But this is your relationship with her.
And for me and her, we are irreconcilable enemies."
Gu Jiansheng bit his lip, his face flushed with shame, but still, he clenched his teeth and persisted.
Because he knew about the unspoken agreement his mother had with Gu Qingfeng.
However, when he saw his grandmother hanging on to life by a thread,
he really couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.
He even thought about plunging a knife into his grandmother’s chest.
In the end, he put it down.
He couldn’t bring himself to kill his grandmother.
Even though doing so would have been a release for her.
And he also didn’t know what exactly was going on here.
He had to figure it out before he could make any plans.
Recently, his mother had become very determined.
She wouldn’t even let him speak,
nor would she allow him to see Ning Wanru.
He knew his mother harbored hatred towards his grandmother, and he also knew that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships around the world generally weren’t great.
He used to think it was just a simple family dispute.
But he had never expected it to be so serious.
Now he could do nothing; the only thing he could hope for was for his grandmother to die in her sleep.
After a long silence, he finally murmured, "I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, Qiaoqiao, I didn’t know grandmother had done so many bad things, but I still came to you today without distinguishing right from wrong. It’s my fault, all my fault."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Jiansheng and continued, "Let’s not talk about the grudges of the older generation, just take our family and the hatred between your grandmother and your father, Gu Jiansheng, let’s clear things up today once and for all."
Gu Jiansheng nodded with difficulty.
"Ning Wanru was determined to consider the Gu Family’s fortune as her own, so she planned to eliminate the Gu Family’s descendants one by one."
"At first, she didn’t know where my grandfather was, but she found him before the Great Grandfather did."
"She then learned that my grandfather had already passed away."
"At that time, to prevent the Great Grandfather from recognizing us, she sent some people to Qingshui County."
"Your elder brother played a role in this as well."
"She also sent a female teacher to seduce and entrap my father."
"At that time, it was a two-pronged approach."
"First, they framed and entrapped, then they abducted people, knocked them unconscious, and threw them into the river, creating the illusion of suicide."
"Let’s hypothesize for a moment; if Captain Zhou and I had not arrived in time that day, my father would certainly have died."
"If my father died, my mother definitely couldn’t have withstood the shock, and moreover, my father would have died carrying the accusation of attempted rape."
"Given my mother’s temperament, she would certainly fall ill and never recover."
"That way, only a younger brother and a younger sister would be left at home."
"At that time, we hadn’t been recognized by the Old Patriarch and were still helpless and alone."
"Then I guess, she wouldn’t stop there."
"Just considering the Curse of Extinction she buried under the old locust tree at Gu Garden decades ago, I know your grandmother would not rest until Gu Qingfeng’s lineage was exterminated."
"So, the three of us would not have survived."
Gu Jiansheng’s chest heaved, his body trembled slightly.
He knew, Gu Qiaoqiao’s assumptions could very well be true.
Gu Qiaoqiao continued, "Assuming none of this had happened, let’s now talk about the incident at Reed Lake..."
"You probably already know, your grandmother had a hand in that as well."
"Back then, if those people had successfully kidnapped me and sold me to a Demon’s Lair abroad, you know what kind of place that is, right?"
