“Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to contend with her?” Yu Fei sneered, “If you had cultivated even a bit of sibling affection with Jiang Junlin over the years, you wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.”

Gu Chuyun cried in despair. Due to their disparate statuses, she couldn’t retaliate against anything Gu Ci did.

“Furthermore, Gu Chuyun, if you conduct yourself with dignity and integrity, no one can bully you,” Yu Fei sighed, “Release a statement. As for what to do next, let me think about it.”

Gu Ci watched as Gu Chuyun posted a lukewarm statement. The villa was already mortgaged to the creditor and hadn’t been transferred yet, so it was no longer her property. Netizens were skeptical, but her fans blindly defended her. Gu Ci had arranged two endorsements for Gu Chuyun behind her back. Gu Chuyun had no idea. She called them and had them release statements, terminating their cooperation with Gu Chuyun.

A little scandal was fine as long as endorsements and acting roles were still intact. However, if the endorsements were lost and her commercial value diminished, that would be a big problem. Yu Fei took Gu Chuyun to meet with the representatives that night, but they avoided them and insisted on terminating their contract with Gu Chuyun.

Gu Ci hadn’t expected Gu Chuyun to have the audacity to come to the Blue Fields Villa.

On Saturday, she and Qin Wan had invited a group of classmates to play basketball on the villa’s court and have a barbecue at her place afterward.

Early in the morning, Gu Chuyun appeared at the gate. Qin Wan was the first to spot her. “Gu Chuyun? We didn’t invite you, did we?”

“I want to see Gu Ci. Where is she?” Gu Chuyun had a sleepless night, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was in terrible shape. Qin Wan was even afraid she might pull out a knife and attack Gu Ci.

Gu Ci came downstairs, wearing a sports outfit with her hair tied in a ponytail. She had been in high spirits lately, looking cheerful and in great shape, radiant like a peach blossom, exuding the vitality that an eighteen-year-old girl should have. Jealousy distorted Gu Chuyun’s face. Gu Ci said, “Qin Wan, you go to the court first. I’ll talk to her.”

Qin Wan felt a bit uneasy, but Gu Ci smiled lightly and said, “It’s fine.”

After Qin Wan went to the basketball court, Gu Ci invited Gu Chuyun to the garden, which was filled with flowers. Winter had fewer blooms, but the camellias were in full splendor. Gu Ci poured her a cup of tea and asked, “What brings you here?”

“Were you the one who exposed my properties? I’ve thought about it, and only you would do something like this. Although my brother knew about the house, he couldn’t be bothered with me. I merely greeted you on campus, and you want to destroy me?” Gu Chuyun said in a desperate tone.

“Do you think I shouldn’t have exposed you, Gu Chuyun? These houses were bought with my money, right?” Gu Ci chuckled and said, “Even after the exposure, the houses are still yours. No one is taking them from you. Selling just one of these houses is enough to set you up for life. 99% of A University graduates can’t make a billion in their entire lives. You can still live a life like a young lady, free from worries. What are you complaining about?”

“My father is drowning in debt, and the family’s properties have been seized and auctioned off by the court. It’s still not enough. If those creditors find out 1 still have properties, will they spare me? Gu Ci, after the trouble with the Gu family, I’ve been carrying it all alone. My dad has a gambling problem, my brother is a failure, my mom is sick, and I’m the only one holding everything together. Even if I had conflicts with you when we were younger, does that deserve a death sentence?” Gu Chuyun cried pitifully. “I was young and immature, afraid my true identity would be exposed, so I targeted you everywhere. Although my parents didn’t like you, they still raised you. They didn’t mistreat you. Why can’t you forgive us?”

“They are your father, your mother, your brother, never mine,” Gu Ci said coldly. “Gu Chuyun, from childhood to adulthood, you always liked taking what belonged to me. 1 didn’t bother with that, but what about the incident with me and Lu Shijie? Do you want to brush it off as youthful ignorance?”

“You’re here just fine, Lu Shijie is dead, and the Gu family is bankrupt. Haven’t we all faced the consequences? Are you still not satisfied?” Gu Chuyun furrowed her brow. “I avoided you at school, and you can choose not to support our dad, not acknowledge us. Even when we were in dire straits and surrounded by creditors, we didn’t come to you. Why can’t you let us go?”

Gu Ci looked at the pitiful yet hateful expression on Gu Chuyun’s face and remembered her own past life. When she had just given birth to Gu Ziyu and was with Lu Zhiyuan, she had kneeled and begged Gu Chuyun to spare the child. Gu Chuyun had almost dropped Ziyu to his death.

Ziyu couldn’t even have the same surname as Lu Zhiyuan. Those memories of Gu Chuyun tormenting her and Ziyu in their past life were vivid in her mind.

These things would never happen in this lifetime. Gu Chuyun was right. Based on these events alone, she didn’t deserve to die. But what about her in the previous life? What wrong had she done? Did she and Ziyu deserve to die?

Who would seek justice for her and Ziyu from their past selves?

“Gu Chuyun, if I had known this would happen, why did you do it back then? On the day you got engaged to Lu Shijie, if I hadn’t woken up, do you know what would have happened? Let me tell you, I would have stabbed Lu Shijie, then he would have accused me of deliberately seducing him and attempted murder. I would have been sentenced and gone to prison. Lu Zhiyuan has liked me since childhood; he was your Prince Charming. How could you tolerate that? What would you have done to me? Defenseless in prison, you would have wanted to destroy me. I would have been trampled in the mud by you for the rest of my life. Gu Chuyun, if it were just minor conflicts, unpleasant interactions from our childhood, I wouldn’t hate you. At most, we wouldn’t have interacted as we got older,” Gu Ci said bitterly, “But you absolutely should not have, under any circumstances, conspired with Lu Shijie to frame me. From that moment on, I would never forgive you!”

“This isn’t fair. These things never happened. How can you blame me?” Gu Chuyun wiped away her tears. “Gu Ci, what do you want in order to let us go?” “Don’t let me see you anywhere,” Gu Ci said flatly.

Gu Chuyun couldn’t accept that. She collapsed and said, “I’m a celebrity. I’ll definitely be in the public eye. This isn’t fair at all, Gu Ci. You have power and influence now. Are you just going to trample all over my life like this?” “This is what you did in the past!” Gu Ci sneered. “Until now, I haven’t even received a sincere apology from you.”

Gu Chuyun, flexible when necessary, got up and knelt in front of Gu Ci. “Sister, please, spare me. I promise to follow the rules, be a better person, and take care of our dad. I won’t let him trouble you. I’ll handle the family’s debts as well. You can continue to be your father’s favored daughter. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let greed blind me and conspire against you and Lu Shijie. 1 was wrong. Please forgive me. If I ever do anything to hurt you again, may lightning strike me down, and I’ll deserve a wretched death.. You can do whatever you want to me at that time, alright?”
