"Liang Ru, your mother is looking for you!"
Liang Ru was stunned: "My mom?"
Her mother had been dead for over a decade, and when she suddenly thought of the Gu family's daughter, who was about her age and whom her father had recently married, her face grew even paler.
The reason she disliked Gu Chu and made things difficult for him was precisely because Gu Chu shared the same surname as her stepmother.
She stormed out.
Gu Chu thought of something and followed them out.
"Gu Qingling, what are you doing here!" Liang Ru said angrily.
Gu Qingling looked coldly at Liang Ru. She really disliked this stepdaughter who was about the same age as her. She found her arrogant, domineering, and vicious. She even suspected that Liang Ru had killed Liang Ru's first stepmother.
I heard that woman was pregnant before, but she couldn't give birth.
"How rude! I am your mother now, and you, as a civil servant, are setting an example of filial impiety?"
Despite saying that, no one knows how much Gu Qingling is suffering inside.
After her escape, she ended up on the streets and was raped by some thugs. She couldn't go anywhere because she didn't have her ID card, and her heartless father even cut off her credit card, almost causing her to starve to death. She had no choice but to return to the Gu family, but Gu Dongting sent her to the Liang family overnight.
That night was an absolute humiliation for her, even more humiliating than being insulted by a few thugs.
Fifty-five-year-old Liang Hongwei, upon seeing the young and beautiful woman, was overcome with lust and ravaged her for three whole hours.
Fortunately, she pleased the old man, and now he dotes on her. However, her nightmares begin every night.
"Who do you think you are! You dare to be my mother? You're just a shameless whore!" Liang Ru cursed viciously.
She hates men who are unfaithful to their marriages, but she hates women who seduce men even more, like her first stepmother, Li Na.
When Liang Ru was four years old, her mother passed away unexpectedly. Her father felt sorry for her and doted on her even more. No matter how busy he was, he would come home every day to be with her, tell her stories, and lull her to sleep.
When she was five years old, her first stepmother, Li Na, married into her family. Li Na treated her very well, was willing to satisfy her every need, and took good care of her. However, she took away her father. Since Li Na entered the family, her father no longer spent time with her or told her stories to lull her to sleep. He slept with that woman every day, and she could only fall asleep alone, hugging her doll.
Later, Li Na became pregnant, and her father was overjoyed. He spent all his time outside of work with Li Na. Once, because she was throwing a tantrum and slapped Li Na's stomach, her father scolded her angrily. From then on, she disliked Li Na and the child in her womb even more.
A casual remark from the nanny taught the six-year-old how to get rid of Li Na's baby. The nanny said not to spill water on the floor because it was slippery and the lady of the house could fall. She added that the lady of the house was pregnant and couldn't afford to fall.
On a whim, she asked the nanny if the water was slippery. The nanny, without thinking, explained that water wasn't slippery, but cooking oil was. However, the woman, wearing slippers, would slip and fall in the water. So, the six-year-old secretly poured the oil from the kitchen oil bottle onto the stairs, then deliberately sat down at the bottom of the stairs and cried loudly. Li Na heard her crying and ran downstairs from the room, resulting in the child's death.
Her father was very angry that time, and Li Na slapped her. When her father was not at home, she took a basin of cold water and poured it on Li Na's bed when she was in postpartum confinement. After that incident, Li Na developed postpartum illness and never got pregnant again. Their relationship also began to deteriorate from that year until Li Na passed away half a year ago. She finally won this protracted battle.
