At the Gu family……
Gu Xi dared not go out recently and had been staying at home.
The room was a mess now.
She sat down at the dresser. Expensive cosmetics were everywhere, and some had even fallen to the floor.
Yet she didn’t seem to notice.
She stared at her phone tightly.
On the screen, the girl was lying on the boy’s shoulder, and the boy stood with his head sideways and was talking to her. Passersby around them were blurred, and they seemed to be the only ones left in the whole world at this time.
The phone was smashed against the wall, bounced, and hit the wardrobe, then ultimately did not avoid the tragedy of a cracked screen.
“Ahh!!”
Gu Xi put her arms around her head, then swept the things on the dressing table completely to the floor.
A strong smell of perfume filled the air after a wave of rustling sounds.
“Wen Di!”
“Xixi, Xixi?”
Father Gu knocked on the door outside. He heard Gu Xi’s shouting and directly smashed the door open.
“Xixi, what happened to you?”
Gu Xi held her head and shouted to vent.
“Xixi, calm down.” Father Gu pulled her up from the pile of broken glass and pressed her against the bed. “Xixi, what’s wrong with you?”
Gu Xi grabbed Father Gu in a panic. “Dad, am I going to jail? I don’t want to go to jail.”
“No, you won’t.” Father Gu comforted her. “I’ll find a way, I won’t let you go to jail. I promise.”
“Really?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
Gu Xi gasped and relaxed a little.
When Father Gu breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Gu Xi’s cruel voice. “I want Wen Di dead. I want her ruined, Dad, I want her ruined!”
Why could she be so glamorous?
Why should she marry into the Gu family with her basebred mother? Who had taken her mother’s place!
Why could she shine in the entertainment industry?
Why!
She hated Wen Di!
She was going to trample her under her feet!
Father Gu also thought that the situation was all because of Wen Di.
If she hadn’t stirred up trouble in the middle, how could A-Xiu not forgive him?
How could Xixi get to this point!
Although Father Gu had asked for help from all kinds of connections, the result was not very optimistic.
After all, Ming Shu didn’t withdraw the lawsuit, didn’t accept mediation, and didn’t even want to meet them.
They had to wait for the final verdict.
After the verdict was released, Father Gu used his connections to get Gu Xi out of prison.
But for sure, Gu Xi couldn’t appear on the screen again.
This was no doubt a heavy blow to Gu Xi.
If she couldn’t appear on the screen, how could she trample Wen Di under her feet?
Gu Xi thought of Cui Jingyang.
She went to Cui Jingyang in disguise.
However, Hengfeng Group was undergoing major changes recently; Cui Jingyang couldn’t even protect himself.
Only then did he realize that there were so many people around him who were dissatisfied with him.
Gu Xi did not even see Cui Jingyang.
After learning about Cui Jingyang’s current situation, Gu Xi knew that it was also no use of turning to him.
Was she really going to hide away?
No……
She was unconvinced!……
Three months later……
The President of Hengfeng Group was replaced.
Although Cui Jingyang had not been kicked out, he had fallen from power and all his glory became history.
He was what they called him on the Internet now: an abnormal loser.
Loser……
He was a loser……
“Big brother.”
The shiny Second Mister Cui stood in front of him with a smile on his face, which was somewhat similar to his.
“How did you get yourself into such a state?”
“Have you come to laugh at me?” Cui Jingyang raised his malicious and insidious eyes. “You’d better kill me now, or you’ll regret it.”
“I would like to.” Second Mister Cui shrugged. “You used to stand high and look at us brothers beneath your nose, and now……”
Second Mister Cui chuckled and prolonged his tone. “But I dare not take your life, you are wanted by the little grandaunt.”
Cui Jingyang frowned.
Little grandaunt……
Who?
“There’s someone behind you?” Cui Jingyang reacted and stood up from the floor. He grabbed Second Mister Cui by the collar. “Who is it?”
“Big brother, don’t get excited!”
“Who was scheming against me!”
Second Mister Cui didn’t struggle and just let Cui Jingyang grab him.
He answered slowly. “You also know her, brother.”
He knew her?
“Who is she?”
“Wen Di.”
Wen…… Wen Di?
How could it be her? How could she be so capable?
“She gave me a lot of things. She pushed me to where I am today.”
Second Mister Cui didn’t know why the little grandaunt wanted him to stress that it was she who had done all of this.
But since the little grandaunt asked for that, he dared not ignore her.
She took the blame for him and he was happy to see that.
Second Mister Cui broke Cui Jingyang’s hold and pushed him away, smoothing his ruffled collar.
“Brother, we are at least brothers, I won’t go too far. I’ll just let you go.”
Cui Jingyang fell to sit on the floor.
How come it was Wen Di……
In the evening, Cui Jingyang saw Ming Shu.
Ming Shu still came in through the window, and met with Cui Jingyang’s eyes as soon as she landed.
“Ah…… You scared me.”
She jumped through the window and dusted off her hands, then asked smilingly, “Are you waiting for me?”
“Wen Di……” Cui Jingyang sat in the chair with an unknown expression. “What are you doing here? You also want to kick me when I’m down? Are you still not satisfied with my situation?”
“Nope.”
Cui Jingyang: “.……”
Ming Shu smiled gently. “I’ve come to put you out of your misery.”
Cui Jingyang: “.……”
Ming Shu took out the golden stone and walked toward Cui Jingyang.
She continued with smiling eyes, “Let’s stop talking nonsense and get it over with, then we’ll part ways.”
Cui Jingyang watched her approach in silence, as if he had seen through life and death, detached from the world.
Just as Ming Shu walked half a meter away from him……
Cui Jingyang suddenly got up and stabbed toward Ming Shu with a knife shining with cold light.
But the knife, which should have pierced her, pierced the air.
The girl who had been standing in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Cui Jingyang’s heart jumped wildly.
The fine hairs on his body rose up, and his instincts told him that he was in danger.
But it was too late……
Danger attacked from behind.
“Ahh……”
Cui Jingyang screamed and was kicked to the floor.
Ming Shu occupied a commanding position. “I was talking to you nicely, you had to start a fight, but you can’t beat me, so what exactly do you want to do?”
Cui Jingyang: “.……”
His back hurt……
Cui Jingyang thought his waist was broken.
He couldn’t move.
Ming Shu squatted down in front of him. “Are you very regretful that you tried to force me out for a woman in the first place?”
Cui Jingyang gritted his teeth.
Did he regret it?
Perhaps!
If he had not provoked her, how could he have come to this end!
“It’s okay.”
Ming Shu threw the golden stone into the air and caught it again, a warm smile relaxing her eyes and eyebrows.
“Most people who meet me will regret it anyway. You are just one of them.”
The golden stone approached the space between his eyes.
Strange and familiar memories poured in.
The shock in his eyes turned to horror.
