“Why should we give it to her…?”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly sensed that Liu Zhihe’s aura was getting colder and colder. Seeing this, Jiang Mei quickly swallowed the rest of her words.
Looking at her man, Liu Zhihe and his angry gaze, she could only grit her teeth and agree to the request.
However, when she thought about how this was a thousand yuan and not a hundred yuan, Jiang Mei felt lightheaded, almost as if she was going to faint in the next second. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Jiang Mei clenched her hands so tightly that her palms turned pale, leaving rows upon rows of deep red marks. She turned around, glaring fiercely at Gu An’an with a gaze that resembled a vengeful ghost.
It was this brat who made her lose a thousand yuan.
Especially when she saw Gu An’an blinking at her and smiling provocatively. Jiang Mei was filled with hatred!
At the same time, she also blamed Liu Mei’e and Gu Nana. If it weren’t for Gu Nana’s lack of self-restraint, her son wouldn’t have done such a thing. She also blamed Liu Mei’e for not hitting Gu An’an hard enough to kill her when she had the chance.
If this wretched brat wasn’t around, she wouldn’t have to pay the thousand yuan at all.
Therefore, it was all Liu Mei’e and her daughter’s fault.
It had to be said that people with questionable values would never be able to see their own problems. They would only find things to blame or complain about others, but they would never think about reflecting upon themselves.
In the end, Jiang Mei walked out of the Gu family’s courtyard filled with hatred and anger. Then, she went home to get the money.
At this moment, in the Gu residence’s courtyard.
As soon as Jiang Mei left the Gu residence, Gu An’an had already raised her eyes to look at Liu Mei’e and Gu Nana. Her eyes carried a mocking glint as she stared at the mother and daughter, making them feel a shiver down their spines.
With their temples throbbing, they had a bad feeling about the situation. They were certain that this cunning little brat had more tricks up her sleeve.
As expected—
In the next instant, they saw a chilling coldness in the eyes of Gu An’an as she directed her words at Liu Mei’e. “Aunt Liu, as for the dowry that my mother left for me, make sure to move everything to my room.”
“Furthermore, Gu Nana, despite knowing about the engagement between Liu Zhengping and me, shamelessly tried to seduce him. Adding to that the blow you dealt me, it’s not much, just compensate me with 200 yuan. After all, I am kind-hearted and can’t bring myself to be too ruthless.”
“Lastly, it’s pertaining to the fact that the three of you have been beating and scolding me behind closed doors over the past few years. It has caused me serious psychological damage. I have no faith in familial ties anymore. Therefore, you have to pay me 500 yuan to help get over this trauma!”
Then, she did not give Liu Mei’e, Gu Nana and Gu Jianguo a chance to fly into a rage. She immediately said, “By the way, I don’t accept any arrears or hypocritical words like you and my father keeping the money for me. You have to give it to me now without a single cent less.”
“Otherwise, I’ll immediately drag Gu Nana to the neighborhood office and the hospital.”
“How dare you! You little bast*rd, how dare you lay your hands on the family’s money! I’ll beat you to death!”
Hearing the brat’s shameless words, Gu Jianguo was infuriated. He raised his hand with a fierce expression and was going to give Gu An’an a slap.
“Gu Jianguo, are you still a f*cking man?”
The factory director and his wife were still standing there. The director’s face darkened when he saw Gu Jianguo trying to hit the girl in a fit of anger. With one grab of Gu Jianguo’s arm, he spun the man around twice on the spot.
The difference in height between the two of them was a little big. Mr. Yang hold on Gu Jianguo was effortless, like a cat catching a mouse. With a little strength, he spun Gu Jianguo around until he was dizzy and seeing stars.
Wu Chunhua immediately pointed at the dazed-looking Gu Jianguo and scolded him sternly, “Gu Jianguo, are you disregarding our words now? I dare you and Liu Mei’e to refuse paying up.”
“Either pay up or hand over your jobs now. Also, all the salary that Liu Mei’e has received over the years must be given to An’an. That was An’an’s mother’s job. Liu Mei’e doesn’t have the right to take over her position!”
“Auntie, Uncle Yang, since my father and Auntie Liu don’t want to pay, there’s no need to discuss further. Just escort Gu Nana to the office.” As soon as Gu An’an finished speaking, she walked straight towards Gu Nana.
She was not going to let this vicious mother and daughter and her scumbag father off the hook. If she wanted Liu Mei’e to bleed money from her pockets, she had to take some concrete actions.
“What… What are you doing? Don’t come over. Get away from me. Don’t touch me.” Gu Nana was so frightened that her face turned as pale as a sheet. She kept retreating and waving her hands.
While she was trying to stop Gu An’an from getting near her, she shouted at Liu Mei’e and the others in panic, “Mother! Father! Brother Zhengping, save me quickly. I don’t want to go to the neighborhood office. If I go there, I’m really finished!”
“Ah ah ah! Let go of me, Gu An’an, you money-seeking brat! Quickly let go of me. I won’t go to the neighborhood office, I won’t go!”
Feeling a sudden grip on her arm, Gu Nana was so frightened that she started cursing loudly. She struggled to break free from Gu An’an’s grip, but she realized that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free from her iron grip.
Seeing this, Gu Nana’s pale face turned even paler. She immediately screamed, “Mother!”
“Stop it!”
When Liu Mei’e heard her daughter’s scream, she instantly woke up from her daze. When she entered the room, she saw Gu An’an dragging her daughter out of the courtyard. She immediately said out of fright, “I’ll give it to you. An’an, I’ll give you all the money and the dowry you want.”
With that, she quickly turned around and ran into the house.
With lightning speed, as if her feet were coated in oil, she swiftly rushed into the house. Within moments, she emerged holding a stack of money in her hands.
Her speed and efficiency was astonishing.
Liu Mei’e placed the money in Gu An’an’s hands reluctantly. “Count it. Here’s 500 yuan. Not a single cent is missing. As for the dowry, I’ve already sorted it out. I’ll move it to your room later.”
She was wearing a smile that looked worse than if she were crying. Her heart was already bleeding profusely when she handed the money to Gu An’an.
Moreover, thinking about how she had just been slapped by Gu An’an in the morning and how her face was still red and swollen, Liu Mei’e almost burst into tears.
She felt as if her entire heart had been dug out. The pain was excruciating.
“There’s no need to count, since Liu Auntie seems so eager to hand over the money. After all, this concerns your daughter’s future, doesn’t it?” Although her voice was clear and pleasant, it sent shivers down Liu Meie’s and Gu Nana’s spines.
