Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. Ignoring Gu Ya's obviously threatening look, he slowly and naturally took Madam Gu's hand.

"Aunt, thank you...thank you for recognizing me." Gu Qing said gratefully, and then changed the subject, with complex emotions such as loneliness and gloom in the depths of his eyes, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"But I really can't leave..."

Mrs. Gu was really curious this time and raised her eyebrows. It was not that she could not accept Gu Qing's departure, but she was curious. She was curious that such a young man with many labels such as a top student would reject her invitation without hesitation.

"Can you give me a reason?"

The corners of Gu Qing's mouth twitched slightly. At a glance, these two sentences between her and Mrs. Gu had the flavor of an urban Mary Sue novel.

What should I say next... I have made up my mind? I will come back with glory in ten years?

Gu Qing organized her words. She definitely couldn’t say something so childish.

After pondering for two seconds, Gu Qing was hesitating whether he should reveal his cards completely, list all of Gu Ya's crimes, and conduct a thorough investigation of Gu Ya.

After all, according to the initial setting of the entire world, I should be the only one who knows Gu Ya best among all the characters.

I know what she did there.

By revealing this, I believe that some of the firepower can be diverted. Even if Madam Gu doesn't believe me, she will take Gu Ya with her and never associate with me again from now on.

And now is the best time. It will be best to speak directly to Mrs. Gu. As long as she says it, it is basically equivalent to throwing out a royal bomb.

By then, Gu Ya will only get further and further away from me, and I will never have any contact with her for the rest of my life.

If it were Gu Qing a few days ago, he might have chosen this path for his own peace and quiet, but now... Gu Qing looked at Gu Ya behind Mrs. Gu.

She seemed to know what might happen in the next second. Her twin ponytails swayed along with her head. Her eyes were full of pleading. Her body seemed to be trembling a little. Her hands were clasped between her eyebrows, and then suspended in mid-air, at a loss.

The longer Gu Qing remained silent, the more frightened she became. Looking at the smiling look in Gu Qing's eyes, she became so anxious that her eyes turned red. Finally, she sat down and looked at Gu Qing, then looked at Zhao Yiyi who was broadcasting live not far away.

Gu Qing swore that as long as Gu Qing could let her go this time... she would... she would support Gu Qing for the rest of his life, simply by giving him money every month.

Gu Ya had read a news story before, the gist of which was that a person knew some shocking secret of another person, and then that person would blackmail him every month.

Gu Ya could completely accept this. After all, she had so much pocket money every month, and she was not a person who loved spending. It was more than enough for her to give some to Gu Qing every month.

She was just afraid that Gu Qing would say it out loud and really break the window paper. She really didn't want her mother to know about this...

When she was a student, there were actually very few people who could be considered bullied. Most of the people who gave in, Gu Ya followed the example of other wealthy young men from other families and paid compensation.

Even if she loses miserably in the end and refuses to give in, Gu Ya will still give money. She enjoys the pleasure of conquering others. This may be her sense of superiority.

But there is only Gu Qing. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how Gu Ya treated her, she framed her countless times, tortured Gu Qing, and spread rumors that she cheated.

But this was of no avail in the end, and instead gave Gu Qing an opportunity to embarrass herself. With more than ten teachers in the school supervising the exam at the same time and broadcasting the high school exam live, she was still able to get a score that was even higher than last time.

In the end, he neither gave in nor lost.

As the daughter of the Gu family, she certainly knew about her mother's iron-blooded tactics. It should not be difficult to find out how she treated Gu Qing over the years.

But she didn't want these truths to be spoken by Gu Qing in front of her mother and the audience in the live broadcast room.

You know, she just confirmed these two days that she and Gu Qing are good classmates.

She was really afraid that Gu Qing would go crazy and say whatever he wanted as soon as he opened and closed his mouth. Even if she didn't want to live, Gu Ya might still want to.

"Ahhh, if I had known I wouldn't have created that so-called good classmate persona..."

Gu Qing took in Gu Ya's actions and said slowly:

"Aunt Chen, this matter mainly comes from Gu Ya..."

Gu Ya's heart skipped a beat. The big one was really coming this time. Was Gu Qing really going to say it? In her mind, she had already thought of the names of all the gods she could remember and prayed a few times for each of them.

"What's wrong with her?" Mrs. Gu asked puzzledly.

Gu Qing's eyes turned, and she recounted her experience at the coffee shop bit by bit, only making a few changes. She held the card that Gu Ya had given her, her voice choking:

"The lady secretly met me at the beginning, her purpose was to let me take the money to the countryside, help the poor and do more charity. I originally only wanted a little, but the lady insisted on giving me five million..."

"Although this is just a good deed, I really like this place, the little kids here, the people and things here, the simplicity here, the tranquility here..."

Gu Qing said a lot, and most of the time he was bragging about Gu Ya. His purpose was to continue to get more attention for Gu Ya. Overall, the more people pay attention to her, the safer she will be, so Gu Qing wants to support Gu Ya vigorously.

Most of the words that follow are true. Gu Qing's feelings, the feelings she had after coming here. Although many years of career as a strategist have diluted Gu Qing's emotions and she no longer clings to anything, that doesn't mean she is truly numb.

She rushed to school every morning until school was over in the evening. She could clearly feel the kindness of every child towards her, the purest kindness, and that was enough.

She had no reason to return to Gu's company, let alone to City A, the place known as the 'City of Desire'.

As she spoke the latter part, Gu Qing's voice was no longer as trembling as it had been at the beginning and gradually became calmer. The pretended sobs also disappeared, but what she said became more and more heart-wrenching.

The emotions contained therein were enough to engulf everyone present.

Finally, Gu Qing finished speaking and she looked at Mrs. Gu. She didn't react for a moment and didn't expect Gu Qing to say so much to her.

The silence in the live broadcast room was even longer this time, and there were no barrages of comments for a long time.

As soon as Gu Qing started speaking, Zhao Yiyi focused the camera and gave Gu Qing a close-up.

A long time ago, some netizens jokingly called her a "war correspondent."

After hearing what was said, she was stunned. She didn't know what Gu Qing was doing. Did she make up a story just for Gu Ya? Did she really come prepared?
