In the damp and cold basement, Gu Xiaoyue crouched in the corner.
In addition to coldness, there was more pain.
The terrible beating and whipping almost made her naked.
"Pa-"
A marriage certificate was thrown on her face. Her six-year-old boyfriend and sister snuggled up together and smiled sweetly.
The circle of data in the photo seemed to be printed on her heart at this moment, which was painful.
"Sister, I'm married to Hao, so I came here to tell you this good news." Gu Ruiling showed a gloating look.
"Oh, in order to make me marry that invalid of the Ling Family, you can think of any way."
Gu Xiaoyue hugged herself tightly, but her body was getting colder and colder, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The loving look on the marriage certificate made her sick.
Suppressing the grief in her heart, she raised her head and struggled to squeeze out a few words. "Why?"
He Wenhao, the man she had loved for six years, gave up everything between them so easily.
"Look at how poor you are. How could Hao fall in love with you?" Gu Ruiling became more and more complacent.
"Gu Xiaoyue, don't you know what's good for you! No matter what, the Ling Family is a top aristocratic family in City H. It's you who can marry him. Don't be ungrateful."
"Really? Then why don't you get married?"
Gu Xiaoyue was originally an ordinary poor girl, and her mother was in bed. When she was alone, a man suddenly said that he was her father and wanted to give her the best life.
Unexpectedly, it was a scam! And she was just a pawn.
There was an illness in the Ling family that needed to be congratulated. Old Master Gu couldn't bear to marry his First Miss, so he asked her, his illegitimate daughter, to replace him.
Thinking of this, the hatred in Gu Xiaoyue's heart grew stronger.
"Sister, you're confused. Hao and I are getting married tonight. How can we marry Young Master Ling?" As she spoke, her lips curled into a mocking smile, and her gaze was filled with a strong sense of provocation.
She couldn't control the anger in her heart anymore. Gu Xiaoyue stepped forward and reached out to Gu Ruiling.
But she was easily pushed away by Gu Ruiling and fell heavily to the ground.
Before he could react, a crisp sound was heard, and a burning pain came from his face.
She stubbornly raised her head and looked at the "sister" who had just slapped her.
"I advise you to agree to this marriage as soon as possible so that you won't suffer any more physical pain."
The door was closed heavily, and the dead silence swept over with loneliness.
Gu Xiaoyue lowered her head and trembled slightly. Then she laughed out loud. Her smile was ferocious and horrible, and tears could not stop falling from the corners of her eyes.
From the beginning to the end, in their eyes, she was such a clown.
She was unwilling to give up. What had she done wrong? They had to treat her like this.
The Gu family, who had framed the mother and daughter, and He Wenhao, who had betrayed her for six years, had to make them pay hundreds of times the price.
She had to live well!
She got up and looked back at the place where the red light was shining in the room. She moved her lips and said, "I agree. You don't need to lock me up."
The person behind the camera could read her lips, so he immediately sent someone to take her out.
The Gu family could not wait to set the wedding date. Ten days later, the wedding would be held as scheduled.
The Ling Family was the strongest family in City H. If the heir of the family got married, it was destined to be an eternal wedding.
As expected, as soon as they got out of the luxury wedding car, many reporters with long guns and short cannons swarmed in.
The luxury cars at the entrance of the hotel were piled up and crowded.
It was so luxurious and lively!
Seeing this scene, the corner of her mouth showed a trace of bitterness. She followed the emcee into the hotel through the passage opened by the bodyguards next to her.
When she saw He Wenhao's smiling face on the guest's seat, she felt extremely ironic.
"He Wenhao, wait and see. There will be a day when you beg me."
Today, she was going to be a proud white swan. Even if she was pretending, she was worthy of being the protagonist.
Step by step, the green carpet soon arrived at the altar.
She stood straight and quietly waited for the wedding hero to come.
However, as time went by, the hero never appeared.
"Some people really think who they are. Unfortunately, Young Master Ling doesn't like them..."
Someone in the crowd made a bold and mocking sound. The crowd echoed, and the noise became louder and louder, and the look in their eyes became more unscrupulous.
Gu Xiaoyue took a deep breath and took the microphone. She was polite and decent.
"I'm really sorry. I have something urgent to attend to, so I can't be there for the time being. I'm here to apologize on behalf of him."
Her words were natural and graceful, without any bashfulness. She bowed deeply and gracefully walked off the stage.
The scene gradually calmed down. The crowd no longer mocked him, and they were even a little amazed.
This new Young Madam of the Ling Family was not as bad as they thought.
Without a groom, it would only take a while for the wedding to be lively and luxurious.
Gu Xiaoyue sat alone in the shadow, quietly watching the scene that was slowly fading down. She only felt cold all over.
Although what she just said was beautiful, the groom didn't even show up at the wedding. As a woman, how could she not mind?
While she was thinking, suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of her under the shadow above her head.
