Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart
Chapter 135: When she was young, she always picked on you.

Chapter 135: 135: When she was young, she always picked on you.

This statement is not without reason.

It is a conclusion that Gu Tong reached from the relationships in her two lifetimes. Even if her father doesn’t trust her, Cheng Bing remains unwavering, making numerous sacrifices because of her impulsive emotions back then.

Recalling everything from the past, Gu Tong fell silent.

"Who else wants to harm you! Tell me, and I’ll definitely help you!"

Cheng Bing flared up immediately. She truly regarded Gu Tong as a friend and would go all out for this good friend!

"I’ll tell you something... Before my wedding night, Qiu Xue came to see me and said a lot..."

Gu Tong talked frankly about everything without any deception, mixing in her doubts, and spoke it all out.

"At first, I believed her, but I never expected that she would wash Li Yan’s clothes. If Li Yan hadn’t rejected her, I would have really thought they..."

When mentioning these things, Gu Tong was filled with nothing but sadness and resentment.

"This is too much!" Cheng Bing slammed her hand hard on the table and said, "Since childhood, she has always targeted you, and now she’s getting worse. It’s clear she has ulterior motives!"

"Childhood..." Gu Tong was slightly stunned.

Cheng Bing realized she misspoke, sighed, and said, "It’s about that rumor of your special status... all spread by Qiu Xue. In the courtyard when we were kids, she always spoke ill of you, secretly gathered a group of people, and tried to isolate you in every way possible."

"But... I can somewhat understand her thinking. In the Academy Courtyard, only your fathers had the highest positions. If she didn’t suppress you, how could she stand out, especially since you were so outstanding..."

Gu Tong never thought such things happened. In the darkness she never noticed, Qiu Xue did so many despicable things.

"Then why didn’t you tell me?"

"It’s not that I didn’t want to, but I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me. I tested you and saw that you trusted Qiu Xue quite a bit, so I didn’t say much."

"I didn’t really have much personal contact with her..." Gu Tong explained, but she also realized the key point.

This was Qiu Xue’s strategy to manipulate people’s hearts. She mistakenly made Cheng Bing think she and Gu Tong were close, causing Cheng Bing to hesitate to say anything to maintain their relationship.

Meanwhile, Qiu Xue could continue to manipulate everything from behind the scenes, truly achieving two goals with one action, showing her deep scheming!

Gu Tong had not realized that Qiu Xue had targeted her so early on, yet she was foolish enough not to see it and even regarded her as her best friend...

Looking back now, she felt it was a joke...

Yet, to this day, she has not understood why Qiu Xue was always against her; she firmly believed she had never offended her in the slightest, not from childhood to adulthood.

"So... what do you plan to do?"

Cheng Bing realized the gravity of the situation.

Although it was unknown if Qiu ZhenDa knew about this, any oversight could turn into a battle between the Qiu Family and the Gu Family. Given the strength of both families, it would certainly end in mutual destruction.

This was also why Gu Tong hadn’t taken action, which Cheng Bing now understood.

"Boiling a frog in warm water, take it slow!"

This was Gu Tong’s best plan for now, and indeed the only way. She needed to start acting gradually, to completely swallow Qiu Xue’s trainee deployment.

In this life, she will never lose, nor can she afford to lose again.

Seeing Gu Tong had a plan, Cheng Bing exhaled a breath of relief and said, "It’s good that you have figured it out... This matter indeed needs careful consideration, and there’s a lot to do. Rest assured, I’ll always be by your side."

Besides feeling touched, Gu Tong didn’t know what to say. She remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering a single word: "Okay!"
