When Gu Ning hurriedly returned home, she was met with a fierce slap from

Gu An.

He doted on Xia Chun, which meant he was willing to go to great lengths for her, but that did not mean that Gu Ning could be so reckless and even impact his career.

Upon seeing the blood at the corner of Gu Nings lips, Xia Chun immediately rushed forward, embracing Gu Ning and breaking into tears.

“Gu Ning, I’ve treated you like my own daughter, even better than my own son. Is this how you repay me? 1 can understand if you’re a victim in the situation with the two of them, but look at what you’ve done. How many people have you offended?” Gu An angrily interrogated.

Gu Nings mind was a jumble. She did not know how someone had obtained those videos and made them public.

“Dad, I know I messed up. I really know I was wrong. Please help me. I don’t want to go to jail!” Gu Ning, her face marked with the imprint of the slap, pleaded.

She had just consulted with a lawyer and realized the severity of the situation. The video of her tormenting Gu Chun and the one from earlier showing her assistant’s hand being maimed were both circulating.

She heard that the assistant had even committed suicide, and her parents took this opportunity to release the video where she was coerced into reconciliation.

Gu Ning was filled with deep resentment. Those pathetic peasants had already taken the money and still went back on their promise.

Were they not just looking for some money?

Could they not have just come to her for more money? Why did they expose the video?

“Help you? I can hardly protect myself right now. How can I help you? You can look forward to going to jail!” Gu An flatly refused.

Although Xia Chun had something to say, Gu An simply turned and walked away.

Xia Chun held Gu Ning, saying with a heavy heart, “It’s going to be okay. Mom will figure something out. I won’t let you go to jail.”

At this point, Xia Chun had nothing left but her daughter. She could not bear to watch her daughter go to prison.

Gu Ning pushed Xia Chun away and said through gritted teeth, “Help me?

You’re just a mistress. How can you help me? Look at the man you’ve chosen. He’s useless and now he’s abandoning me. What can you do for me? You can’t do anything for me.”

At this moment, Gu Ning completely forgot that she was the one who had sent her own mother to Gu An’s bed.

She even resented her own mother for not having the ability to protect her.

If she and Shen Xi had not switched back, she would now be the young miss of the Shen and Lu families.

In such a situation, both the Shen and Lu families would have done everything to protect her and punish those who bullied her.

In the end, it was her own biological mother’s incompetence that led her to this misery.

Otherwise, she would not be suffering like this.

Yes, and Shen Xi, if it were not for Shen Xi taking Shen Yan and Lu Shan away, she would not be in this plight now.

She had endured eighteen years of hardship on Shen Xi’s behalf. Why did Shen Xi get to enjoy everything? It was unfair!

Just then, a servant came to report that there were police officers outside looking for Gu Ning. Gu Ning was instantly terrified.

Xia Chun quickly pulled Gu Ning and said, “You go out the back door. Mom will deal with them.”

Gu Ning did not even spare Xia Chun a glance and left through the back door.

However, once she was out, she had no idea where to go.

She dared not go to a hotel, fearing that her location would be revealed when she presented her ID.

In this vast world, there was suddenly no place for her to go.

As she crouched in a corner, trying to figure out what to do, a group of people exclaimed, “Quick, someone call the police! This is the famous actress Gu

Ning, the wicked woman Gu Ning.”

In an instant, many passersby were approaching Gu Ning.

Frightened, Gu Ning fled, but she was already covered in rotten vegetables and smelly eggs.

She immediately went to a nearby shopping mall, covered her face, and entered a clothing store, changing into a clean outfit.

However, when she tried to pay with her card, she realized that all her cards had been frozen.

Gu Ning awkwardly rummaged through her purse, only to find two one-hundred-dollar bills inside.

But the outfit she was currently wearing cost eight thousand.

Gu Ning awkwardly said, “l don’t want this dress anymore, alright?”

The salesperson did not mince words. She told the customer who had been hiding her face, “I’m sorry, but you’ve already stained the dress. Look at the hem, it’s got egg yolk on it..”
