Gu's father was indeed feeling melancholy.
Actually, before marriage, and even right after marriage, his relationship with Yang's mother was quite good.
They lived in perfect harmony, treating each other with the utmost respect.
His relationship with Yang's mother was a free choice; when they were dating, he didn't know that his girlfriend was the only daughter of the company's chairman.
When the chairman agreed to their marriage, he was overjoyed, feeling that he had found the path to the pinnacle of life.
It was only after she got married and rose in rank that her resentment grew stronger.
Unable to bear a son, ridiculed for being a kept woman, her attempts to send her siblings to the company were rejected by her mother, and she was caught in the act by her mother and her entourage, losing face.
All of these factors combined made him increasingly impatient with Yang's mother.
But now that she has passed away, when I think back on her, I feel guilty, dissatisfied, and disgusted. Gradually, it turns into melancholy and regret.
"Ah Yu's photo? I haven't seen it in years. Where is it? Bring it here, I want to take a look tonight."
Gu Yanxue's heart skipped a beat, and she stared nervously at Tong Su.
Tongsu wiped away her tears and sobbed, "My sister burned them all. She said things from the dead are unlucky, so she didn't keep a single one."
"Burned? All burned?"
Mr. Gu was taken aback. He didn't understand at first, but when he turned to look at Gu Yanxue, he saw her guilty expression. How could she not know anything? His face instantly fell, as if it were glued shut, and he looked very ugly.
"Why did you burn your aunt's photos? Who gave you permission to burn them? How dare you act so recklessly! Dead people bring bad luck? It's your mother who has corrupted you. What kind of talk is this?! It's one thing to cause trouble all the time, but you're such a grown-up, how can you not even use your brain? The photos are there for people to see, how dare you burn them!"
Tongsu advised, "I always tell my cousin to treat this place like her own home, but she was just confused for a moment."
She kept emphasizing a "cousin" in her words, which made Gu's father feel even more guilty.
Zhu Yang was unaware that Yan Xue was her half-sister, and that he had an illegitimate son who was older than his own daughter and an illegitimate daughter who was the same age as her. While Gu's father was proud, he couldn't help but feel guilty from time to time.
"Zhuyang, don't say things like that again! She's your cousin, and you should be the one in charge of the family. Even if I find you a stepmother later, you're still the eldest daughter. How can you let your sister ride roughshod over you?!"
Without waiting for a reply, Gu's father glared at Gu Yanxue and said, "I forgot, this bedroom originally belonged to your sister. You should pack up and move out and give it back to your sister!"
Gu Yanxue was dumbfounded, her hands trembling with anger. Pointing at Tong Yang's nose, she roared at the top of her lungs, "Why should I move out? She's a hypocrite! A green tea bitch! A slut! I won't bow down to her! I..."
Snap!
He slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground!
Mr. Gu, panting heavily, his face contorted with rage, glared fiercely at Gu Yanxue: "How dare you talk to your sister like that? Don't you have any manners at all? You do! Get out of here tonight and go to the solitary confinement room. You'll be locked up for three days, and don't even think about coming out!"
As he spoke, he grew increasingly angry. Seeing that Gu Yanxue showed no remorse whatsoever, his dissatisfaction intensified, and he kicked her, causing her to stumble.
"Get out of here and go to the solitary confinement room!!"
