【Fictional story! Brain storage area!】
“Gu Rou is just a cheap slut! Fooling around with men on the mountain in broad daylight—she has no shame at all!”
“Bullshit! My Gu Rou would never do such a thing!”
“My daughter Gu Li saw it with her own eyes! Could it be fake? You’re just making trouble for no reason!”
“See your ancestors! That filthy mouth of Gu Li’s spews crap the moment she comes home—she’s been dead set on ruining her sister’s reputation!”
“Hmph, that little slut of yours only cares about having fun. Why would she remember to come home? Even if she did, she’d end up drowned anyway! Dying in the mountains would count as good luck for her!”
Dragging her injured leg, Gu Rou finally hobbled down from the hillside. Her ankle throbbed with piercing pain, and her head felt stuffed with paste, buzzing nonstop. In her ears were women’s shrill, grating shouts, over and over again—“Gu Rou,” “Gu Li,” “slut,” “sleeping around”…
“Shut up! All of you, shut up!”
Li Xiufang’s frail body burst out with astonishing strength as she blocked the courtyard gate. Her eyes were bloodshot. “Zhang Cuihua! You’re Rou’er’s own second aunt! How can your heart be so vicious? Calling her a slut and a whore every other word—what are you up to? Get out! All of you, get out of here!”
Why is the underworld noisier than the apocalypse? Gu Rou thought dizzily.
She had struggled for five years in that hell overrun by zombies. She had finally found the key to restraining the new virus in a laboratory, only to be sold out by a traitor. She never even saw the killer’s face before her body was blown to pieces…
She was already dead in fragments—so why could she still feel pain?
“Ahhh! You dare hit me?!”
A sharp scream snapped Gu Rou back to her senses. She saw Zhang Cuihua clutching her cheek, which immediately swelled into a lump. Li Xiufang gripped a stone in her hand, her chest heaving violently.
“I’m hitting you, you foul-mouthed bitch who spews filth!” Li Xiufang had thrown caution to the wind. Her scrawny body lunged forward again, tangling with Zhang Cuihua—hair-pulling, ear-slapping, the scene descending into chaos.
“Gu Rou’s always been flirtatious and slutty! Even when she works she’s busy seducing men! She’s a whore ridden by thousands! She should be drowned when she comes back!”
“Bullshit! You’re just jealous! I’ll fight you to the death!”
“Jealous? Gu Li saw it with her own eyes! It can’t be fake! Maybe her own mother taught her! Everyone, judge for yourselves—teaching your daughter to sell herself!!”
Gu Rou dug her nails hard into her palm. The sharp pain pierced through the haze. Memories that didn’t belong to her surged in fragments—
Hongqi Commune, Xiangyang Production Brigade. The third branch of the old Gu family. A daughter, eighteen years old.
Yesterday, she went up the mountain with her cousin Gu Li to cut pig grass…
Gu Li’s jealousy. The wild pig on the mountain. Clothes torn during the struggle…
Gu Li’s slander. Her reputation utterly destroyed. Her fiancé stolen away. Forced to marry a scumbag, suffering endless humiliation, finally throwing herself into the river…
Her parents and brothers also became collateral damage because of her, meeting tragic ends…
Married to the Nation’s Richest Man and Spoiled Ruthlessly!
She had transmigrated into the cannon-fodder cousin who shared her exact name!
“Heh…” Gu Rou let out a low laugh, but her eyes were icy.
Damn it! If you want to climb upward, why should the original owner’s whole family be sacrificed as cannon fodder??
Gu Rou clenched her fists tightly, itching to beat the conscience-less author to a pulp. Did her family dig up the author’s ancestral grave or something, to be bullied like this…
But since she was here now, the female lead of this book needed to change!
Gu Rou took a deep breath, suppressing the surging fury and physical discomfort, and strode toward the two women locked in a brawl. She precisely seized Zhang Cuihua’s thick wrist and yanked it back hard!
“Ow!” Caught off guard, Zhang Cuihua stumbled several steps away.
Li Xiufang froze, then looked up and saw her daughter. Tears instantly welled up. “Rou’er! You’re back! Hurry and listen to what this black-hearted woman is saying, come fight her with me…”
Her words cut off abruptly.
The daughter before her was pale as paper, lips cracked, covered head to toe in mud and grass debris. Her clothes were torn to shreds, revealing bloody scratches underneath, and her right ankle was swollen alarmingly high. Those eyes that had always been meek and timid were now bloodshot, sharp as knives, carrying a coldness Li Xiufang had never seen before—and… killing intent?
Seeing Gu Rou in such a sorry state, Gu Li’s eyes flashed with wild delight.
She came back? Good that she came back! In this condition, it practically confirmed everything she had said!
“Gu Li,” Gu Rou’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly drowned out all the noise. She stared straight at Gu Li. “You said I went up the mountain not to cut pig grass, but to fool around with men, right?”
“Hmph, just look at you. If you weren’t rolling around in the grass, what were you doing?” Zhang Cuihua sneered, jumping in first.
Gu Li immediately put on a look of deep sorrow. “Xiao Rou, I know you’re upset, but what happened is what happened. If it didn’t, it didn’t. I can’t lie to everyone. This kind of behavior… is really not good. You need to wake up in time…”
“Wake up?” Gu Rou let out a scornful laugh, her gaze like an ice pick stabbing into Gu Li. “The one who needs to wake up is you, you pretentious, fake white lotus! Just looking at you makes me sick!”
“You shameless slut, you still have the nerve to curse others?!” Zhang Cuihua tried to pounce again.
Gu Rou ignored her completely and took a few strides to stand in front of Gu Li.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Three crisp, ringing slaps—fast and vicious—landed squarely on Gu Li’s face and mouth!
