Chapter 191 - The rumor put the Gu family right in the middle of the spotlight. (3)
Luckily, the school had them all wiped clean in less than two hours.
At the same time, someone posted a picture of Gu Xi and Gu Shao walking side by side at school the other day with the caption: [I am not going to dignify the crazy talks solely with the purpose of stirring up troubles. All of you who are here to gossip, please use some of your own judgement. Here's a photo. Take a good look at it if you are not blind.]
Truth with, with Gu Shao and Gu Xi looking so much alike. Nobody would believe that they were not father and child.
As such, a rumor incident was chalked up to misunderstanding and averted just like that.
In fact, it all happened so fast that after Gu Xi had spent the morning focused on her classes and, by the time she had heard about the incident and was ready to strike back, it was already all gone.
What Gu Shao didn't know was: At the very same time, outside of her school, another rumor had crept up slowly. In less than half a day, the news had reached half of City B.
This time, the protagonist of the story was not her, but Gu Yaobai.
As it involved the police, as such, anything that had to do with Yang Wanni, let it be her looking for Gu Qinghua, or that Gu Qinghua was being framed and was being investigated, or finally the death of Yang Wanni, everything was kept under a tight lid.
To a point that nobody outside of the Gu family was even aware of Yang Wanni and definitely not that Gu Yaobai was not really a child of Gu Qinghua.
That, on top of the fact that Gu Yaobai and Gu Shao were very close in age and that Gu Qinghua was not known to be a player, everyone who didn't know much about the Gu family just assumed that the two of them were fraternal twins.
As such, as soon as this rumor popped up, the Gu family that was rarely ever talked about in the past, was quickly pushed to the center of public opinions.
Why was it that Gu Yaobai didn't look like the other Gu family members? Why was it that his name was different than the others? Why was it that Gu Yaobai had moved out of the Gu family at an early time, etc. etc.
Nobody dared to look into these questions in the past but, now that the rumors had started, all of these questions bubbled up.
Suddenly, whether Gu Yaobai was truly a Gu's was being well discussed.
The incident itself did not impact the Gu family much. At most it felt odd to see articles and recommended reads about their own family. In reality, neither the reporters nor the rumors could get anywhere close to the Gu family.
On the other hand, Gu Yaobai's own business and also those he had set up in the name of the Gu family were greatly affected.
In the past, even though Gu Yaobai had moved out from the Gu family, but he was still a Gu in the eyes of the others. And many of them only worked with him for the sake of the Gu family.
If Gu Yaobai was not a Gu, then they would need to give their deals a second thought.
As such, many of the joint orders had stalled, causing Gu Yaobai to run around in the last few days.

When Gu Yaobai was scrambling, Gu Shao was sitting inside the office of NTN, sipping tea casually with Gu Xian.
