Gu Yuanli looked at him coldly. “You guys are mere strangers to me. Back then, you guys thought that we were part of the triads and were unwilling to raise us up. Now, please have some dignity and not get yourselves connected with the triads. Bye!”
Gu Yuanli bowed respectfully and got in the car. “Drive!”
Yang Lang cursed and went back to the study room.
“Pa, he’s gone,” Yang Lang said. “He has drawn the line between us.”
“Blood relations can never be cut off,” Old Master said. “The Yang Family’s blood still flows in his body. Would Gu Chun mind? No way. You have to hide your sister’s whereabouts. Do not leak a single bit of information.”
“Yes, Pa.” Yang Lang bit his lip and clenched his teeth slightly. “Pa, actually there’s no need for us to have bad blood with Yuanli. If… if information about sis…”
“You sc.u.mbag, what are you talking about? She’s your biological sister.” Old Master was livid. “For all these years, she could not come home. Whose fault was it? Now, you even want to use information about her to please an enemy. Are you nuts?”
Yang Lang said, “Pa, you know very well in your heart that sis has changed. She does not benefit us in a single way. If we force ourselves to keep her around, we will fall into the dirt with her. Yuanli is still young, and Ghost City will be his in the future. He has the right to speak up, and you have to judge things clearly. Sister is just here for revenge. We… have no reason to bring the whole family along with her to death.”
“Whatever she does in the future has nothing to do with us. Wipe your hands off them from now on, but don’t you ever leak out any information about her,” the Old Master said. Daughters were precious, but sons represented the hope of the family.
“Yes, Pa.”
Gu Yuanli found a bar in the capital, and he showed Yang Lang’s photo to a man. “Keep your eyes on him. I want to know everything about where he goes and who he has met.”
“Yes, Second Master.”
On the island.
Black Rose received a piece of news that came from outside of the island.
Gu Yuanli has been to the Capital city to look for you and asked for your whereabouts. He already has suspicions. Pa decided that in the future, the Yang Family will refrain from meddling in your affairs. We will not expose any information about you. Be careful.
The message was short, and it was sent through a private satellite.
Black Rose held onto the small note, and her face turned sullen.
Back then, when she had nothing at all and tried to seek help from her family, her eldest brother abandoned her personally. In fact, he did not allow her to even see her father. She returned to Black Rose with her vulnerable body and began her path on becoming the leader.
On this path, she went through very hard times.
Now, the family had once again decided to not meddle into her affairs.
Now, she could no longer use any help from the Yang Family, but the att.i.tude of her blood-related family was like a knife.
Thanks to Shen Qianshu, Yang Po was forced to a three-tier or fourth-tier kind of prefecture-level city. The conditions there were tough. If he wanted to return, he would still have to pull through for a few years. He was on the verge of breaking apart. Past records were taken into account in entering central government. Even if he entered, he might not be able to get real power.
“Pa, bro, are you guys beginning to put the blame on me?”
Black Rose burned the note, and she felt really depressed.
She touched the uneven scars on her face. Hatred had long burned her into someone as good as dead. She would never stop. Even if her family no longer joined her, she would not stop.
In the dormitory.
The ladies from the four dormitories broke into two factions, and they became temporary allies. They intended to fight against the outsiders first. They had too much desire to become the next leader of Black Rose. Even if it was a management leader, the desire to achieve that position was really huge to them.
If only they were fortunate enough to become the next leader.
