The 312th round of operations concludes the countdown, ending in eight days.
"Cai Feng, is this what you call revenge? Crying in front of the daughter of a woman who betrayed your feelings, don't you feel ashamed?"
Ah Xin's icy voice came from outside. Gu Mingxia gently stroked the armrest of the sofa with one hand, not even glancing at Ah Xin who was walking in. She just looked down at the snow boots on her feet, and after a moment, a smile that seemed both cold and mocking appeared on her lips.
Ah Xin's appearance was perfectly timed, but it's good this way; it'll take care of them all at once, saving me the trouble of having to go find her separately later.
For some reason, Gu Mingxia still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about how Ah Xin had actually joined forces with outsiders to deal with her and the Gu family.
She wasn't doing it for herself, but for Gu Huaikun. Not long ago, Gu Huaikun had turned against her for Axin. He so wanted to make up for his guilt towards Axin and to be a good father in front of her. But she never expected that his sincerity was worth less than garbage in Axin's eyes.
Everything she did was to gain Gu Huaikun's trust, and then, just when he thought everything was getting better, she cruelly discarded his true feelings. It must have been heartbreaking for Gu Huaikun to do this, but what could he do?
The seeds sown in the past must now bear the fruits of their labor. Although that's what she said, Gu Mingxia still felt sorry for him. The shrewd and calculating Gu Huaikun actually died at the hands of the daughter he most wanted to make amends to and loved. It was a huge irony. Gu Mingxia wondered if he would regret having such naive thoughts about Axin in the afterlife.
"Didn't you say you'd only be happy if you destroyed the Gu family and Gu Mingxia? How come you don't want to do anything now after just listening to a few of her words?"
Ah Xin was wearing a bright red old-fashioned cheongsam with a black wool shawl over it. Her long curly hair was tied to one side, and her makeup was exceptionally heavy. Her blood-red lips were particularly striking in the cold night.
She swayed her hips as she walked over to Cai Feng's side. Looking at his dejected and tearful appearance, an indescribable sense of disgust and revulsion suddenly rose in her heart.
Why did she choose to work with such a person to deal with Gu Huaikun and Gu Mingxia? It seems that this was truly her biggest mistake.
"What's wrong? Have you lost your fighting spirit like this?"
Cai Feng stared blankly at the ground, as if he couldn't hear Ah Xin's words at all. He just remained sitting on the ground, not saying another word.
Perhaps he never hated Nan Lan. He simply blurred and faded that love in his heart because he couldn't have her. But once there's an opportunity, that love will sprout again and become even more intense, leaving no chance for escape or hiding.
That's how Cai Feng is. No matter what, Nan Lan always holds a certain place in his heart, a place that no one else can replace, a place that he himself has never realized.
I just wonder if Cai Feng had realized his feelings earlier, would he still have cooperated with A Xin to do such things to Gu Huaikun and Gu Mingxia?
But life never offers "what ifs," so no matter how much you regret it, you can't turn back time or start over.
What are you doing here?
Qin Yueru disapproved of A Xin's behavior. Before Gu Mingxia could speak, she spoke first. However, A Xin merely glanced at her and then coldly snorted.
"This is my home, so I can be wherever I want!"
After speaking, she stopped and looked Qin Yueru, who was dressed in plain clothes, up and down. After a long while, she spoke in a mocking tone.
"I just don't know what identity Miss Qin has shown up here? I don't remember my father marrying you!"
"you……"
"Yueru is my friend. I invited her to the Gu family. Why do I need your permission?"
When Qin Yueru was too angry to speak, Gu Mingxia slowly raised her head and looked at her calmly.
When she was young, the harm she caused to Bai Hua led to Bai Hua's suicide, which more or less affected A Xin's life. Gu Mingxia never denied this. However, one thing is one thing, and she would not forgive A Xin for what she had done during this period just because of her guilt towards A Xin, especially for colluding with Cai Feng to kill Gu Huaikun.
No matter how much she resented Gu Huaikun, or how much she didn't want to live with him, he was still her father, the closest person to her in this world. How could A Xin possibly kill him, or even have the heart to harm him?
This is what Gu Mingxia cares about most, so she absolutely cannot forgive A Xin. No matter how badly she wronged her back then, it cannot be an excuse to forgive A Xin.
"It seems that Miss Gu is indeed Miss Gu. She can actually treat her father's fourth and fifth children as good friends. This is truly admirable!"
Ah Xin's words were full of sarcasm, but Gu Mingxia pretended not to understand and continued to look at her calmly.
"Who I consider friends is my business. I wonder what brings you here?"
"Didn't you see it yourself? Can't I come to see him?"
"It's your right to come and see whoever you want, Ah Xin. I've reminded you before that matters concerning the Gu family can only be resolved within the Gu family. What do you mean by joining forces with outsiders?"
Ah Xin shrugged indifferently, turned her head to look at everyone in the living room, then sat down on the sofa and looked at Gu Mingxia with a charming expression.
"Don't you know what I mean? But if you want me to tell you in person, then I'll tell you clearly: I'm going to destroy the Gu Group and destroy you, Gu Mingxia. What, is that not allowed?"
"Ah Xin, what good will it do you to destroy the Gu Group? Don't forget, you're also surnamed Gu!"
"What good would it do me to keep the Gu Group around? Heh... Now you know I'm also surnamed Gu? All these years, when you guys with the surname Gu were wearing gold and silver and indulging in a life of luxury, did you ever think that I was surnamed Gu? When you were all enjoying your carefree vacations, did you ever think about what hardships I was going through? Now you're telling me I'm also surnamed Gu, Gu Mingxia, don't you think that reason is ridiculous?"
Gu Mingxia remained silent. What A Xin said was indeed true, but that could not be a reason for her to destroy the Gu Group. Although Gu Mingxia knew that it was a bit unreasonable to say that, should she still try to reason with A Xin at this time?
"Ah Xin, no matter what happens, it can't change the fact that your name is Gu Mingxin!"
