“B*tch? Sister, you taught me all my tricks. Back then, you climbed into Brother Weiming’s bed just like I did. Why can you do such a thing but others can’t?”
Shen Ying held her red and swollen cheek, saying indifferently, “Do you still remember? You were just a servant of the Gu family back then. For money and status, you seduced Brother Weiming and caused Lu Qingyun’s death so you could rise to power. Such methods are really admirable. Now, I just want to stay by Brother Weiming’s side and serve him. I don’t want to snatch your position, much less kill you. What else do you want?
“You, a servant, can even sit in Madam Gu’s seat. I’m the dignified daughter of the Shen family. Why am I not worthy? After you became Madam Gu, you became arrogant and looked down on everyone. Have you forgotten that you were once a servant?! Among the noble families, your status is the lowest!”
“Ah!!! B*tch! I’m going to kill you! How dare you provoke me like this? Ahhh!”
Huang Lilan rushed over like a shrew. A trace of scheming flashed past Shen Ying’s eyes. She fell to the floor and covered her face. Tears trickled down her face as her voice trembled weakly. “Sister, it’s my fault. You can hit me. I definitely won’t resist. As long as you can forgive me, I won’t complain even if you beat me to death! I like Brother Weiming, so I did seduce him. Don’t blame him…”
Before she could finish, Huang Lilan felt a hand grabbing her wrist tightly. She turned around and met Gu Weiming’s angry eyes. Before she could say anything, Gu Weiming slapped her face.
Huang Lilan was slapped quite hard, and her head felt heavy for a few seconds. Then, she covered her cheek and looked at Gu Weiming in disbelief. “You… You hit me? For this woman…”
Back then, in order to be with Huang Lilan, Gu Weiming did not hesitate to betray his first wife and scold her. He was also hated by Old Madam Gu. It was enough to prove that he really liked Huang Lilan back then. However, as time passed, Huang Lilan became old and weak. Coincidentally, a young and beautiful woman like Shen Ying appeared in front of him to express her love for him. He naturally could not resist her.

This slap had put a barrier between their relationship as husband and wife. After calming down, Gu Weiming regretted it a little. However, when he heard Huang Lilan’s question, the anger in his heart surged again.
“If you can hit Shen Ying, why can’t I hit you? Shen Ying is the daughter of the Shen family, after all. In order to stay by my side, she doesn’t care about her status anymore. She has already suffered so much. Why can’t you be more tolerant?”
When Gu Weiming saw Huang Lilan’s face, he felt inexplicably annoyed. “And what right do you have to question me? I’m the master of this house. If I can make you the madam of the Gu family, I can also make you step down from your position. Don’t forget that you were just a servant back then. It’s your blessing to be able to sit in this position. You should cherish it! Shen Ying, let’s go!”
With that, Gu Weiming bent down to pick Shen Ying up from the floor and strode upstairs.
Huang Lilan stood on the spot and was stunned for a few seconds. Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment. Then, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the floor.
In Maple Garden.
Qiao Xi looked at the scene in the surveillance footage and could not help but curl the corners of her mouth. Back then, Huang Lilan wanted to use Shen Ying to restrain Gu Zheng. Now that she saw Shen Ying, whom she had personally trained, going against her, was Huang Lilan filled with regret?
At this moment, Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa. He suddenly felt a little tired. A minute after he closed his eyes, his other self awoke. His eyes were glowing with a faint green light.
The man looked at the woman who was leaning against him and said without any resistance, “Give it to me.”
“What is it?” Qiao Xi’s face was filled with confusion. When she met his eyes, she suddenly reacted. Gu Zheng’s second personality had appeared, so what he wanted was Huang Lilan’s video?
Qiao Xi turned on her laptop and found a video. Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa with his laptop and watching it with interest.
When Huang Lilan saw Shen Ying and Gu Weiming lying on the bed, Gu Zheng watched their shocked, angry, and resentful expressions several times.
After a moment, he slowly said, “It’s not as exciting as I thought. He’s still too kind. If it were me, I definitely would’ve made Huang Lilan completely break down and faint on the spot.”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Not as exciting as you thought? What else do you want? You’re indeed more childish!’
