The weather on a June day could change so easily!

One moment, the sun was red and the sky was clear;

In the next moment, dark clouds filled the sky. Lightning flashed like silver snakes, thunder rumbled, and rain poured down at any moment.

Boom, boom…

A moment later, raindrops the size of beans poured down!

In the misty rain, such a scene was playing out in the front area of a luxurious villa!

“Bam!”

“Gu Qingming, you rebellious daughter, get lost. Get lost. In the future, I, Gu Jianguo, will never have a shameless daughter like you!”

A middle-aged man scolded a girl at the door angrily.

“Old Gu, calm down!” A middle-aged woman beside him kept patting the man’s chest and comforting him. “Ming’er, she was just confused for a moment. Let’s persuade her. Don’t be angry and ruin her health!”

Gu Jianguo still said angrily, “A moment of folly? She slept with a man in a moment of folly. When she was pregnant, she wanted to coerce us into agreeing to her relationship with that man?

Mrs. Gu immediately fell silent. Then, she looked around expressionlessly and noticed a mop in the corner that the servant had yet to collect.

She picked up the mop and ignored the pouring rain. In the heavy rain, she grabbed the mop head and immediately swung the long stick at Gu Qingming’s calf.

She scolded, “You heartless little thing. Your father and I took pains to raise you. When we held you in our hands, we were afraid that you would fall. But now, not only are you having an affair with a man with evil intentions, you even had a child to anger your parents. See if I don’t beat you to death, you rebellious girl. You’re really infuriating.”

Mrs. Gu was really swift and decisive. She scolded and hit him at the same time.

When Gu Jianguo saw his wife flare up, he was first stunned and widened his eyes. Then, he reacted and rushed over into the rain. He immediately snatched the mop from his wife’s hand and threw it far away. He patted Mrs. Gu’s back and comforted her, “Honey, calm down, calm down!”

If it wasn’t for the heavy rain, they would have seen the cold sweat on Mr. Gu’s head.

How long had it been since he had seen his wife so angry? Once his wife became angry, the consequences would be very serious.

As Mr. Gu comforted Mrs. Gu, he turned around and shouted at Gu Qingming, “Get lost! If you insist on being with that man, then take it that your mother and I never had you as a daughter.”

After saying that, he ignored Gu Qingming’s reaction and said gently to Mrs. Gu, “Wifey, it’s raining heavily now and you’re drenched. You need to change quickly, or you’ll catch a cold.”

Then, Father Gu instructed the servants to make ginger soup to help his wife get rid of the cold!

At this moment, Gu Qingming was confused when she heard Mr. Gu’s words. Then, she saw Mr. Gu helping Mrs. Gu into the house.

What was going on?

She had clearly been hit by a car. Even if she did not die, she would at least be half-dead. She should be in the hospital at this moment.

But why would she see her parents outside her house?

Could it be a terminal lucidity?

Panic shot through her at the thought.

She had finally come to her senses and wanted to spend time with her parents in the future. Unexpectedly, an accident happened.

Gu Qingming watched her parents leave and shouted anxiously, “Dad, Mom!”

As soon as the shouting stopped, she ran forward eagerly. She hugged each of them and cried, “Dad, Mom!”

She was the only daughter in the family. In the future, when she was no longer around, her parents would send her off. How sad and sorrowful she would be.

How would her parents survive in the future?

At the thought of this, she cried even louder and said loudly, “Dad, Mom, when I’m gone, you must live well. Don’t be sad because I’m gone.”

When Mr. and Mrs. Gu heard their daughter’s shout, they thought that she had changed her mind. Before they could think of anything else, their daughter hugged them.

Delighted, they thought their daughter had gotten over it. But when they heard their daughter’s words, they became more and more confused.

Mrs. Gu asked shakily, “Hubby when I attacked just now, I didn’t… didn’t hit her head, right?” As she spoke, she pointed at her head.

At this moment, Gu Jianguo said with uncertainty, “I don’t think you did?”

“If I didn’t hit her head, why is this child talking nonsense?” Mrs. Gu asked worriedly.

It was something about her being gone and telling them to live well and not to grieve. Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a farewell.

Before Father Gu could respond, Gu Qingming continued to cry sadly and hopelessly, “Dad, Mom, I was unfilial. I didn’t listen to you in the past and fell in love with a scumbag. I let you down and worried. But when I saw the scumbag’s true colors, fate didn’t let me go. Boohoo… Dad, Mom, after I die, you guys will… Well, it hurts…”

The more Mr. and Mrs. Gu listened to their daughter, the more terrified they became. The uneasiness in their hearts intensified.

Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, “Hubby, did I really not break her brain just now?”

Father Gu was speechless.

He hesitated!

Had his wife really hit her daughter in the head?

However, the two of them did not hesitate for long. After hearing her daughter say “die”, Mrs. Gu’s expression changed. She could not help but slap her daughter’s head.

Mrs. Gu shouted in exasperation and amusement, “What are you talking about? We just don’t like you dating that man and getting married. We’re not asking you to die. What nonsense are you talking about?”

Gu Qingming, who was hit on the head, was speechless.

The rain was gone as quickly as it had come.

Just now, there was thunder and lightning. The heavy rain was like layers of curtains. But in the next moment, the sudden rain stopped and everything became clear.

Gu Qingming finally came back to her senses. She looked around in a daze before staring at the European-style luxurious villa. The villa was all too familiar. It was where she had grown up. It was her family home.

Why was she suddenly standing at her doorstep?

Gu Qingming was instantly puzzled.

Even if she had terminal lucidity, she must have been in the hospital after being hit so badly.

Gu Qingming’s gaze continued to wander. Then, unexpectedly, she met her parents’ disappointed, puzzled, and worried gazes.

Gu Qingming immediately shuddered.

Then, in disbelief, she shouted, “Dad, Mom!”
