When Tan Yalan heard Gu Qingjius words, her heart trembled.

She thought that Gu Qingjiu wouldnt say anything and hadnt expected that the lass would blurt out the matter in front of so many people.

Her countenance turned too terrible suddenly.

Her original intent was to humiliate Gu Qingjiu. Still, she wanted no one to find out that Gu Qingjiu was her biological child.

As for Gu Qingjiu, at that moment, she finally saw Tan Yalans true colors.

She could only see loath and resentment in Tan Yalans eyes, and not a trace of the gentleness a mother ought to possess.

Perhaps Gu Qingjiu might never need the answers to specific questions.

Because the answers no longer mattered.

Madam Tan, theres a saying that goes, You can eat whatever you like, but you cannot speak as you please. Youre going to have to bear responsibility for your defamatory speech.

How was that slander?

Tan Yalan deliberately raised her volume. Shiwei saw it with her own eyes. If you arent a mistress, you dont have what it takes to come and go into such a place as you wish.

Yalan, Yalan, what exactly is going on?

One of the rich women beside her, who could no longer bear to continue watching this ruckus, attempted to stop Tan Yalan once again. By then, there were more and more people stopping by to watch this show.

Those people were pointing fingers and gossiping, an incredulous look on their faces. They were clearly eager to watch a good show.

Ignoring those stares, she couldnt restrain the hatred in her heart as she looked at Gu Qingjius face.

She raised an arm, wanting to hit Gu Qingjiu. Im going to teach you how to respect your elders today. And also, for being a shameless wench!

But before her palm could land on Gu Qingjius face, the latter grabbed her hand.

Gripping Tan Yalans hand, she asked with an icy stare, Tan Yalan, have you lost your mind?

Never mind that she was getting into an argument with her. But to think she actually wanted to get physical.

Let go of me!

Tan Yalan struggled with all her might, but Gu Qingjiu refused to let go. Just then, noticing that something was amiss, a security staff came over with the manager.

The delighted Tan Yalan immediately said to them, Quick, come over and chase this woman out. Gosh, seriously. Do you just let any Tom, Dick, and Harry come into this place?

Angry and amused, Tan Yalans companions started distancing themselves from the quarreling duo.

Those who came to this place were of a particular social status. Who would disregard their face entirely and quarrel with someone in public?

Especially since it seemed like this person was her daughter.

But when the hotel manager came over and saw Gu Qingjiu, he seemed flustered. Miss Gu, err

Gu Qingjiu shook off Tan Yalans hand and sneered as she cast a glance at her. This crazy woman insists on quarreling with me here.

The hotel manager looked towards Tan Yalan, who was in disbelief. Seeing that she wanted to get physical again upon hearing Gu Qingjius words, he immediately stepped forward and blocked Gu Qingjiu from her. Madam, my apologies. Our hotel doesnt welcome people like you.

Usually, hotels wouldnt do something like this to offend guests.

But this girl before him was a guest of the hotels only presidential suite.

The hotel naturally couldnt afford to offend her.

Amid Tan Yalans ear-piercing shrieks, she was forcibly dragged out of the place.

With a cold expression, Gu Qingjiu nonchalantly walked toward the dedicated elevator.

Those guests who saw her enter that elevator and were aware of where it led to, all exchanged glances.
