"Leave? After such an incident, she thinks she can just walk away?" Gu Chunhai said coldly, "Do you really think our Gu Family is like your Wang Family?"

Wang Meili choked up.

Gu Chunhai's words were already quite disrespectful to her.

"I'm not leaving. If your Gu Family doesn't give me an explanation today, no one should think of leaving." Anyway, the Gu Family had already accepted their 'betrothal gift.' Without clinging to the Gu Family, what would happen to her daughter-in-law?

Initially, she planned to manipulate Gu Lingling, the motherless girl, once she entered the household, thinking Gu Juan, with a mother like Wang Meili, would be hard to control.

But now there's no choice, since her son had taken Gu Juan's purity.

Moreover, Gu Lingling was clearly out of the picture now. If she didn't seize the opportunity to catch Gu Juan, once news of her son being a fool spread, they could forget about finding him a normal wife in the future.

"Our Juanzi will absolutely not marry your son." Wang Meili said sternly, "I will return the betrothal money to you."

"Wang Meili, have you ever seen anyone's betrothal gift be over six hundred yuan? Return it? Does our Lv Family care about that little bit of money?" Wang Xintao sneered, "We're leaving first. You all discuss and decide which daughter will marry my son."

After saying this, she hurriedly left with her foolish son.

Wang Xintao was smarter than Wang Meili. If Gu Chunhai hadn't returned, she could still stay here, marrying Gu Lingling would do as well.

But now that Gu Chunhai was back, staying here wouldn't do her any good, so she quickly went back to discuss with Old Lv what to do.

"Betrothal gift? Wang Meili, you actually accepted her betrothal gift? Who were you intending to marry off to her foolish son?" Gu Chunhai laughed, thinking this woman wouldn't treat Gu Lingling the same as her biological daughter.

But she actually had the nerve to sell Gu Lingling like this.

How could she not think about possibly ruining Gu Lingling's life?

Wang Meili covered her mouth, earlier she was so angered by Wang Xintao that she blurted out about the betrothal money on her own.

Being questioned by Gu Chunhai in this way, she certainly didn't know how to answer, couldn't possibly admit to selling Gu Lingling, and could only hold the despondent Gu Juan and cry, "My poor Juanzi, what are we going to do?"

What to do?

If not for her concealed ill intentions, how would Gu Juan have ended up like this?

Serves her right!

"Then let Gu Lingling marry into their family," Old Mrs. Gu said, slapping her thigh, "That girl is just trouble. Besides, the Lv Family originally wanted her."

"Let her marry, let her marry," the piercing sound of Wang Meili's voice stimulated Gu Juan, and she clutched tightly at Wang Meili's arm, "Mom, didn't you say you were going to let that little slut marry the fool? Why has it become me?"

"I don't want to marry that fool. He's so scary. I don't want to, don't want to!" Just thinking about Lv Guoqing's appearance before made Gu Juan tremble all over.

"I am your own daughter. Didn't you say you'd make her life miserable once she entered the Lv Family?"

Gu Juan stared wide-eyed and unblinking at Wang Meili, "Let Gu Lingling marry. I want her to be a whore for all the world, I want her to live a life worse than death."

"Juanzi, Juanzi, don't scare your mom like this." Wang Meili was so regretful now, if she'd known it would be like this, she would've thought of other ways, "Mom won't let you marry him, my Juanzi, be good, don't be afraid."

Seeing her daughter like this, Wang Meili had no more thoughts of stopping her from saying such words.

Wang Meili truly felt heartache for Gu Juan.

Gu Lingling looked up at the beam.

A child with a mother is like a treasure indeed.

If she hadn't felt something was off last night and secretly ran to the Gu Tongzhou's house across the street, and stayed with Gu Qingqing overnight, it would've been her who was unlucky.

As for whether anyone would stand so unreservedly by her side at that time.

Gu Lingling chuckled softly; at least Wang Meili and Old Mrs. Gu were eager for Lv Guoqing to violate her purity, otherwise, they wouldn't have set up this trap.

As for whether Gu Chunhai would be like Wang Meili, that remained unknown.
