Chapter 5: He Actually Dares to Hit His Own Mother?

"Gu Zhiqi! You little slut! I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Zhiqi dodged Zhang Xiuli's grasping hands and gave her a kick for good measure.

The kick sent Zhang Xiuli landing straight on her buttocks on the floor.

She intended to get up, but the pain was too intense, making it impossible to rise immediately. She simply gave up, sitting on the floor, crying and cursing simultaneously.

"You jinx! You even dare to hit your own mother; no wonder the Gu family didn't want you."

"You wretch, don't even think about following me into the Yu family."

"I shouldn't have kept you back then; I should have just strangled you to death."

...

Every foul word imaginable was spat out.

Sitting on the floor without any sense of decorum, her image as a socialite was completely gone, replaced by a shrewish woman sitting on the ground, continuing her tirade.

Gu Zhiqi ignored her entirely, treating her like thin air.

Tang Yun, standing nearby, was stunned. She knew Zhang Xiuli was heartless, but she hadn't expected that a mother and daughter could be more incompatible than sworn enemies.

She stood there, staring blankly at the farce unfolding before her.

She had never met Gu Zhiqi before; this was their first encounter.

Aside from the rumors, her only impression of Gu Zhiqi was her beautiful face.

She had long heard that Gu Zhiqi had a nasty temperament, but now...

She actually dared to hit her own mother?

Tang Yun instinctively took several steps back.

...

The cursing from Zhang Xiuli's mouth never ceased, firing off like a machine gun.

The volume grew louder and louder until it finally drew a nurse. "Patient in 107, please be quiet. You're disturbing the other patients."

Interrupted, Zhang Xiuli turned around and glared at the nurse with a face full of indignation.

"Do you know who I am? I am the wife of the Yu family in Yancheng! How dare you speak to me like that!"

Hearing this, the nurse pursed her lips and spoke unpleasantly, "I don't care who you are. If you keep making noise, I'll call security."

With that, she shot Zhang Xiuli a glare and quickly walked away.

"Pah! Who do you think you are, daring to tell me..." Before she could finish her curse, an empty paper cup struck her, cutting her off.

Zhang Xiuli turned her head, looking at Gu Zhiqi—who had thrown the cup—with a face full of rage.

"You little slut, you dare throw things at me! It's no wonder people rape you, why don't you—"

"Speak clearly and look at the camera while you curse," Gu Zhiqi said, lifting her eyelids and holding her phone directly toward Zhang Xiuli.

"You... what are you doing?!" Zhang Xiuli's voice rose.

"Let the netizens see the upbringing of the Yu family's matriarch. Come on, don't stop, keep cursing."

The Yu family of Yancheng?

Marrying a thing like this?

They must have been blinded by filth.

Hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Zhang Xiuli's pupils shrank. "You... stop filming!"

If this were recorded, it would be a disaster.

Ever since she married into the Yu family, many people in Yancheng's high society had mocked her. Her mother-in-law had always looked down on her as well; if they saw her in this state, they would surely use it against her.

Zhang Xiuli gritted her teeth, propping herself up with one hand. She rose unsteadily, dragging her dislocated arm as she lunged toward Gu Zhiqi. "Give me that phone!"

"If you aren't afraid of having your other arm dislocated, go ahead." While holding the phone, Gu Zhiqi leaned lazily against the headboard. Her gaze fell on Zhang Xiuli's arm as she spoke in a calm, unhurried manner.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiuli froze in her tracks and instinctively took several steps back.

"Gu Zhiqi, how can you be so vicious? I am your mother!"

"You ungrateful wolf! As expected, someone not raised by—"

"If you don't want this video appearing online, get out immediately." A hint of impatience colored Gu Zhiqi's brow as she directly cut Zhang Xiuli off.
