Chapter 72: White-Eyed Wolf?

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: White-Eyed Wolf?

After all from the start, even though Lin Qing scolded her harshly she(Lin Qing) didn’t scam her(the receptionist) any money, so why was Gu Jin so hellbent on making them pay?

"Because such people can only behave when they lose money. Don’t you think that they were acting too weirdly?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" The receptionist was taken aback by Gu Jin’s words.

"That lady dared to slap you because she knew that her husband would protect her. They used a carrot-and-stick approach.

If I didn’t interfere by the time that lady’s husband arrived you would have been slapped already."

The receptionist couldn’t help but gasp,

"Ho...how is this possible? I think that the man is quite gentle...."

"That is the point that man is pretending to be gentle. A real gentle person would never let an unreasonable person like his wife go ahead of him knowing that he wants important information..."

"But...but what would they get after hitting me? Won’t it be bad for them in the end?"

"Their plan was quite simple.

They would hit you so that you will be scared and angry, then the man with console you and act all gentle and kind, which will give you the impression that he is gentle, in return when you report this incident you would subconsciously pity him for having a unreasonable wife at the same time, you will feel that he is very gentle."

The receptionist’s eyes widened a little because she realized that Gu Jin was right!

That is what she thought earlier other than feeling uncomfortable...

Gu Jin left after dropping the line,

"Don’t be a pushover in front of such people."

The receptionist nodded and once again she vowed to be good to Gu Jin!

Intelligent people were always able to look through what ordinary people don’t even understand.

He understood the plan even though it was his first meeting with those people!

(Author: Gu Jin is disgusted as a young man.)

The receptionist suddenly ran behind Gu Jin and said,

"Young wait."

When Gu Jin stopped, the receptionist said,

"Even though it is not allowed to tell this, since you have helped me so much I will tell you, that our elders will most likely require another month or two before they come out of their seclusion."

Gu Jin thanked her and the receptionist waved her hand,

"No need! No need! I was impressed by your intelligence."

Saying so the receptionist left with a blush on her face.

Gu Jin on the other hand had a different perspective.

She wasn’t intelligent...

It was just what she had experienced for 1 year and gradually realized the pattern...

In her previous life when her father and mother died, her mother’s best friend came daily to console her.

At first, Gu Jin didn’t pay attention to her.

But as the pressure from the organization was increasing and her grandfather was in a coma too, Gu Jin was hardly able to deal with all the harsh comments and malicious gaze.

Gu Jin could still remember her 7-year-old self.

Even though she was just 7, she had to deal with those old fogies, deal with assassination attempts, harsh comments and physical abuse.

Since those ambitious people who wanted to take the entire organization in their control, couldn’t harm her directly, they asked their children to gang up.

And the leader was her mother’s best friend’s daughter...

That girl was vicious to the bone, she would ask 5 teenagers to hold Gu Jin and 5 to beat her, while the other 5 would keep an eye on the situation.

At that, the time bodyguards hired by Gu Jin’s parents too turned a blind eye to this regular day beating...

Even though there were still various people who were loyal to Gu Jin, otherwise Gu Jin wouldn’t have been able to hold her position, those people too couldn’t stay with Gu Jin all the time.

And even if Gu Jin deliberately stayed with them, at some point they would have to leave her.

Gu Jin wanted someone’s support, and that was when her mother’s best friend came into the picture.

She would promise to save Gu Jin every time she was in a perilous situation.

And she did! Whenever Gu Jin was 70% beaten, her mother’s best friend would appear and scold the children who would then run away.

At that time, Gu Jin thought that her mother’s best friend, Aunt Jiang was just like a warm light. She would always protect her.

Gu Jin slowly started getting close to her.

Gu Jin could still remember those warm moments...

Aunt Jiang would bake a cake for her, be reluctant when her Aunt Jiang was about to leave, as well as wait for Aunt Jiang to return every day...

This went on for the next 6 months and slowly Gu Jin realized something.

Even though Aunt Jiang would scold and lightly beat her daughter for being vicious, the daughter wouldn’t stop attacking her.

When one of the loyal people got to know about the abuse Gu Jin was suffering from, they instantly fired the parents of those children.

Gu Jin realized that if Aunt Jiang cared about her she would have reported it and asked those loyal people to fire those parents much earlier...

So her Aunt Jiang was only pretending to be gentle...

Gu Jin didn’t want to believe this crazy fact, but the day she vomited blood after eating a meal prepared by her Aunt Jiang...Gu Jin knew her mind was right.

After that incident, Gu Jin was in a coma for the next 3 months, it was only when her grandfather who awakened from his coma hired a special miracle doctor, did Gu Jin was saved.

Gu Jin stilled remembering how refreshing it felt when it was found that Aunt Jiang was the one who poisoned her...

Little Gu Jin could only ask with a blank face,

"Aunt...why...why...did you do that."

Her answer?

Aunt Jiang glared at Gu Jin with hatred as she said,

"Why you a small brat should inherit the organization? That b*tch was really something. I was with her the entire time, yet she didn’t even leave me any property! You on the other hand!

You acted secretive all the time! You called me Aunt Jiang but didn’t tell me what you were so secretive about, did you? At first, I really pitied you, but seeing how you are secretive you are just like that b*tch, I gave up on you!

I made a cake for your birthday, but you? You even forgot it!

I saved you so many times but what did you? But what did you give me in return? Nothing! You are just like your mother! A white-eyed wolf! Serves you right for becoming an orphan."

Little Gu Jin smiled slightly, but just before she could say anything, a voice sounded,

"Ma’am the thing you asked is done."

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a man coming with a red box.

Little Gu Jin walked and picked up the red box, slowly walking toward Aunt Jiang who looked a bit frightened.

When she reached in front of her, Gu Jin passed her the red box,

"Aunt I never forgot your birthday, just the gift I was preparing was taking much more time than it was required. Here, belated happy birthday."

Gu Jin placed the red box in front of Aunt Jiang, got on her bed, and pulled the blanket.

"You...what is in this box?" Aunt Jiang asked cautiously.

She was held by 2 guards and surrounded by all the people Gu Jin considered as loyal...

The man who had just arrived didn’t know what was going on, but he did what he was asked to do.

So he took out a white paper and started reading the content,

"Dear Aunt Jiang, first of all, belated happy birthday. I didn’t wish you that day because I was waiting to surprise you with my gift!

Aunt Jiang, I heard you sighing about how you love the mansion we are staying in. So I have made one for you!

Do you remember the rose manor that I took you to visit? I said that it was one of the properties that I inherited. I lied.

It was the gift I was preparing, but since the decoration was not done, I could only wait... By Aunt Jiang, I have observed that you like seafood a lot.

So here is the big gift! I have got you the black card for the famous Seafood restaurant you liked.

I hope you like my gift. Also for being a mother-like figure to me. I can never forgive your kindness and I wish that we could be together just like for the next 100 years of years.

I love you, Aunt Jiang. Your Gu Jin."

Aunt Jiang’s daughter suddenly laughed,

"You are wrong my mother doesn’t like seafood! Hahaha!"

However, Aunt Jiang’s face turned deadly pale as she looked at her daughter.
