Nianyang stared at the girl in front of her who was wearing a sea-blue checkered dress. She had an oval face and slender eyes. This was the original owner’s white lotus sister who had a poisonous heart.

She thought of how the Host had treated her wholeheartedly in her previous life. Even if her parents were biased, the Host had never complained. She had even thought of ways to save money to buy delicious food for Gu Youlan.

The Host’s sincerity resulted in Gu Youlan taking things from the Host even more naturally. Even the Host’s fiancé, Zhang Zhiqiang, was seduced by her.

Gu Youlan felt a chill down her spine under Nianyang’s cold gaze. She forced a smile and said, “Yangyang, did you hear someone say something? Don’t misunderstand. Our mother definitely feels sorry for you. Mom has been worried about us going to university next year, so her temper is inevitably worse. I asked you to wash my clothes last night because Mom was not feeling well during her period and I happened to fall asleep. The rain was unexpected too. We didn’t expect you to suddenly have a fever and faint. As for stopping you from taking the exam, that’s even more impossible. You have to forgive our mother.”

Gu Youlan knew how to speak very well. She made it sound as if Nianyang was being unreasonable.

Looking at Gu Youlan’s emotional and reasonable performance, Nianyang sneered in her heart. Did she still think she was the silly original owner of the body?

She still had the cheek to show off such clumsy acting skills in front of her. After all, she had lived for 25 years in her previous life and had watched so many palace dramas.

Besides, didn’t you, Gu Youlan, rely on pretending to be elegant, gentle, and kind to get the love of the neighbors and townspeople?

Now, let’s see how she would tear off her “good sister’s” mask bit by bit. Then, she would pay back double what Gu Youlan had done to the original owner!

Nianyang was even better at acting than Gu Youlan. “Sister, you don’t have to lie to me anymore. If Mom really wanted me to take the exam, why did she buy a lock and close the door? She knew that I had a high fever but she still hit me. She didn’t even buy me medicine. In the past, Mom was so nervous that she wanted to bring you to the clinic every time you caught a cold!”

Gu Youlan’s expression froze. Nianyang took advantage of the situation and continued, “Besides, don’t you know how Mom treats me? Sister, I’m clearly the younger sister, but I’ve been doing housework since I was young. I’ll be beaten up if I slack off even a little. Mom said that the hands of a girl are very important and can’t be soaked in water, so she never lets you do housework, but she treats me like a slave. Am I not a girl? My hands are forced to wash clothes with cold water in the middle of winter. The frostbites I get are itchy and I don’t even have a patch of healthy skin, but Sister, your hands are fair and tender. Moreover, because I’ve never eaten a mouthful of meat or fish, I almost fainted because of malnutrition in gym class several times. How can I forgive her?”

By the time Nianyang reached the end of her sentence, her emotions had already been replaced by the original owner of her body. She felt aggrieved and unfair towards her parents for being biased. Tears streamed down her face.

The surrounding neighbors’ eyes turned red. They had lived in this courtyard together for decades. They had never thought that the second daughter of the Gu family would live a life that was worse than pigs and dogs. The Gu couple was really too much. This was no longer biasedness. They were simply not fit to be parents!

Gu Yuandao broke out in a cold sweat under the disdainful gazes of the surrounding people. He did not know how to resolve the current situation. If he did not think of a way to clarify things, the news of him abusing his youngest daughter would spread throughout town tomorrow.

Gu Youlan was stunned. It was as if Gu Nianyang had become a different person. Her words were so imposing. Her personality was completely different from the sandbag-like personality she used to have, she agreed to whatever she said in the past!

Gu Youlan suddenly felt a sense of danger. She felt that she might not be able to control Gu Nianyang anymore!

Wang Ying, who had come back to her senses, saw that the situation was turning towards Nianyang. She immediately explained anxiously, “Neighbors, don’t believe this stubborn girl’s words! She’s slandering me. I’m her biological mother. How can I not dote on her? I’m just letting her do the housework to train her. I’m not giving her meat and fish because I’m afraid that no one will want her if she gains weight. As for hitting her often, that’s even more impossible!”

Gu Youlan said, “That’s right, Yangyang. How can you slander Mom? Mom is your biological mother, not your stepmother. Even if I beat you up, it’s just a light hit. As daughters, how can we take revenge on our biological mother?”

Nianyang was so angry that she laughed. She rolled up her sleeves and revealed the bruises on her arms that Wang Ying had left behind when she hit the Host. “Sister, do you think this is a small hit? Mom was just short of killing me. She almost broke my leg the last time. You were watching from the side when I was beaten. I knelt on the ground and cried for you to save me, but you were watching the show from the side. Mom doesn’t treat me as her daughter, and you don’t treat me as your sister!”

Everyone was furious when they saw the wounds on Nianyang.

“Oh my, the Gu couple is really something. They’re trying to torture their daughter to death. It hurts just looking at them!”

“That’s right. She usually pretends to be harmonious, but who knew that her heart had gone astray? The poor second daughter of the Gu Family was tortured until she couldn’t even stand straight!”

“It seems like the oldest daughter is not a good person either. She usually pretends to be sensible and dearly calls her Yangyang in front of everyone. I thought she was a good sister. I didn’t expect her to ignore her sister who was beaten half to death. She’s so vicious!”

Hearing everyone’s words, Gu Yuandao and Gu Youlan were so embarrassed that they could not raise their heads.

Oh no.

The good reputation and image that they had meticulously protected were completely destroyed!

Wang Ying blushed when her lie was exposed. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “That’s right, I did hit her. That’s because she was insensible and angered me! And this wretched girl hit me first this afternoon! Why? As her mother, I’m feeding her. Don’t I have the right to educate her?”
