Gu Yin lifted her chin. “Since you’re so nice to Meng Jinyang, you must have taught her right? Yet, her results are so so.”
Gu Mang’s gaze became even more terrifying as she lowered her head and flicked the ashes off her cigarette. “Continue.”
“Who in the country doesn’t know Meng Jinyang now? Who doesn’t know that she was assaulted when she was five years old? She is pretty pathetic. Haven’t you realized that only Shen Huan and the rest befriended her in Class Twenty? Everyone sympathizes with her but nobody dares go near her. They treat her like a virus and keep her at a distance.”
A chilly ruthlessness surfaced in Gu Mang’s eyes. Because of what happened in the past Meng Jinyang’s life was like this…
“You chose this yourselves. You could have left the school with her back then but you did not.” Gu Yin sneered. “If Meng Jinyang didn’t say, nobody would have known. Yet, you made her expose herself and caused her to end up like this. Everyone thinks you treat her very well. Gu Mang, not only are you pretending, you’re hypocritical.”
Gu Mang lifted her eyes. They were dark, icy, and bloodshot red. “You really know how to play.”
Gu Yin narrowed her eyes. “Unfortunately, both of you did not leave. I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Yin found herself staring down the barrel of a gun. She met Gu Mang’s cold and sinister eyes. Gu Mang’s eyes were filled with obvious killing intent.
She froze, fear rising inside her.
“Gu… Gu Mang…, how dare you bring a gun to the presidential palace…” Her voice quivered and her eyes widened. She froze where she stood.
Gu Mang held the gun and cocked her head to one side. Her dark, icy eyes stared straight at Gu Yin and made her hair stand on end.
She cocked the gun slowly and smiled. “My mood was pretty good at first.”
Looking at her, Gu Yin’s heart was in her mouth. “What are you trying to do…”
“If no blood is shed, you won’t learn the lesson by heart,” said Gu Mang slowly.
Gu Yin’s face turned ashen. “How dare you! Have you forgotten that Dad and Mom’s will said that we’re not allowed to hurt each other!”
Gu Mang’s smile disappeared slowly as she narrowed her eyes. She lowered the gun. Her voice sent shivers down her sister’s spine. “Gu Yin, have you forgotten? I’ve never been obedient since I was a child.”
In an instant, Gu Yin could feel the pores on her back explode.
“This is the presidential palace…” She attempted to control her voice.
Gu Mang tugged at her lips nonchalantly and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Bang!
It was Gu Yin’s first time hearing a gunshot and she felt her eardrums burst. She shrieked in fear and fell on the ground pathetically. It was only later that she realized that Gu Mang had shot the ground.
Gu Mang squatted in front of her slowly and looked at Gu Yin, whose eyes were overwhelmed with horror. Smiling, she said, “Misfires happen. What do you think?”
“You…” Gu Yin’s eyes were fixated on her sister’s gun. Her lips trembled. “Don’t think that just because you’re connected with the Lu family now and have strong backing that you can do whatever you want.”
Gu Mang rested the muzzle on the ground in a roguish manner. It was obvious that she used the gun frequently. Gu Yin was reminded of the time in Changning County when Gu Mang had played with Gu Si’s toy gun.
Toy gun…
She felt like lighting had struck her brain and she shivered even more.
She did not know how long had passed until she saw Gu Mang smile. “Gu Yin, given your measly amount of guts, are you sure you can play with me?”
Gu Yin pursed her lips and stared. Gu Mang stood up gradually.
At this moment, people who had heard the gunshot rushed over. Lu Chengzhou and Joston led the pack.
