Chapter 515: Chapter 515 Paying Back the Life Debt 10_1

Did she concoct this fantasy world herself?

What a ridiculous notion. The Gu Family only has one daughter, Gu En.

"He Zhilan, as long as you can get the case dropped and stop Chen Yun and the rest from interfering, the Gu Family can meet any of your demands! Money, a house, even an overseas education, a promotion for He Teng, anything that our Gu Family can do, we promise without hesitation." Gu’s mother swiftly added, afraid of hurting He Zhilan’s pride, "Even if it means begging on our knees, or having Gu En kneel before you. We only ask for one thing: spare Gu En this time".

"And what about me? Is my life not worth anything? Is my life not worth any money? Should your Gu En go to jail, her future is ruined. But what about me? When I’m dead, who will mourn me? An eye for an eye. This is the punishment Gu En deserves! Even if you begged on your knees, I..." He Zhilan bit her lip, "...I will turn a blind eye, I will certainly not agree! What I demand is for Gu En to receive the punishment she deserves."

Grandma Gu and Gu’s mother were taken aback. They never expected that Gu En’s roommate would outright reject their plea without any hesitation.

They thought that demonstrating their vulnerability as elders would elicit sympathy and forgiveness from a nineteen-year-old girl.

"From the moment I met Gu En, she’s bullied me, insulted me, beaten me, even tried to kill me. Just because you don’t feel sorry for me doesn’t mean no one does. I also have a father, a brother, a sister, I have a family!" He Zhilan growled, "Why should I forgive someone who wants to take my life just because someone who doesn’t feel sorry for me asks?"

"But He Zhilan, you’ve only suffered a bit..."

"A bit of suffering? In your eyes, is that all it is?" He Zhilan interrupted Gu’s mother with a cold laugh, then turned her head, refusing to look at them, "Both of you, get out. I have no words for you. Regardless of anything, I will not let Gu En off."

"But regardless, He Zhilan, aren’t you still alive and well? After you leave the hospital and recover for a while, you can return to your old self. But for Gu En in prison, besides the physical torment, she’s facing a much more painful future! For a girl, being in jail is shameful enough, but for Gu En, who’s the daughter of the Gu Family, everyone in the capital knows her. For her, life is worse than death!"

Seeing that Gu’s mother’s words had no effect on the patient, Grandma Gu suddenly changed her tone and said sternly, "He Zhilan, as you may know, the Gu Family is quite prominant in the capital. We will never allow a daughter accused of murder into our family. This relates to our family’s reputation and future."

"But what does all this have to do with me? My surname is He, not Gu." He Zhilan retorts, her expression as indifferent as a spectator’s, cold as ice.

"He Zhilan, we thought you understood! Even if you have Chen Yun and Xing Ye helping you and Gu En might go to jail, the Gu Family has more than enough resources to get her sentence reduced quickly and get her out of jail! Similarly, although the Gu family might not be able to constrain Chen Yun and Xing Ye at the moment, given the Gu family’s ability, crushing you and He Teng would be as easy as stepping on an ant!"

Grandma Gu’s tone changed from pleading to threatening, "Believe it or not, as soon as Gu En goes to jail, the Gu Family will have Capital University kick you out, even your good roommates! The Gu Family can also find various reasons to have He Teng discharged from the army or court-martialed! He Zhilan, you better think about it. Do you want everything you desire from the Gu Family by sparing Gu En only this time, or are you determined to have Gu En serve her time and turn against the Gu Family, prompting us to take revenge using every means possible?"
