Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Torture in Reverse 8_1

Grandma Gu glanced at the senior Gu standing next to her and asked him to rest, saying that she had a few words to say privately to Gu En. The senior Gu nodded, thinking that Gu En’s behavior was becoming increasingly unbearably, that she needed an intervention, then he left Gu En’s room without another word.

Once the senior Gu left, Grandma Gu walked into the room, closing the door behind her. Then she sighed and said, "En, when you first came to the Gu Family, you were a very obedient girl. You were serious about everything and never acted willfully or threw tantrums. Why did you suddenly change so much? You should understand that as a daughter of the Gu Family, we taught you since a young age not to behave like a madwoman. When you do anything or say anything, you should always prioritize the family’s reputation! This time, the Gu Family has done many favors for you. If your grandfather hadn’t happened to be out of the house that day, can you imagine what could have happened?"

"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again," Gu En’s face turned pale, and she quickly stood up, stiff and upright, ready for Grandma Gu’s words.

"En, perhaps you would think that Grandma is heartless in saying this, but it still needs to be said. Thirteen years ago, the Gu Family could take you in, and thirteen years later, the Gu Family can also kick you out. You have to understand, it is not easy being a daughter of the Gu Family, it does not allow you to behave as you please. Although you are the only daughter of the Gu Family, we won’t ask you to contribute to the family like the Ding Family. We only ask one thing of you, to behave as the daughter of the Gu Family should, never bring shame to the Gu Family."

Grandma Gu looked at Gu En, who stood so rigid she dared not move, shook her head, and said, "Grandma doesn’t know how much you understood, but her words end here. Reflect upon them. Tomorrow, when you return to school, if you stir up trouble again, next time, the Gu Family will unrelentingly disown you. We would rather leave our bloodline severed than have a troublesome daughter causing problems for the Gu Family. We won’t bail you out like this time."

After finishing speaking, Grandma Gu turned and left. Gu En was left alone in the room, silent, standing still, staring blankly, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

After a while, Gu En suddenly sneered at the void, "What does it mean for the Gu Family to prefer a severed bloodline rather than a problematic daughter? It’s just that you think that since I, Gu En, am not your biological child, you can take me in or throw me out as you please. What if Gu Zhilan was the one causing trouble? I bet you would risk your lives to help her."

After her self-mockery, Gu En slowly relaxed her clenched fists, then bent down and started picking up the scattered items from the floor. Her face showed no emotion. The fleeting coldness and depth from her eyes seemed never to have been there.

She suddenly seemed calm, not like a person who had just been crying.

The spring in the capital seemed to come as soon as it was mentioned. Not long after the snow stopped, there were faint signs of green on the branches in the campus.

Feeling almost recovered, He Zhilan began to attend classes again. She had experienced a life-and-death situation within a few days, but to every classmate in the classroom, it was just ordinary hours.
