Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 427: 427: Fainted due to lack of air

”Cats are animals with a sense of premonition. Before they die, to prevent their family from feeling sad, they often leave their living area to find a place with no people to face their fate alone...”

”Before something happens to them, they usually act very strangely, annoying their family, which reduces their pain. This is a pattern recognized in the animal kingdom. Those with a heart can perceive it, those without, how could they possibly notice...”

Gu Tong held down the utterly dumbfounded Lin Shuai, who was compared to a feline, pressing down on his shoulder so his expression couldn’t be seen, and then stroked his hair, continuing to say—

”Miss Lin, the first time we met was here. You were adorned with gold and silver, living in luxury, having fun with your friends to your heart’s content. When you turned around, you noticed Lin Shuai, and the first thing you did was attack him personally!”

”You accused him, berated him! Treated him unreasonably! Did you ever consider that he is also your family and needs care too! Felines have emotions, but how can people be so heartless and unjust!”

Lin Xueqi was so angry she almost passed out. She looked at Gu Tong, whose eyes were glistening with tears, but wished she could tear her apart...

Yet, she knew she couldn’t do that now...

The surroundings were filled with voices of criticism and gossip. Her original good image was completely destroyed by Gu Tong! And utterly vanished...

This situation was extremely unfavorable for Lin Xueqi. She was clearly aware in her heart that this couldn’t continue.

After thinking it over...

Her body toppled, her eyelids flipped, and she lay down backward.

”Xueqi...”

Lin Xueqi’s friends rushed forward, quickly catching her as she fainted from anger, looking at each other helplessly.

After all, this situation happened suddenly... They also had no experience in dealing with it...

”That’s enough! Xueqi fainted from anger because of you...” One of Lin Xueqi’s friends, willing to stand up for her, angrily confronted Gu Tong.

With Lin Xueqi down, Gu Tong had no interest in continuing the fight.

Gu Tong raised her hand, wiped the corner of her eye, still in the motion of wiping tears, and said, ”She’s Lin Shuai’s sister... If I hadn’t been unable to control myself, I wouldn’t have acted this way... I’m sorry... I meant no harm...”

Upon saying this, the expressions on Lin Xueqi’s friends’ faces softened significantly.

Showing weakness often wins favor, and this statement had no flaws.

However...

Gu Tong was not the kind who would easily show weakness. Standing in the position of a weak person usually leads to one outcome!

”I didn’t expect... Miss Lin’s health to be so poor... I barely said a few words, and she fainted from anger... Illness, most of the time, is hereditary... Could she also have a condition...”

Gu Tong spoke in a low voice, as if whispering in Lin Shuai’s ear. However, her mastery of volume was perfect enough for everyone to hear.

Almost instantly, they all understood Gu Tong’s implication, internally agreeing she had a point!

Diseases that are usually congenital or hereditary mean that, if Young Master Lin has such a condition, perhaps Miss Lin does too...

With just a few words, Gu Tong had thoroughly ruined Miss Lin’s reputation.

Even if someone wanted to marry her in the future, they would probably have second thoughts.

Lin Xueqi pretended to be unconscious, lying on the ground, unable to get up. If it weren’t for this, she’d want to get up and fight Gu Tong right away...

Her reputation! Completely destroyed by her...
