When Lin Yue'e first arrived, she had an elegant hairstyle and wore a glass-type jadeite bracelet. At first glance, she was a graceful and charming lady.

At this moment, he had disgustingly smeared lipstick on half of his chin, his hair was a messy, indescribable dishevelment, and his clothes were torn in several places. He looked no different from a beggar on the street.

"Mingyue! Auntie knows you resent me. You've vented your anger by hitting me this time. Let's just forget about everything that happened before, okay?"

"I'm sleepy, you can all get lost!" Gu Mingyue said softly without even lifting her eyelids.

A flash of resentment crossed Lin Yue'e's eyes, but she immediately put on a pitiful look.

After being severely beaten, she realized that Gu Mingyue was not easy to fool, so she simply told the truth.

"Here's the thing, Xiaotian, he... he has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant."

"Please help Auntie, can you go to the hospital to get a tissue matching done? It won't hurt, and there are no side effects at all."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinxue and Gu Zihao exchanged a glance, finding a hint of joy in each other's eyes, which even lessened their pain.

Serves you right!

They actually already knew about this; Gu Jianshu had told them on his way here.

Gu Qinxue and her companion were both shrewd; they neither rushed to agree nor to refuse, only saying that it all depended on their elder sister's opinion. If she agreed to undergo tissue matching, they would go.

In fact, they did not want Gu Mingyue to agree to the matching.

She even silently cursed the illegitimate child to die soon, so that her father would only have these three children, and then all the Gu family's money would be theirs.

“Mingyue, your aunt only has one son. He… he’s your own brother too! Blood is thicker than water, you can’t just abandon him, can you?”

Gu Mingyue snorted coldly; she naturally knew why these two scumbags had come here.

In her past life, although she resented the two scumbags, she was kind enough to think that the harm should not befall their descendants, so she hesitated for a week before agreeing to undergo tissue matching.

As a result, the two scumbags revealed their true colors after using her, and the scumbag father continued to ignore her.

The mistress and stepmother secretly hired people to suppress the online store that she relied on for survival. Before the apocalypse even arrived, the online store, which had good sales, went bankrupt due to too many negative reviews.

This was also the primary reason why she didn't have money to buy supplies in the early stages of the apocalypse.

Since I've been given a second chance at life...

"What a joke! Why should I care about the life of an illegitimate child who stole my father's love and squeezed out my family's property!" Gu Mingyue looked down at Lin Yue'e, her voice icy cold.

Lin Yue'e may not be a good person, but she does have a maternal instinct. Seeing Gu Mingyue's attitude, she shuffled over to Gu Mingyue on her knees and begged her.

Back then, she moved into the Gu family while heavily pregnant, how ostentatious and boastful she was! Who would have thought that she would one day be so humble, begging for help from the original wife and children!

"Wife, let's go. Why should we beg such a heartless beast?"

Gu Jianshu found Lin Yue'e's humble and disheveled appearance utterly unattractive, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He got up to help her up.

“If Xiaotian really can’t go on, he’ll know we’ve done our best. Even if he harbors resentment and seeks revenge, it won’t be our turn.”

In short, it's as if if this illegitimate child dies, it's Gu Mingyue's fault.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinxue and the other person were overjoyed. They wished the illegitimate child would die tomorrow, so that Gu Jianshu would take them back to inherit the family business for his retirement.

They all looked at Gu Mingyue with delight.

So when his sister changed her ways and hit them, it was actually a ruse to make her seem particularly heartless and to discourage them from trying to save their illegitimate child.

It was all for the sake of the three of them so that they could better inherit the Gu family fortune. They misunderstood their sister!

My sister is so cunning!

Seeing the excited looks in Gu Qinxue's eyes, Gu Mingyue knew what they were really thinking: they were dreaming of Gu Jianshu taking them home!

Little did they know that Gu Jianshu, in his youth, considered himself quite handsome and had many ambiguous relationships with other women.

After becoming wealthy, he became increasingly promiscuous, fathering at least dozens of illegitimate children. He didn't care at all whether these children were doing well or not.

Even when he married Lin Yue'e, he weighed the pros and cons, complaining that his wife, who had shared his hardships, could not generate any profit for him.

Lin Yue'e, however, had a high-ranking official father. After marrying him, she colluded with her father-in-law, who was also a high-ranking official. The company grew larger and larger until it went public, and her ambition never stopped.

If it weren't for his fear of Lin Yue'e's high-ranking father, he wouldn't have even come to see the three of them and asked them to get matched with a certain type of body.

"Auntie Xiao San, please stop crying. You look so ugly crying. If my mother knew in the afterlife that she was squeezed out of the Gu family because of your appearance, I'm afraid she would be resentful and come looking for you!"

Gu Mingyue's sarcastic words left Lin Yue'e unsure whether to cry or not. Her hand froze at the corner of her eye as she looked at Gu Mingyue.

"To keep that illegitimate child from bothering my mother, I have to agree to your request!" Gu Mingyue pulled Lin Yue'e up from the ground, a kind smile on her face.

Her appearance inherited all the best features from both her parents; her skin was delicate and fair, her nose was small and exquisite, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes could dazzle people when they looked into them.

Even when she's yelling at you, you can't bring yourself to say a harsh word to her face.

Lin Yue'e admitted that Gu Mingyue was exceptionally beautiful. Although they were all Gu Jianshu's children, her features were much more delicate than the others. Even at her age, she felt a little envious and jealous.

"You really agree? Auntie is truly grateful to you from the bottom of her heart." She looked down and rummaged through her expensive handbag, taking out a bank card from inside.

"Auntie really owes you so much. Here's 100,000 yuan. You can split it equally with your younger siblings!"

Even a small mosquito bite is still meat, so Gu Mingyue accepted the bank card and put it in her pocket, despite the puzzled looks from her two younger siblings.

“However, I have three conditions,” Gu Mingyue said slowly.

Lin Yue'e's happy expression froze.

"Wh...what conditions?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Gu Mingyue turned and went back to the bedroom, then returned to the living room with a black and white photograph in her arms. The photograph showed a middle-aged woman with wrinkles around her eyes, yet still beautiful, wearing a pearl necklace and exuding elegance.

When Gu Jianshu and Lin Yue'e looked at the black and white portrait, their hearts pounded like drums, and the sweltering summer heat felt like they had fallen into an icy abyss.

Gu Mingyue looked at the two people's extremely guilty expressions, and the corners of her delicate lips slightly turned up.

"My first condition is that you slap yourself hard in front of my mother's portrait until you bleed!"

"My second condition is that, Dad, you must kneel down in front of Mom's portrait, apologize for not helping her when she was dying, and kowtow ten times!"

"The third condition is that since you divorced my mother, you have not paid a single child support payment in the past fifteen years. My mother and I have been struggling to support this family."

"Now that your Gu Group's assets have reached 50 billion, it's not unreasonable for you to compensate each of us three siblings with 1% of the shares!"
