Chapter 764: Chapter 764: So None of the Three of Us Will Survive
But this is your relationship with her.
And for me and her, we are irreconcilable enemies.â
Gu Jiansheng bit his lip, his face flushed with shame, but still, he clenched his teeth and persisted.
Because he knew about the unspoken agreement his mother had with Gu Qingfeng.
However, when he saw his grandmother hanging on to life by a thread,
he really couldnât bear to watch it anymore.
He even thought about plunging a knife into his grandmotherâs chest.
In the end, he put it down.
He couldnât bring himself to kill his grandmother.
Even though doing so would have been a release for her.
And he also didnât know what exactly was going on here.
He had to figure it out before he could make any plans.
Recently, his mother had become very determined.
She wouldnât even let him speak,
nor would she allow him to see Ning Wanru.
He knew his mother harbored hatred towards his grandmother, and he also knew that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships around the world generally werenât great.
He used to think it was just a simple family dispute.
But he had never expected it to be so serious.
Now he could do nothing; the only thing he could hope for was for his grandmother to die in her sleep.
After a long silence, he finally murmured, âIâm sorry, Iâm really sorry, Qiaoqiao, I didnât know grandmother had done so many bad things, but I still came to you today without distinguishing right from wrong. Itâs my fault, all my fault.â
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Jiansheng and continued, âLetâs not talk about the grudges of the older generation, just take our family and the hatred between your grandmother and your father, Gu Jiansheng, letâs clear things up today once and for all.â
Gu Jiansheng nodded with difficulty.
âNing Wanru was determined to consider the Gu Familyâs fortune as her own, so she planned to eliminate the Gu Familyâs descendants one by one.â
âAt first, she didnât know where my grandfather was, but she found him before the Great Grandfather did.â
âShe then learned that my grandfather had already passed away.â
âAt that time, to prevent the Great Grandfather from recognizing us, she sent some people to Qingshui County.â
âYour elder brother played a role in this as well.â
âShe also sent a female teacher to seduce and entrap my father.â
âAt that time, it was a two-pronged approach.â
âFirst, they framed and entrapped, then they abducted people, knocked them unconscious, and threw them into the river, creating the illusion of suicide.â
âLetâs hypothesize for a moment; if Captain Zhou and I had not arrived in time that day, my father would certainly have died.â
âIf my father died, my mother definitely couldnât have withstood the shock, and moreover, my father would have died carrying the accusation of attempted rape.â
âGiven my motherâs temperament, she would certainly fall ill and never recover.â
âThat way, only a younger brother and a younger sister would be left at home.â
âAt that time, we hadnât been recognized by the Old Patriarch and were still helpless and alone.â
âThen I guess, she wouldnât stop there.â
âJust considering the Curse of Extinction she buried under the old locust tree at Gu Garden decades ago, I know your grandmother would not rest until Gu Qingfengâs lineage was exterminated.â
âSo, the three of us would not have survived.â
Gu Jianshengâs chest heaved, his body trembled slightly.
He knew, Gu Qiaoqiaoâs assumptions could very well be true.
Gu Qiaoqiao continued, âAssuming none of this had happened, letâs now talk about the incident at Reed LakeâŠâ
âYou probably already know, your grandmother had a hand in that as well.â
âBack then, if those people had successfully kidnapped me and sold me to a Demonâs Lair abroad, you know what kind of place that is, right?â
