Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Zhao's words were like an invisible slap in the face to Ye Mingzhu.

Her face turned pale and then flushed, and her lips trembled with anger.

"You, you—"

Before Ye Mingzhu could finish her curse, Ye Linyan coldly interrupted her, saying, "Enough, Ye Mingzhu."

"This is the Gu family home, not the Ye family home. If you're going to cause trouble, at least make sure you know where you are."

He gave Ye Mingzhu a disdainful look, and then said to Wu Zhao, "Miss Wu, it seems that today's show can only end here."

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow at him.

"The old master of the Gu family will probably find out about what happened here soon." Ye Linyan's gaze swept over Gu Chen and continued, "That old master is not someone who can be easily fooled. Ye Mingzhu's rudeness will likely cost the Ye family a lot of money this time."

Ye Mingzhu is doomed to suffer for causing trouble in front of the Gu family's council meeting and even fantasizing about using her elder's name to pressure Gu Chen.

I wonder if his doting older brother will foot the bill for her.

Although his tone was somewhat regretful, Ye Linyan's expression remained quite calm.

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised to see a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

It seems the Ye family isn't as harmonious as it appears on the surface...

"I'll take my leave now." Ye Linyan had watched the show long enough and decided not to get involved.

Ye Mingzhu screamed, "Uncle!"

She never imagined that Ye Linyan would actually stop caring about her!

"I will definitely tell Dad, Uncle, you can't just leave me like this!"

Wu Zhao shook his head, somewhat amused.

Ye Mingzhu still can't see the situation clearly, and she even dares to threaten Ye Linyan?

Ye Linyan glanced at Ye Mingzhu coldly, "Oh, then go ahead and complain."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Ye Mingzhu standing there in astonishment.

Madam Yue was secretly delighted and walked over to Ye Mingzhu, saying, "Mingzhu, look at the mess we made today. Why don't you stay here? I'll treat you well after the meeting—"

"Get out of my way!" Ye Mingzhu shouted angrily, shoving her away without thinking. "Who do you think you are, a mistress who climbed up the social ladder? You dare to try and get close to me?!"

Realizing that Madam Yue and Gu Yang held no place in Gu Chen's heart, Ye Mingzhu also wanted to have nothing more to do with Madam Yue.

Unexpectedly, she was so impolite and direct; Madam Yue's face turned ashen.

"Brother Gu Chen, I won't give up." Ye Mingzhu looked at Gu Chen. "I'll go back and tell my dad, you... you believe me, I really like you—"

Gu Chen didn't look at her, but simply said, "Miss Ye, please leave."

"Brother Gu Chen! What have I done wrong that you treat me like this? I am the only eldest daughter of the Ye family. Marrying me is equivalent to marrying half of the Ye family!"

Ye Mingzhu spoke anxiously, trying to get closer to Gu Chen.

Qingyao took two steps forward and stopped her: "Please, Miss Ye."

"Just like your uncle said, this is the Gu family home, not the Ye family home."

Several elders of the Gu family were tempted, but after seeing Gu Chen's expressionless face, they held back what they wanted to say.

Wu Zhao noticed their restless intentions and chuckled, "I didn't expect your Gu family to need to rely on marriage to develop?"

Gu Chen glanced at the silent elders and explained, "Zhao Zhao, that's not true."

Ye Mingzhu bit her lip and glared fiercely at Wu Zhao.

"Wu Zhao, is it? I'll remember you. Gu Chen is mine, you just wait!"

After uttering those harsh words, Ye Mingzhu staggered out the door.

"...What an innocent young lady."

Qingyao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Has the head of the Ye family lost his mind, raising his daughter like this?

"Qingyao, go to the Ye family." Gu Chen withdrew his gaze. "Ask the Ye family patriarch what he plans to do by allowing his daughter to come to the Gu family."

He then looked at the elders and said, “If you have any other ideas, my advice is to abandon them now.”

Gu Chen's gaze swept lightly across Gu Yang and Madam Yue's faces.

"This is the Gu family home... I'm still in charge here."

"As for some people, stop daydreaming. The Gu family will not allow an illegitimate child into the family, nor will it hand the Gu family over to a spendthrift."

He bluntly pointed out Gu Yang's delusional fantasies.

Those who had been swayed by Gu Yang's words lost their initial interest after seeing Gu Chen.

If Madam Yue and Gu Yang hadn't kept emphasizing that Gu Chen was unable to stand and was about to die, they wouldn't have had those wicked thoughts...

Upon seeing this, Wu Zhao said, "Is there something you want to say? Then I'll be leaving now."

When she realized that Gu Chen wanted to keep her, she pushed him away without hesitation.

"I'm not a member of the Gu family, I'll just wait outside."

Don't even think about setting a trap for her!

Unable to resist glaring at Gu Chen, Wu Zhao turned and walked outside.

After watching her leave with a hint of a smile in his eyes, Gu Chen turned his head coldly and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's get ready to begin—"

……

Wu Zhao was a little bored outside.

After strolling around the courtyard, she took in her surroundings.

You can tell that the flowers and plants in the yard have been carefully maintained, and the arrangement has been guided by an expert.

It is very good at accumulating wealth.

"Hmm, as expected of a powerful and influential family... and a chosen one."

A faint sound of footsteps approached, and a slightly puzzled voice rang out behind Wu Zhao.

"Who...are you? What are you doing in my house?"

The voice was gentle and steady, carrying a reassuring and comfortable feeling.

Wu Zhao suddenly turned around and looked into a pair of empty, light brown eyes.

The handsome, scholarly-looking man held a white cane, his face showing a somewhat confused expression.

"And who are you?" Wu Zhao asked with some curiosity.

The man seemed nervous and at a loss upon hearing the unfamiliar voice. He then whispered, "Have I come to the wrong place? This isn't the Gu family's house. Have I wandered into someone else's house?"

“This is the Gu family’s residence,” Wu Zhao couldn’t help but say. “I am the intruder.”

Slightly relieved, the unseen man said, "You're a guest at the Gu family's house. Are you lost?"

"If you don't mind, I can take you with me. My name is Gu Moqing. What's your name?"

Even though they can't see themselves, they still want to lead the way for strangers.

Could it be that the Koo family has also raised a naive and innocent child?

Wu Zhao looked at him with some surprise and found that this person had no kinship with Gu Chen.

Although she was a little confused, she calmly said, "No need, I'm just waiting for someone outside."

Gu Moqing said "Oh," and then...

"Young Master Mo Qing, what brings you outside?"

A worried voice rang out, and a person hurried over.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao, he asked somewhat warily, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Seeing him shielding Gu Moqing behind him like a protective mother hen, Wu Zhao was speechless.

"I'm just waiting for Gu Chen, not a thief."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Gu Chen's name, the man not only did not relax but became even more nervous.

He shielded Gu Moqing, saying, "My young master is no longer a threat to him, so don't even think about hurting him!"

"Young Master has already been blinded by Gu Chen, what does he want to do now!"
