Listening to the yelling and cursing coming from downstairs, Gu Xingzhao scratched her ears with her little finger and ate as if nothing had happened. Ten minutes later, when the yelling and cursing stopped, she changed her clothes and slowly went downstairs.
As soon as the supermarket door opened, what hit me was a barrage of curses from a woman.
Guan Lian pointed her golden-ringed hand at Gu Xingzhao, "You bitch, you actually incited those people on the Internet to sue my son!"
Next to him, Guan Shun stood there, still wearing a hat and a mask, afraid of being recognized.
Gu Chengzhang looked at his daughter in front of him, his hands hanging by his legs were shaking. He tried hard to suppress the urge to give this rebellious girl a good beating, because today, there was something important to do.
Gu Xingzhao's thin lips curved slightly, and he smiled, "That person on the Internet is not your son, right? I remember your son's last name was Guan, when did he change it to Gu?"
Guan Lian felt guilty, so in order to take advantage of the popularity of this little bitch, she changed her son's online account to Gu Shun, so that people could tell at a glance that he was Gu Xingzhao's younger brother.
Guan Shun gritted his teeth, thinking of the voices cursing him online, and all his anger turned to Gu Xingzhao.
"Gu Xingzhao, I treat you as a family member. I believe I have never done anything to hurt you. How can you help those people to sue me!"
Hearing this, Gu Xingzhao almost laughed out loud, "No, who are you? Do I have anything to do with you?"
"Don't keep saying we're a family wherever you go. If you really want to be called Gu, I'm still short of a son. I just don't know if your mother is happy with that."
Guan Shun: "You you!"
Because his family had some money, Guan Shun had always been pampered by people around him since he was a child. He had never been insulted like this before. He was so angry that his mind was in a mess, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Guan Lian's face turned green, and she rushed forward to hit him, spit flying out of her mouth, "You uneducated thing! Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"
But before she could touch Gu Xingzhao, the hair on her head suddenly stood up, a rumbling sound came from the sky, and a blue-white arc of electricity streaked across the sky and hit her arm.
Guan Lian trembled violently, her face twisted, her expression filled with unspeakable pain.
She wanted to call for help, but her throat seemed to be strangled and she couldn't make a sound. Her whole body was paralyzed and her strength gradually left her body until she could no longer hold on. Her knees gave way and she fell heavily to the ground.
Guan Lian lost consciousness.
Seeing this sudden scene, Guan Shun was horrified: "Mom!"
Gu Xingzhao covered his mouth in shock, "She was struck by lightning, wasn't she?"
Guan Shun clenched his fists, his face livid. He turned around abruptly and stared at Gu Xingzhao sharply, "Gu Xingzhao! What did you do to my mother!?"
Listening to the other party's resentment and accusations, Gu Xingzhao looked innocent, "I am standing right here. It has nothing to do with me if she got struck by lightning because of her own bad behavior. It's really funny."
Guan Shun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Chengzhang.
Gu Chengzhang's face was serious, "Hurry up and send your mother to the hospital, don't make a fuss here!"
Guan Shun was indignant, but he couldn't ignore his own mother, so he could only help Guan Lian up from the ground, staring at the woman in front of him, and said harshly, "Gu Xingzhao, I'm not done with you!"
Gu Xingzhao watched the mother and son leave with a smile, then looked at Gu Chengzhang who was still standing there, raised his eyebrows, and said with a mocking tone, "Your wife has fainted, and as a husband, why don't you go over to check on her?"
Gu Chengzhang's eyes flashed darkly, but he pretended to be gentle, "Xiao Zhao, Dad came here today because he really wants to ask you for help."
Hearing this, Gu Xingzhao nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
Seeing that her attitude was not as cold and hard as last time, Gu Chengzhang was relieved. Just as he was about to ask to go into the house and sit down, he heard Gu Xingzhao's cold voice:
"But I don't want to help."
Her expression was calm and her face showed no signs of like or dislike.
This made Gu Chengzhang feel that there was room for negotiation as long as he could gain his daughter's forgiveness, even though he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Giving birth to her is a great blessing. She should listen to me and do things for me. It is only natural for my daughter to earn money for me to spend!
Isn't it enough to let her live a carefree life for more than ten years?
Gu Chengzhang: "Xiao Zhao, ask Dad to come into the house with you. Everyone coming and going outside is watching."
Gu Xingzhao blinked, looking innocent, "No, I'm afraid you'll come into the house and beat me like you did when we were kids. I'm a weak girl, what if you beat me to death?"
When the people around who came to join in the fun heard this, their eyes changed. This Gu Chengzhang is really not a human being!
Aunt Wang knew she was no match for Gu Chengzhang, so she called the police station directly.
Gu Chengzhang gritted his teeth and really wanted to beat his daughter to death who was out of his control, but he couldn't and even asked his daughter to do it.
He lowered his voice and looked pleadingly, "Xiao Zhao, I'm begging you. Daddy is really desperate. Just lend me 500,000 yuan. Daddy will definitely pay you back with interest in the future!"
Gu Xingzhao was shocked and exclaimed, "You want 500,000 from me!?"
Everyone around was stunned, and they all said, "How long has Xiao Gu graduated from college? How can he afford so much money to open a small supermarket?"
"It's fine if the father doesn't support his daughter, but why does he ask her for money?"
Aunt Wang even added, "This world is like this. He gave birth to a daughter and ignored her. For more than a decade, he spent all his money on his wife and stepson. In the end, he still has to ask his daughter for debt. It's really unfair!"
"If I had known that Lao Lin and I would have worked hard and had a daughter like others, we wouldn't have to sell dumplings here to earn a few hard-earned dollars now!"
Aunt Wang's voice was very loud, and Gu Chengzhang heard it clearly. He frowned, glared at Aunt Wang, clenched his teeth, and suppressed his anger. "Xiao Zhao, don't listen to them. Dad knows that you may not have that much money, but there is really no other way. See if you can find a way to get some."
Gu Xingzhao followed Aunt Wang's words, looking embarrassed and aggrieved, "Even if you sell me, you won't get half a million!"
When Aunt Wang heard this, she immediately jumped up and said, "Everyone, listen, this old Gu is such a wicked person. No matter how much money he needs, he can't sell his daughter!"
"You're going to sell your daughter for half a million dollars!?"
When the neighbors heard this, they all cried out for Gu Xingzhao, "How can you sell your daughter?"
"Oh my god, there are actually fathers like this who are willing to sell their own daughter for the sake of their wife and stepson!"
"What a beast! What a beast!"
Gu Chengzhang's face turned blue and black. He could no longer suppress his anger and yelled at the crowd, "She is my daughter. Even if I sell her, it's none of your business!"
At this moment, a sonorous voice sounded, and Lu approached with two of his men, looking coldly at the man who was making trouble in front of him:
"Who are you going to sell out?"
