Gu Meifeng had to rub her eyes clean to clearly see the identity of the person who was being surrounded by a crowd of people. She stared at that “ball” that cut a sorry figure.
That little princess-style of a blouse and that branded skirt—which had been torn to the point that what remained was just a bit of fabric... Wasn’t that what Gu Xuexue had been wearing today?
“My god! It’s Xue Xue! Xue Xue, what happened to you?”
Gu Meifeng was no longer able to retain her calmness and grace as she ran down the staircase in a stumbling manner.
Amidst her running, she even fell onto the floor once. But after climbing back onto her feet, she continued to run towards Xue Xue without a care for her image.
She had worked so hard to create the image of a virtuous lady for Xue Xue! It mustn’t be destroyed!
“How did Xue Xue fall down? Who did it?” Frowning, Gu Qiushan interrogated Gu Qiqi angrily.
Zhu Fen—who had her father, Zhu You, supporting her—immediately replied without waiting for Gu Qiqi’s reply. “It was Gu Qiqi! This useless bookworm did it!”
Gu Qiqi swept a glance towards her coolly.
Shivering abruptly, Zhu Fen immediately shut up and withdrew into Zhu You’s arms.
Gu Qiushan stepped forward and his complexion turned dark. “You evil daughter! Besides ruining an esteemed guest’s operation, you even bullied your younger sister?”
Honestly speaking, Gu Qiqi had already anticipated Gu Qiushan’s response early on.
But to hear such reproach with her own ears, her heart still hurt terribly.
Like it had been cut by a knife!
Since she was young, she had had no mother. Hence, she treated her father as her everything—love, respect and honor. Thus, even when she had been forced to study the nursing profession—which had been a painful, filthy and exhausting experience—she still obeyed him without the slightest complaint.
But he was the type of father who permitted Gu Meifeng and his daughter to push her, and her sickly brother to their deaths, step by step!
Was he her real father?
Even Zhu You—that scum—knew how to protect his own daughter!
Even Gu Meifeng—that type of malicious woman—rushed over to check on her daughter first before everything else!
But what about Gu Qiushan?
As soon as he walked over, the first words that came out of his mouth were words of rebuke towards his own daughter!
Heh heh, she must’ve been a convenient daughter whom he had picked up from some random place, right?
Gu Qiqi felt miserable. The expression on her face showed a cold smile that was filled with extreme disappointment. “What if I told you that I have nothing to do with the failure of that guest’s operation and Gu Xuexue’s fall was her reaping what she sowed?”
Would you believe me?
Gu Qiushan—as a father—will you choose to believe your own daughter?
Gu Qiushan was taken aback.
Afterwards, the fury on his face burned fiercer!
Interrogated by Gu Qiqi on the spot, he couldn’t ‘keep’ his old face.
“Gu Qiqi, you still dare to talk back? Department Head Zhu saw everything with his own eyes—you took the wrong anesthesia for the guest’s surgery and even Zhu Fen said that Xue Xue’s fall was your doing. Do you think that I’m stupid enough to believe your excuses after Surgeon Zhu, and this child Fen Fen had told me everything? Are you doing all of these because I have been too lenient to you lately?”
While speaking, he raised his hand and looked ready to hit her
Gu Qiqi was thoroughly disappointed.
Sure enough, her biological father would rather believe outsiders than her.
“Older Brother Qiushan. Look at what has become of Xue Xue?” Gu Meifeng carried Gu Xuexue up while weeping.
Gu Qiushan checked Gu Xuexue’s injuries nervously.
“Broken forehead, injuries on the arms... This won’t do, her wounds are too serious! We have to bring her to the operating room quickly to stitch it up! Zhu You, go quick! Use the best cosmetic thread. Young girls love to be beautiful so there mustn’t be a scar left behind, no matter what...”
Looking at Gu Xuexue’s terrible state, Gu Qiushan turned his anger onto Gu Qiqi, “Evil daughter! Who gave you the dog courage to hurt your younger sister?”
Gu Qiqi lifted her chin stubbornly. There was only a sneer left after her heart had shattered, “Perhaps, it was my dog father...”
The bleeding from Gu Xuexue’s superficial wounds wasn’t even 10 milliliters in volume and you are already this nervous?
Those who weren’t aware would probably think that Gu Xuexue was your biological child, right?
Gu Qiqi’s sarcasm shredded the last bit of ‘face’ on Gu Qiushan completely.
He was the dignified director of Qing Cheng Hospital. Even though he had asked for it, being addressed as a “dog father” was too humiliating for him.
“Today, no matter what! I must discipline you in front of everyone! This evil daughter!”
Gu Qiushan raised his arm high above once more. His palm fanned towards her ruthlessly without the slightest bit of hesitation!
