Chapter 410: Chapter 411: Becoming Sickly Twisted

The night was as calm as the water.

There was profound silence in the courtyard.

It seemed as if everything had come to a standstill.

Xia Yangyang and Gu Mingzhu were only two meters apart.

They gazed at each other, yet they felt worlds apart.

In Yangyang, Gu Mingzhu saw a reflection of the young Tan Zhen in front of her all those years ago.

Yangyang’s eyes were nearly identical to Tan Zhen’s in her youth.

They looked calm as still water, but beneath the surface, they were churning.

The memories of the past came flooding back, overwhelming her.

However, Gu Mingzhu seemed unwilling to dwell on those memories and abruptly came to her senses.

She closed her eyes.

When she reopened them, they were filled with pain. “Yes, when your mother committed suicide, I was the one responsible. All these years, I thought it was all in the past and that nobody would bring it up again. But I never expected Ah Chen to marry Tan Zhen’s daughter. It’s such irony…such a twisted fate.”

At this point, Gu Mingzhu seemed to laugh.

Every word from Gu Mingzhu was like a knife to Yangyang.

At this moment, they were tearing into her flesh one slice at a time.

Gu Mingzhu turned around: “From the moment I found out you’re Tan Zhen’s daughter, I knew I couldn’t escape this day. But I didn’t expect it would come this soon. Yangyang, you’re right. I’m the one who harmed Tan Zhen. Back then, I wished her dead, but I regret it now. I truly do.”

Gu Mingzhu seemed to have transformed into a different person.

She leaned against a cherry blossom tree, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Tears welled up in her eyes: “Back then, I was impulsive and I made many mistakes. The person I wronged the most in this world was your mother. Now, I don’t intend to make excuses for myself. You can take revenge on me behalf of your mother any way you want, but I won’t allow you to harm Ah Chen in any way.”

Deep down, Yangyang still held a glimmer of hope.

She had been avoiding this for a long time.

She waited for this day to confirm it herself.

She had hoped Gu Mingzhu would deny it.

She hoped there would be some hidden truths unknown to outsiders.

But there were none.

Gu Mingzhu personally admitted that she had intentionally caused her mother’s death.

Yangyang felt like it was all a cruel joke from the heavens.

Since she married Qi Chen, she had always respected this sister-in-law.

But why ended up this way? Why was this the outcome?

Yangyang got her answers, they were all within her expectations.

But during this time, she hadn’t dared to think about what she would do once she confirmed it.

If Gu Mingzhu was indeed the person who killed her mother, what was she supposed to do?

Gu Mingzhu said she could take revenge in any way she wished, but she had never considered how to avenge, how to face all of this.

“You should divorce Ah Chen,” Gu Mingzhu continued. “I wont allow someone who could potentially harm him to be his wife. Given how much you hate me now, I doubt you two will end up together.”

Yangyang laughed, “Divorce, why should I divorce him? You said I could take revenge in any way, right? I’ve figured it out. The best revenge is to hurt those you care about the most.”

These words seemed to come out without much thought from Yangyang.

All she wanted now was to see Gu Mingzhu suffer and break down.

True enough, a look of disbelief emerged on Gu Mingzhu’s face.

She couldn’t believe that a girl in her twenties could utter such twisted words.

It was almost like seeing her younger self.

Why did she do those things to Tan Zhen back then?

Wasn’t it because Tan Zhen was the one Gao Wenbin cared about the most?

If Tan Zhen suffered, Gao Wenbin would suffer too.

And for that, she had spiraled into madness, twisted and ended up in the abyss…
