Gu Juan glanced at the letter in Gu Chunhai's hand and nodded, "Yeah, it's this letter, written by Sister Lingling to Wang Qingfeng. I tried to dissuade her, but she wouldn't listen to me."
As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, portraying an image of grievance and pitifulness.
"Lao Er, what more do you have to ask? You should really discipline your daughter well," Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Lingling and said, "She's disgraced the whole Gu Family."
"Perfect timing, she doesn't have to attend school anymore. Let her come back and help with the chores or take care of your grandfather. Look at how busy your wife is every day, serving the elderly and taking care of the young ones."
The last remark was directed at Gu Chunhai.
"Yaya, quickly apologize to your grandma. Why don't you skip school then? What's so great about Wang Qingfeng? When you're a bit older, we'll find you someone better than him." Wang Meili said 'lovingly'.
Apologize?
Wouldn't that be admitting guilt? Gu Lingling sneered inwardly.
Letting Wang Meili find her a husband? Wouldn't that lead to someone like that scumbag Lv Guodong?
"Let me see." Gu Chunmei took the letter and examined it carefully, flipping it around before bursting into laughter, "Gu Juan, is this the love letter you're talking about? You and your mother bully our Lingling like this?"
As she finished speaking, the smile on her face turned into a sneer.
"Mom, I have to say, I also saw the letter when I first came in." Gu Chunmei said sarcastically, looking at Gu Juan and Wang Meili, "Gu Juan, I just don't get it, isn't this a letter Lingling wrote to Haohuan? How did it become a love letter in your eyes?"
"What? Impossible, I clearly asked her to help me write a letter to Wang Qingfeng. How could it…" Gu Juan explained anxiously, finally realizing and covering her mouth.
"Gu Lingling, you've wronged me." Gu Juan shouted loudly upon realizing the situation.
If Wang Meili hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over and slapped Gu Lingling.
Gu Lingling pretended to be scared and hid behind Gu Chunmei, whispering, "You asked me to help you write to Wang Qingfeng, but… I didn't think it was right, so I didn't write it. I was missing my brother, so I wrote to him instead."
"I never intended to harm anyone." She said, head down, clutching at her clothes in grievance.
Pretending to be wronged and all, she didn't understand this in her past life, but in this life, she mastered it!
"You little…"
"You little brat, are you trying to infuriate me?" Before Gu Juan could finish, Wang Meili slapped her hard.
Could she not know her own daughter? The following words were definitely curses about Gu Lingling being a 'little bitch'. That's what they called her in private.
But they didn't dare to say that in front of Gu Chunhai.
"Mom, you hit me." Gu Juan cried out in shock, covering her face.
"I'll beat you to death, you little wretch, how am I supposed to face your father in the grave?" Wang Meili cried, hitting Gu Juan on the back while sobbing, "How did I give birth to such a shameless daughter? Her father, I've failed your trust."
Even though she loathed Wang Meili, at this moment, Gu Lingling couldn't help but applaud her.
With this performance, Gu Juan's matter would end up being more bark than bite in the end.
Gu Lingling wasn't discouraged. As long as Wang Meili was in this house, and as long as Old Mrs. Gu was alive, Gu Juan would be protected no matter how big a mistake she made.
But how many times can Gu Chunhai tolerate it?
The day the truth came out, all that patience would explode.
Now that would be interesting.
