Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Slow Knife Cuts Flesh

”Mom, why did you come here?” Wang Meili wasn’t flustered at all; she tucked the stray hair behind her ear, and under the bright moonlight, Old Mrs. Gu looked at Wang Meili with suspicion.

”I thought there were burglars here.” Old Mrs. Gu said.

”Wasn’t it just a few days ago that Juanzi thought there was something unclean here? I thought maybe someone was trying to disgust us, so I came quietly to check.” Wang Meili laughed as she stepped forward to take Old Mrs. Gu’s arm, ”I didn’t expect us to think alike.”

Is that so?

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Wang Meili with suspicion, always feeling that she seemed a bit different today.

”Did you see anything?” Old Mrs. Gu asked.

”I just got here,” Wang Meili said, ”How about you, Mom?”

”I didn’t see anything either, but we haven’t checked the backyard yet, let’s go take a look.” Old Mrs. Gu carefully examined the house, ensuring it was impossible for someone to hide inside, then turned her gaze to the backyard.

Wang Meili’s heart skipped a beat, but she said nothing, ”Okay, Mom, be careful, we’ll go to the backyard and take a look; it’s dark, be mindful of your steps.”

”Keep your voice down.” Old Mrs. Gu said.

If someone heard such loud voices, they might actually think it was haunted.

Wang Meili quickly scanned the area after opening the back door and finally relaxed; that person must have already left.

”Who’s there?” Old Mrs. Gu suddenly shouted.

Wang Meili’s heart jumped again.

Without a word, Old Mrs. Gu shook off Wang Meili’s hand and rushed forward, grabbing the figure, ”Let’s see where you run off to!”

Wang Meili was startled and ran over too.

”Whose clothes are thrown here?” She thought there was someone there.

But looking at these clothes, they should belong to a man. Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Wang Meili with suspicion.

”Huh? Why are there men’s clothes here?” Wang Meili naturally recognized the clothes were worn by the person tonight.

”Mom, we should be more alert in the future; nobody lives next door, and I’m still quite scared. Juanzi is alone at home doing her confinement month. Oh, Juanzi!”

As she said this, Wang Meili slapped her thigh and hurriedly ran toward the house.

Old Mrs. Gu, snapped back by her actions, also hurriedly ran home.

What if this man, driven to desperation, ran into their backyard!

If he had eyes on Juanzi...

Old Mrs. Gu felt a bit regretful, she shouldn’t have listened to others and come here to catch ~~ a cheater, if the person wasn’t caught, what if her granddaughter was harmed?

Seeing Old Mrs. Gu leaving in a fluster and hurry, Gu Lingling pursed her lips; this grandma is too easily deceived by Wang Meili.

But it’s no wonder, wholeheartedly trusting someone for so many years, she probably doesn’t even want to step out of the world Wang Meili has created for her.

”This is just the beginning; as long as Wang Meili keeps getting involved with those people, she’ll be caught sooner or later.” Isn’t it quite interesting this way?

He wants Wang Meili to live in the fear of being discovered, wants Old Mrs. Gu to be suspicious every day!

Can a family like this still be as stable as before?

When Old Mrs. Gu’s suspicion reaches a certain level, the trust between the two will become empty talk.

And when Wang Meili is caught cheating, that’s when it gets interesting.

Yes, Wang Meili is vicious, but if it weren’t for Old Mrs. Gu’s blind protection, could she have been so fearless, using every possible means against Gu Lingling?

Yang Yunhai enjoys this slow, torturous approach because only this kind of pain will make Old Mrs. Gu remember.
