Chapter 18: No One Will Be Spared
Then, a tall and slender figure got out of the car. He was wearing a well-cut suit that outlined his broad shoulders and slender waist. The buttons of his gray-blue shirt were still buttoned at the collar as meticulously as before. There was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, but one could not feel any warmth from him. Instead, he was filled with a cold and strange aura.
The girl standing on the steps looked disheveled and thin, as if she would fall to the ground at the slightest breeze. She tilted her head, and when she felt the blood on her cheek, her dark pupils shrank slightly.
I would rather come here and be humble than give in.
After Zheng Lan saw Gu Sihan, she quickly chased Fu Jiu away. She couldn't let Gu Sihan notice anything, otherwise Xu Zhenhua would definitely punish her.
"Get out of here right now and stop embarrassing yourself here. I don't have a daughter as shameless as you."
Fu Jiu's expression was calm as she put the cash in her bag. Even though she was suffering humiliation, her slender figure remained graceful and straight as she walked towards Gu Sihan step by step from the villa.
Gu Sihan grabbed her hand and looked at her forehead: "Are you so stubborn?"
When Zheng Lan saw Gu Sihan's actions, her face was filled with disbelief.
How could this little girl Fu Jiu know Gu Sihan?
But before she could figure it out, she saw Gu Sihan fiercely shake her hand away. Although Zheng Lan didn't know what the two of them said, she still felt relieved when she saw this scene.
Fu Jiu went straight to the hospital. After the doctor bandaged her wound, she returned to the ward. When the old lady saw her, she waved at her. Fu Jiu quickly stepped forward and held the old lady's weathered hands. "Grandma~"
"Jiuer~"
Fu Jiu was a little excited when she heard this.
Although she didn't explain it clearly, Fu Jiu still understood what the old lady was saying: "Jiu'er, have you gone to see your stepmother?"
Fu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded truthfully.
The old lady sighed.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I won't beg that woman anymore. I'll find a way to pay for your surgery."
The old lady squeezed Fu Jiu's hand tightly. "Grandma is already half buried, so stop bothering me. Jiu'er, you keep asking me how your father died, and Grandma said it was suicide."
"Grandma, what do you want to say?"
The old lady sighed and said weakly: "Your father didn't commit suicide out of fear of punishment, he was framed."
Fu Jiu was shocked when she heard this: "What?"
From childhood to adulthood, the story Fu Jiu heard most often was about the daughter of a labor camp inmate.
At first she would resist, but over the years, she has gradually become indifferent.
"It was that woman Zheng Lan and Xu Zhenhua. They were the ones who killed your father... cough cough cough..." As the old lady became excited, she began to cough non-stop.
Fu Jiu was stunned when she heard the news. It took her a while to process it. She looked convinced and asked, "Grandma...are you telling the truth?"
"When your father was sent to prison, I went to see him the day before. He said he hadn't embezzled public funds at all. It was Zheng Lan and Xu Zhenhua who did it..."
"Grandma, and who called you at that time."
The old lady shook her head. "I don't know who it was. You called me and told me you were in danger. I rushed out to look for you, and then I was hit by a car."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A man, his voice sounds a bit like Lin Yu." At this point, the old lady said: "By the way, Jiuer, how are you and Lin Yu?"
Lin Yu~
Fu Jiu's heart was filled with anger at the moment. Her hands were tightly gripping the bed sheets, her knuckles had turned white, and her inner emotions could be seen.
She won't let any of the Xu family go.
