Chapter 13
Mother is Truly Wicked
The veil fell and covered Gu Qingluan’s face again.
Gu Jinrong really wanted to tell himself that his eyes were playing tricks on him, but he would never mistake that face.
After all, there were not many people in the world who were so good-looking.
But wasn’t she dead?
Why would she appear here?
Back then, Gu Qingluan had an affair with someone and was even pregnant. She was expelled from the Gu family.
He thought that a good-for-nothing like her would not be able to survive outside. If she was still alive, it would be impossible for her to have disappeared without a trace. She would definitely ask the Gu family for help.
Even if she miraculously survived, she would still be clinging to the edge of death!
Why would she appear in such a dangerous area of the East Sea and possess such powerful strength?
“Qingluan, are you Gu Qingluan?”
He asked softly, his eyes longing for the other party’s denial.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect you to be the first person to recognize me.”
Gu Qingluan remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic after her identity was revealed. She leisurely removed her veil, and a slight curl appeared on her crimson lips. Her tone was languid and wicked as she said, “Third brother, long time no see.”
A stunning and peerless beauty emerged like a lotus from the water, captivating the eyes of everyone present.
The pirates were astonished by her breath-taking appearance.
What an extraordinary beauty!
On the other hand, Gu Jinrong’s hopes were shattered, and in an instant, he felt as if his heart and courage were about to burst. His entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He used to bully her with Gu Jinyue without any restraint, but now that they were in her hands, she wouldn’t spare them.
She had come for revenge!
She must be here for revenge!
He had fallen for her trick just now!
The thought of being played like a monkey, and having to harm his own sister by slapping her face, crippling her hand, and sewing her mouth shut, filled him with deep remorse.
Gu Qingluan was treating them like monkeys, and she would never let him and his sister off the hook!
No, he was Gu Qingluan’s cousin! They shared the same bloodline!
Gu Qingluan had been timid since childhood and yearned for family affection. As long as he put on an act, he believed he could soften her.
Gu Jinrong managed to suppress his fear and put on a surprised expression.” Big sister, is it really you? Where have you been all these years? We have been searching for you. After I learned that you were expelled from the family by our uncle, I looked for you for a long time, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find any trace of you. It’s a relief to see you safe and well now.”
“Ha!”
Gu Qingluan mocked and laughed.
“Third brother, you never change… Always so self-righteous!”
Gu Jinrong smiled awkwardly and suppressed the anger brewing inside him.
“Such disgusting hypocrisy!”
Gu Jinrong’s expression suddenly turned cold.
Gu Qingluan leaned on the chair’s armrest, supporting her face with her hand. With her other hand, she twirled a strand of hair, looking at him with a smile.
“Actually, it’s not out of the question for me to let you go.”
Gu Jinrong’s eyes brightened, but then he thought of something and his expression darkened.
“Even though I hold a grudge against you, we are still connected by blood. We don’t need to fight to the death. If you cripple your right hand, I can consider releasing you.”
“You…”
Gu Jinrong clenched his fists, feeling an overwhelming anger rising within him.
As a sword cultivator, his right hand was as vital as his life. What difference was there between this and taking his life away?
“You’ve crippled your sister’s hands, and now it’s your turn to experience it?”
“Your sister lost both her hands, but you still have one. I have been much more lenient with you, my dear third brother.”
Gu Jinrong’s expression grew increasingly worse.
Gu Xiaonan shook his head.
Mother was truly wicked!
Seeing that Gu Jinrong was about to explode from anger, Gu Xiaonan was determined to work hard and strive to become as capable as his mother!
“Seems like our dear third brother is unwilling. In that case, I can only suggest that you leave, so you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
Gu Jinrong suddenly lifted his head and locked eyes with a pair of icy cold eyes.
She was truly capable of killing him!
She wasn’t joking!
She was no longer the weakling who could be bullied and humiliated a few years ago!
