loved Cao Junning and did not care about these prejudices against him.
Cao Junning looked at Ruan Chu in disbelief. He did not expect her to think so too.
He was even angrier in his heart and sneered. “As expected, Ruan Chu, you say that you love me, but in reality, you’re looking down on me! Your kindness toward me is just charity!”
Ruan Chu felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.
It was not until the two of them left that two streams of tears rolled down Ruan Chu’s face.
“Isn’t it funny? I actually fell in love with such a thing in the past?” Ruan Chu’s lips twitched as she smiled bitterly.
Gu Yang got the driver to put the things she bought in the trunk and followed her silently.
Ruan Chu walked along the noisy street. “You’re also very puzzled as to why I like that scum, right?”
Gu Yang was indeed quite puzzled.
With Ruan Chu’s qualifications, if she was obsessed with looks, she could choose award-winning actors! She should not have fallen in love with a B-list young hunk..
