When Ning Yun was thrown out of the main house of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu immediately found out and rushed to the main house. When the servant saw her suddenly enter the house, they hurriedly welcomed her into the living room.

Mrs. Gu’s gaze was sharp and intimidating. She looked around the living room. “Where’s Minghuai? Where’s the butler?”

Although she was in her forties, she had taken good care of herself. In addition to her exquisite makeup, she looked like she was only in her thirties.

“Fourth master and the butler are in the study. Do you want me to call…”

Before the maid could finish her sentence, Mrs. Gu interrupted, “Go and call the woman named Ning Shan down.”

“Yes.” The maid rushed upstairs and knocked on Ning Shan’s door.

“Miss Ning, the fourth master’s mother has arrived. She wants to see you, please head on downstairs.”

Mrs. Gu? Gu Minghuai’s mother?

Ning Shan was stunned for a few seconds before she snapped out of it. She pointed at herself in surprise. “You want me to go down and see Mrs. Gu?”

“Yes, hurry up and go. Don’t make Mrs. Gu wait for too long. It’ll be impolite.” The maid left after she finished speaking.

Ning Shan was extremely nervous. She held onto the corner of her clothes with her fingers and walked down the stairs.

When she came down, her heart was pounding. Her sister had just gotten into that incident and Mrs. Gu came over immediately after, it’s possible that the two matters are related.

Entering the living room, Ning Shan saw a young, dignified, and beautiful woman sitting on the couch. Her expression was solemn and cold, Ning Shan gulped and spoke with difficulty, “Hello, Aunty Gu. My Name Is Ning Shan. I’m borrowing Mr. Gu’s goodwill to temporarily stay here.”

“So you’re Ning Shan.” Mother Gu looked at Ning Shan from head to toe critically. Her gaze went from her plain clothes of an unknown brand to her shoes that had been washed clean but were fading, there was a look of contempt and disdain in her eyes. “Tsk, you look exactly like Yun ‘er. It’s true that you are beautiful, though.”

“Mrs. Gu, do you know my sister?” Ning Shan asked shyly.

Mrs. Gu ignored her and looked high and mighty. “Ning Shan, don’t think that just because you look like your sister, you can have the same treatment as her. The two of you are completely different people.”

Ning Shan was stunned again and asked in a low voice, “Mrs. Gu, what do you mean by this?”

“What do I mean? You’re pretending to be something you’re not. Let me tell you frankly, a vain woman like you doesn’t deserve to stay by my son’s side. Do you understand now?” Mrs. Gu picked up the small and exquisite teacup with her crystal-covered fingernails, she took a sip of the Long Jing tea that the maid had just made and spoke bluntly.

Ning Shan’s face turned white and bit her lips. “Mrs. Gu, I didn’t mean to stay here and not leave. I really didn’t have a choice…”

“You didn’t have a choice, says you!” Mrs. Gu interrupted her with a sneer. “Every woman who covets the Gu family’s wealth and statuses says that. What a coincidence!”

“In the beginning, you schemed against Yun ‘er and slept with Minghuai in her place. Then, you used a trick to move into the Gu family’s main residence,” Mrs. Gu’s voice was high and sharp, getting louder and louder, “Until today, you’re still stirring up trouble in front of Minghuai, causing Yun ‘er to make a fool of herself in public!”

Ning Shan was extremely shocked. She stared at Mrs. Gu as if she had been petrified, not knowing how to refute her.

“I’m warning you. Leave Minghuai if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, we can’t guarantee what will happen later.” Mrs. Gu said coldly.

Ning Shan lowered her head. Her eyes were in tears again. “Mrs. Gu, I really can’t leave this place for the time being.”

“Excuses,” Mrs. Gu did not think much of it. “I’ve seen many women who would do anything for money and status, but there’s no one who’s as thick-skinned as you!”
