Gong Qingwan swallowed her anger, a fake smile plastered on her face as she glared viciously at Gu Tong, wishing she could eat her alive. She said, "Since you just got back, let's not talk about these things."
She quickly changed the subject, no longer giving Gu Tong a chance to retort, and instead said to Li Yan, "All these years, you weren't home, unaware of the family's situation. Now that you're back, it's bound to bring some trouble..."
With that, she sighed and said, "After you were born, the Lin Family arranged a marriage with our Li Family for their daughter, Lin Meiren. You've been missing for so long, she's waited for as many years. Now that you're back, the Lin Family is still an issue..."
If she didn't bring up this matter, it wouldn't be in Gong Qingwan's nature. She was clearly and covertly trying to break down Li Yan's defenses and ruin his reputation.
Gong Qingwan used the Lin Family as leverage, making it the best weapon for her attack.
