Chapter 92: Even the Palace Laws Cannot Curb You Anymore!?

Before Ye Luo could speak, Gong Ran said again, “The other girls in that class cried every single day. In the end, they either transferred or dropped out. But look at you—you even fit in with them! He Luo, are your grades so bad that you’ve given up completely and don’t care to improve at all?”

“What does that have to do with you?” Ye Luo asked calmly.

“He Luo!” Gong Ran shouted. “What kind of attitude is that?”

Only after noticing people were already looking their way did Gong Ran lower her voice, teeth clenched in fury. “You eat my family’s food, live in my family’s house, use my family’s things, spend my family’s money, and you still dare to act so insolently without even knowing your place! Last time too—you barely even paid attention to me! Believe me, I can tell Gong Lu to throw you out of his villa!”

“Then go ahead and tell him.”

She would be delighted to leave that villa.

“You!!!” Gong Ran pointed at her nose in anger. “Even Gong Lu can’t handle you now? That useless fool! He can’t even keep you in line!”

Even after she insulted Gong Lu as a good-for-nothing, Ye Luo said nothing. That was a matter between siblings, and whether they got along or not had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, Gong Ran had another flash of what she believed was insight. “Oh, I know. You’re acting so arrogant now because of Ye Wuqi, aren’t you? He’s backing you up, so you dare to be like this!”

At the thought of it, Gong Ran was nearly driven mad, stamping her foot hard. “Who on earth is behind him? Why are all of you so afraid of him?”

Ye Luo finally understood: Gong Ran had no idea who stood behind her ancestor. She only knew there was some untouchable presence behind him.

But all of you?

Did that include Gong Lu as well?

“Just wait!” After her burst of fury, Gong Ran calmed down again. “If you’ve got the guts, then let Ye Wuqi back you up for the rest of your life. Otherwise, the day he stops protecting you, I’d like to see how long you can keep acting so high and mighty!”

With that, she turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, she turned back and came to stand in front of Ye Luo again. “An Qianqian asked me to tell you: did you block her? Why else would she not be able to get through to you no matter how many times she called?”

Without waiting for Ye Luo’s answer, she went on, certain of herself, “You definitely blocked her. Otherwise, her calls wouldn’t go through. An Qianqian thinks so too. So she wanted me to tell you that whether or not you still have any interest in Gong Lu, and whether or not you’re trying to compete with her, once her ligament heals, she’ll get engaged to that useless Gong Lu, and later they’ll get married.”

The next second, she sneered. “It’s only because my mother is backing her up! Otherwise, with the way she is, Gong Lu would never agree to get engaged to her. Much less marry her.”

“She really thinks my mother is doing it for her own good, doesn’t she? She should think about—” At that point, Gong Ran seemed to realize she had nearly blurted something out, and she quickly shut her mouth.

Even without hearing the second half, Ye Luo could tell that Gong Ran’s mother’s attitude toward An Qianqian was not normal.

And her attitude toward Gong Lu was even more abnormal.

Tell me, what mother would make her own son marry someone like An Qianqian?

Gong Ran herself seemed to not regard Gong Lu as her brother at all, either.

Still, Ye Luo said nothing.

It had nothing to do with her. Strange as she found it, she would not ask out of curiosity.

But Gong Ran still questioned her irritably, “You only lost interest in Gong Lu so quickly because you knew my mother would always stand on An Qianqian’s side, didn’t you?”

Again, before Ye Luo could answer, Gong Ran negated it herself. “No. It could also be because Ye Wuqi is backing you, and you think Ye Wuqi has a stronger background than that useless Gong Lu, so you lost interest in Gong Lu and turned to liking Ye Wuqi instead! I heard it—now you like Ye Wuqi!”
