When Gu Rong met her gaze, ignoring what others thought, she sat down on the ground and recounted everything Gu Jiazhen had done in Beijing, as well as the grievances Gu Rong had harbored over the years.

Less than two months after her mother's death, Gu Jiazhen's mother entered the family. Gu Jiazhen was the same age as her, and they looked alike. It was known that Gu Jiazhen was an illegitimate child.

Bai Rou and Gu Jiazhen gave her no way to survive, forcing her and her brother to do laundry and cook, and they would be beaten if they didn't do it well.

And Gu Xing was forced to go to the countryside, and was also required to provide her with food and money to support her younger sister, while she never got to eat or use any of these things at home, and could only eat spoiled food every day while working.

When she finally found a job, Gu Jiazhen and her mother registered her for the job in her place and forced her to take it away. They wouldn't give her food for several days, and she almost starved to death. Forced into a corner, she took action and then severed ties with her family.

Each of these crimes, however small, was accompanied by Gu Rong stretching out her arm to reveal the scars on it.

Seeing this, and looking at the somewhat similar faces of Gu Jiazhen and Gu Xing, everyone was completely certain that Gu Jiazhen was an illegitimate child.

In this day and age, the things people taboo most are promiscuous relationships and illegitimate children, and Gu Jiazhen's family has it all.

In particular, they falsely accused Gu Rong, trying to smear her reputation, so everyone else quietly distanced themselves from Gu Jiazhen.

Gu Xing, standing to the side, looked at the injury on her sister's arm and couldn't stop the tears from falling: "It's all my fault. I should have brought you with me to the countryside. It's all my fault."

Gu Rong spoke with tears streaming down her face, but there was no sadness in her eyes.

She felt a little awkward being held in Gu Xing's arms.

Feeling the dampness on his shoulder, he stiffly raised his hand and patted Gu Xing's back: "It has nothing to do with you. It's Gu Jiazhen and his parents' fault. Now we're severing ties, and we can just live our own lives from now on."

Gu Jiazhen didn't expect Cao Baobao to ask directly, and she was even more surprised that Gu Rong would say such a thing.

Gu Jiazhen didn't quite understand the way others looked at her.

It's clearly not as Gu Rong said. Her mother once said that the one who isn't loved is the mistress, and since her father didn't love Rong Xin, Rong Xin was the mistress in her parents' relationship.

If her parents were wrong, then it wouldn't have been Rongxin who died, and it wouldn't have been Gu Rong who was bullied and verbally abused all these years. She clearly did nothing wrong.

Gu Rong caused her father's injury, her and her mother's humiliation, and her being sent to the countryside; it was Gu Rong who was at fault.

But the way the other educated youth looked at her clearly indicated that it was her fault.

She did nothing wrong, and neither did her mother. Gu Jiazhen instantly erupted: "No, my mother did nothing wrong. It was clearly Gu Rong's fault. Have you forgotten how she treated me at the meeting point?"

Everyone saw what happened from beginning to end. Although Gu Rong's actions were extreme, wasn't it Gu Jiazhen who wanted to start the trouble first?

Seeing everyone moving further away from her, Gu Jiazhen, who had never been so wronged, burst into tears.

Seeing that things had calmed down, Han Zhengguo quickly called for people to collect food and hurriedly drove the people away, fearing that the disturbance might escalate again.

But he had to tell the captain that Gu Jiazhen and Gu Rong, those two sworn enemies, had to be separated.

Otherwise, if they fight every time they meet, the village will probably never be able to stay peaceful again.

Rumors spread quickly, but they are also debunked quickly.

The only one who was unhappy was Gu Jiazhen.

She's unhappy because of her own actions; no one else has time to bother comforting this troublemaker.

After collecting their belongings, Gu Rong and Gu Xing went home.

Gu Xing prepared a lot of food for her younger sister's first meal after she arrived.

Braised rabbit, stir-fried eggs with green peppers, braised pork, sweet and sour fish.

These dishes would be more lavish than anything you'd eat during Chinese New Year in an ordinary household.

Normally, Gu Xing wouldn't eat so well; he hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

During meals, Gu Xing rarely ate meat; he mostly ate the side dishes.

Seeing that Gu Rong wasn't eating enough meat, they would use serving chopsticks to put some on her plate, saying, "Look how thin you are, eat more meat to nourish yourself."

She picked up several pieces of meat and put them in Gu Xing's bowl: "I'm slim, you're the one who's skinny. You're getting married soon, you're the one who needs to eat more."

Startled by her sister's retort, Gu Xing's ears instantly turned red, and she ate her rice with a touch of embarrassment.

The once cozy dining environment was completely ruined.

One of them laughed, and the other looked embarrassed. Gu Rong found Gu Xing's expression quite amusing.

Axi watched as Gu Rong, who even flirted with his own brother, thought he was truly a pervert.

However, considering the situation here, Ah Xi couldn't help but remind her: "Master, you are currently in the center of the plot."

Your brother and sister-in-law's family are the contrast to the lucky heroine in the book; they all died tragically in the end.

Gu Rong: "What is my identity inside?"

A-Xi: "The younger sister of the son-in-law in the control group has little screen time. After her brother and sister-in-law died, she was taken back to the city."

Gu Rong thought for a moment. Now that she had arrived at the destination, the mission should be triggered: "My mission is to save Gu Xing and Han Xinyi."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xi couldn't help but shudder.

I glanced at the task I had just created on my panel, and figured it was probably unlikely that anyone would notice anything amiss!

Suppressing her panic, Ah Xi said, "We have detected that we have arrived at the mission location. The mission has been sent to your mission panel. You can open the system panel to view it."

Upon seeing this, Gu Rong opened the panel and saw a series of tasks on it.

[Task 1: Host Gu Rong must survive until the end of the story.]

[Mission 2: Save the villain Gu Xing and let him live until the finale]

[Mission 3: Rescue the villain Han Xinyi and ensure her survival until the finale]

[Mission 4: Rescue cannon fodder Sun Yihua...]

[Mission 5: Rescue cannon fodder Han Zhenghu...]
