Gu Lanke was now set to be engaged to that man, and at this moment, she certainly couldn't afford to leave Mu Qingli, a major thorn in her side.
After all, the savior was Mu Qingli, and the young miss of the Gu Family was also Mu Qingli.
She was nothing but an imposter from beginning to end.
So, waiting for Mu Qingli was only one thing.
Death.
Only with Mu Qingli dead could Gu Lanke rest easy, and she could then comfortably play the role of the Gu Family's young miss.
Gu Lanke laughed very freely, "Mu Qingli, oh Mu Qingli, in this lifetime... you're only fit to be a stepping stone!"
Mu Qingli just watched Gu Lanke, her delicate phoenix eyes filled with blood.
No wonder Gu Lanke had been so kind to her previously, it turned out, she had been plotting from the very start.
But how did Gu Lanke know she was the real young miss of the Gu Family?
And how did Gu Lanke know the person she saved back then, had such a noble identity?
Things she didn't even know herself, how could Gu Lanke be so clear about them?
Could it be, Mu Lanke had the ability to foresee?
Gu Lanke smiled triumphantly, "You must be very curious about how I managed all this, right? Because in my previous life, I died of stupidity just like you, the me from before is the you now!"
That's right, Gu Lanke had been reborn!
In her previous life, Mu Qingli was successfully taken away by the Gu Family and from then on, transformed from a mountain chicken into a phoenix. The timid and cowardly farm girl suddenly became the young miss of the Gu Family, admired and envied by all.
Once Mu Qingli was gone, the spare heart for Mu Tianran was lost, and Gu Lanke, as the stepdaughter, became the sacrificial lamb, dying from her heart being harvested!
Gu Lanke, reborn in this lifetime, certainly couldn't repeat the same mistake. So, she crafted an innocent Mu Qingli into the sacrificial lamb, while she completely replaced Mu Qingli and became the much-envied young miss of the Gu Family, Gu Lanke.
Because Gu Lanke knew everything that happened in her former life, on the day when Mu Qingli first returned to the Mu Family, Gu Lanke became the affectionate little sister, gaining her trust and insidiously taking away everything she had, supplanting Mu Qingli and becoming the young miss of the Gu Family!
"Gu Lanke! You won't die a good death!" Mu Qingli's phoenix eyes tinted with a layer of blood, an aggressive aura emanating from her.
"I won't die a good death?" Gu Lanke's lips curled into a sinister smile as she joyfully retorted, "Right now, you are the one who won't die a good death! Look at yourself, you don't even have a heart, how can you fight me?"
Mu Qingli clenched her fists tightly, her phoenix eyes narrowed, her gaze landed on a scalpel on the table, and a glint flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Mu Qingli turned her gaze towards Gu Lanke, her lips so pale that not a hint of blood could be seen.
"What is it?" Gu Lanke narrowed her eyes.
"A secret, what, are you afraid to come over?" Mu Qingli's gaze was filled with mockery.
Mu Qingli was now a cripple, what could Gu Lanke possibly fear?
She bent down, bringing her face close to Mu Qingli's ear, "Speak."
Quietly, Mu Qingli picked up the scalpel and with all her strength, fiercely plunged it deep into Gu Lanke's left eye!
"Ah!" In the small medical room, agonizing screams instantly filled the space.
Blood immediately stained Gu Lanke's face red; she collapsed to the ground in convulsions, the intense pain occupying her entire consciousness.
At this moment, where was there even a trace of the 'Gu Family's young miss' demeanor in Gu Lanke?
Mu Qingli lay on the operating table, her cold gaze fixed on the bleeding Gu Lanke.
Suddenly, she let out a laugh. Her laughter was hoarse and bitter, like it was coming from the depths of hell, causing one's scalp to tingle.
Even if Gu Lanke didn't die today, from now on, she would only be a disfigured wreck. That man, known as the most noble in the Imperial City, would he fancy a wreck?
To live, sometimes is far more painful than to die.
"Mu Qingli! You little slut! I'm going to kill you!" Gu Lanke furiously pulled out the scalpel stuck in her left eye, and because she used too much force, her eyeball came out with it.
Where her left eye had been, there was now a gaping, bloody hole, like a female ghost crawled out from a horror film.
At this point, Gu Lanke could hardly feel anything; she was like a madwoman wielding the scalpel, stabbing wildly at Mu Qingli's body, with large amounts of fresh blood spurting out from Mu Qingli and spraying onto Gu Lanke's face!
Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.
Hearing the commotion in the medical room, the Gu Family's bodyguards broke in and were immediately shocked to see the scene before them. They cried out in horror, "Young miss, are you alright?"
With a blood-stained scalpel in hand, Gu Lanke muttered, "Kill that little slut!"
The bodyguards quickly pulled Gu Lanke away from beside the operating table, "Hurry, take the young miss to the hospital!"
Young miss?
Hmph.
What an ironic title.
Mu Qingli watched everything unfold before her and slowly closed her eyes.
Nobody noticed that a blue pearl had appeared in the palm of Mu Qingli's hand.
Mu Family, Gu Lanke, if I don't die today, I will surely make you long for death without being able to achieve it tomorrow!
Blood shall fill the sky... only then will I rest!
