Gu Ruochu stared blankly at the messages she had received and guessed that the person was probably a man.
However, she did not know what the mysterious individual meant.
Gu Ruochu felt terrified as she read the cryptic messages one more time. Perhaps there was something much scarier that she did not know about.
"..."
Ever since her kidnapping, Gu Yanwei had stayed in her room, and she did not come out. Every time someone came to check up on her, she would throw a tantrum and kick them out. One of the maids knocked on her door and waited patiently.
"Get lost!"
The maid's face turned red.
Gu Yanwei's temper was getting worse.
"Xiao Nan, go cut some fruits for me and bring them over." Gu Yanwei ordered the maid through the door.
Zhang Yuan had already promised to send her to Country M and set her up as a socialite. When that time came, she would be promoted to run Chairman Ning's many business interests in Country M.
Gu Yanwei was looking forward to moving to Country M.
Zhang Yuan had also promised to carry out vengeance on her behalf.
After failing to bring down Gu Ruochu after so many tries, it seemed that Zhang Yuan would finally eliminate her.
A devious smile formed on Gu Yanwei's face when she thought about Gu Ruochu's potential demise.
However, Gu Yanwei had not seen Zhang Yuan for the past few days.
Since her incident, her godmother had always checked up on her. Gu Yanwei felt that it was strange that Zhang Yuan had not made an effort to see her.
"Yes." Xiao Nan was shocked when she saw Gu Yanwei open the door. She took a few steps back and hurried downstairs to prepare some fruits for her.
Gu Yanwei followed the maid down the stairs and sat lazily on the sofa.
As soon as Gu Yanwei sat down, she saw Zhang Yuan coming down from her room, and she smiled. "Mother, you've finally come downstairs."
"..."
Zhang Yuan glanced at Gu Yanwei coldly before saying indifferently, "I'm not your mom. From today onwards, don't call me mom anymore."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Gu Yanwei's face turned pale. Had she unintentionally offended Zhang Yuan?
"I said, don't call me that! I'm not your mom!" Zhang Yuan raised her voice and shouted. If it wasn't for Gu Yanwei, she wouldn't have made a move on Gu Ruochu. "Ruochu is my daughter. You knew that I had made a mistake, yet you didn't say anything. Why are you still so determined to continue profiting from Ruochu's identity?"
Gu Yanwei was shocked. The servants around her were also stunned.
"It just a misunderstanding. A mistake..."
"Take your luggage and get lost before I lose my temper." Zhang Yuan was already angry. "Butler, throw her out with her things."
"Mother!"
"Get lost!"
The butler and several other servants twisted Gu Yanwei's arm, and they pushed her towards the door.
The other servants looked on in surprise.
Zhang Yuan looked at Gu Yanwei and said sternly, "I have nothing to do with you. Get lost and find your true biological mother!"
The servants kicked Gu Yanwei out of the villa and also tossed out all of her belongings. The butler moved to close the door, but Gu Yanwei pounced on it pitifully. "No..."
The door slammed shut to her face.
Gu Yanwei began to despair.
Where would she find her biological mother?
It turned out that Zhou Yunxi was not her mother, and neither was Zhang Yuan.
She was an orphan, a bastard.
Gu Yanwei carried her luggage and walked towards the street in a daze. She had no money to survive.
She felt as if her head was about to explode.
"..."
Ever since Zhang Yuan had returned to Nan Cheng, Ning Tang had felt uncomfortable.
After all, Cheng Xi was still in Country M. They had agreed that they would always be with the child, and the family would always support Ning Tangxi and her child. Ning Tang called Zhang Yuan a few times, but she did not pick up the phone. He then decided to call the butler.
"Where's Madam?"
The butler was a little hesitant. He slowly said, "Madam has not come down from her room for the past few days. She even asked us to chase out Miss Yanwei."
"Can I speak to her?"
The butler felt a little guilty. He had overheard the Madam's conversation with Huo Nanchen and had passed on some of the details to Ning Zongxuan.
