"Madwoman! You are an absolute madwoman!" Gu Hengyuan was unable to contain his fury, his raised hand trembling, his index finger pointing directly at his daughter, Gu En, who now appeared completely transformed, terrifying, almost making Gu Hengyuan, a grown man, feel alienation and fear.

"That’s right, I am a madwoman!" Facing the anger of everyone around, Gu En didn’t show a trace of anger herself. She laughed, a wild and frenzied laugh, as if devoid of sanity, "Lin Chan is right, I am a demon! I could kill a cat at the age of ten, what in this world could I, Gu En, not do!"

"So you finally admit to killing a cat when you were ten?" Lin Chan spat out, "At ten years old, you were already ruthless and callous. Now, you’ve long lost the right to be called human!"

The words of Gu En left the people of the Gu Family and the Lan Family pale-faced; to both families, this was like some cruel joke.

The girl they raised for over a decade was now speaking to them like this, treating them as enemies and tormenting them as such.

"The things I’ve done, Gu En, are far too many!

From the very first sight of He Zhilan, I profoundly despised her!

Lin Deng praised her, Brother Lan Li asked me to look after her, why does everyone have to be kind to her, a country girl with no background?

" Gu En’s smirk on the corner of her lips turned increasingly vicious, "Liu Jiang’s pursuit of her was stirred up by me.

It was with malice in my heart that I took He Zhilan out to drink, wishing for her not to see another day, wanting her to be toyed with by men, yet, ironically, her luck was good, and Ding Jinshi, that wretched woman, interfered!

In the dormitory, even the photo of He Zhilan was taken by me, I loathed the thought of He Zhilan living a good life, wishing that she had died without a burial place when she was six years old! "

At this point, Gu En suddenly burst into tears, "You, the Gu Family, keep saying that you treat me well, isn’t that all predicated on my constant giving?

If I hadn’t schemed my way into the Gu Family, would any of you have given a second glance to me begging on the street?

Because I was a beggar, I wasn’t good enough, hence, upon entering the Gu Family, I was always careful.

I forced myself to be obedient, to win over everyone’s heart! "

"Grandfather liked military songs, so I strived to learn singing, to play the piano. Grandfather had good calligraphy, so I diligently learned calligraphy, even if my fingers swelled and hurt, I didn’t dare rest a minute more than necessary.

I feared any slip-up would get me thrown out!

I made sure to do everything you liked, to carefully win the favor of each and every one of you.

I put in so much effort, striving to gain your approval, but what about you?

It was as if you never saw me, still searching for Gu Zhilan!

Have you ever considered my feelings? My efforts? "

"Ridiculous!" Grandma Gu gasped for air, nearly unable to catch her breath, "Did the Gu Family force you to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? You said you wanted to learn them, thinking you were interested, we painstakingly found good teachers for you. And now, you turn around and say it was all for us? Gu Zhilan is our child, it’s only natural for us to look for her. Why should we consider your feelings?"

"Xiao’en, after the Gu Family adopted you, did they ever abuse you?

Made you go hungry or cold? Hit you? How can you talk about the Gu Family like that?

Gu En, where is your conscience? Has it been blinded by years of good living?

If not for the Gu Family adopting you, you, Gu En, would have just been a beggar!

Unable to fill your stomach, without warmth, enduring bullying and scorn in the streets while begging in the rain, and perhaps, as you grew up, you might have been sold off by some gang to some corner of the countryside as a bride purchased by rural people.

The Gu Family raised you, yet you don’t appreciate their kindness, how dare you repay kindness with ingratitude? "
