Chapter 1914: Chapter 60: Chaos in the House

The Ping Family’s New Year was a chaotic mess. They had originally planned to visit Ping Guo Fei’s rural hometown for the festivities but ended up not going. Ping Simin threw several tantrums, threatening to hang herself or drink poison, but Ping Qing managed to stop her every time.

During this period, Ping Guo Fei and Ping Qing went to the Gu Family to negotiate, but the Gu Family pushed all the blame away. Moreover, Gu Yuehong further accused Ping Simin of being indiscreet, saying she intentionally flirted with the wealthy guests at her brother’s birthday party, which made them lose face.

The father and son were infuriated, and now each of the three parties had different stories, causing an uproar throughout the town. There was never a secret in the circle; Gu Yuehong’s words quickly spread, making everyone aware of the situation.

During the New Year, families gathered and discussed this topic during visits. Before the New Year, Meng Xingzhi returned with his family to the Northwest District to pay respects to the old leader, and didn’t return until the third day of the Lunar New Year. Upon returning, he learned of the incident and summoned Ping Guo Fei personally to the study. No one knew what was discussed, but Ping Guo Fei emerged looking even more grim.

In just a week, Ping Guo Fei seemed to have aged nearly ten years, with his hair at the temples turning white.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when other families began visiting relatives, the Ping Family remained cold and dreary, having gone to the hospital twice. The atmosphere in the house was suffocatingly oppressive.

Gu Yunbo watched coldly, and simply didn’t visit the Ping Family. From a building away, he could hear Ping Simin cursing loudly at home. Her curses were as harsh as possible, either wishing death upon others or shouting for revenge.

"Mom, just let me die! It’s so humiliating, why am I still alive?" In less than ten days, Ping Simin’s face had turned waxy yellow, and she had rapidly lost weight, causing Zhu Meihua even more heartache.

She actually understood deep down that her daughter was simply too naive, having inherited none of her cleverness. How was it that she had lived smartly her whole life without facing setbacks, yet bore such a foolish daughter?

Thinking this, she looked through the window towards the house opposite, a trace of jealousy flickering in her eyes.

Hmph! Since her daughter was suffering, Gu Weiwei’s daughter shouldn’t fare any better.

"Mom, I don’t want this, I don’t want this, I’m scared... I’m really scared."

Zhu Meihua froze, then brought a bowl of boiled eggs to gently coax Ping Simin into eating. "Eat something, okay? It pains me to see you like this."

"Crash!" The bowl in Zhu Meihua’s hands was fiercely thrown to the ground by Ping Simin, emitting a harsh sound. She had already lost track of how many bowls she’d smashed these days.

"Simin, you need to pull yourself together. If you keep this up, what should I do? Do you want to drag the whole family down with you?" Zhu Meihua could no longer restrain her temper, shouting sharply, her voice loud and piercing.

The shock rendered Ping Simin speechless; she stared blankly at her, eyes puffy and swollen. Due to prolonged crying and lack of sleep, her eyes were bloodshot, looking completely different from her usual youthful and charming appearance.

Zhu Meihua’s heart ached like being pricked by needles; the more it hurt, the more her chest filled with anger and frustration, reaching an uncontrollable point. "Look at how foolish you are! Is it not shameful? We told you not to make a fuss, to calm down, and what happened? The more you fuss, the more humiliating it becomes. Originally, if you didn’t make a fuss or mention it, who would know? Who would know?"

Ping Simin was at a loss for words.

"No one would know, at least your reputation wouldn’t suffer, and we could help you gradually find a way. Wouldn’t it be possible for you to take revenge in some way?" Zhu Meihua’s heart was filled with hatred! Her gaze toward Ping Simin became one of anger and deep disappointment, replacing the former gentle compassion.
