Chapter 52: There’s No Limit to Their Shamelessness (1)
Smack!
Second Master Gu slapped Second Madam’s face. With an ashen face, he said: “I shouldn’t have let you follow me, you’re going to ruin everything! Don’t say another word or I’ll divorce you!”
When he was done talking, without a second glance at Second Madam, he turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun and said in a warm tone, “Yun’er, Second Uncle has come to fetch you home. Your grandfather was worrying about your safety while living outside. I couldn’t relax either, how would you be able to survive in this world with such weak cultivation? If you return with me now, our Gu family will pamper and spoil you, you’ll be treated the same as Panpan.”
Flames of wrath were shooting out from Second Madam’s eyes, it was obvious that she wanted Gu Ruoyun’s corpse to be torn into a thousand pieces.
However, she didn’t dare to utter a single word after Second Master Gu’s warning.
“You’re inviting me back?” Gu Ruoyun scanned Second Master Gu’s face, “Why does it look like you’re not here to fetch me back? It looks more like you’re trying to capture someone instead? Furthermore, since your Gu family intends to hand me over to the Weapon Refining Sect and doesn’t care about my life or death, I’m no longer part of your Gu family! I’m not good enough to be a member of such a family. So please go back to where you came from.”
Second Master Gu’s face turned red then white: “Yun’er, I’m still your uncle at the very least. Don’t make things difficult for us. If we don’t bring you back, Young Master Dongfang won’t let us off. Just treat it as helping us out, okay?”
The Gu family could have just told Dongfang Shaoze that Gu Ruoyun had been disowned. However, the Gu family had always been greedy. What was in it for them if they just gave him her whereabouts? They wanted to use Gu Ruoyun to connect with Dongfang Shaoze so they could request for some benefits.
Unfortunately, things were not going to go according to their plans...
“What if I don’t want to go back?” Gu Ruoyun smiled as she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, “What are you going to do to me then?”
“Stupid girl, that’s enough impudence out of you!” Second Madam could no longer keep silent and started scolding, “You heartless slut, our Gu family raised you up, and now you’re going to bite the hand that fed you? You should die a horrible death! You’re definitely the daughter of that seductress, you’re both inhuman!”
Although Gu Ruoyun had never seen her mother in this life, in her previous life, her mother had been the most precious thing she had sworn to protect for her whole life- and failed to.
So upon hearing Second Madam’s words, her smile cooled down bit by bit: “You’ve just made a fatal mistake. One that you’ll never be able to make up for.”
Second Madam was stunned. She looked at Gu Ruoyun with surprise.
She had never seen Gu Ruoyun look like this before...
The girl raised her delicate face slightly under the light breeze. Her body was clad in a cold aura, causing their hearts to start trembling. For some reason, they had the urge to kneel before her.
As if she were the king of this world! Utterly domineering!
She... wasn’t she the good-for-nothing eldest miss? It looks like the rumours were true. Gu Ruoyun was the most well-hidden in the whole capital...
“Go back and tell that great general in your Gu family. I, Gu Ruoyun, am never going back to the Gu family! So you don’t have to waste your efforts any longer!”
After saying so, she glanced sideways at Second Madam. This one look made Second Master Gu assume that it was Second Madam’s words that had caused Gu Ruoyun’s refusal. He was immediately agitated and glared fiercely at her in rage.
