Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Her Time to Cry Will Come
"What in the..." Everyone was startled.
The Kilian couple quickly shielded the children in front of them, and the bodyguards, earning their keep, reacted instantly to restrain Ye Zuiyi.
"Let me go!" Ye Zuiyi thrashed with all her might as the bodyguards pinned her down.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Gu Zhao.
"This is all your fault! Why do you insist on fighting me for everything!"
Gu Zhao yawned and crossed her arms, watching her. "Who’s the one trying to steal things here? You came running over just to curse me out!"
Gu Zhao looked up at the sky and spread her arms wide. "Oh, heavens! Oh, earth! How can an idiot like this even exist in modern times!"
"Gu Zhao, you shouldn’t exist!" Ye Zuiyi couldn’t describe her own feelings. She just felt that something was quietly slipping away from her.
The feeling terrified her.
[Is there something seriously wrong with Ye Zuiyi? She just ran over and started acting crazy.]
[Something’s not right with Ye Zuiyi. Her eyes are so red she looks like she wants to eat someone. Did she get possessed?]
[Who’s stealing from whom? From the looks of it, she’s probably the one who tried to steal something and failed.]
[OMG, it’s a good thing the bodyguards are holding her down. Otherwise, she’d probably charge forward and bite someone.]
"What are you doing! Let my sister go!" Ye Zexi rushed forward, shoved the bodyguards aside, and pulled Ye Zuiyi into a protective embrace.
Feeling the warmth of Ye Zexi’s body, Ye Zuiyi immediately burst into tears.
Although he didn’t understand what was wrong with his sister, his heart ached seeing her cry so much.
He immediately turned to Gu Zhao. "Yibao is just overtired and emotional. Stop provoking her on purpose."
He looked at Gu Zhao with undisguised resentment. In his eyes, Yibao was only like this because Gu Zhao had stolen her identity for five years. If Yibao had grown up in the Ye Family, she would never have turned out this way.
This was all because she had suffered and felt insecure.
Gu Xulin let out an incredulous laugh. "Oh, my Gu Xiao Zhao is overtired and emotional too. If you keep intimidating her, she’s going to drag me with her to jump off a building."
[Damn! So the whole Ye Family is crazy! Making a note to avoid all Ye Family products! I’m afraid I’ll catch their crazy if I use them.]
[Brother Lin is right! Our poor Monkey King is so delicate and fragile, it’s so hard for her to just lie there! And on top of that, she’s forced to face these morons.]
Zhong Mingrui tilted his head, glanced at Big King lying there perfectly comfortably, and after two seconds of silence, nodded.
’Big King has been lying down for so long. She must be exhausted.’
"I’ll go jump off a building with Big King too!" Zhong Mingrui pledged his loyalty.
Song Yi refused to be outdone.
The Kilian couple looked at Ye Zuiyi with a particularly strange expression. ’Kids these days are terrifying...’
’They thought their own daredevil Elsa was enough of a handful, but they never expected to find an even bigger terror in another family.’
’The kid is a terror, and the adult isn’t reliable either... Their whole way of thinking is messed up.’
"Gu Xulin, why are you arguing with a child! My sister is only five years old!" Ye Zexi glared at Gu Xulin, his displeasure obvious.
"I’m supposed to just stand by while someone tells my sister to die? If I don’t make a fuss, I might as well be dead! A child? My Little Zhao is a child, and so am I! I have the mental age of a three-and-a-half-year-old!" Gu Xulin rolled his eyes.
"Brother! *Sob, sob*... It was Gu Zhao who took everything from me! Why does she keep fighting me for everything... *waaah*..." Ye Zuiyi couldn’t stop crying.
Ye Zexi’s heart broke for her. Any goodwill he’d felt toward Gu Zhao vanished in an instant. "Gu Zhao, apologize!"
He assumed that when Yibao said Gu Zhao "took" things, she was talking about her identity.
’Ye Zexi truly saw Gu Zhao as a menace! The Ye Family had raised her, and not only was she ungrateful, but she was even targeting his real sister.’
’On top of that, they had been working hard all day while Gu Zhao was just lying there, enjoying a life of ease! Selfish and self-serving! She had no thought of helping him, the brother who had protected her for five years!’
’He was finally seeing her true colors! Gu Zhao was nothing but an ungrateful wretch!’
Gu Zhao had to hand it to them. She’d never realized people could be this shameless.
"Apologize to your ancestors’ dog shit. Here’s a suggestion: a brain is an everyday tool. Could you please stop perching it on your neck like a turd? You were already ugly enough, and now you stink, too!"
Gu Zhao was truly in despair!
