Su Ziyun hadn’t anticipated that Gu Yang would be so frugal.
The Tong siblings weren’t Tong Rao’s biological children, so Gu Yang was Tong Rao’s only true heir. Returning to the Tong family would mean inheriting their hundreds of billions in assets.
A few million yuan should be a trivial amount for her.
Of course, Su Ziyun couldn’t disclose this information just yet.
Su Ziyun continued: [Gu Yang, even though the Gu family treats you well, your adoptive father has a tarnished reputation from past disgraceful actions. Who knows when your family might face expulsion from the capital again?]
Su Ziyun: [It’s challenging to break into the elite circles in the capital. Don’t you want to secure your place there?]
Su Ziyun: [Do you want to continue being seen as a fake daughter, or would you rather become a genuine member of the Tong family?]
Just as she was passionately making her case, she realized that she had been blocked.
Gu Yang saw Su Ziyun’s confidence and considered negotiating to see if she could buy the information for 100,000 yuan.
However, when she saw Su Ziyun’s disparaging comments about Gu Zhaoming, echoing the harsh sentiments of online haters, she made a swift decision to block her.
Even if she had to donate the money to stray cats and dogs, she wouldn’t give Su Ziyun a cent.
Su Ziyun was left stunned. She had assumed that revealing her more powerful and wealthy biological family would sway Gu Yang to agree to the deal. She never expected Gu Yang to block her outright.
Su Ziyun had initially thought about selling the information to Tong Rao but realized, as a student, she had no direct way to approach the Tong family head.
She feared that revealing the information could lead to her being silenced by Tong Sinian and his sister, who were ruthless enough to kill their own mother without hesitation.
She doubted they would care about their relationship as classmates.
That’s why she turned to Gu Yang in the first place.
Su Ziyun was growing increasingly anxious. She held a significant secret that could potentially yield immense wealth, yet she found herself unable to sell it.
With the curtains drawn and the room cloaked in darkness, Gu Yang lay in her soft, warm bed, wrapped snugly in a blanket with only her head visible.
She glanced at her phone and chose to ignore it.
In truth, Gu Yang wasn’t particularly obsessed with discovering her biological family. She felt content with her current life and had grown fond of the Gu family and her relatives.
Her biological family was still unknown to her, making it difficult to form any opinions about them.
She decided to let things unfold naturally.
Moreover, Su Ziyun’s information wasn’t entirely reliable. Even if it was true, it likely came from someone else, which meant that others already knew about her background.
If others knew, revealing her identity might be just a matter of time.
As Gu Yang slept soundly, Su Ziyun remained restless and unable to sleep.
A few days later, the butler of the Tong Family called Gu Yang.
“Miss Gu Yang, are you available? Our Family Head is experiencing insomnia again. When would it be convenient for you to come over?”
“I’m free today.”
“Great. Where are you? I’ll have the driver come and pick you up.”
During the call, the butler failed to notice Tong Jiayin, who had just appeared around the corner.
Hearing that the butler was sending a car for Gu Yang, Tong Jiayin stopped in her tracks. Anger flashed in her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.
Her older brother had planned to use the Gu family’s internal conflicts to drive Gu Yang and her family out of the capital. Despite stirring up public opinion and adding fuel to the fire, the Gu family hadn’t taken any significant action.
Instead, Gu Yang and her mother seemed to be growing closer, and even the butler showed her more respect than he did Tong Jiayin!
The Tong Family’s driver had picked Gu Yang up several times before. Recognizing the car model and license plate, she felt a twinge of unease when she noticed that the driver was different this time.
Though the car was the same, the driver was not.
