When the girl in aqua blue dress saw Gu Qingjiu going up the elevator, she was baffled. “Is she wearing some recently launched designer wear?”
Upon hearing this, despite her attempt to restrain herself, Yu Shiwei couldn’t help but say in a derisive tone, “Sister Yuchen, she’s simply wearing ordinary goods. She can’t afford to buy designer brands.”
Ye Yuchen glanced at Yu Shiwei with a strange look. “Really? Then why did she enter the elevator designated for the hotel’s presidential suite?”
Yu Shiwei froze. At the start, she had thought that Gu Qingjiu was around to look for someone; she hadn’t expected that lift to be heading towards the presidential suite.
Presidential Suite. Even Yu Shiwei had never stayed in one before.
The so-called presidential suites in ordinary hotels couldn’t compare to the presidential suite of such a hotel.
She didn’t dare to believe her ears. Subconsciously, she guessed with the greatest malicious intent possible. “Her… her family is impoverished. How can she afford to stay in such a place? Could it be…”
She feigned shock and covered her mouth with her fingers, as though it pained her heart. “My god! She… she degenerated to such a level?”
Although she didn’t say it explicitly, the hidden meaning in her words was apparent.
Although Ye Yuchen was born in a prominent family and was a standard rich missy, she certainly knew about such things.
She was in disbelief. “Surely not? She doesn’t look like it.”
“Yuchen, do you know…”
With a pained expression on her face, Yu Shiwei somehow managed to squeeze out two drops of tears, giving her the facade of frailness. “I wasn’t going to tell you this. But now I have no choice but to do so. Because… She is my long-lost younger sister!”
Ye Yuchen widened her eyes.
“You must be puzzled as to why I had reacted the way I did earlier? That’s because she pains our hearts.”
Following that, Yu Shiwei told her about how Gu Qingjiu had declined her mother’s invitation to fetch her home, with highly colored details.
Of course, she had recounted the incident from her perspective, so one could just imagine how much truth there was in this version.
Since certain things would turn up in an investigation should the Ye family wished to check on Gu Qingjiu, Yu Shiwei cleverly only exaggerated Gu Qingjiu’s horrendous attitude towards Tan Yalan. She inferred from that the fact that she must not have received any proper upbringing growing up.
But recently, she suddenly started frequenting designer boutiques and now, even the presidential suite in a luxury hotel.
Even without having to go into detail, Yu Shiwei managed to describe Gu Qingjiu as an exceedingly horrible person in a mere few sentences.
Ye Yuchen’s eyes were filled with an incredulous glow. “Oh my god. Are you saying she even quarreled with you and scolded your mother? Goodness, gracious. And also, Brother Huinan saw her previously as well? Sister Shiwei, why are you two so different even though you’re sisters?”
“I have no idea. Maybe it has something to do with the way her adoptive family brought her up.”
Yu Shiwei let out an evil snicker in her heart but maintained that same frail outer appearance. She sighed and said, “Yuchen, this is considered our family’s scandal. I’m only telling because it’s you. But our family can’t do anything about her attitude. So we can only leave it at that.”
“Sister Shiwei, I feel that it’s a good thing that she didn’t return to your Yu family. If she did, it might taint your Yu family’s reputation. Although she’s also your younger sister… there’s nothing that can be done about it.”
Ye Yuchen even patted Yu Shiwei’s arm comfortingly. Yu Shiwei nodded, but she missed the hint of disdain that flickered across Ye Yuchen’s eyes as she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
