Gu Zhuyang's slap was too hard and fierce. Gu Yanxue felt a buzzing in her ears and a sharp pain in her cheek. She involuntarily stumbled backward and bumped into the carved iron corner of the princess bed.

Her ears were ringing, her vision was blurring in waves, and her cheeks were throbbing with pain, not to mention the sudden, sharp pain in her back.

She reached out and touched the wrought iron carving, which pricked her right in the back!

"You hit me? You dare hit me!"

It took Gu Yanxue a long time to wake up from the buzzing in her head. In an instant, her face turned red, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she glared at Tong Su. She then pounced on her!

I'm going to beat you to death!

She has never been beaten in her life. Back in her hometown, her uncles and aunts relied on her father's influence to do business, and they dared not lay a finger on her.

Gu Yanxue was never a kind person. She had always pretended to be a well-bred lady just because she was afraid that others would look down on her.

Now that there were no outsiders in the house, why did she need to pretend? She immediately grabbed a decorative vase from behind the door and smashed it at Tongsu!

A loud bang of shattering porcelain echoed throughout the entire floor!

The sound could be heard clearly in the study downstairs. Mr. Gu was reviewing documents and had just picked up a bowl of tea to drink when he heard the noise. He was so startled that he spilled the tea all over the table.

"What's going on? Who's causing trouble there! Is it Gu Zhuyang?!"

Mr. Gu flew into a rage, hurriedly pushed back his chair, stood up, and ran upstairs, cursing as he ran.

He was not young, but his movements were still quite agile. However, after going downstairs, he was startled.

There were broken pieces of porcelain scattered on the floor outside Gu Yanxue's room. Gu Zhuyang covered his head and hid behind her. Gu Yanxue grabbed things and threw them at him like a madwoman, relentlessly hurling insults at him.

"Yanxue! What are you doing? Stop right there!"

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

Gu Yanxue gritted her teeth and turned her head. When she saw that it was her father, she was overjoyed. She twisted her body and ran over, grabbed his sleeve, stomped her feet, and refused to give in.

"Dad, Uncle! Help me beat this little slut to death! She dared to slap me? What kind of person is she? I'll scratch her face until it's bruised and battered!"

She almost let it slip, but thankfully she quickly corrected herself.

Gu Yanxue's mother was just one of Gu's father's secretaries back then, and she got her position by virtue of her beauty, so naturally she didn't have much manners.

Later, in order to take care of the two siblings, she stayed in her hometown in the countryside. She only cared about her own appearance and rarely paid attention to the upbringing of the two siblings.

Gu Yanxue often fooled around with his cousins, and even learned a lot of swear words from his aunts.

At this moment, even Mr. Gu frowned when she said this.

"What's going on? What are you doing? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Mr. Gu spoke seriously.

He had always wanted his family to marry into the Ye family. Previously, Young Master Ye had clearly shown his appreciation for Gu Zhuyang, and Gu's father thought the matter could be accomplished, so he was unusually kind to Tongsu.

Gu Yanxue actually said she'd scratch her face? If she scratched Gu Zhuyang's face, how could she marry Young Master Ye!

Even if Gu Yanxue is his favorite daughter, what does it matter compared to a marriage that can bring her tangible benefits?

Mr. Gu felt that it was nothing serious for girls to play around. He considered it carefully and decided to give both sides a good whack to quell the matter.

But when he looked up, he saw his poor eldest daughter leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face.
