70s Island Flower Survivor

Chapter 1: Reborn At The Age Of Twenty

Sun Xiulan immediately reddened her eyes and looked at Gu Changjian for help, "I'm afraid of Ling Ling being upset. If we eat first, she might think that I, a stepmother, don't care about her..."

She then saw Gu Ling, who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, hurriedly and humbly jogged up to her, "Aiya, Ling Ling. What happened to you? How did you fall? Mom will look at the wound!"

She went down on one knee and pressed down on Gu Ling's wound, obviously in such a caring and humble posture, but it caused Gu Ling to suffer a sharp pain.

Gu Ling looked at this stepmother, who had deceived her with her appearance for a full twenty years and only revealed her true colors when she had drained her of all value. She took a step back and said, "You're hurting me by pressing on it."

Sun Xiulan froze and immediately cried, "Ling Ling, you see. I'm just stupid; I have a kind heart. I want to take a look at your wound, ah! Let's eat first; the family is waiting for you. If you don't come back, I don't even dare to start dinner!"

See, she had successfully portrayed Gu Ling as a villain, a villain who caused everyone to be unable to eat.

Thinking of the twenty years of her previous life, every time she was blocked by Sun Xiulan's innocent and gentle appearance, she was speechless and could only bury any grievances in her heart. Gu Ling let out a light laugh, "You can actually leave a separate portion of the meal in the pot, so that everyone doesn't have to wait for me. Auntie Liu in the alleyway said a few days ago that she doesn't know what's wrong with me every day. I have to make a family wait for me to come back in order to start the meal. Dad, I'm not like that, you can be my witness, I can't take such big offense."

Gu Changjian also frowned. "Then, in the future, just leave a separate portion of the meal in the pot."

Sun Xiulan's heart thumped, sensing that Gu Ling wasn't quite right, but she still smiled and said, "Then if Ling Ling doesn't want to eat with us, it's fine for me to leave a separate portion of the meal for you, and I'll listen to Ling Ling's wishes in everything anyway."

Tsk, this was another accusation of 'not wanting to eat with the family' for Gu Ling!

Gu Ling smiled and sat down on the chair, staring at her, and said, "I got off work late and couldn't make it back in time to eat together. It's not that I didn't want to eat with everyone; have you misunderstood?"

Sun Xiulan froze; instantly, her voice was choked with sobs, helplessly wiping her hand on her apron. "Ling Ling, did I say the wrong thing again to upset you? Look at me, I'm really damned. I'm worried about you. I care about you; that's why I'm like this. Don't be angry with me, okay?"

Next to her, Gu Ya couldn't stand it anymore and stood up angrily, "Gu Ling! After my mother came to the Gu family, where exactly did she wrong you? She's been sucking up to you and pleasing you at every turn, and you're still making things difficult for her like this; are you still not a human being!"

Even Gu Ling's own father, Gu Changjian, frowned. "Ling Ling, your mother is well-intentioned; how can you be like this?"

If it were Gu Ling from her previous life, she would have just stopped; after all, Sun Xiulan had already cried.

But it didn't count that whoever cried was justified. Gu Ling lowered her eyelashes and smiled softly. "So, what's wrong with me? Dad, please tell me. Which sentence was wrong? She insisted on waiting for me to come back before starting the meal. Everyone said that my big frame caused the family to not be able to eat in time. I refused, and she blamed me for not wanting to eat with the family. So what do I have to do? Or should I just be like Gu Ya, who scolds whoever is not a human being?"
