Chapter 5: Daring to Hit Even Your Own Mother?
"Gu Zhiqi! You little slut! I'll beat you to death!"
Gu Zhiqi dodged Zhang Xiuli's claws and even rewarded her with a kick.
Zhang Xiuli was kicked directly onto the ground, landing on her butt.
She intended to get up, but it was too painful, and she couldn't do it at the moment, so she simply didn't bother to try, sitting on the ground, crying and cursing.
"You bring bad luck, even daring to hit your own mother, no wonder the Gu Family doesn't want you."
"You cursed child, don't even think about following me into the Yuk Family."
"I should never have kept you, I should have strangled you from the start."
...
All sorts of ugly words were hurled out.
Sitting on the ground without any image, her ladylike demeanor swept away, she sat there cursing like a fishwife.
Gu Zhiqi completely ignored her, treating her like air.
Tang Yun was utterly stunned by the scene; she knew Zhang Xiuli was heartless.
But she had never imagined that a mother and daughter could be even more incompatible than sworn enemies.
She stood to one side, looking dazed at the farce unfolding before her eyes.
She had never met Gu Zhiqi before, this was her first time seeing her.
Aside from the rumors about Gu Zhiqi, the first thing that Tang Yun noticed was her beautiful face.
She had long heard about her bad temperament, but now...
She even dared to hit her own mother?
Tang Yun instinctively took several steps back.
...
Zhang Xiuli's curses had never stopped, like a machine gun, continuously rattling on without pause.
The noise grew louder and louder, and at last, it attracted a nurse, "Room 107, keep it down, you're disturbing the other patients."
Zhang Xiuli's stream of curses was interrupted, and she turned her head, glaring at the nurse with a face full of anger.
"Do you know who I am? I am the lady of the Yuk Family of Yan City, how dare you speak to me like that."
Hearing this, the nurse pursed her lips and spoke with displeasure, "I don't care who you are; if you keep making noise, I'll call security."
After saying that, she gave Zhang Xiuli a glare and quickly left.
"Pah! What do you think you are, daring to tell me what to do..." Before she could finish her tirade, she was interrupted by an empty paper cup hitting her, silencing the rest of her words.
Zhang Xiuli turned her head, her face full of rage as she looked toward Gu Zhiqi, who had thrown the paper cup at her.
"You little whore, how dare you hit me! It serves you right to be raped, why don't you just..."
"Enunciate clearly, look at the camera and continue your rant," Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyelids slightly and, holding up her phone aimed at Zhang Xiuli, spoke.
"What... what are you doing?!" Zhang Xiuli raised her voice.
"Letting the online community see Madam Yuk's upbringing, come on, don't stop, keep cursing."
Yuk Family of Yan City?
To marry such a thing?
Must have shit in their eyes.
Zhang Xiuli's pupils shrank upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, "Stop filming, you have no right!"
If this got out, she would be done for.
Having married into the Yuk Family, she was already the subject of much mockery in the elite circles of Yan City.
Her mother-in-law had never looked highly upon her, and if they saw her like this, they would seize the chance to further criticize her.
Grinding her teeth, Zhang Xiuli pushed herself off the ground with one hand, staggering up and heading toward Gu Zhiqi with her dislocated arm, "Give me that phone."
"If you're not afraid of having the other arm dislocated, then by all means come over," Gu Zhiqi said lazily, holding up the phone and leaning against the head of the bed, her gaze falling on Zhang Xiuli's arm as she spoke calmly.
At these words, Zhang Xiuli halted in her tracks and instinctively took a few steps back.
"Gu Zhiqi, how can you be so venomous? I'm your mother."
"A white-eyed wolf indeed, one that wasn't raised by my side..."
"If you don't want this video popping up online, then get the hell out," Gu Zhiqi's brows showed a trace of impatience as she cut off Zhang Xiuli's words.
