Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Doubt

What you can’t have is always restless, and the favored ones have nothing to fear.

The more she couldn’t have it, the more persistent Wang Meili became, and over time, her resentment towards Yao Ruanqian grew stronger.

She couldn’t even compare to a dead person.

Fine, she couldn’t do anything to a dead person, but that dead person had two children, and she wanted to torment them, so Yao Ruanqian wouldn’t rest in peace even in death.

It’s fair to say that before Gu Lingling’s transformation, Wang Meili was successful.

But unexpectedly, she didn’t know who was advising Gu Lingling, since this pesky girl changed completely after she got sick that time.

Not only did Gu Chunhai become suspicious of her, but now she had to deal with Gu Juan.

A mother’s heart hurts when her child is hurt.

Seeing her daughter’s face swell up rapidly, Wang Meili felt her heart twist in anguish.

That little wretch, Gu Lingling, once Gu Chunhai left, she would definitely teach her a lesson.

Little slut, shameless just like her mother.

Just wait and see how I’ll deal with her later!

”Chunhai, I didn’t raise the child well.” Wang Meili covered her aching heart, ”Juanzi, if you want to blame someone, blame me, your mother, who is penniless and useless.”

Gu Lingling always knew Wang Meili was hard to deal with.

Seeing her silently shedding tears, even the Old Mrs. Gu, who was still bawling on the ground, was frightened by her demeanor.

Ah... she was too impatient.

Gu Lingling shook her head in her heart, but even if given another chance, she would still do the same.

She didn’t want to live so suppressively like in her previous life.

”Forget it, Dad, I don’t want this dress anymore, let Gu Juan have it.” Gu Lingling said with her mouth pursed and head down, ”I’ll go back to my room first.”

That damn girl!

Caused so much trouble, and now she acts like she’s being generous?

Wang Meili was furious, but she had no choice but to switch to a loving smile, ”Lingling, don’t worry, I’ll have Juanzi send the dress to you later.”

After saying this, she gave Gu Juan a fierce glare.

Gu Juan shrank towards Old Mrs. Gu in fear.

Gu Lingling ignored Wang Meili’s words and went back to her room with her head down.

”Look at her attitude! Meili spoke to her like that, and she doesn’t show any manners.” Old Mrs. Gu soothed Gu Juan by patting her back, ”Isn’t it just a ragged dress? We’ll have your mom go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some fabric, and Grandma will make you some nice clothes.”

Gu Juan pursed her lips, keeping her head down, too scared to speak.

If Old Mrs. Gu and Wang Meili had the skills of Gu Lingling’s grandmother, she wouldn’t always be envious of Gu Lingling’s new clothes.

That little wretch, did she take the wrong medicine today?

Tonight, once everyone is asleep, she definitely intends to give that pesky girl a lesson.

Wang Meili knew what her daughter had in mind and was infuriated, ”You... you come with me.”

”Don’t hit her again.” Old Mrs. Gu gave Wang Meili a reproachful look, ”You scared her today.”

”Go on, if your mom hits you again, just scream, Grandma will save you.” Old Mrs. Gu comforted.

Throughout the whole process, Gu Chunhai hadn’t said a word.

Previously, he could deceive himself into believing that it was Gu Lingling’s personality that was the problem, that she wasn’t as sweet-talking as Gu Juan, not as likable, and even he preferred Gu Juan over Gu Lingling.

But what had he seen these days?

The virtuous sister-in-law or rather now his wife, her so-called virtue and magnanimity were all an act.

Obedient, sensible, and likable niece, Gu Juan, was actually spoiled, willful, and vain.

The daughter, who was originally awkward and gloomy, was the truly sensible and obedient one.

Gu Chunhai was in chaos.

At the same time, a thought vaguely formed in his mind, but it was quickly suppressed.
