Under My Skin

Chapter 1 Dirty Tricks

At the end of the stairways of the funeral home, Gu Xiaonian overheard a young woman talking on the phone behind the fire door.

It's Su Weiwei!

She lowered her voice but could not control her agitation.

"Mom, where do you want me to find you two million yuan?"

"I know. But you shall know that the old man just died, I won't be rich until his daughter, Gu Xiaonian, signs the document to give up inheriting the company's shares and assets!"

"Ask Shen Anmu for money? How dare you mention him? Didn't you think he was poor? If I had known that he was the illegitimate son of the president of the Shen's Group, would I have broken up with him and drugged the old man to climb into his bed? It's all your fault..."

"..."

Gu Xiaonian felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her blood froze.

Gu Xiaonian didn't hear what Su Weiwei said after that.

She turned around and stumbled back to the mourning hall. She knelt heavily in front of her father's portrait.

She ran away from home a year ago and never came back. She never answered her father's call. Even if he asked around to find out where she lived, she would avoid him.

She hated him!

Su Weiwei was her best friend in university, but when she brought Su Weiwei home, her father actually raped Su Weiwei. Mom couldn't take it. She jumped off a building and killed herself. The next day, before her mother was cremated, Su Weiwei's family went to the funeral home and forced her father to marry Su Weiwei...

"Daddy... Daddy... I see..."

Her face was pale and she muttered to herself.

It turned out that she had misjudged her father all along... Unfortunately, she would never have the chance to say "I'm sorry" to him again!

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Humph! This old man was worse than an animal. He had caused Weiwei such a miserable life. He deserved to die today! And here you are, shedding tears for him! Gu Xiaonian, you're so fucking disgusting!"

A man's disdainful voice sounded.

Shen Anmu... A sharp pain streaked across her heart.

Gu Xiaonian turned around, shaking. "Anmu, we were all deceived by Su Weiwei. She..."

Shen Anmu interrupted her angrily. "Enough! Gu Xiaonian! You drugged Weiwei and put her in your father's bed! If it weren't for you, Weiwei and I would have been engaged! How dare you say that now?"

Gu Xiaonian's eyes widened in shock.

Then a bitter smile appeared on her face. "I drugged her? Why?"

"Why? You were just jealous that I was with Weiwei, weren't you? Gu Xiaonian, I liked Weiwei first when I was in college, but she kept rejecting me, saying you were her best friend, and she didn't want to hurt you! It took me months of hard work to woo her before she agreed to be my girlfriend!"

"So, Gu Xiaonian, if you don't want to give up, come at me! Don't hurt Weiwei!"

Gu Xiaonian turned pale and staggered back a few steps.

Shen Anmu thought of something and gritted his teeth. "Weiwei is so gentle and kind. She treats you as her best friend, yet you are so cruel to hurt her! However, good and evil will eventually be repaid. Today is the retribution of the old thing! Gu Xiaonian! You won't end well either."

Gu Xiaonian's blood instantly surged. She sneered and said as she wanted.

"So what? Su Weiwei's my stepmom, and now my dad's dead, so she's a widow! Her life has already been ruined!"

Shen Anmu said word for word. "Weiwei was framed in the beginning. Even if she was a widow, she was more innocent than you, a vicious woman!"

There was a "Bang" in her head.

"Anmu? Nian? You're here?"

Su Weiwei walked over and held her arm affectionately as before.

Gu Xiaonian's eyes turned cold and she threw her hand away in disgust.

Shen Anmu glared at her fiercely.

"Gu Xiaonian!"

Su Weiwei said gently, "Anmu! Don't be angry. Nian's father just left. She's in a bad mood. Go in first, and I will talk to her."

As soon as Shen Anmu walked away, Su Weiwei approached Gu Xiaonian and whispered, "Gu Xiaonian, I heard what you just said to Anmu. So you know all about it? You'd better be sensible and quickly sign the agreement to give up your property."

Gu Xiaonian sneered. Finally, she showed her true colors!

"Don't be wishful thinking. I won't sign it even if I die."

Su Weiwei said slowly, "Why are you doing this? You don't have a father or a mother anymore. If you continue to oppose me, I'll have to think about what else you can lose!"

Gu Xiaonian gritted her teeth. "Aren't you afraid of karma?"

Su Weiwei smiled with her back to the others. "Karma is your father's death, and the Gu Family's company and property are mine. Oh, by the way, Anmu also said that I have been wronged for the past two years. He wants to hold a grand wedding for me and marry me in glory!"

Gu Xiaonian felt her chest being torn and her blood gushing out.

She clenched her fists and held it in. She turned her head away and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

However, Su Weiwei refused to let her off the hook. "Gu Xiaonian! It Looks like you refuse to be convinced until you are faced with grim reality! Anmu said that his bottom line is not to hit women. Do you think whether he would put aside his bottom line if he saw you hit me?"

The alarm went off in Gu Xiaonian's head.

This woman really only had such despicable methods.

Just then, someone came over.

Su Weiwei was stunned, then she was thrilled. She greeted him respectfully, "President Huo!"

Gu Xiaonian turned her head.

The man was dressed in an expensive business suit and the diamond cufflinks on his shirt were dazzling. His facial contours were angular and masculine. He was so handsome and charming that people who saw him would forget to breathe.

However, there seemed to be ice of a thousand years under the clam surface of his eyes.

Huo Yunshen! Why is he here?

Su Weiwei had already walked up to Huo Yunshen. "President Huo, I am the new chairman of Keguang Company. Nice to meet you!"

She reached out to Huo Yunshen.

Her back was straight and her smile was sweet and elegant just right. She was not only stunning but also she made people feel pleasant for her elegance and smile reminded people of the comfort of a breeze.

Her eyes were bright and shining.

Although the present boyfriend Shen Anmu is not bad, this man is Huo Yunshen! He's the most powerful man in the city, she thought to herself.

Gu Xiaonian sneered inwardly. This woman was always like this. She would never be satisfied with what she had gotten.

But no man could resist her charm.

Seeing Huo Yunshen's gaze falling on Su Weiwei, Gu Xiaonian thought that he was tempted and he was going to shake Su Weiwei's hand.
