The Regent's Little Wife

However, Gu Nian swayed slightly and dodged it lightly. There was only a crisp sound, and the air was filled with tension. The loud slap landed squarely on Gu Yao's cheek. Because she was not on guard, she was instantly knocked to the ground by the force.

There was a buzzing in her ears and her mind was in a turmoil. Gu Yao stumbled and fell to her seat, then burst into a cry of grief. The power of that slap was obvious.

"Yaoyao!" Gu Jingshen realized that he had hit the wrong person, and quickly helped Gu Yao up, feeling guilty: "Yaoyao, are you okay? Third brother definitely didn't mean it."

Gu Jingzhou was also horrified, and quickly let go of Gu Nian and carefully checked Gu Yao's injuries. He saw that half of her cheek was red and swollen, and the slap mark was clearly visible.

Wuuuuuuu (Second brother, Third brother, "I'm fine..." Gu Yao's words were unclear.

Gu Nian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a bit of teasing in his eyes, watching this slightly absurd scene, "Gu Jingshen, you really showed no mercy when you attacked me."

From the redness and swelling on Gu Yao's face, it can be seen that the power of Gu Jingshen's slap was extraordinary. If it were the heroine in the past, I'm afraid that slap would have landed on her face long ago. But after more than two months of recovery, Gu Nian has revitalized this body. She used her own spatial power to recuperate her body, making her originally weak body now strong enough to avoid this blow.

Gu Jingshen originally wanted to hit Gu Nian, but accidentally hit Gu Yao's face. Gu Jingshen was furious and roared, "Gu Nian! I must kill you! Why is it that every time you show up, Yaoyao always suffers? You are simply the reincarnation of a jinx!" He rushed towards Gu Nian, wanting to fight to the death. Gu Jingzhou hurriedly stopped him, "Third brother, calm down."

Gu Jingshen roared: "Yaoyao's face is so swollen, how can you ask me to calm down?"

Gu Nian spread his hands innocently: "It was your own mistake, how can you blame me? The look in your eyes should be taken care of by someone else, so as not to make the wrong choice again in the future."

Gu Jingshen roared: "I will never forgive you!" The Gu family was now caught in a vortex of chaos.

"Stop!" A stern rebuke cut through the noise. Gu Shanhai, Lan Meifeng and Gu Jingxuan hurried out of the inner room, and what they saw was a mess.

Lan Meifeng caught a glimpse of Gu Yao's swollen face and rushed forward, her eyes red with heartache: "Yaoyao, what happened to you? Does it hurt, my darling?"

Gu Yao grew up under the care of the Gu family and had never suffered any grievances, let alone such a serious injury.

Gu Shanhai was furious. He pointed his finger at Gu Nian and shouted, "You bastard! How dare you lay hands on your sister! I will cripple your hand today! Tell me, which hand!"

How could Gu Shanhai not be furious when his precious daughter was hurt so badly by Gu Nian, the rebellious girl? Although it was just a spur of the moment, it was enough to reveal his extremely angry state of mind. He would never let Gu Nian go easily.

Looking back, when Gu Nian was injured and hospitalized, no one cared about her and she was even suspected of lying. Now, Gu Yao was just slapped in the face, but Gu Shanhai wanted to chop off her hand. This is too much.

Gu Nian pointed at Gu Jingshen and said, "It was his hand that hit you. Chop it off."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and Gu Shanhai, Lan Meifeng and Gu Jingxuan all looked at Gu Jingshen.

"Third brother, Yaoyao is your biological sister, how could you be so harsh to her?"

Lan Meifeng looked at Gu Jingshen reproachfully. Gu Jingshen looked embarrassed: "I didn't mean to do that. It was all Gu Nian's fault..." Gu Shanhai's anger was ignited again, and he roared: "You evil creature! Get out! Get out of the Gu family! The Gu family doesn't want people like you!"

Gu Nian showed no sign of weakness: "You are an old evildoer!"

Gu Shanhai was furious: "Don't stop me! I must teach this little evildoer a lesson today!" As he said that, he was about to rush forward, but was held back by the whole family.

Gu Nian shrugged lightly: "You can't beat me, and I didn't want to step into this place. It was your precious children who dragged me in." After that, she left without looking back, thinking that it was futile to waste words with these people. When she stepped out of the villa gate, no one from the Gu family stopped her. She only saw Gu Shanhai and Lan Meifeng busy comforting Gu Yao.

If they hadn't confirmed that Gu Yao was not seriously injured, they would have almost sent her to the hospital.

Gu Shanhai was furious: "This evil creature, how dare she bully my sister, is she still a human being? My Gu family raised such an ungrateful person for nothing, it's really impossible to feed him!"

Gu Jingshen comforted her softly: "Yaoyao, don't cry for such an ungrateful person. That bitch is just coveting my family's wealth. I, Gu Jingshen, only recognize you as my sister in this life."

Wang Ma, who was standing by, looked hesitant, but she finally spoke: "Master, Madam, and all the young masters, the eldest lady asked me to give this to you."

She handed over an envelope, the thickness and shape of which suggested that it contained a sum of money.

Gu Jingshen looked puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Aunt Wang replied, "This is the fifty thousand yuan that the eldest lady gave you. It covers all the expenses she spent at the Gu family after she returned. As for Gu Nian's expenses, in addition to the tuition, it also includes the expenses of the eldest lady's hospitalization for a serious illness, totaling more than thirty thousand, and the rest is daily expenses."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The Gu family spent only 50,000 yuan on Gu Nian in more than a year? And this 50,000 yuan also included more than 30,000 yuan in medical expenses. If this item is excluded, wouldn't the living expenses be less than 20,000 yuan? Only 20,000 yuan in more than a year? You know, their weekly pocket money is far more than a million yuan. How can you believe it?

Gu Shanhai angrily rebuked: "Ridiculous! How could my Gu family only invest 50,000 in her?"

However, everyone looked at each other, and none of them could recall how much they had actually spent on Gu Nian. Gu Nian had never asked for extra expenses. She was attending an ordinary high school, and the tuition was not high. The main expense was just the cost of books.

Even Gu Jingxuan was full of doubts: "Mom, didn't you agree to give Gu Nian 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses? Why does she never seem to receive it?"

Lan Meifeng looked embarrassed: "I was afraid that she would spend money lavishly after returning home, so I wanted to give her money slowly, but I forgot about it when I got busy." She sighed, "This child is really something. She didn't tell her family when she was wronged. It's not like our family can't afford to give her money to spend."

Gu Jingzhou looked at the scene in front of him, feeling even more guilty, and tears welled up again. He couldn't help wondering, how did his sister survive in S City over the past year? You know, the consumption level in this city is extremely high, and 20,000 yuan a year is less than 2,000 yuan a month, while the average cost here is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. How does she survive on 2,000 yuan? At this moment, Gu Jingxuan reminded him coldly, "So what? Gu Nian stole the bracelet I was going to give to Yaoyao, which was bought at a high price of more than 5 million yuan at an auction abroad. That bitch must have stolen it secretly and resold it."

Gu Jingshen seemed to have found a loophole for attack and sneered, "How could you forget this? Gu Nian once stole things from my eldest brother, which is enough to prove that she has a problem with her character. If her parents hadn't stopped her and called the police, she would have been arrested long ago."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt relieved, as if they had found their moral balance. After all, people who do wrong will always find excuses.

Gu Jingzhou questioned helplessly: "Brother, there is no solid evidence for this matter. Are you sure it was Gu Nian who did it? There was a power outage at home that night, and the surveillance failed. You have no solid evidence to prove that she stole."
