Rumor has it that the woman, now four months pregnant, still appears slender and doesn't show. Disregarding the cold drizzle outside, she pushed open the door of the villa, only to see the high-end dark green SUV disappearing into the rain and fog.
Qin Xueyao stomped her foot in disappointment, and only when she saw Pei Nianchen's car drive into the Pei Mansion did she turn back to the villa, feeling resentful.
In the living room, Qin Zhennan, Ye Zhilin, and Qin Yishu were present, their faces showing dissatisfaction, evidently disturbed by today's events.
At this moment, there was an additional person in the living room, Qin Family's eldest son, Qin Yiheng.
This person appeared gentle and refined, courteous and poised, even his speech was warm and pleasant.
Gu Jiayin walked into the living room; he was the only one who greeted her politely.
Ye Zhilin glared venomously at Gu Jiayin, her tone sharp, "You little bitch, you actually have the nerve to enter the Qin Family?"
Gu Jiayin's face remained calm, but her eyes were cold and piercing, striking Ye Zhilin's face, "This villa is the most expensive place in Licheng City. A naturally lowly woman like you, if you hadn't schemed against our Gu Family, you probably wouldn't have had a chance to even glance here in this lifetime." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novęlfire.net
"How dare you insult me!" Ye Zhilin stood up in fury, her temper greater than ever since she became a wealthy lady of a prestigious family these past years, "You're as cheap as your mother; I'll beat you to death today... Ah!"
Before she finished speaking, a cup of scalding tea was splashed on her mouth, instantly causing the skin to turn red and swollen like a peach.
Everyone stood up in shock, furiously glaring at Gu Jiayin.
But Gu Jiayin seemed indifferent, smiling prettily like a pear blossom in rain, "Mrs. Qin, I've heard hot water can kill germs. Your mouth is so filthy, I thought I'd help clean it up for you."
Ye Zhilin's lips were swollen like two sausages, the pain intolerable, each word she spit out was indistinct, unable to curse with the desired effect even if she were anxious.
Beside her, Qin Yishu finally dropped her pretentious lady-like demeanor, turning her head to Gu Jiayin, gritting her teeth, "Gu Jiayin, you seduced my fiancé as soon as you came back, and now you dare to hurt my mom. I'll definitely teach you a lesson today."
Saying this, Qin Yishu raised her hand, about to slap Gu Jiayin's face, filled with hatred, she put her full effort into it.
A loud slap echoed in the spacious living room, as if the air trembled a bit.
"Ah!" With this cry of pain, Qin Yishu fell onto the sofa.
She was no match for Gu Jiayin.
When her hand was about to come down, Gu Jiayin swiftly reacted, gripping her wrist with her left hand and deftly slapped her with her right hand.
This slap left Qin Yishu dizzy, seeing stars and comets everywhere.
Gu Jiayin shook her slightly numb hand, "Qin Yishu, you mimic me everywhere, wearing white dresses, keeping long hair, even imitating my smile to show teeth, but too bad, after all these years, you couldn't grasp the essence, instead making me so sick."
As she spoke, Gu Jiayin picked up a fruit knife from the table, grabbed Qin Yishu's long hair, and with a pretty flick, the knife blade drew graceful arcs in the air, the sound of the scissors' friction softly echoing.
Instantly, long hair turned into short hair.
The whole process took no more than ten seconds.
This knife-handling technique, like those in martial arts dramas, once again shocked everyone in the living room.
Qin Zhennan pointed at Gu Jiayin with trembling fingers, "Jiayin, what... what are you doing?"
Gu Jiayin released the still dizzy Qin Yishu, threw away the fruit knife, and patted the shredded hair stuck to her clothes, "I'm helping you discipline your daughter, mimicking me everywhere is too disgusting."
If it had been in the past, Qin Zhennan would have surely slapped her, showing no mercy to Gu Jiayin, but now, he dared not, because of Sheng Qianchi's words.
This morning, Sheng Qianchi clearly announced that Gu Jiayin belonged to him.
Who would dare touch someone belonging to Sheng Qianchi?
Just minutes after returning to the Qin Family, Gu Jiayin had subdued Ye Zhilin and Qin Yishu completely.
At this moment, Qin Xueyao returned to the living room in disappointment, seeing Gu Jiayin being so audacious, her anger was further fueled, "Gu Jiayin, you bitch, you stole my fiancé and dare come to the Qin Family to cause trouble."
Saying this, Qin Xueyao took a few steps forward, raising her hand to slap Gu Jiayin, her technique seemingly inherited, identical to both Ye Zhilin and Qin Yishu.
However, Qin Xueyao, probably being a big star for too long, carried a proud aura of a celebrity, certainly using this to bully her assistants.
Gu Jiayin was unhurried, slightly lifting her slender leg, perfectly timing as Qin Xueyao approached, tapping the toe of her shoe against her belly.
Of course, she wouldn't harm the fetus; after all, that was Pei Nianchen's child, she had some grace.
"Qin Xueyao, you really haven't grown at all, everything's fine except your pig brain. If you lose the child in your rashness, entering the Pei Family would be even less possible."
Standing half a head taller than Qin Xueyao, Gu Jiayin naturally exuded a superior aura, calm yet pressuring Qin Xueyao immensely.
Should've been arrogant, yet hearing Gu Jiayin's words, Qin Xueyao immediately clutched her belly defensively, retreating a few steps, warily watching her, fearing harm to her child.
This child was her biggest leverage.
Gu Jiayin disdainfully retracted her long leg, brushed her clothes, and turned to Qin Zhennan, her manner lazy, "I'm tired, need rest, Dad, is my room still reserved?"
She certainly knew it wasn't; she used to be the only legitimate daughter in this home, staying in the best room, a princess room specially built for her by her grandfather when constructing this villa, and it goes without saying, Qin Yishu must have occupied it now.
Sure enough, Qin Zhennan said with some difficulty, "Your old room, Yishu is living there now, I'll have someone arrange another room for you."
"That won't do." Gu Jiayin coldly refused, "That room was specifically built by Grandfather for me, what right does an illegitimate daughter have to live there?"
At this moment, Qin Yishu finally regained her senses, touching her swollen cheek, seeing the bits of hair on the floor, her heart brimming with hatred.
Upon hearing Gu Jiayin wanting to take her room, she angrily stood up again, "Who are you calling an illegitimate daughter? I'm now the Qin Family's eldest daughter, and you're only an orphan."
"Orphan?" Gu Jiayin looked at Qin Yishu with amusement, her cold elegance bewitching, "At least I have a dad, are you wishing him to die early?"
"This..." Qin Yishu turned to Qin Zhennan, a hint of fear, "Dad, I didn't mean that."
Qin Zhennan impatiently waved his hand, "Enough, Jiayin's right, that room was indeed specially built by her grandfather, now that she's back, it should be vacated for her."
"Dad!" Qin Yishu pleaded with Qin Zhennan, it wasn't just losing the room to her, but losing her dignity.
Seven years ago, she dreamed of stepping Gu Jiayin underfoot. But today, she was completely defeated.
