Those words landed heavily on Cheng Qingyun, almost crushing her thin shoulders.

Everything was not going according to plan. Cheng Qingyun only felt that today was the darkest and most torturous day of her life. She was suspected by Grandpa Song, tricked by a five-year-old child, and even met Cheng Qi, her worst nightmare.

Cheng Qingyun was terrified.

She didn't dare to look back, and every step she could her behind her frightened her.

She was afraid of Cheng Qi, and Cheng Qi was the nightmare of all the illegitimate children of the Cheng family...

She didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly bowed to Grandfather Song.

"G-Grandfather Song, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll visit you another day to apologize properly. I'm so sorry.

" With that, Cheng Qingyun lifted her golden dress and ran away in a panic.

Gu Chu said,

"Grandpa Song, Brother Cheng Qi, I'll send Auntie Cheng off. I'll be back soon.

"

With that, Gu Chu smiled obediently and chased after her with her short legs.

Cheng Qi looked helpless and nodded at Grandpa Song to greet him.

Gu Chu passed through the violets and soon caught up with Cheng Qingyun. Cheng Qingyun's was in a panic as if she was being chased by a grim reaper. She didn't even bother to pick up one of her high heels.

Gu Chu was puzzled.

When Cheng Qingyun was about to kill the old man, she didn't show any fear on her face. Why did her face turn pale when she heard that Cheng Qi was coming? Why did she run away in a hurry?

Was Cheng Qi that scary? He was just a fifteen-year-old kid.

In the original novel, Cheng Qi was bullied terribly by these illegitimate children. Why was it the other way around now...

"Don't follow me all the time!

" Cheng Qingyun finally stopped running beside the large fountain more than ten meters away from the main hall. She tidied up her appearance and returned to her dignified and beautiful appearance.

Gu Chu handed over the small blade with an obedient smile.

"Auntie Cheng, you dropped your stuff. I'll return it to you.

"

The thin small blade lay quietly in Gu Chu's palm.

Gu Chu did not seem to be afraid of being cut. She only smiled at Cheng Qingyun.

Cheng Qingyun took two steps back. She suddenly felt that this child with a cute smile holding the blade in her palm was indescribably scary.

She saw Cheng Qi's shadow on Gu Chu...

"No, it's okay. This thing is very dangerous. I don't need it.

" Cheng Qingyun stuttered. She did not dare to look at Gu Chu's clear eyes.

The sky was already dark, and the lights in the manor were getting brighter and brighter. The fountain was splashing with water, and the water reflected the lights of the night. Gu Chu stood by the side of the pool, and her small body seemed to have blocked Cheng Qingyun's path.

Gu Chu threw the blade in her hand into the pool, patted the dust on her small hand, and warned sweetly,

"Auntie Cheng, I hope you can be a good person --

" she paused for two seconds, and the smile on Gu Chu's cute little face disappeared, and her voice was cold and thin.

"Otherwise, you'll only have yourself to blame.

"

It was still the soft voice of a girl.

Cheng Qingyun did not make a sound.

The colorful lights shone down, and the little girl's pitch-black eyes were like a deep pool of water that swallowed the darkness. Cold sweat broke out on Cheng Qingyun's forehead. The coldness invaded her organs. She was threatened by a child who was still wet behind the ears...

However, she was actually trembling and terrified.

Was she really only five years old? What had Gu Manxi been teaching her...

With her hands behind her back, Gu Chu hopped back into the garden to look for Brother Cheng Qi.

...

Gu Chu returned to the grape trellis, where Cheng Qi was chatting with Grandfather Song.

"Brother Cheng Qi, Grandfather Song!

" Gu Chu ran over.