’When I get back, I’m definitely going to have my fourth brother help me get certified as mentally ill!’
’I want a license to beat people up!’
Ye Zexi took a deep breath, but it failed to calm the rage in his heart. His cheeks flushed with agitation, and his voice became exceptionally stern. "Gu Zhao, did a dog eat your manners?!"
"They went into your stomach."
"You!" Ye Zexi felt a breath catch in his throat, leaving him speechless.
"You what? You only have one face. Can’t you be a little more sparing with how you lose it?" Gu Xulin said, looking at Ye Zexi with disdain.
’I’ve seen morons before, but never one this idiotic.’
Gu Xulin glanced at Gu Zhao with pity. "After living with them for five years, it’s a miracle you only became a little fool instead of a complete moron."
Gu Zhao: ???
’Why do I get the feeling my brother is insulting me?’
"Bro, it hasn’t been easy for you either. Living with our other NPC-like brothers for so long, it’s a real feat that you still feel human."
The two shared a moment of mutual sympathy.
’Ye Zuiyi was furious! This goddamn world! What the hell was the Heavenly Dao playing at! Was she the female lead, or was Gu Zhao?! This fucking useless Heavenly Dao might as well just drop dead!’
’Gu Zhao, a mere supporting character, was about to become the female lead!’
KABOOM!
"AHH!!" Ye Zuiyi screamed, scared to death as a bolt of lightning struck the ground not far in front of her.
Ye Zexi was terrified as well. He looked completely shell-shocked, and his legs trembled.
[Oh my god, oh my god! Was that actual divine retribution??]
[Our Monkey King is protected by the heavens!! Long live the Monkey King!]
[Serves her right. That’s what you call bringing disaster upon yourself with your own words.]
[Let’s not call her Yibao anymore. From now on, she’s Evil-bao.]
’Gu Zhao was stunned. Why would the Heavenly Dao strike even the female lead??’
’Could its aim be that bad? Was it trying to strike me and missed?’
Gu Xulin silently took a few steps back, away from them. Even the bodyguards retreated quickly.
A thunderbolt from a clear sky. This was seriously freaky!
After that incident, the two of them finally behaved, but the looks they shot Gu Zhao were still exceptionally resentful.
Gu Zhao glanced at them, then settled back down. "Gimme a grape."
Zhong Mingrui ate one himself, then fed one to Gu Zhao.
’One for Big King, one for me!’
"It’s a little hot..."
Song Yi quickly started fanning her with his little hands.
Elsa also ran over to join the fun, giving Gu Zhao a leg massage.
Seeing this, Ye Zuiyi looked like she was about to explode with rage.
’What gives Gu Zhao the right?!’
Ye Zuiyi lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with hatred. ’I have to kill Gu Zhao!’
’I remember from my past life, the next episode is on a snowy mountain...’
’Encountering an avalanche... having a fatal accident... that’s perfectly normal, isn’t it...’
’Gu Zhao! You’re forcing my hand!’
The thought that everything would return to its original track after Gu Zhao died soothed her somewhat.
Ye Zexi was still angry, fuming at Gu Zhao.
’He felt that Gu Zhao was getting arrogant! Did she really think the Gu Family had truly accepted her?’
’Heh, how naive.’
’He’d heard that there was a female cousin in the Gu Family who was especially doted upon.’
’Sooner or later, her time to cry would come!’
...
「The Gu Family Estate.」
"Second Brother! Why didn’t you guys tell me you found your sister? Don’t you want me anymore?" a little girl in a princess dress whined, her face a mask of grievance.
Gu Yunqi was sitting on the sofa reading a document, the incessant whining buzzing in his ears. He lifted his eyes for a moment. "Your ’Second Brother’? Do I know him? And also, who ever said we wanted you?"
"Can you please not insult me like this?"
Gu Jiao’s eyes reddened. "Second Brother..."
The butler, standing to the side, tried hard to suppress a laugh. ’This young cousin really never learns her lesson.’
’She gets thrown out every time, and yet she dares to come back every time.’
Gu Yunqi glanced at the old butler, who was struggling to hold in his laughter. "Uncle Fu, if you let her in again, I’ll start accepting your takeout deliveries and feeding them to the dogs."
Uncle Fu was horrified! ’How can he abuse an old man like this! I only have two hobbies: eating takeout and drinking milk tea!’
"Young Master! I’ll throw her out right now!" Uncle Fu grabbed the girl and scurried away.
Gu Jiao was still in a daze by the time she was tossed out the door.
’I actually got thrown out earlier than usual today!’
’Damn it!’
’There goes the allowance my parents promised me!’
