Chapter 219: Rumors

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Teng’s worries were ignored by everyone. In the eyes of the Gu family’s eight sons, Yunbao was the best. Xiao Jing also believed that his daughter was always right. He did not think that there was anything wrong with this matter.

Gu Teng could only tell her parents her worries. Old Master Gu comforted her, “Yunbao has always been protected by her ancestors. You don’t have to worry about this.”

Hearing his father say this, Gu Teng thought of the purple-robed woman. She opened her mouth to ask, but was stopped by Old Master Gu. “If she doesn’t want to appear, let’s not ask.”

With her father’s guarantee, Gu Teng was relieved. After all, there would be problems with spell cultivation if she was not careful. Since Yunbao had someone to teach her, she did not have to worry anymore.

Every day, Lily would wake up with Yunbao to meditate. Under the guidance of Purple Eye, she would practice meditation and try some small spells to move items. She practiced very seriously.

Since they were not officially divorced, Lily could not enter school in the country yet. Yunbao would teach Lily what the teacher taught every day.

However, such a stable life would not last long. Devon, whose cultivation had been crippled, hated Yunbao deeply. He felt that she had snatched his wife and child away from him, and his cultivation had also been snatched away by Yunbao.

His hatred nourished the remaining Shadow Ghost’s resentment. Just as he was cursing, he realized that his lost cultivation had returned. Feeling the power brought by the resentment in his body, he laughed crazily. “I’ll make you all pay the price.”

Accompanied by Gu Teng, Cheng Xi’s condition was getting better and better. The day of the divorce trial was about to arrive. Thinking that she was about to obtain freedom, Cheng Xi’s entire body was glowing.

Gu Yu, who was browsing the stocks online, called out, “Come and take a look!”

His shout called everyone at home. They saw the headlines: “A socialite surnamed Cheng abandoned her husband. Suspected to be an adulterer.”

Although Cheng Xi’s name was not written on it, it was printed with Cheng Xi’s photo. Coupled with her recent divorce lawsuit, everyone knew that this socialite surnamed Cheng was Cheng Xi.

This news was filled with criticisms of Cheng Xi, accusing her of being greedy and abandoning her husband. Some people even took out photos of her living overseas.

Because Devon pretended to love his wife very much, those photos became evidence of Cheng Xi’s wealth. The comments online were one-sided, all saying that Cheng Xi didn’t know what was good for her.

Moreover, because Cheng Xi was living in the Gu residence now, many people guessed that she had hooked up with a young master of the Gu family, so she abandoned her husband, who had some assets overseas.

There were even speculations about who Lily’s biological father was. These disgusting words were increasing on the Internet.

Looking at the comments below, Cheng Xi almost couldn’t stand it anymore. She didn’t expect Devon to post the matter online. Now, everyone in the country knew about them, and those were all distorted information.

Eighth Brother Gu Peng quickly helped her to the sofa. Lily heard the sound and ran over. “Mom, are you alright?

Cheng Xi hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, “Mom is fine, go play first.”

After finally sending Lily away, Cheng Xi regained her rationality and said,

“We can’t let him continue talking nonsense. We have to fight back.”

Gu Yu shook his head and said, “That’s very difficult. The public only cares about what they want to know. To them, they have already determined that you’re not a good person. No matter what happens next, they won’t care.” “Then I’ll just let him spread rumors?” Cheng Xi said in disbelief.

Gu Peng raised an idea and said, “Since clarifying can’t maximize help to Cheng Xi, why don’t we just post those things about Devon? Let everyone know that Devon isn’t a good person, so they naturally won’t believe his words anymore. Then, they will dig out the details to prove Cheng Xi’s innocence. What they find out is more convincing than what they see.”

Gu Yu looked at Gu Peng with a deep gaze and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such wisdom.”

“Second Brother, what are you talking about?” Gu Peng exploded. “I’m the chief surgeon of Capital Hospital after all. Do you think I’m brainless?

Gu Yu spread his hands and did not answer. After all, he was many years older than Gu Peng. He would always remember Gu Peng’s appearance as a brat, so he naturally did not think that he was very smart now.

Just as Gu Peng was about to argue with his second brother, Cheng Xi held his hand and said sincerely, “Thank you so much. Otherwise, Lily and I wouldn’t be able to live. These rumors can ruin us..”
