Chapter 3: Exposing Her Shame

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Man stood at the entrance of the Gu residence and looked at the exquisite courtyard and the luxurious and low-profile villa. To be honest, she did not want to come back.

There were no beautiful memories here. It was a nest of demons!

However, she still had to familiarize herself with this unfamiliar world as the original owner of the body.

As for the nest of snakes and rats, Gu Man could not deal with them in the past. Now, she had plenty of ways to deal with them.

As soon as she walked in, she saw a large group of people waiting for her. If it were the original owner, she might have started crying.

However, at this moment, Gu Man smiled faintly at them.

Immediately, a middle-aged man with a vicious expression came forward. He had already swung his arm and was about to hit Gu Man’s face.

But how could Gu Man let him succeed? She retreated slightly and easily dodged it.

“You still dare to avoid it? You shameless thing, you’ve embarrassed the Gu family.”

Gu Man crossed her arms and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her casually. She did not understand why there was such a heartless father in the world.

Her father, Gu Yuan, had not only remarried less than half a year after her mother’s death, but he had also abandoned his only biological daughter to carefully take care of someone else’s daughter.

If it weren’t for his pride, she probably wouldn’t have been able to enter the door to the Gu family.

Gu Man did not want to waste her energy on them anymore. She had to end this quickly.

Hence, she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yuan, “What is it?”

“You still have the cheek to ask? The city is already filled with rumors. You caused the Gu family to be in such a state and you still have the cheek to come back.”

The person who replied was not Gu Yuan, but a middle-aged woman standing beside him.

Her stepmother, Qu Bei, was also her aunt.

“Han Cheng’s headlines are all videos of you seducing men. How shameless!” Qu Bei extended her phone in front of Gu Man.

In the video, Gu Man pulled Zhang Chuan to the hotel corridor and cried. After Zhang Yue shook her off, he entered the room and Gu Man followed closely.

Many vicious comments popped up on the video.

“The Gu family seems to be upright. I didn’t expect such a dirty thing to happen!”

“She’s really a country bumpkin. She’s not presentable!”

“They’re really worse than pigs and dogs. They even dare to taint their brother-in-law. The Gu family’s reputation is really rotten!”

“Gu Man looks weak, but she’s actually so scheming!” Gu Man was unmoved. They were a group of idiots who did not know the truth!

Qu Bei looked at her calm appearance, it was as if it had nothing to do with her. It was as if she saw Gu Man’s mother back then. She was always so calm in the face of danger. Gu Yuan liked her calmness and intelligence back then.

She hated seeing her look so cold and aloof. “You’re the same as your dead mother. You only know how to seduce men.”

“When it comes to seducing men, I don’t deserve your praise. Back then, you entered the Gu family in less than half a year. I admit defeat to such methods of yours!” Gu Man mocked. This woman in front of her was the great ancestor of all mistresses!

Qu Bei’s face froze. She knew best how she became Madame Gu.

Back then, Qu Bei’s parents had passed away and it was difficult for her back at home. Gu Man’s mother was her cousin, and the two of them were about the same age, so she often invited her to stay at their home.

Although on the surface, they got along extremely well and were like biological sisters, Qu Bei did not treat Gu Man’s mother as a sister.

Why did she have to live under someone else’s roof? Why did she have to look up to her often? Why could she marry Gu Yuan while she had to marry an ordinary, honest, and incompetent man?

Qu Bei had known Gu Yuan a long time ago and had promised him her heart.

After Qu Bei had a daughter, she got a divorce and lived with the Gu family with her daughter. Ever since Gu Man’s mother fell sick, Gu Yuan and Qu Bei got together. They secretly wished that Gu Man’s mother would die so that they could be together forever.

Gu Man didn’t know about the past, but the adults in her grandmother’s family knew about it. After Gu Man grew up and heard a little from them, she gradually knew.

Now that Gu Man mentioned it, Qu Bei recalled her disgraceful past. This damn Gu Man, why didn’t she die with her short-lived mother?

But she could not be angry now. Qu Bei instantly pretended to be aggrieved and lowered her head to cry.

“You rebellious daughter, I gave birth to you for nothing. You even dare to mock your elders! I should have beaten you to death long ago!” Gu Yuan exploded with anger.

Qu Bei’s embarrassing past was also his embarrassing past. He had gotten a new wife within half a year and had always been criticized. It had only gradually subsided in recent years.

Now that Gu Man had exposed her shame, how could he not be angry?
