Meng Lang chuckled. “Let me do it! You’re a doctor, your hands are meant to save lives, not hit others!”
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him, but Gu Chu pulled him back!
The people beside her were Lin Yin, Lu Shen, Lin Yu, Pei Xin and Meng Lang. When the rumors started, they all chose to stand by her unconditionally. With such a group of friends around, she was calm.
They could punch him to vent their anger, but if they really did attack him, it would be a different story.
The guests were confused. They did not know who to believe.
Someone asked, “Old Wang, do you have any other evidence?”
“That’s right. It’s just a piece of paper. It’s not enough to convince us.”
If Chairman Wang had known that Gu Chu was so difficult to deal with, he would not have accepted this task. He wiped the corner of his mouth. “Then let Mrs. Gu tell us whether Gu Chu is really the biological child!”
Lu Shen sneered. “Ridiculous.”
The guests also felt that it was ridiculous. “You’re the one who accused Gu Chu of not being the biological daughter, shouldn’t you give the evidence instead?”
One of the guests realized that the members of the Gu family were not around and was puzzled. “Chairman Gu is not feeling well. Why is Mrs. Gu not around too? That’s strange.”
Meng Lang also lost his patience. “Why are you wasting your breath on him? Just throw him out.”
He immediately lifted Chairman Wang up, intending to throw him out.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the stairway. “Wait.”
Everyone looked over and someone said, “Mrs. Gu has appeared.”
Gu Chu slowly turned.
Mrs. Gu was alone, her expression calm.
It turned out that she had been upstairs the entire time, quietly watching.
Someone said what Gu Chu was thinking, “so Mrs. Gu has been here the entire time. Did you also hear what we said just now?”
She pursed her lips. “Yes.”
So, she was here the whole time.
The hall was well-heated, but Gu Chu felt a strange chill.
“Mrs. Gu, can you tell us the truth? Is Second Miss Gu your biological daughter?”
Mrs. Gu stood at the last step and said slowly, “This is our family matter. I don’t think I have the obligation to tell anyone?”
“Although it’s a family matter, it’s about the position of vice president of the Gu Corporation. That’s not just a family matter, right?”
“Mrs. Gu, is it so difficult to say yes or no?”
Lin Yin hugged Gu Chu and was very close to her. However, she felt a chill on her body. She said coldly, “do you all care about the Gu Corporation, or do you just want to hear the gossip?”
That person paused for a moment, then said righteously, “everyone is curious. After arguing for so long just now, don’t we all want to know the truth?”
Lin Yin didn’t even have to think about it. “She is Gu Chu.”
Her childhood friend.
Gu Chu looked at her, and Lin Yin nodded slightly at her.
In the corner, someone smiled faintly. “Don’t you guys understand what Mrs. Gu is trying to say? If it was her biological child, she would have said it out loud.”
Lin Yin saw that the person who spoke was Wang Yun and chuckled. “Wang Yun, your family almost went bankrupt. Do you think you’re so great? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
For the sake of her pride, Wang Yun did not stay quiet. “There are so many people here, and I’m not the only one who’s curious. Why are you only targeting me? Besides, is what I said unreasonable?”
It was reasonable, that was why everyone was suspicious.
If she was her biological son, why didn’t she stand up for her?
The rumors that were about to be quelled were once again revived.
“Gu Chu and Mrs. Gu indeed don’t look alike.”
“A child should look like their parents.”
“Then she’s not her biological daughter. Look at First Miss Gu, she looks very similar to Mrs. Gu.”
The voices entered Gu Chu’s ears, slowly dissolving the courage and calmness that Gu Chu had just built up.
“There’s no need for food anymore, since everyone is full from the gossip.” Pei Xin held Gu Chu’s hand. “I told you this kind of banquet is meaningless. Let’s go.”
