Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Tianhao’s mild expression instantly turned ice-cold, but he quickly reverted to a mild demeanor.

“Xiaohe, stand up,” he said.

Chu He’s face displayed a clear look of distortion, hating Gu Qingcheng to the core.

However, she had lost her phone, and now she didn’t even have any leverage to threaten Gu Qingcheng. She berated herself for not backing up any additional leverage.

Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng still didn’t know she had lost the leverage in her possession; otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted the invitation to the restaurant for lunch today.

She still didn’t know when she lost her phone, and she had no starting point to look for it.

Gu Tianhao’s tone grew more severe. “Xiaohe!”

Reluctantly, Chu He stood up, suppressing the urge to strangle Gu Qingcheng in her chest. She put on a sincere and apologetic expression as she faced Gu Qingcheng.

“Qingcheng, Auntie asks you to make amends with Xiaomei.”

Gu Qingcheng responded casually, “Slightly better than earlier.”

Chu He wanted to pick up the hot water cup in front of her and throw it at Gu Qingcheng’s face, but she didn’t dare.

“Qingcheng, Auntie begs you to reconcile with Xiaomei,” she implored, lowering her head to Gu Qingcheng. “Auntie begs you.”

Gu Tianhao, seeing his wife Chu He humbling herself to apologize to Gu Qingcheng, felt a pang of pity for Gu Qingcheng.

“Qingcheng, be merciful. We are still family. Your aunt and I have wronged you in the past. From now on, we will make amends for it. Forgive Xiaomei. If you don’t want to see her, I will send her abroad. Is that acceptable?”

Chu He swayed noticeably; she had never bowed so low in her life, and now she was forced to apologize on behalf of her daughter.

What had her daughter, Gu Mei, done wrong?

All along, it was Gu Qingcheng who had started the trouble, tormenting her daughter Gu Mei.

What was even more despicable was that her daughter Gu Mei hadn’t said anything wrong. Gu Tianhao’s heart was entirely focused on the family estate, and he was willing to sacrifice her and Gu Mei at any time.

He even mentioned sending Gu Mei abroad. How could that be possible? Gu Mei couldn’t even speak English. How could she live abroad?

How could Gu Tianhao treat her daughter like this? How could he?

“Go abroad?” Gu Qingcheng smiled. “To live in a large villa comfortably? Your father asked me to sponsor the trip, and I worked and lived abroad afterward. Did you ever ask how I was doing over there?”

Gu Tianhao’s face alternated between pale and flushed as Gu Qingcheng’s words hit him hard.

“Qingcheng, Xiaomei can’t compare to you. She…”

“They’re both Gu family daughters, studying at the same school,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Gu Tianhao. “What’s the basis for comparison? Or do you think Gu Mei is a complete waste of space?”

“You…” Chu He was so angry that she almost cursed at Gu Qingcheng, but she held back and said in a polite tone, “Qingcheng, don’t be like this…”

“If not this way, then how?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He. “You used to scold me a lot. Why not today?”

Chu He felt frustrated; her entire being ached with pent-up emotions.

In a stern tone, Gu Tianhao said, “Qingcheng, let’s have a proper conversation about Xiaomei’s matter as a family. Don’t deny us the chance to speak.”

“I’ve given you tne cnance,”    said calmly, ner gentle tone turnmg sharp. “If I didn’t want to give you the chance, would you two be sitting here talking to me today? Besides, do I not have the right to voice a different opinion on what you say?”

Without waiting for Gu Tianhao to respond, she changed her tone from gentle to assertive. “There is no single opinion here. If you want to silence me, you’ll have to prove your ability.”

Gu Tianhao’s face turned pale as he realized that Gu Qingcheng was playing with him. Unless he did as she wished and killed Gu Mei, all his efforts would be in vain.

The petty disputes between sisters, and even the matter of stealing a boyfriend, were all minor issues that could be resolved differently. However, Gu Qingcheng’s hatred for Gu Mei had reached the point where she wanted to kill her.

Gu Qingcheng’s terrifying and narrow-minded nature exceeded his imagination.

Gu Qingcheng wanted not only Gu Mei’s life but also the lives of Gu Tianhao, Chu He, and everyone else, including Qin Jun.

These were the prices they had to pay for killing her.

They had to die!

“You… You’re insane…” Chu He couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “She merely took your boyfriend, Qin Jun. How can you have such a heartless nature? You’re terrifying.”

Gu Qingcheng looked calmly at Chu He, suggesting something with her words.

“Those who haven’t suffered themselves should not advise others to be kind.

I’m far from as terrifying as you think.”

Gu Mei, Qin Jun, and the others had blown her to pieces, and she had transformed into a demon to torment them until they were dead!

At this moment, Gu Tianhao grasped Chu He’s hand, signaling her not to get agitated.

He looked directly at Gu Qingcheng and asked, “Besides having Gu Mei die, do you have any other solution?”

“I want Gu Mei’s life,” she declared. She didn’t just want Gu Mei’s life; she wanted the lives of Gu Tianhao, Chu He, and everyone, including Qin Jun.

This was the price they had to pay for killing her!

They had to die!

“You… You’re insane,” Chu He exclaimed, unable to contain her emotions. “She just took your boyfriend, Qin Jun. How can you be so ruthless? You’re terrifying. ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He calmly, insinuating something with her words.

“One shouldn’t preach kindness without experiencing hardship themselves.

I’m not as terrifying as you think.”

Gu Mei, Qin Jun, and the others had shattered her, and she had turned into a demon to exact her revenge until they were all dead!

At this moment, Gu Tianhao grabbed Chu He’s hand and signaled her not to get agitated.. He gazed directly at Gu Qingcheng and asked, “Is there any other solution besides Gu Mei’s death?”
