Chapter 1556: Sowing Discord

Gu Meng only let go when Mrs Gu felt that her fingers were about to be crushed by Gu Meng.

Mrs Gu’s eyes were red and her face was distorted. She wanted to tear Gu Meng into pieces.

When the pain in her fingers eased a little, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Meng angrily.

A burning pain spread from Gu Meng’s skin to her organs.

She thought that she had gotten used to being treated unfairly by Mrs Gu since she was young. She was numb and did not care anymore.

However, at this moment, she did not care about the truth and blamed her, poked her, and hit her just to protect Gu Jiao. It still hurt her heart.

They were both her daughters, so why did she dislike her so much?

“You deserve it. You reap what you sow!” Gu Jiao muttered gloatingly.

Gu Meng caressed her swollen face and looked at Mrs Gu with red eyes. Without saying anything, she walked in front of Gu Jiao, raised her hand and slapped her twice.

Gu Jiao fell to the ground, stunned.

Mrs Gu was the first to react. Her heart ached when she saw Gu Jiao, whose face was red and swollen, with blood dripping from the corner of her lips. She then looked at Gu Meng, who had hit her. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, wanting to slap Gu Meng.

But before she could touch Gu Meng, her arm was grabbed by Gu Che!

“Isn’t that enough?” Gu Che pushed Mrs Gu away, his eyes red with anger. “Dad is still in the emergency room and you and Gu Jiao are bullying Sister like this! Are you two still human?”

Mrs Gu looked at Gu Che, who had only been close to Gu Meng since they were young. She was even angrier. “Xiao Che, did you become like this because you’ve interacted with Gu Meng too much? It’s only right for me to educate my children. Besides, didn’t you see her slap your sister twice?”

Before Gu Che could say anything, he heard Gu Meng say coldly, “If you hit me again in the future, I will return it to your beloved daughter.”

Mrs Gu widened her eyes, her body trembling. “You dare?”

Gu Meng laughed coldly. “You can try me if you don’t believe me!”

The atmosphere became tense.

Gu Jiao covered her red and swollen face and got up from the ground, wanting to fight Gu Meng. However, when she saw Gu Meng’s clenched fists, she became timid again.

If she really fought Gu Meng alone, she would not be her opponent!

Seeing that Gu Meng still dared to threaten her, Mrs Gu felt that she had lost all of her dignity and wanted to teach her a lesson. Gu Che saw the ruthlessness in her eyes and stood in front of her, not letting her approach Gu Meng. “Mom, Dad is in the emergency room now. As the man in the family, I’ll be in charge of the family matters in the future. You and Gu Jiao can stop bullying Sister. If not, I won’t acknowledge you as my mother anymore!”

Mrs Gu widened her eyes, not daring to believe that Gu Che had said those words.

But Gu Che’s expression was serious and did not look like he was saying it casually.

Mrs Gu usually doted on Gu Jiao, but she actually doted on Gu Che more. However, this child had only been close to Gu Meng since they were young.

Gu Jiao was originally waiting for Mrs Gu to teach Gu Meng a lesson for her, but Mrs Gu was settled by Gu Che’s words and she was so angry she almost vomited blood.

…

Two hours later.

The door to the emergency room was opened.

The doctor came out. “The patient has been rescued, but because he was not sent here immediately, half of the patient’s body cannot move freely, and there will be some problems with his speech. The family has to accompany the patient for more rehabilitation therapy.”

Gu Meng and Gu Che nodded hurriedly. “We will.”

Mr Gu was sent to the VIP ward.

When Mrs Gu found out that Mr Gu’s life was no longer in danger, her tensed nerves relaxed and she blacked out.

The doctor did a checkup on Mrs Gu. Her fainting was caused by hypoglycemia and excessive nervousness.

Mrs Gu was sent to another ward.

Only Gu Meng and Gu Che were left in Mr Gu’s ward.

Although Mr Gu would not be able to return to a normal life in the future, he was still alive. The heaviness hanging in Gu Meng’s heart was lifted and she looked at Gu Che. “Dad’s body has always been healthy. Why did he suddenly get a stroke?”

Gu Che was unpacking the luggage he had brought over. “During the two years you were gone, Dad’s blood sugar was high and he had to take medicine every day. His health wasn’t too good.”

Gu Meng watched as Gu Che took out a bottle of medicine from his luggage. “He has to take three or four pills like this every day.”

Gu Meng took the medicine. The packaging of the bottle indeed said that it had the effect of lowering blood pressure and sugar.

The attending doctor who was operating on Mr Gu walked in. “What is Miss Gu looking at?”

Gu Meng stood up from the chair. “Doctor Fu, can you help me take a look at this medicine? Is it effective for people with high blood sugar?”

The doctor took the medicine Gu Meng handed over and poured out a pill to take a closer look.

A moment later, the doctor furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you sure this is the medicine to lower blood sugar?”

Gu Meng’s pupils constricted. “Isn’t it?”

“This medicine doesn’t have much effect on lowering sugar, but if you take too much, it will make you sleepy and unable to lift your spirits.”

When Gu Meng and Gu Che heard this, their eyes widened.

Gu Meng could vaguely feel that someone else might have replaced Mr Gu’s glucose-lowering medicine! And it had to do with her!

Gu Meng walked out with a pale face.

Gu Che saw that Gu Meng’s mood was not right and wanted to follow her, but Gu Meng raised her hand. “I want to be alone.”

…

Gu Meng went into the washroom and stood in front of the sink, splashing cold water on her face.

Did her father’s change of medicine have something to do with the President’s wife?

Why?

With her status and identity, why did she go through so much trouble to deal with her and her family?

Gu Meng combed her hands through her hair, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Click, click, click. The crisp sound of high heels clicking against the floor rang.

Gu Jiao walked in. Her face was still slightly red and swollen after applying ice.

Seeing Gu Meng standing in front of the sink, Gu Jiao walked over with gritted teeth.

“Don’t think that you can really marry into the Royal family just because you gave birth to a child for the Third Prince? You’re just a fishing village girl. You’re not worthy of him!”

Gu Meng did not seem to hear Gu Jiao’s words and did not respond.

Gu Jiao glared at Gu Meng angrily. She did not expect that two years had made Gu Meng even more charming and elegant.

As for her, she had been in jail for two years. Her mind, body, and soul had been tortured. It made her look a few years older than the fair-skinned and sweet-looking Gu Meng.

Gu Jiao was jealous and unhappy, her eyes reflecting a cold glint. “You probably don’t know one thing. After you went missing, the Third Prince went to the fishing village and drank a lot that night. He slept in Ah Dai’s house and treated me like you. He kissed me, touched me, and even slept with me. Although he kept calling your name on me, I wasn’t angry at all. Instead, I felt honored because I slept with the high and mighty Third Prince!”
