A torrent of highly offensive curses erupted from Gu Qing's mouth.
She relentlessly swore for a solid three or four minutes, getting angrier and angrier, feeling more and more wronged, until she ended up crying from rage.
She wiped away her tears, then turned and pounded on Gu Sang's chest with her fists, stomping her feet and cursing furiously: "Why didn't you just say you were the young lady of the Gu Family!"
"If you had said it, the rumors would have been self-debunked! You infuriate me, you idiot! I still had to save you at the critical moment!"
"Let me tell you bunch of idiot reporters and the dead keyboard warriors cursing at Gu Sang in the live stream chat, my dad will teach you how to be a decent person today! Go #%¥@E##¥......"
Gu Sang stared at Gu Qing in a daze, her mind blown.
For the first time, the ancient people listening to this barrage of bleeped curses thought, so a woman could be this domineering and cool?!
They were truly impressed!
The reporters being pelted with water bottles were covering their heads and crying out about the lack of manners.
Gu Sang grabbed Gu Qing's wrist, genuinely in awe!
Feeling her hand being grabbed, Gu Qing turned her reddened eyes towards Gu Sang, who exclaimed with a bright gaze: "My dear sister's caring little cotton jacket, from now on you'll be my precious darling."
Little cotton jacket?
Precious darling?
Me?
Is she talking about me?
Gu Qing's mind was buzzing, her ears turning red, her crying and swearing coming to a halt!
She gazed confusedly at Gu Sang in front of her, who she could see was opening and closing her mouth saying: "Well said, swear some more!"
"I just didn't get to swear earlier, you need to build up the atmosphere! Where's that idiot reporter who questioned me being kidnapped into the mountains? How dare he question me, I'm doing just fine!"
"Your mouth stinks, did the umbilical cord snap when your mom gave birth to you and she stuffed poop into your mouth or what? Otherwise why does it reek of shit...."
"Not only was I kidnapped, but I also took down an entire village, over a hundred people ate only peanuts thanks to me! What a great feat that was for you, you little maggot from the sewer, to only see a bit of my chastity!"
Gu Sang pointed at the reporters in front of her and started cursing them out.
This time!
Everyone was dumbstruck!
The reporters shuddered, staring at Gu Sang, getting cursed out profanely. Didn't they say they would smile calmly and remain courteous?
Didn't they say they would be polite, gentle, elegant and graceful?
Gu Qing turned to look at Gu Sang too, stunned into silence.
Damn!
Is this really the same Gu Sang who was too timid to talk back a year ago?
How did she suddenly become such a relentless attacker! She's got a mouth on her now? Didn't she just call me her little cotton jacket and precious darling a moment ago?
Ah!
This this this this is too too too good hahahahaha!
There was a half minute of dead silence in the venue.
Even the cursing voices in the live stream chat froze for a few seconds.
Soon though.
A reporter came forward with a solemn face, glaring at the two on stage and angrily saying: "And just who are you? If you're going to whitewash yourselves, at least do it with some brain. The Gu Group, that's not something you two can aspire to be associated with!"
"Spewing profanities and insults, is this the refinement of a young lady from a prestigious family? Utterly senseless!"
"I've never heard of the Gu Family having two young ladies. You must be lying!"
As the reporters' voices of doubt rose.
And the live stream chat once again erupted in curses.
Gu's father strode into the venue with an imposing presence, perhaps awakened by Gu Qing's swearing, or perhaps realizing the situation had reached a point where he had to make an appearance.
Under the shocked, confused, and doubtful gazes of the reporters, Gu's father walked directly to Gu Sang's side, facing everyone and the tens of thousands of online viewers, and said: "Gu Sang is the young lady of my Gu Group."
"For all these years, she has never spent a single penny from the Gu Family."
"She has spirit and pride, even paying her own tuition fees by earning money herself. Someone like her, someone who disdains even a life of luxury, for you all to actually slander her as potentially becoming a mistress for money!"
"The internet is not a lawless place. The Gu Family bloodline would never bow and scrape for mere money! Open your eyes, everyone!"
Gu's father's words of affirmation struck the reporters like a thunderclap, their minds seeming to short-circuit as they could only gape dumbly at Gu Sang.
Then they looked between Gu Qing, Gu's father, and Gu Sang again.
Gu Sang was actually the young lady of the Gu Group!!
Gu Sang, of the Gu Family?!
That's right, their surnames were the same, how did they not realize this connection.
No, the crucial point was that the Gu Family actually had two daughters.
If Gu Sang really was the young lady of the Gu Family, then of course she would never become a mistress. She was clearly not lacking in money!
As for whether or not she was really kidnapped into the mountains, did that even matter now? Didn't they hear Gu Sang say she had cooperated with the police to take down over a hundred criminals in an entire village?
It probably wouldn't be long before this major news broke officially!
Immediately!
The media reporters changed their expressions, fawning and agreeing: "Ah, so Ms. Gu Sang is the young lady of the Gu Family. No wonder Ms. Gu Sang only played the third female lead in President Tang's drama, it seems Ms. Gu Sang indeed didn't use backdoor connections."
"Mr. Gu didn't abuse his power to make Ms. Gu Sang the main lead, this kind of behavior is so rare in the entertainment industry nowadays. Mr. Gu is truly a breath of fresh air."
"For the young lady Ms. Gu Sang to put herself in danger and dismantle a village involved in human trafficking is a great service indeed."
Seeing these media reporters so transparently changing their stance, Gu Qing scoffed contemptuously, mercilessly cursing them as turncoats.
Gu's father sighed.
Now that Gu Sang was being slandered, because of her blood relation to the Gu Family and her identity as the young lady of a prestigious family, the rumors could be debunked.
But what if Gu Sang was just an ordinary person?
Those ordinary people who were slandered, those ordinary girls unable to prove their innocence, what were they to do? How could they prove they were wronged?
They would likely never have a chance to clear their names in this lifetime!
In front of the media crowd, Gu's father looked at Gu Sang with a sense of remorse: "Sang Sang, I'm sorry we didn't care about your feelings before. Dad will support you from behind from now on."
Gu Sang raised her eyes to meet her father's gaze, his eyes conveying a sense of reassurance, love, and atonement.
A gaze that was previously only reserved for Gu Qing.
Gu Sang lowered her eyes slightly and smiled.
But it was too late, she didn't care anymore.
Some things, once missed, are missed forever. Even if compensated now, it's no longer the same mindset as before. She can never return to her high school mentality!
Gu Sang said to Gu's father, "Thank you, Dad," then turned to the media reporters: "Wait for my lawyer's letter!"
"Everyone who has spread rumors about me, I won't let you off lightly!"
"I really hope that those media outlets who twist facts and truth for hype and topics, those internet bullies who think they're fair, righteous, and standing on a high ground to judge everything – one day, the defamatory comments you leave will become the knives pointing at you!"
"At that time, I will definitely laugh from the high ground!"
