Even though Mrs. Sheng wanted to compensate Sheng Yueliang, she didn’t treat Gu Jiaojiao poorly.

Every time meat and candies were distributed, Gu Jiaojiao received the same amount as her sons, with no deliberate withholding.

Although the original Gu Jiaojiao had been pampered, she knew she wasn’t a member of the Sheng family, so she accepted it, though she often felt sad inside.

But how could a seventeen-year-old girl, spoiled and delicate, withstand the repeated provocations of Sheng Yueliang, who had returned from the future?

So, she would throw her chopsticks in front of the Sheng family, only to be harshly scolded by her second and third brothers.

Then, Gu Jiaojiao would cry and scream, saying she wasn’t a Sheng and that no one loved her anymore.

Mrs. Sheng thought Gu Jiaojiao was unreasonable, an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

She had poured her heart out for her, giving her eighteen years of a comfortable life, yet Gu Jiaojiao still complained and made a scene.

Mrs. Sheng regretted ever being kind to Gu Jiaojiao and wished she could make her spit out all the meat and candies she had eaten.

From the perspective of every member of the Sheng family, Gu Jiaojiao was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

But the original Gu Jiaojiao felt deeply wronged and stifled in the Sheng family, longing to marry Song Zijin as soon as possible…

The modern Gu Jiaojiao, looking back at these memories as an outsider, realized that neither the Sheng family nor the original Gu Jiaojiao were at fault. It was all a misunderstanding.

But the misunderstanding had led to irreparable consequences. By now, the original Gu Jiaojiao was no longer alive.

In the book, after the real heiress returned, the original Gu Jiaojiao lived a stifled life and died a tragic death!

Since Gu Jiaojiao had transmigrated into the book, the plot had slightly deviated. Although the original Gu Jiaojiao was dead, she hadn’t experienced the full extent of despair and pain.

That’s why the original Gu Jiaojiao had appeared in a dream to forgive the Sheng family so easily.

Since the original Gu Jiaojiao had chosen to forgive, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t plan to pursue the matter further. Besides, based on her memories, apart from Sheng Yueliang, the rest of the Sheng family wasn’t hateful. In fact, Mrs. Sheng was somewhat pitiable.

She hadn’t planned to have much interaction with the Sheng family, but since Sheng Shiwu had come to her, she decided to look out for him a bit.

Gu Jiaojiao had thought all this in just a few seconds when she heard someone calling from outside.

“Brother Shuoci～Brother Shuoci～”

The persistent calls made Sheng Shiwu go to open the door. “Dong Yuanyuan, what are you doing here?”

“Xiao Wu, why are you at brother Shuoci’s house?” Dong Yuanyuan asked in surprise.

“Is it strange for me to be at my sister’s house? What about you? What’s a young woman like you doing at someone else’s house at night?”

Sheng Shiwu retorted matter-of-factly.

“Hmph～I can’t be bothered with you. Uncle Su, Auntie Su, brother Shuoci～have you eaten yet?”

“We just finished eating,” Mr. Su replied dryly. This girl had once helped his son find a doctor.

“Brother Shuoci～I just got back from a performance and heard you’re already married. Did you marry in a fit of anger because you were still mad at me?”

Dong Yuanyuan’s voice was full of grievance and blame, as if Su Shuoci were some heartless scoundrel.

“Why would I marry out of anger toward you? Do we even know each other?”

Su Shuoci had been sitting in his wheelchair next to Gu Jiaojiao, while Gu Jiaojiao stood by Eldest Brother Gu’s recliner, having just put away her acupuncture needles.

Gu Jiaojiao glanced at Dong Yuanyuan, who was wearing a military-style top with a matching short skirt.

In this era, the wealth gap wasn’t significant, especially since the military was highly respected. Anyone wearing military green would instantly become the most stylish person on the street.

Moreover, Dong Yuanyuan had a oval face, fair skin, and long legs. Paired with her shocked expression, she looked stunning.

Dong Yuanyuan was also stunned. She hadn’t paid much attention to Gu Jiaojiao before, but now she realized there was such an ethereally beautiful woman in the world.

She was indeed beautiful, but compared to her brother Shuoci, she seemed just a tiny bit unworthy.

Dong Yuanyuan thought Su Shuoci was getting handsomer by the day. Even if he were disabled, he was still worth marrying.

Gu Jiaojiao saw the beauty infatuatedly staring at her husband, even unconsciously trying to move closer to him.

This was unacceptable!

She deliberately stuck out her foot, causing Dong Yuanyuan to stumble and nearly fall.

“Who are you? How could you treat me like this?!” Dong Yuanyuan cried.

“How did I treat you badly? Is there a need to be so grieved?” Gu Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow at the beauty.

“I misunderstood you. Forget it, just move aside.” Dong Yuanyuan was eager to get closer to Su Shuoci.

Her understanding and forgiving nature left Gu Jiaojiao speechless. If it were someone else, they might not have done it on purpose.

But Gu Jiaojiao was different. She had timed her move perfectly.

“Brother Shuoci～how could you say such things to Yuanyuan?”

Since Gu Jiaojiao was blocking Su Shuoci, Dong Yuanyuan had to shout past her.

“Did Gu Jiaojiao use some underhanded method to force you to marry her? Does she have no shame?”

Seeing that Su Shuoci remained silent, Dong Yuanyuan assumed he was tacitly agreeing.

“Whether I have shame or not is beside the point. You’re the one without shame. Su Shuoci doesn’t even remember your name, yet you keep calling him brother Shuoci.”

“You’re Gu Jiaojiao? You’re utterly unreasonable. What right does a sickly fake heiress have to marry brother Shuoci?”

“Because I’m beautiful, and because Su Shuoci likes me. That’s why I married him.”

Gu Jiaojiao had just heard Su Shuoci’s confession that afternoon, so she spoke with full confidence.

“You…how can you be so shameless? Brother Shuoci and I are from the same unit. We’ve always had a good relationship.

Because I had to go perform out of town, brother Shuoci married you out of spite. I’m warning you, go get a divorce.”

When Dong Yuanyuan spoke to Gu Jiaojiao, it was as if she were chewing on thorns, her words gnashing her teeth.

She had always been bold and outspoken, saying whatever she wanted without considering the consequences.

Gu Jiaojiao, having seen much of the world, had encountered many green tea types, but someone as brazen and direct as Dong Yuanyuan was rare.

She wasn’t afraid of Dong Yuanyuan and fired back with venom: “I reckon you ran off when Su Shuoci became disabled, didn’t you?

You went out looking for someone better, but couldn’t find anyone more handsome, huh? Now that Su Shuoci has married a beauty like me, you’re feeling unbalanced and want to marry him again?

You think he’s like a bone—tasty when it’s in your mouth, but just a piece of meat when you spit it out. It’s tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

You didn’t want him before, but now that he’s married, you think he’s a hot commodity again?

And you’re telling me to get a divorce? Where do you get the nerve? Who gave you the courage?

Let me tell you, my husband Su Shuoci is meant to be an eagle soaring in the sky, not a little bird bullied by a sparrow.

You, get as far away as possible, and stop coveting him, got it? Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”

Gu Jiaojiao’s overbearing aura was palpable, her words sweet yet cutting.

Su Shuoci trembled with excitement, his heart pounding as if it might leap out of his chest.

He tightly held his wife’s hand and glared at Dong Yuanyuan with fury: “Did you hear that? My wife told you to get lost.”

“Shuoci…”

Su Shuoci roared, cutting off Dong Yuanyuan’s words: “Sheng Shiwu, Gu Jingtai, throw her out.”
