Chapter 1326: Walking In The Backlight (2)

Dingdong—

The doorbell was ringing.

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man outside. Dark suit, black sunglasses… he seemed a little familiar.

She opened the door.

“Miss Wen Di, Mister asked you to come back.”

“…”

…

The Host’s background was also not simple. She was the Gu family’s young miss…

The Host took her mother’s surname and came to the Gu family with her. But because of the Host’s mother, the Gu family’s people didn’t approve of her much.

They thought that the Host’s mother used improper means to marry into a rich family.

After all…

Before that, the Host’s mother was just an ordinary person with a child.

Mr. Gu did not like her, and the Host knew it well.

Therefore, when she finally could support herself, the Host moved out of the Gu family on her own initiative. Except for holidays and visiting her mother occasionally, she would seldom go back to the Gu family.

She reached her present position in the entertainment circle all because of the Host’s own efforts.

The Gu family’s people didn’t like her.

She also didn’t like the Gu family.

At the Gu family’s mansion…

“Miss Wen Di, please.”

The bodyguard opened the car door for Ming Shu.

Ming Shu glanced at the mansion and followed the bodyguard in.

In the living room, Mr. Gu and her mother were both present, and a beautiful girl was standing beside them.

She was the Gu family’s young lady, Gu Xi.

“Sister,” Gu Xi called her in a low voice, looking very worried.

Pa!

Mr. Gu hit the table with the book in his hand. Mother Wen looked at him nervously, then looked at Ming Shu.

“Little Di.” Mother Wen got up. “What happened? Why is there so much bad news about you?”

“I don’t know.” The Host didn’t know who she had offended.

“Little Di,” Mother Wen continued nervously. “Explain to your unclewhat was all about those reports?”

Mr. Gu looked at Ming Shu coldly. “I have long warned you, do not act foolishly outside. You are now one of my Gu family’s people, and you are humiliating the family.”

“I’m sure there must be some kind of misunderstanding, Little Di wouldn’t act wildly,” Mother Wen said hurriedly.

“Dad, listen to Sister’s explanation,” Gu Xi also said. “I don’t believe my sister would do these kinds of things, those photos must be fake.”

When it came to the photos, Mr. Gu was even unhappier. “I won’t ask about those reports then, but what about the photos! If it hasn’t happened, how could someone have taken those pictures?”

Ming Shu looked at Gu Xi and raised her eyebrows slightly. “Why did you call me back? Just to criticize these things?”

Mr. Gu was furious. “See what her attitude is!”

Mother Wen pulled Ming Shu. “Little Di, how can you speak to your uncle like that?”

Ming Shu ignored Mother Wen. “Mr. Gu, I don’t have a household register in your Gu family, I didn’t spend your money, and you are not my father. So what does it have anything to do with you if I do anything outside?”

Mr. Gu’s eyes widened and he pointed to Ming Shu. “You… Look at her, what’s with her bad attitude! Where are all her manners! She never respects me as an elder!”

Mother Wen had a timid personality and suddenly didn’t know what to do at this time.

Mr. Gu continued, “You have been well taken care of by the Gu family for so many years and now this is how you repay us? How does the Gu family keep such an ungrateful soul like you.”

Ming Shu was innocent. “Mr. Gu, I was thirteen years old when I came to the Gu family, and my mother paid for all expenses and tuition.

“Two years later, I left the Gu family, signed a contract, and started acting. During the next year, I came back to the Gu family only a handful of times.

“When I left, I transferred all the expenses to your account at that time. I don’t know, Mr. Gu, how come you say the Gu family took good care of me for so many years?”

When they had just arrived at the Gu family, everyone disliked her and Mother Wen.

This Mr. Gu also said nothing about the Host’s schooling.

Mother Wen naturally dared not say anything. So, Mother Wen spent her deposit paying for the Host’s everyday food and clothing, and schooling.

When she was in school, she never went back to the Gu family.

If you counted it, she really didn’t spend much money from the Gu family.

Mr. Gu: “…”

Mr. Gu’s eyes bulged in anger.

He held back his fury. “Your mother’s… ”

“What’s my mother’s is my mother’s, don’t be so shameless as to say that what’s my mother’s is yours.”

“…”

The Gu family dealt with billion-dollar businesses often. If that was the case, people would be laughing their heads off.

“So, what happens outside is my business and I don’t need you to ask, Mr. Gu. Naturally, Mr. Gu, you are not in a position to judge me.”

Ming Shu smiled and took Mother Wen away.

“Wen Di! If you walk out of this door today, you won’t walk into my house again!”

Mr. Gu shouted from behind them.

Ming Shu raised her hand and waved. “I am really unwilling to enter your house.”

These past years, if it were not that Mother Wen lived here, the Host was truly not willing to enter the Gu family’s gate.

Every time she came back, both Mr. Gu’s unhappy face and the comments and talk from the servants struck at the heart of the Host.

Walking out of the gate, Mother Wen returned to herself.

“Little Di, how can you talk to Uncle Gu like that? Go back with me and apologize to him, Uncle Gu won’t blame you.”

As she spoke, Mother Wen tried to pull Ming Shu back.

The child had come back in silence before.

Today she suddenly acted like this. Mother Wen felt surprised and worried at the same time.

The relationship between her daughter and husband was like this, she just didn’t know who to help.

“Mom.” Ming Shu didn’t move and instead pulled Mother Wen back. “He doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him. It’s better that we had this talk today.”

“Little Di…”

Ming Shu formed a faint smile. “Mom, I don’t know if you’re happy in the Gu family. But if you want to leave here any day, come to me any time, I won’t make your life worse than here.”

Mother Wen froze in place.

She suddenly found that her daughter had grown up.

No…

She had grown up long ago, but she had never noticed it.

Mother Wen murmured, “Those news…”

Ming Shu said casually, “People never stop talking, but I know what I did and didn’t do.”

Besides, I’m the scapegoat hero!

…

Ming Shu left the Gu family’s mansion.

The driver didn’t mean to send her away, so she walked out by herself.

A car suddenly stopped in front of her, showing Gu Xi’s tender face.

“Sister,” Gu Xi called softly. “Sister, get in the car, let me send you out. It’ll take you a long time to leave.”

Ming Shu sized her up with several looks. “No need.”

Gu Xi.

She majored in acting and just graduated this year. With the help of the Gu family’s connections, she received the leading woman’s role as soon as after her graduation.

Unlike the rest of the family….

Gu Xi always called her sister and spoke for her.

Therefore, Gu Xi was the only one in the Gu family that the Host was willing to have a word with.

But just like earlier, she seemed to be speaking for her, but actually she was reminding Mr. Gu of the indecent photos.

This little cutie Gu Xi…

She was not really cute.

After being rejected, Gu Xi’s expression slightly froze.

But then Gu Xi continued, “Sister… Don’t be mad at Dad, I’ll talk to him. I’ll also ask Dad to deal with the negative news.”

Ming Shu looked back and smiled. “Like I said, no need.”

Ming Shu walked on the side path.

Gu Xi’s car couldn’t get on the path so she could only watch her leave.

She squeezed the steering wheel slightly, closed her red lips, then drove away.
