nGu Chu did not shout at her, nor was she hysterical. Her tone was calm, but firm.

n

nFrom this moment on, she had nothing to do with the Gu family anymore.

n

nAfter Gu Chu finished speaking, she walked to Feng Jia and did not look at anyone else.

n

nFeng Jia wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his arms.

n

nBefore Susan could finish her sentence, she looked down at Gu Wan, who seemed to be in a daze from Gu Chu’s scolding. “Ms. Gu, so your adoptive parents did not treat you well?”

n

nGu Wan wiped her tears and tried to wipe the wine stains off her face. However, that caused her makeup to be smeared as well.

n

nShe didn’t really care anymore. “Why would they be good to me? Moreover, they value sons over daughters.”

n

n“I’ve known since I was young that studying was my only way out. It was the only way I could escape from there. I studied hard and got first place in every exam. Even so, after I finished junior high school, they wouldn’t let me continue!”

n

nIf the village authority had not made it mandatory to complete nine years of education, she might not even have been able to attend school.

n

n“Fortunately, I met a good teacher. It was she who helped me convince them and paid for my tuition. Only then could I leave the village and go into town to study. I thought that after I finished my studies, I would be able to get into university and out of that place.”

n

n“But…” She laughed out loud, “in the third year of high school, they received a dowry. They wanted to marry me off! They wanted to destroy my life!”

n

nMrs. Gu knew about her past, but no matter how many times she heard it, her heart still ached. She quickly stepped forward to hug her daughter and shed tears with her.

n

nMr. Gu also sighed deeply. He turned around and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

n

nHearing this, everyone felt sympathy for her.

n

nThe Gu family’s eldest daughter was suddenly kidnapped and sold into such a miserable life. If she had stayed in the Gu family, her future would definitely have been bright. She would definitely not be like this.

n

nNo wonder Mrs. Gu pampered her so unconditionally. She felt sorry for her own daughter.

n

nGu Chu lowered her eyes and thought to herself, “in order to pay off her debts, Gu Wan became a mistress. She was beaten and scolded, and she wasted her college education. She paid the price for her actions when she was eight years old.”

n

nOne wrong move had changed her life.

n

nGu Chu did not want to listen to it anymore. She said in a low voice, “let’s go.”

n

nFeng Jia said, “this matter is not over yet.”

n

nSusan said slowly, “so, you instigated Shen Shan to kill your adoptive parents, is that right?”

n

nGu Wan trembled and shouted, “no!”

n

nAs soon as she said that, a large group of police officers rushed in from outside the door.

n

nWhat’s happening?

n

nThe guests all took a step back in surprise.

n

n“You can tell the police yourself.” Susan nodded slightly, completing the task that Feng Jia had given her.

n

nHowever, she still had some personal things to say to her.

n

n“I also have a sister. Our relationship has always been very bad. My parents preferred her and often gave her my share of allowance. I’m also very upset.”

n

n“However, I’m not jealous. Instead, I chose to be independent. I stayed away from them, and supported myself.”

n

n“Jealousy and resentment are all very normal emotions, but they should not be grounds for committing a crime. Because in the end, you’re the one who pays the price.”
