Even now, she can't imagine how her optimistic, strong, and never-say-die mother could choose to jump off a building.

She was walking along the lake towards the Gu family residence when suddenly, Gu Shanshan's cold, sharp voice rang out:

"Gu Momo! How dare you come back to the Li family?! You bitch! You're the one who got me kicked out of the Li family!"

"Aren't you ashamed?" Gu Momo turned her head and saw Gu Shanshan's fierce face. She spoke in a low voice:

"So what if you're kicked out? Shouting like a shrew, Gu Shanshan, I'm ashamed for you!"

Gu Shanshan was hit where it hurt, and her expression turned into a grimace. "Gu Momo! Who do you think you are? All you know is to use despicable means to seduce Zhan Ting and get those two ignorant brats to help you. What other tricks do you have?"

Gu Momo stared coldly at her, her narrow eyes blazing with fury, her face so dark it seemed to be able to see through to the ink. "When it comes to despicable acts, can I compare to you? Back then, you took advantage of my weakness during childbirth to steal my two children and brought them to the Li family to claim credit! What, now you know how to feel sorry for them? Don't worry, I told you, I will never let you die so easily!"

For the past five years, she has lived in fear and anxiety for her four babies, spending every day in agony. She also wants Gu Shanshan to experience that feeling of being worse than dead!

"You..." Gu Shanshan was so frightened that she stammered. Suddenly, she seemed to see something, a calculating glint flashed in her eyes, and her voice became gentle:

"MoMo, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

Gu Momo noticed the glint in Gu Shanshan's eyes, and with a coquettish smile, she approached Gu Shanshan, "Oh, are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand..."

She deliberately pressed herself close to Gu Shanshan, and a fierce glint flashed in Gu Shanshan's eyes before she plunged headfirst into the swimming pool behind her.

With a loud crash, water splashed everywhere, leaving water stains all over Gu Momo's light-colored jeans.

From the swimming pool came Gu Shanshan's desperate cries for help, "Help...help me! Mr. Ting, save me!"

Gu Momo knew without a second thought that Li Zhanting had arrived. A breathtaking smile appeared on her crimson lips as she squatted down, grabbed Gu Shanshan's hair, and forcefully pushed Gu Shanshan's head into the water!

"Ugh!" Gu Shanshan struggled desperately!

She never expected that Gu Momo would actually push her directly into the water!

She frantically grabbed at the air with both hands, but couldn't grasp anything. Terrified, she tried to speak and call out, but as soon as she opened her mouth, icy water poured into her mouth and nose, choking her and almost making her faint.

Gu Momo turned her head casually, "Mr. Ting, are you planning to be gentle with the ladies, or do you prefer to see them cruelly destroyed?"

Li Zhanting put his hands in his pockets, his tall and straight body standing upright. His neatly pressed suit trousers accentuated his shapely and straight legs. Standing there, he was like a natural walking clothes hanger, with an extremely good physique.

His deep eyes held a playful chuckle, as if he were admiring Gu Momo's actions, his gaze full of mockery.

"Even if we are to cherish jade, we should cherish the jade in you, not the mud in her."

It has to be said that Momo's methods of dealing with people are too ruthless and too satisfying; he actually became addicted to watching them.

A mocking smile flickered in Gu Momo's eyes, and her gaze towards Gu Shanshan suddenly turned icy: "See? He doesn't even have eyes for you, so don't try to pull these tricks on me again!"

Gu Shanshan absolutely hated Gu Momo. She had lost to Gu Momo, and lost utterly!

Gu Momo pulled Gu Shanshan out of the water just as she was about to lose consciousness:

"Tell me! Where are your parents? Make them come out to see me right now, or you're not getting out of the water today!"

"Master Ting, help... um..." Gu Shanshan recovered and had just opened her mouth to call for help when Gu Momo pushed her back into the water.

Just then, Gu Zhenting and Dong Qingrun rushed over from a distance. When they saw Gu Momo pushing Gu Shanshan into the water, they panicked and shouted, "Gu Momo, what are you doing? Let Shanshan go!"

Seeing the two of them running towards Gu Momo, Li Zhanting calmly stretched out his foot.

Gu Zhenting and Dong Qingrun immediately fell face-first into the mud.

The two scrambled to their feet, looking disheveled. When they turned and saw Li Zhanting, they were slightly taken aback at first, then cried out, "Master Ting, please do justice for my daughter Shanshan! Gu Momo is trying to kill my daughter! Master Ting, please save her!"

His daughter, Shanshan? Li Zhanting's obsidian-like eyes turned icy, and his cold, handsome face became terrifyingly gloomy.

He has a daughter, Gu Shanshan? Then isn't Momo his daughter too?

What exactly did he take Momo for?!

Li Zhanting's cold voice seemed to come from hell, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips, "Someone, Momo's hand is tired from being held down. You guys hold her down for her. You can let go when they've explained what Momo wants to ask!"

The bodyguard following behind him immediately stepped forward to replace Gu Momo, saying, "Miss Momo."

Gu Momo stood up, shaking her hands and moving her wrists. "Make sure she gets a breath every two or three seconds, don't let her suffocate, understand?"

Gu Zhenting was furious when he saw this!

Gu Momo treated her daughter Gu Shanshan like this, yet Li Zhanting not only didn't blame Gu Momo, he even hired help for her?

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Gu Zhenting rushed up in a fit of rage and slapped Gu Momo across the face, yelling, "Gu Momo, you bitch..."

Gu Momo raised her foot with a domineering gesture and kicked Gu Zhenting to the ground!

She placed her foot on Gu Zhenting's chest, looking down at him with the air of a victor:

"Tell me! Why did my mother marry you back then?!"

Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Rong family. Even if she escapes from the Rong family, she doesn't need to stay in a small place like the Gu family.

Furthermore, considering the fearful expression on Old Master Li's face when he mentioned her mother, the reason why her mother stayed with the Gu family back then is probably worth investigating further...

"Your mother?" Gu Zhenting and Dong Qingrun looked at each other.

Dong Qingrun was clearly confused, but Gu Zhenting's eyes flashed with panic.

Suddenly, Gu Zhenting's eyes turned panicked yet determined. "Your mother was after my wealth and family background back then. What's wrong with her marrying me?! I was a rich, handsome, and successful man when I was young, okay?!"

Although Dong Qingrun was being disingenuous, he still chimed in, "Exactly! He was so handsome when he was young. I was captivated by his good looks back then. It's normal for your mother to be attracted to his appearance. Who doesn't like handsome men!"

Handsome? Gu Momo sneered, "Fine, you won't talk, huh? If you don't talk, Gu Shanshan won't be getting out of the water!"

Just then, Gu Shanshan was lifted up by the bodyguard to catch her breath. "Ah! Dad, help!"

Two seconds later, he was pushed back into the water!

But Gu Shanshan's appearance clearly showed that she couldn't hold on any longer!

Gu Zhenting's heart leaped into his throat. With Gu Shanshan's life threatened, Gu Zhenting couldn't care less about anything else:

"I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?!"
