Chapter 229: She really is foolish
Translator: _Min_
Gu Yin revealed, “Gu Zhi was just using me. She lied to me that she was giving you sleeping pills, but instead, she handed me poison. If I had really done as she said, once you had an accident, she would have pushed all the blame onto me while remaining unaffected herself.”
Gu Dai praised her, “Well done.”
Gu Yin’s eyes sparkled, shining with unshed tears. It was the first time in her life she had been praised.
Unable to control her emotions, tears streamed down Gu Yin’s cheeks.
Seeing this, Gu Dai quickly reached for a tissue to wipe them away, asking with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Embracing Gu Dai, Gu Yin replied with a smile, “Cousin Daidai, I’m so happy. You are the first person to ever tell me these things. Before, no one ever taught me.”
Gu Dai chuckled softly, “Yinyin, I quite like you, so if you ever need my help in the future, just come to me.”
Gu Yin nodded repeatedly, her voice choked with emotion, “Okay!”
Gu Yin felt that if the first person she had met after getting off the plane had been Gu Dai, she would never have even glanced at Gu Zhi.
After sweeping the floor for several hours, Gu Zhi sneakily glanced toward the villa’s living room, only to find no sign of Gu Dai or Gu Yin.
Panicked, Gu Zhi made an excuse to go to the bathroom, where she hid and took out her phone. Opening the camera, she was shocked to see nothing but darkness.
“How can this be? There’s clearly network coverage,” Gu Zhi muttered to herself. “Damn it, the seller must have sent me a faulty camera. I’ll definitely leave them a bad review!”
Pacing in the bathroom, she prayed that Gu Yin had already served the water to Gu Dai.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Zhi froze, her expression tense, and asked, “Who is it?” contemporary romance
Standing at the door, Gu Yin said sweetly, “Cousin Gu Zhi, it’s me. The grandpa butler told me you were here, so 1 came to knock.”
Hearing it was Gu Yin, Gu Zhi opened the door with a look of joy. After making sure they were alone, she asked in a whisper, “Yinyin, how did it go? Did you give the sleeping pills to Gu Dai?”
Gu Yin hung her head, looking hurt, “Cousin Gu Zhi, shouldn’t you ask if I’ve been bullied?”
At that moment, Gu Zhi’s primary concern was to find out about Gu Dai’s situation; she had little interest in engaging with Gu Yin. Nonetheless, to avoid arousing any suspicion, she felt compelled to ask, “Did Gu Dai bully you at all?”
Gu Yin shook her head, “No, Cousin Gu Dai was already asleep before I could prepare the sleeping pills, so she didn’t bully me.”
Gu Zhi caught on to a crucial point, frowning, “So you didn’t give her the sleeping pills?”
With an innocent smile, Gu Yin replied, “Nope.”
Gu Zhi’s face soured as anger flared within her. Unable to contain herself, she questioned sharply, “Today was such a good opportunity. I reminded you so many times at home, why didn’t you give the water to Gu Dai?”
Gu Yin looked at Gu Zhi in fear, tears streaming down, “You’re scolding me… You said as long as Cousin Gu Dai is asleep, she won’t bully me. She fell asleep on her own so there was no need for sleeping pills. Why would you want me to give them to her?”
Irritated by Gu Yin’s tears and even more by her failure, Gu Zhi snatched the glass of water from Gu Yin’s hand and drank a big gulp.
Gu Yin’s lips curved into a smile as she watched.
After drinking the water, Gu Zhi remembered she still needed Gu Yin in the future and couldn’t afford to offend her.
She was about to soothe her when a sudden, intense pain exploded in her stomach, like a fireball rampaging within, rendering her speechless.
Curled up on the floor, Gu Zhi’s complexion turned ashen as she moaned in agony.
Her cries alarmed the servants in the villa, who hurriedly called for an ambulance, and she was taken to the hospital.
Watching Gu Zhi being carried away, Gu Yin shook her head with a sigh, “She really is foolish.”
Gu Dai, descending the stairs upon hearing the commotion, caught Gu Yin’s comment and stood beside her, asking, “What did you do?”
Gu Yin’s eyes glistened as she looked at Gu Dai, simply saying, “I didn’t do anything. Gu Zhi drank the water on her own..”
