Chapter 13 Speak

• Something was put into her body.
• That familiar yet strange sharp pain made Gu Qiaoge reject it instinctively. She struggled and wanted to get up.
• However, she was unable to open her eyes. Her arms and legs were subdued and she couldn't use any strength at all. In a few short moments, she sank into darkness again.
• ......
• Gu Qiaoge woke up by the sound of rain and the chilling cold on her body.
• She struggled to open her eyes and the first thing she saw was countless flashlights. And after that, countless pairs of perturbed and deriding eyes.
• At that time, she was outside the walls of the Gu family's house. She was completely wet in the rain and her clothes were ripped off. The marks Lu Beichuan left behind earlier was clear on the light.
• Gu Qiaoge sat straight up and looked around anxiously.
• That was the old house of the Gu family!
• How did she end up there?
• At that time, in the lobby not far away from the Gu family, Ling Jiawen had organized a cocktail party to establish her connections.
• There was a heavy downpour outside. Those that have not entered the party were pointing fingers at Gu Qiaoge and gossiping amongst themselves.
• "Isn't this the young lady of the Gu family, Gu Qiaoge? Didn't she disappeared for five years? Why is she back now?"
• "Why else? Divine retribution! Back then, she courted desperately after a poor man and it caused a great disturbance to the family. But after she was tired of him, she simply dumped him. I figured she has been outside since then and now that her men are tired of her, they dumped her right here!"
• "Look at the marks all over her body. It must be intense!"
• Before the leering, Gu Qiaoge's face was paper pale. She wanted to explain but she just didn't know how to start. The woman could do anything but gnashed her teeth and stood up by supporting on the wall.
• "Gu Qiaoge!"
• Behind the door of the courtyard, there was a sudden loud shriek from Ling Jiawen like that of a broken violent.
• The next second, the door was opened and Ling Jiawen hurried over in umbrella with her servants.
• When she walked towards Gu Qiaoge, she didn't say anything and gave her a slap.
• *Slap!*
• "How dare you come back here!?"
• Gu Qiaoge's face was forced to the side and she stumbled backwards. The pain on her face was burning.
• Under the spotlights, Ling Jiawen pointed her finger at Gu Qiaoge with an infuriated and disappointed expression.
• "Back then you disregarded my advice, you gave up on the man that treated you sincerely and went whoring about. In order to rebel against your parents, you left with other men and you left for five years!"
• "Your father was so angry that he had a stroke. Had I not sent him to a hospital overseas that very night, I think his life would be lost. All these years, had it not for your brother taking care of him while doing his study, and if I didn’t single-handedly support the Gu family, how can we have what we have today!?"
• "But you, after having enough fun with other men outside, you come home after being dumped? You are just a shame of this family!"
• After saying that, the crowd was in a furore. The woman approached Gu Qiaoge and grabbed her by the collar suddenly. After that, she moved closer to her ear and whispered.
• "Little whore, if you don't play by me, you should know the consequences!"
• As the rain continued to splash, the sound of murmuring was mixed inside. The spotlight was directed towards Gu Qiaoge and everyone was looking at her quietly. Waiting for her answer.
• Would she admit everything Ling Jiawen accused of her? Or did she have her side to the story?
• However, no one knew that everything that happened right that moment was being aired live to Lu Beichuan under a camera.
• At that time, the man was sitting in his office in the top floor of the finance building. He was facing his monitor and his eyes were staring intently on the screen. he was waiting for Gu Qiaoge to speak.
• "Gu Qiaoge, speak!" Ling Jiawen reminded her in irritation.
