Chapter 1321: Heartless 6

Chapter 1321 Heartless 6

The car slowly stopped in front of the entrance of the villa, and eight bodyguards soon got down from the cars behind. They all marched up in a well-trained manner.

Ah Yong got down from the car too and walked over to open the car door for Gu Qiwu.

"Boss, we're here!" he said.

Gu Qiwu disembarked from the car in a rigid manner. When he looked up ahead, a luxurious holiday villa greeted his sight. Naturally, there were bodyguards on guard at the door too, especially when they saw the group stopping there.

Gu Qiwu looked at the villa through squinted eyes. After a while, he walked ahead.

...

In the backyard of the villa, Gu Lingsha was still trying to persuade Doris, but her mother looked even unhappier.

"Mother, I think we should make plans as soon as possible. Mu Yuchen has suddenly returned, and Su Chen's so proactive. You should know that those buddies have the power, especially Su Chen. The reason I was detained the last time was because of him, I..."

"Is that why you resent her and got someone to burn his woman's flower store? Did you used arson to vent your anger?" At this point, Doris could not hold back her anger. She glared coldly at Gu Lingsha. "Do you think I don't know what you've been doing my back? Shasha, I don't understand if you're really stupid or if your brain's malfunctioning. Do you think Su Chen's as dumb as you are?"

Gu Lingsha's expression paled as she fell silent for a while. "Mother, they're the bullies. Su Chen has never been nice to me, so I have to teach him a little lesson. Besides, I've handled things well, so you don't have to worry about that, Mother. It's not a bad thing for us to toss more worries in Su Chen's way."

She did not think that she was wrong. Apart from venting her anger, she could even ruffle Su Chen's feathers. This would be killing two birds with one stone.

"Do you really think Mu Yuchen wouldn't be able to guess that you're the one behind it? Mu Yuchen's sudden return was already a bad thing for us. Many things can't be put to full use. How else do you think Mu Lingshi remains unscathed? If she's doing just fine, then hmph! You'll be kicked away soon enough," Doris said as a sneer of disdain flashed on the corner of her lips.

Stunned, Gu Lingsha then said, "Mother, don't worry. Even if they can guess, they wouldn't have any evidence."

"If that's true, then you've just alerted the enemy, you fool! How did I give birth to such a useless thing, you incompetent bungler!? Shasha, you're going more and more off-track now. I don't remember you being this foolish! Shit!"

Doris watched on as Gu Lingsha anxiously tried to explain, and she felt even more disappointed. "Shasha, since when have you become someone who only knows how to go after someone and not reflect on yourself? Every failure is meant to build your foundation for the next time you strike. What have I been teaching you? We'd rather overestimate our enemies than think they're as dumb as you are!"

Gu Lingsha felt annoyed upon hearing Doris's reprimanding words. "Mother, you have your way of doing things, and I have mine. Qi Feng couldn't lay a hand on them because of Xi Xiaye, so can't I do something for myself? Besides, I guarantee that I've handled things cleanly. Even if Su Chen wants to suspect anything, he wouldn't find anything that leads back to me!"

"But they have most probably locked their targets onto me! Especially with all the recent incidents, do you think you're the only one with brains?" Doris's stern voice rang out while her blue eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked at Gu Lingsha in irritation. "A little impatience spoils great plans. You know this principle. How are you thinking of controlling Qi Feng? It's been so many years, yet you can't even lock down a man!"

"Mother!" When Doris hit her sore spot, Gu Lingsha said unhappily, "If it weren't for Xi Xiaye, Ah Feng and I would've been fine right now! If we're going to talk about scheming, I'm afraid I'm really not her rival! She's really hard to deal with right now!'

"Hmph, if your man can be influenced by another woman, then that only proves to show that you're too dumb and not charming enough. You can't even watch your man. How useless of you!" Doris said with a disdainful sneer.

Upon hearing Doris' triggering criticism, Gu Lingsha finally could not help but raise her voice to say, "If you're so capable, then Father wouldn't be like this! Mother, why do you have to say such hurtful things? I'm your daughter, not a toy for you to vent on! Can't you be less harsh to us?"

"Huh, my thing with Gu Qiwu is different from yours. At least, I can say that I had him for decades! All men are the same! If you don't take control of your authority as a woman, then you won't be able to handle any man! They're all born with the same wicked bones, just like you! If you weren't the daughter of the Gu family, do you think Qi Feng and the Qi family would've accepted you? Dream on, Shasha!"

Doris appeared incisive and shrewd when she said all that. Her eyes flickered with an exceptionally sardonic expression while that smile on the corner of her lips seemed to be mocking something.

As Doris looked at her daughter, she began to speak sincerely, "I've seen tons of these things. Shasha, trust me. Men are not to be trusted, even the ones you marry! Your father, Gu Qiwu, has been thinking about how to go against me from the moment we got married. Tell me, how can you hope for any true love in this world? You say you love Qi Feng, don't you? Let me ask you then. If I gave you a billion, ten billion, or a hundred billion to abandon him, would you be willing to?"

One billion?

Ten billion?

One hundred billion?

As Gu Lingsha listened, she did not quite react to the first amount, then she began hesitating at the second one, and towards the end of that last amount, her heart began to shift. She could not quite say it, but her heart started to feel confused.

Doris caught all of Gu Lingsha's reactions, and she smirked coldly. "See? In your sub-conscience, you're just like me. Money's more important. When it's just a trivial amount, you won't consider it, but when the amount's quite significant, you begin to hesitate. This is an inherent instinct, Shasha! You might not love Qi Feng that much. It's just like how if Qi Feng were to choose, he'd definitely choose that hundred billion and abandon you," she sneered.

Gu Lingsha's expression changed slightly while her lips parted. She was about to say something when there were sounds of footsteps from the corridor behind.

"Miss Doris, Mr. Gu is here. He's right outside! Our people couldn't stop him. He says he wants to see you!"
