Chapter 77: How Can You Be So Shameless?

Gu Zhenzhi actually dared to act arrogant in front of him? Let’s see how he explains himself to the Gu family when he gets home! Gu Jiayan was full of confidence; he was absolutely certain that Gu Zhenzhi didn’t have the guts to go against the Gu family.

His gaze was provocative as he looked at Ruan Cha in Gu Zhenzhi’s arms, his eyes filled with nothing but disdain.

Ruan Cha’s expression gradually turned cold. She slipped out of Gu Zhenzhi’s embrace and quietly stood by his side.

“When we were kids, you insisted on fighting us for milk, and in the end, you were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I only remembered that because you just brought it up,” Gu Jiayan said.

Listening to Gu Jiayan, Ruan Cha recalled what was written in the book: Gu Jiayan knew full well that Gu Zhenzhi was allergic to milk, yet he had people pin him down and force milk down his throat, sending him to the hospital...

Breathe...

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry!

Ruan Cha restrained her temper.

But the next second, the anger she couldn’t contain burst forth—

“Gu Jiayan, you’re almost an adult; if you’re going to make things up, at least show a bit of skill, will you? He’s allergic to milk, and you’re saying he fought you for it? Can you at least think before you try to fool your audience? How did I never notice before just how shameless you are?”

Gu Jiayan tried to use the Gu family to pressure Gu Zhenzhi.

But she was not afraid of the Gu family.

Gu Jiayan’s face instantly darkened and turned vicious. His gaze was icy as he stared at Ruan Cha, malice flickering in his eyes.

“You dare call me shameless?”

Ruan Cha gave a mock gasp. “No, no, I didn’t say you’re shameless. What I meant was, shameless people are just like you.”

“You—” Gu Jiayan was so furious he pointed right at Ruan Cha’s nose.

“Don’t point at me. When it comes to scheming, I can’t compare to you; when it comes to cruelty, I’m even less your match. You’re the kind of person who would harm your own brother, and you rely on the Gu family to oppress Gu Zhenzhi. The thing I despise most in my life is men like you—no real ability, just arrogance thanks to your family name!”

Ruan Cha planted her hands on her hips, brimming with aggression. At this point, she paused, “Oh, but you’re not entirely useless. Good grades? Top of the year? Maybe not after the next exam.”

She lowered her voice, just out of Gu Zhenzhi’s earshot, and said gravely, “Don’t forget what you did—forcing him to drink milk and sending him to the hospital.”

At that, Gu Jiayan was completely stunned.

He lowered his gaze, the girl’s cold stare making him feel as if needles were pricking his back.

How did she know?

Did Gu Zhenzhi tell her?

Impossible! With Gu Zhenzhi’s personality, how could he...

“Now, either apologize, or wait for me to expose your dirty deeds. Your choice.”

Ruan Cha’s silent eyes fixed on Gu Jiayan.

Yet the unwavering determination in her gaze left no room for negotiation.

She watched Gu Jiayan hesitate, raising her brows slightly, “Let me help you decide, then...”

“Big brother, I’m sorry.” Gu Jiayan forced himself to swallow the rage boiling inside him.

He clenched his teeth, his jawline taut to the point of rigidity.

The veins at his temples twitched faintly.

Every word Ruan Cha spoke had pushed him closer to the edge.

He was at an absolute disadvantage.

He couldn’t openly confront Ruan Cha any longer—if things spread to the Gu family, the elders would seize the opportunity to make an issue out of his position as future heir.

The viewers watched, stunned, as Gu Jiayan actually bowed his head and apologized to Gu Zhenzhi.

The comment section fell eerily silent.

A second later—

Suddenly, the screen exploded with a barrage of comments!

[I’m absolutely losing it! Gu Jiayan is actually sinister? He admitted to what he just did???]

[Wait, did I hear wrong? Gu Jiayan actually apologized???]
