Hearing this, Gu Jianguo quickly waved his hand. "No, no, definitely not!" However, deep inside, he was seething with anger.
This little bast*rd was such a troublemaker. Nothing good would come out of any encounter with her.
"Hmph, you better keep your word!" Wu Chunhua looked at him and snorted coldly. Then, she gave Gu An'an another careful reminder before leaving with her husband.
A moment later—
After confirming that Mr. Yang and his wife had left, Gu Jianguo Immediately put on a fatherly posture and commanded Gu An'an., "You brat, come and kneel down quickly. Apologize to your mother and second sister. Also, hand over all the money you have to your mother for safekeeping. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death today!"
With that, he raised his hand and was about to slap Gu An'an's face.
Without Mr. Yang and his wife around, Gu Jianguo was no longer afraid. He wanted to deal with his daughter like how he usually did.
But little did he know…
He was going to suffer a big and unprecedented setback at the hands of his own daughter.
Just as Gu Jianguo's slap was about to land on Gu An'an, a gloating look appeared in Liu Mei'e and Gu Nana's eyes. With clenched fists and bated breaths, they waited in anticipation for the girl to be beaten up.
In the end…
"Ouch!!!"
Before his slap could land on his daughter's face, he was sent flying into the air by a kick from her. He flew straight from the middle of the courtyard and landed with a loud bang against the wall. Groaning in pain, Gu Jianguo collapsed on the ground.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
Immediately, two gulps sounded in the courtyard. Liu Mei'e and Gu Nana were completely dumbfounded. They stared at Gu An'an in horror. They couldn't believe that she dared to kick her own father.
"Gu Jianguo, before I leave for the countryside, I just want some peace at the Gu residence. So, you'd better not provoke me again. Do you hear me? Huh?"
Gu An'an slowly walked up to Gu Jianguo and looked down at him from her height. Her voice was cold with a menacing tone, sending shivers down one's spine.
"You… you…"
When Gu Jianguo heard her words, he looked up in pain and instantly met a pair of chilling black eyes. In that instant, the temperature in the air dropped abruptly, as if a gust of cold winter wind had blown into the courtyard. It felt absolutely chilling to the bone.
The anger in his heart instantly dissipated as he swallowed hard. Thinking of what his wife had said when he returned from work, Gu Jianguo couldn't help but regret his actions.
Gu An'an laughed coldly. "IIf you dare to appear in front of me again, heh, don't blame me for twisting your head off and kicking it like a ball! In any case, when I was knocked out by Liu Mei'e, my mother visited me in my dreams and said that it was better for a heartless father like you, to meet with an early death."
"So, please don't provoke me. It's hard to say when I'm in a bad mood, your heads might just separate from your necks while you lay sleeping at night!"
With that, her lips curled up slightly. Looking at the three of them, whose eyes were instantly filled with fear, Gu An'an returned to her room in a jovial mood.
"Mother, she… she… Mmm…"
"Shh!"
When Liu Mei'e saw that her youngest daughter was pointing a finger at Gu An'an, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. She quickly pressed down her youngest daughter's hand and covered her mouth. "Stop talking. She seems possessed today, daring to kick and threaten her own father. If you confront her now, you could put the baby in danger!
"But she, she…" The dress and shoes that Gu An'an was wearing belonged to her.
Earlier on, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts about the engagement, money, and dowry. She did not realize that Gu An'an was wearing her dress.
When she could finally think straight again, she realized that the dress and sandals looked a little familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized that they didn't just look familiar. In fact, they were the exact same ones she had bought just half a month ago..
It had been more than half a month since she bought them, and she had never worn them once. But now, Gu An'an was actually wearing them??
