Chapter 147 - I Must Have Revenge!

Gu Jinlin thought about it. Of course she should seek vengeance!

Then he looked at the obedient, pretty, little cousin before him. His previous impression of her was that she was a gentle, docile and mature girl. He felt that this younger cousin had changed drastically.

In the past, the older cousins were always worried that this young cousin would be bullied. But today, he suddenly realized that his younger cousin was no easy target.

“Yao Yao, have they bullied you badly recently? What did they do to you?”

His younger cousin’s nature must have turned cold after being greatly provoked, or why else would she change so drastically?

In the past, she had disliked her mother, Zhang Xiaohui, but had never hated her. She had even grieved over the fact that Zhang Xiaohui only loved Gu Ruoqing, but not her. But now…

Gu Qingyao did not hide anything from him. She said, “The last time Grandfather asked Father to go to town to see a patient in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing set a trap for me. They brought many people to try to catch me in an indecent act, but they failed. Fortunately, Elder Brother Beihan happened to be passing by and rescued me!”

Gu Jinlin’s steps faltered and his demeanor changed. “Is that true?”

Gu Qingyao smiled mockingly. “Why would I deceive you? I think my father has found out. Although he hasn’t said anything, Father knows all about it. Later on, he discovered there was something going on between Zhang Xiaohui and Wang Guozhu, so he just let her go. He was playing along when she asked for a divorce, so he could cut ties with Zhang Xiaohui.”

Gu Jinlin clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles cracked. He was burning with rage. “Is she mad? You’re her daughter. How… how could she do that to you?”

If Yao Yao was caught in an improper relationship with a man, she would die. In fact, she would die in the most shameful way possible.

The Gu family were landlords. If something like that happened, it would bring down the entire family.

Gu Qingyao smiled indifferently. “So what if I’m her daughter? In these times, plenty of sons denounce their fathers and sever their relationship because they’re afraid the old folks will incriminate them. Perhaps Zhang Xiaohui doesn’t love me because I’m not really her daughter?

“Anyway, who cares! Father loves me. In the future, I will have only a father and no mother. The two of them won’t be related to me anymore. She never showed me any love, not even when I was young, so I’m not really sad that she left. Actually… I’m quite happy that I don’t have to see them at home in the future.”

Gu Jinlin was enraged. This mother-daughter duo was so vicious. They must certainly be punished.

Gu Jinlin’s heart ached as he looked at his younger cousin. “Girl, who cares if she loves you. Anyway, plenty of people in the Gu family love you, so one less doesn’t make a difference. With a mother like that, you’re better off without her.

“Don’t worry. We will all dote on you. If they dare to bully you again, I will certainly pay them back.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “Don’t get so worked up! I only told you this for your information. Don’t worry, I can take good care of myself. I’m not so easily bullied these days.

“Oh and don’t tell my Father! Father knows about what happened to me, but he probably doesn’t know that I already understand what happened. I think he’s worried that I’ll be frightened if I find out, so he hasn’t mentioned it.

“Now that Zhang Xiaohui is gone and I’m not related to her anymore, we don’t need to mention it again. As long as everyone is aware of it, it’s fine!”

Gu Jinlin nodded in agreement. But in his heart, he was thinking about how he could pay Zhang Xiaohui back. He certainly could not let her off so easily…
