"Uncle Gu, who says we're family?" Nianyang's lips curled with coldness,
"Everyone here has sharp ears, you just said you picked me up and thought I was going to be locked up, afraid I'd drag you down, planning to sever ties with me. It's too late to change your tune now!"
Gu Yuandao didn't expect Nianyang to directly expose his inner thoughts, feeling embarrassed, yet his smile became even more ingratiating,
"Why would you think I'd be afraid you'd drag me down? I was just trying to protect the Gu Family's reputation with that strategy. Even though you were adopted, I've truly treated you as my own daughter. Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's pretend the severing of ties never happened."
Nianyang almost wanted to spit in his face, speaking such shameless words. She retorted sharply,
"Uncle Gu, you really have no shame. If you truly considered me your daughter, why did you turn a blind eye for so many years when Aunt Gu abused me?"
