Inside the study room, Grandma Gu asked Lan’s mother to close the door. Then, she directed her stern gaze at Gu En, "Is what they said true? You wanted to kill her by forcibly giving her drugs while she was sick, all because you don’t like your classmate He?"
"I didn’t! Grandma, they’re slandering me. Lin Chan’s grandmother also has this kind of medicine, it’s not just me who has it! As for the dormitory supervisor who saw me, they must be making it up or have been bribed!" Gu En vigorously shook her head, tears of innocence trickling down her face, full of grievance, "Grandma, mother, aunt, you must believe me!"
"Since you claim you didn’t do it, fine." Grandma Gu nodded her head, and suddenly extended her hand, "Didn’t you go to the post office this morning to pick up the sleeping pills your aunt newly sent for me from overseas? Hand over the medicine to me."
At Grandma Gu’s words, Gu En’s face instantly paled; she bit her lip, speechless.
Seeing Gu En’s reaction, Grandma Gu knew the answer. Her lifetime chance of getting those sleeping pills mailed by her niece from abroad seemed slim.
With her aged hand slightly trembling, she suddenly slapped Gu En’s face, which had also been hit by He Teng moments before, unable to control her rage, "Gu En! How did the Gu family produce such a cold-hearted and vicious girl like you? How did we raise you into a heartless murderer? No matter how much you despise He, she is a living human being. How could you treat her in such a cruel manner? Where has your conscience gone? Where is your humanity? Has it all been consumed by dogs? With the daughter of the Gu family becoming a murderer, do you wish the whole world to mock the Gu family? Do you wish to trample on the face of the Gu family under your foot?"
Everyone was stunned; no one expected Grandma Gu to suddenly swing her hand. Gu En held her swollen face, looking at Grandma Gu in disbelief, "Grandma, did you just hit me?"
"If I could, I’d wish to beat you to death!" Grandma Gu staggered, nearly fainting.
"Just because I made a move on someone surnamed He, you wish for my death, grandma?" Gu En bit her lip hard, "You ask why I did this? Because, she deserved to die! She deserved to die!" In the end, Gu En used all her strength to shout these last three words.
"Xiao’en, apologize to your grandma quickly!" Gu En’s mother was furious, grateful that her father-in-law wasn’t at home, else he might have been angered to death.
Yet, her mother had to admit, seeing Gu En still showing no remorse at this point and back-talking an elderly person, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Gu En was stunned for a moment, then slowly regained her senses, "Grandma, don’t be angry anymore, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Grandma, I don’t want them to take me away. Chen Yun and Lin Chan are so wicked, they will surely kill me in jail! Grandma, save me! You can’t just ignore me~"
Only at this moment did Gu En realize, that this wasn’t the time for her to throw a tantrum. Downstairs, Chen Yun was waiting with handcuffs.
"Save you? How can I, an old woman, save you?" Grandma Gu pounded her chest, shedding tears.
Downstairs, Chen Yun, timing the situation and seeing that no one was coming down, ran out of patience. He led his men upstairs, and arrived at the study room with audible voices. Trying the knob, he found the door locked, so he turned to He Teng and said, "Mr. He, it’s your turn!"
Without hesitation, He Teng kicked the door open with one foot, startling everyone inside.
"It’s about time we left. Guys, handcuff Miss Gu and take her away!" Having said that, Chen Yun cast a glance at the people in the room, "Whoever obstructs will be arrested for obstructing official business, regardless of whether they’re an elder or old!"
