Chapter 1244 A new addition
Gu Mu was considered the troublemaker of her family. As she was the youngest, she had been doted on by her father a lot when she was young, by the time she grew up, Gu Mu was spoiled rotten by her father.
Her father tried to change Gu Mu's behaviour but it was already too late and Gu Mu became a problematic child. Her attitude became so worse that even the Mistress of the Gu family gave up on her, but Gu Mu never thought that there was anything wrong with her and only thought that her mother's expectations towards her were very high.
What she did not know was that Old Madam Gu only wanted one thing from Gu Mu and that was —— for her to not cause any trouble for her.
Gu Ke Jin was the same. She couldn't believe that Gu Mu had tried to burn someone to death just because she was a bit jealous of Zi Zan. It doesn't matter whether Zi Zan was Yu Dong's family member or not. What her sister did was simply inhuman! Even though Zi Zan was alive and well it did not mean that Gu Mu did not intend to kill Zi Zan!
Gu Ke Jin was aware of what kind of person Gu Mu was, the second she heard Yu Dong say that Gu Mu had thrown hot oil on Zi Zan, she knew that Gu Mu had really done it and was now trying to shirk responsibility.
"Mumu, you better come out with the truth! If you have really harmed Sister Zi, I will apologize on your behalf. Even the punishment will be reduced if you tell the truth," Gu Ke Jin was willing to help Gu Mu as the latter was her sister and her third daddy only had this one daughter. If not he wouldn't have doted on Gu Mu to this point.
Though Gu Ke Jin was trying to help Gu Mu, the latter did not believe that Gu Ke Jin was helping her out of kindness.
The reason was simple, Gu Mu had been envious of Gu Ke Jin ever since she was a child more importantly the two of them were born from different fathers and thus Gu Mu had no trust in Gu Ke Jin, so when she heard Gu Ke Jin say that she should confess her crimes, Gu Mu thought that Gu Ke Jin was trying to send her to the prison because she did not like her.
And wanted to take advantage of this situation.
Gu Mu's eyes widened as she glared at Gu Ke Jin and then said, "You just want to imprison me, how can you believe outsiders? I am your sister!" Gu Mu felt wronged, she was Gu Ke Jin's sister, as they were from one family, her sister should have helped her instead of outsiders.
"She is my boss! Don't you know how much is my salary? I can earn the said compensation in a month! Do you think that my boss who can give me three hundred taels as salary would come here to blackmail you for it?" Gu Ke Jin was speechless. It was fine if her sister was good for nothing but why was she even stupider than a child?
Did she think that there was any other option other than confessing this time around?
They had run into an iron wall! Yu Dong did not lack money this time around even if she was willing to take out the money that she had saved, Yu Dong would not leave this matter.
Gu Mu's face turned red. This was something that indeed worried her, Yu Dong was so rich why would she cause trouble for no reason and that too for such a small sum as three hundred taels? Other than justice there shouldn't be no reason for Yu Dong to cause a ruckus like this but Gu Mu did not want to go to the Yamen!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She did not want to be imprisoned!
She had always lived a life which was filled with comfort, how could she stay inside the Yamen?
"Sister… Daddy Jin said that you are Miss Yu's assistant..clearly, you are really important to her, so why don't you threaten with resignation? May…Maybe Miss Yu will give up on this matter?" Gu Mu heard Gu Ke Jin's father often praising his daughter, he would say things about how Gu Ke Jin was Yu Dong's right-hand woman and that Yu Dong would leave many things in the hands of Gu Ke Jin.
Doesn't this mean that Gu Ke Jin had a lot of secrets about the Yu family? If that was the case then Yu Dong would surely not let Gu Ke Jin leave, right?
If Gu Ke Jin threatens Yu Dong then the latter would step back. Maybe they could force Yu Dong into giving her a job? After all, it was Yu Dong who was in a vulnerable position.
Gu Ke Jin didn't have the slightest bit of idea about what was going on in Gu Mu's head. In fact, she did not even have the time to care about Gu Mu, she turned to look at Yu Dong who was staring at her with a smile on her face. Though Yu Dong was smiling, Gu Ke Jin knew that Yu Dong was running out of patience.
She turned to look at Gu Mu and then slapped her at once. Gu Ke Jin then scolded Gu Mu, "What do you mean by threaten, my boss? Do you think that such jobs can be picked up on the street? You are not only ruining your life but also destroying mine! Gu Mu! Wake up!"
Gu Mu did not expect that Gu Ke Jin would slap her, she wanted to scold Gu Ke Jin right then and there for supporting the outsiders instead of her but before she could do that, a carriage came to a stop with a whoosh and then the door opened. A young woman stepped out of the carriage, she looked at the crowd gathered outside the restaurant and shouted angrily, "What are you people looking at?
Get lost!"
