Chapter 77 Killing a Second Time

“What’s wrong with my niece? She’s humiliated Qiaoniang time and time again. I’ll beat her to death today to clean up my brother’s house.”

As Master Gu was speaking, he raised his hand to strike again, just then Madam Ji stepped forward.

She stood in front of Gu Shuyan, leaned her face forward, and said coldly, "Second brother, are you planning to kill Shuer a second time?"

Ji's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in Gu Ershu's heart.

Seeing his hand gently lowered, Aunt Qiao's initial gloating turned into surprise.

What do you mean by killing Gu Shuyan a second time? Does that mean Erlang had laid a hand on that little bitch Gu Shuyan before?

The blow that Gu Shuyan received from Second Master Gu was not light, but she didn't care about the burning pain on her face.

Hehehe!

Gu Shuyan suddenly laughed, her gaze towards Second Master Gu filled with mockery.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on her.

"What are you laughing at? You still have the nerve to laugh."

With Second Master Gu backing her up, Aunt Qiao felt even more confident. Looking at Gu Shuyan, who seemed to be possessed, she put her hands on her hips and looked more like a stewardess.

“Father, I really shouldn’t have let you agree to let them come back. Before Grandfather passed away, he said that he would no longer acknowledge Second Uncle as his son. At first, I didn’t understand why he would say that, but now I understand.”

Gu Shuyan's words left Uncle Gu and Aunt Qiao completely bewildered, and even their three children looked at Gu Shuyan with confusion.

"Gu Shuyan, what do you mean? Explain yourself."

Uncle Gu pointed at Gu Shuyan with a face full of resentment. How could Father say such a thing?

He was his most beloved son; how could his father possibly disown him?

"Second Uncle, do you not understand or do you not want to understand? Have you forgotten what happened back then so quickly? To live on the blood and bones of your own relatives and still be so self-righteous, Shuyan really admires Second Uncle."

Gu Shuyan smiled brightly as she spoke, as if she were talking about something ordinary, but those present who knew the truth were clearly quite excited.

"Yan girl, stop talking."

The old lady looked somber, clearly not wanting to hear about what happened back then.

Gu Shuyan didn't continue speaking, and Uncle Gu didn't ask any more questions.

"Second Uncle, you'd better watch yourself! Your family has been ruined and you'll regret it for the sake of a woman."

Gu Shuyan's last sentence carried a hint of warning. After speaking, she ignored Gu Ershu's reaction and walked a few steps to the old lady.

With this farce, naturally no one enjoyed the meal.

"Little sister, how about your cousin takes you shopping tonight?"

Ji Wenxuan winked at Gu Shuyan, and Gu Shuyan knew what he meant and didn't refuse. She hadn't eaten well either, so she figured she might as well go if someone was treating her.

She thought Ji Wenxuan would take her to some fancy restaurant, but to her surprise, he took her to a wonton stall by the moat.

"Cousin, you're so stingy."

Despite her complaints, Gu Shuyan obediently sat down.

"Miss Gu, please try to understand me! I don't have a father who's a high-ranking official like you. My money comes from your uncle's pension. How can you bear to spend that money?"

Ji Wenxuan had this "I'm poor, I have no money" attitude, but then he brought up his uncle, so what could she do? Was she saying she didn't care about the compensation money she received for saving her husband?

I'm afraid Ji Wenxuan didn't disagree; his uncle was the first to crawl out of the ground.
