Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 539: 539: She’s almost ruined by the prevailing customs.

The words of threat fell lightly.

But they had no impact on Gu Tong.

She focused intently on chopping vegetables, and then said flatly, ”I’m really looking forward to it!”

She also hoped for the day when the truth would be revealed, and even more so, for the day when Qiu Xue would be exposed!

That wouldn’t be too long now!

”We’ll just wait and see!”

Yan Xiaolan glared at her angrily, but she didn’t want to continue the argument.

Because debating like this wasn’t going to lead to any results. Only by completely exposing her would she admit her crimes!

The previously noisy small kitchen returned to calm in just a few words.

The viscountesses each went about their own business, as if what just happened was merely an interlude.

However, the atmosphere remained heavy, the previous laughter was gone, and the conversations and discussions had completely stopped...

The oppressive atmosphere had no effect on Gu Tong; in fact, she felt it was much quieter.

She focused intently on chopping vegetables, systematically completing her cooking steps.

Even though she had been bantering with Yan Xiaolan for a while, she was never idle in her actions.

The steak in the pan was already stir-fried, and she even had several side dishes ready.

Ever since Gu Tong appeared in the small kitchen,

the viscountesses hadn’t taken their eyes off her.

Even her cooking actions were watched intently.

The viscountesses found watching Gu Tong cook to be novel.

Because all the dishes she made were ones they hadn’t seen before...

After a short while, Gu Tong had mostly finished all the cooking.

She took out a large tray and placed all the dishes on it.

Then, without looking back, she carried the tray and left directly.

She didn’t like this place full of gossip and conflict.

At the very least, this was not the world she wanted to fight in!

”She’s, she’s too much...”

Yan Xiaolan stomped her foot angrily.

She wished she could chop Gu Tong into pieces.

”Why do you have to stir up trouble with her...”

Earlier, the viscountess who tried to stop Yan Xiaolan but failed finally got a chance to speak, ”She’s the daughter of Prince Gu, offending her won’t bring you any good...”

This is a hard truth! Don’t throw away a watermelon for a sesame seed.

By then, the cost won’t be worth it.

The viscountess couldn’t speak directly, so she conveyed the message in this way.

”Just because she’s the prince’s daughter, she can do whatever she wants? I just can’t stand her!”

Yan Xiaolan stopped washing vegetables, turned to the other viscountesses, and shouted, ”She’s ruining the atmosphere in the Academy Courtyard! Living together without being married! I am going to write a complaint letter about her! Let’s see if she can still act so arrogantly!”

She shouted happily, but the viscountesses weren’t interested in paying attention to her.

Because they all knew that Yan Xiaolan was just all talk, and she didn’t have the guts to actually do it.

Moreover, reporting Gu Tong was a small matter; reporting Devil King was an enormous one!

No matter how impulsive Yan Xiaolan was, she had to consider her husband’s future...

She wouldn’t trade all his prospects just for Qiu Xue!

Their reasoning was sound, but they underestimated one thing.

Yan Xiaolan was brainless, and as a result, this incident blew up uncontrollably.

Not only did she offend Gu Tong, but she also thoroughly offended Qiu Xue.

Of course, that’s a story for later!
