When Gu Lingsha said that, Gu Qiwu’s expression froze, but he did not flip out.
“I told you to get out.” His low and raspy voice did not allow for objection.
“Father! Why are you like Mother? If not because of Mu Zi but because of Mother’s miscarriage, I’m willing to have the two of you hit me and scold me! I already said that I didn’t do it on purpose! It’s all my fault! Just don’t blame Mother for it, alright? You’re wrong about some of these things too. If it weren’t for your scandal with Mu Zi, Mu Lingshi wouldn’t have come looking for trouble, and Mother wouldn’t have fallen down the stairs and have a miscarriage!” Gu Lingsha started to lose control and shout! Her blue eyes contained tears from being wronged.
“I lost my little brother. If both of you want to blame someone, just blame me. Don’t treat me like this because it makes me sad! Right now, you should be by Mother’s side and not be grounding her. You know how Mother is like! No one’s sadder than her about losing Little Brother—”
“Enough! Stop talking! Stop talking! If you say another word, I’ll kill you!”
Gu Lingsha had not finished when suddenly she felt a breeze. Before she could react, she felt a dark figure on her, then her slender neck was being gripped in a chokehold! With her eyes wide open, when she saw Gu Qiwu with his eyes red with murderous rage, she could not help but feel terrified!
“Father…Father…”
She could barely breathe as she widened her eyes in terror and stared at Gu Qiwu. She struggled hard and could not finish her sentence.
Still, Gu Qiwu did not loosen his grip. He held her tighter instead, and there was almost no doubt that if he used more force in the next second, he could break Gu Lingsha’s neck. Her blue eyes were filled with horror and she trembled as she looked at him.
Gu Qiwu’s eyes were scarlet, and a cold and gloomy aura emanated from all over him!“Brother? Where did you get a brother? Don’t bring that b*stard up to me! Do you hear me?! Where are you getting a brother from?! Where? Huh?” Gu Qiwu’s incensed bellow was filled with furious gunpowder as if it could instantly incinerate Gu Lingsha!
Because of the issue with Doris, Gu Qiwu was already mad and on the verge of breaking down. He had been cheated on by a woman he loved while she had done it so confidently without any regard for Gu Qiwu and stepped all over him. On top of that, she had racked her brains, thinking of ways to scheme against him, so how good of a mood could Gu Qiwu be in?
He wished he could just kill Doris right now!
When Gu Lingsha brought the child up, it clearly hit Gu Qiwu’s sore spot.
He gripped her tightly in a chokehold to the point that she could not breathe as she struggled in pain. Her pale little face was all red now while she was terrified and struggled hard as she hit Gu Qiwu, unable to utter a word.
After a while, Gu Qiwu found a sliver of rationality from his dazed self and suddenly let go of Gu Lingsha!
Bam!
Gu Lingsha fell to the ground all limply. As she took in huge breaths, there was still a terror in her eyes. She stared in fear at Gu Qiwu who emitted a chilly aura. Her frail body trembled as she breathed in hard. “Father…Father, what’s wrong? Little Brother—”
Bam, bam!
Pa!
As if a storm had landed, she immediately heard the sound of things shattering on the ground. In an instant, the teapot crashed to the floor!
“I told you to shut up! What brother? Your mother, that witch, betrayed me. Did you already know about this? And you keep calling him your little brother! All these years I’ve been so good to her, tolerating her, and this is how she treats me?”
Gu Qiwu kicked the chair aside angrily. The loud crash made Gu Lingsha instantly fall into a daze!
Her eyes widened as she looked at Gu Qiwu in shock.
What did he just say?
Betrayal?
Had her mother, Gu Lingsha, betrayed her father, Gu Qiwu?
Gu Lingsha could not immediately understand this news! Her mind buzzed and she subconsciously shook her head as she looked at him with wide-open eyes.
“What are you saying…b-betray…betrayed? How could this be? No way! Father, you’ve misunderstood Mother! There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Father, calm down. I’m sure it’s not what you think…” Gu Lingsha started to explain incoherently.
“Not what I think?” Gu Qiwu’s expression darkened and his fists clenched tight. His red eyes glimmered with a cold light as he forced a laugh. “She already admitted it herself. There’s no need for me to imagine it. Do you think I wouldn’t have known if it were my child? That b*stard’s not even two months into term. I’ve been in City Z for the past few months! Tell me, how could it be mine? Could it be? Haven’t I been good enough to her? Haven’t I been good to the two of you? How dare she cheat on me so publicly and even think of scheming against me?! Tell me! You tell me!” Gu Qiwu shouted violently at the top of his lungs. He was close to breaking down dejectedly. He no longer looked stern and prideful as he did in the past. Only bitter resentment was left, and there was a murderous aura radiating from him. Even Gu Lingsha was afraid by this sight!
“Father! Father! Calm down! Please calm down. Maybe it’s not what you think! Don’t be angry first, let’s all calm down, we can’t solve anything by being impulsive, cough, cough, cough—” Gu Lingsha rushed over frantically and quickly held him back!
“Let go of me! I want to kill that witch now!” Gu Qiwu’s fury was ablaze and he had gone mad now. All that crossed his mind was Doris’s nonchalant expression.
“Father, don’t! Calm down!”
“Let go of me! Go away!” Gu Qiwu struggled hard, and because he was too strong, he pushed her to the side while he rushed to the door.
Bam!
“Arghh!”
A shriek rang out as Gu Lingsha cried out in pain. She could not care about the pain that came from her wrist as she quickly reached out to hold Gu Qiwu and called out, “Father!”
However, before she could speak and hold onto Gu Qiwu’s sleeve, she suddenly saw his tall figure waver, and then—
“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!”
There was the sound of profuse coughing, then came the strong smell of blood with the wind. Before she could react, Gu Qiwu was already holding his belly as he fell flat forward.
