Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 106: A daughter like Gu Zhi, I’d rather not have!

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: A daughter like Gu Zhi, I’d rather not have!

Qin Zheng and Qin Mo were standing in the living room, while Mrs. Qin faced the window, seemingly on a call, looking troubled.

On the other end of the call, a cold voice shouted:

"What exactly do you, Qin Family, want? Don’t be too greedy! Watching your hard-earned daughter suffer on the show and being ignored by everyone makes you happy, doesn’t it?"

The woman’s voice was sharp and piercing, slicing through Mrs. Qin’s chest like a knife.

She tightly gripped the phone, her lips trembling as she said, "What exactly do you want... Gu Yiyi is my daughter, isn’t Zhi Zhi your daughter..."

"Shut up!" She was sharply interrupted by the other person’s voice before she could finish, "I don’t need you to tell me what to do. I’ll give you two million; take Gu Zhi and leave Imperial City with your family, and never set foot in Imperial City again, nor show off online!"

"A daughter like Gu Zhi, I can do without!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo and Qin Zheng were both taken aback. They instinctively glanced at Gu Zhi, their whole bodies tensing up.

However, Gu Zhi remained expressionless, guessing who was on the other end of the phone. She stepped forward and took the phone directly, speaking coldly:

"Two million is too little, don’t you think?"

"Gu, Gu Zhi?" Mrs. Gu was stunned upon hearing the voice.

Gu Zhi sneered, her voice even colder, "Then how much do you want? Gu Zhi, you really are beyond my expectations. What kind of dirty tactics did you use to make your second brother lose this lawsuit—"

"A house in Yujing, transferred to my name." Gu Zhi said coldly, threatening, "Otherwise, I’ll release the recording of your call now. The real and fake daughters of the Gu Family should be very intriguing to the netizens, right?"

"You!" Mrs. Gu was so angry that she couldn’t breathe, "Demanding so much!? Gu Zhi, how can you be such an ungrateful daughter? Helping an outsider to extort your own mother, how can you be so shameless!"

Gu Zhi sneered, her face expressionless, "Stop talking nonsense. If you dare say one more word, I will definitely let everyone know that I am indeed your daughter. Your treasured daughter’s and son’s future should be worth more than this amount, right?"

After saying this, she didn’t wait for the other to respond and directly hung up the call.

On the other end, Mrs. Gu was furious. Her original intention was to warn the Qin Family and drive them away, but she ended up being extorted by Gu Zhi!

This beast!

Meanwhile, Gu Zhi calmly returned the phone to Mrs. Qin, "In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, just ignore it and block the number."

Mrs. Qin and Qin Zheng, along with Qin Mo, looked at her with concern, "Zhi Zhi..."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Gu Zhi gave a faint smile.

Qin Zheng was so angry that his eyes were red. He kicked the chair next to him, "Damn it, what kind of people are they, Zhi Zhi? We just won’t go back to that family anymore!"

"We weren’t going back anyway." Gu Zhi patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I’ve drawn the line since I appeared on the show."

Qin Zheng pressed his lips tight, feeling a flame of anger in his heart. It was impossible to not feel upset; how could parents say such cruel words?

More than anything, he was heartbroken for Gu Zhi.

Qin Mo wore a serious expression, saying nothing, only moving unconsciously closer to Gu Zhi.

Mrs. Qin wiped her tears, filled with unbearable heartache, and shifted the topic, "Zhi Zhi, why did you transfer so much money to me? Keep your money for yourself; earning it isn’t easy for you either..."

"I recently received a handsome paycheck, not much. You just spend it."

After saying that, she glanced around the room, "Where are Dad and the eldest brother?"

"Dad went to work on the construction site. The eldest brother and the second brother seem to be quite busy these days and haven’t been back from the dormitory." Qin Zheng explained, wrapping an arm around her, "Hungry, right? Come, let’s eat. The youngest cooked today!"

Gu Zhi was a little surprised upon hearing this and glanced at Qin Mo.

The latter looked embarrassed and ducked behind her, saying softly, "I made your favorite caramelized apples."

Gu Zhi paused; she was surprised that he could make such a difficult dish.

Whenever she returned, the Qin Family’s meals were always sumptuous.

Soon, the table was filled with various delicious dishes.

And the dishes gradually changed from the original owner’s favorites to her preferred flavors.

Once seated, Qin Zheng poured Gu Zhi a glass of cola, excitedly saying:

"Zhi Zhi, I watched your new movie today. It’s your first time acting, right? You did so well; it broke my heart, and I cried several times; my eyes are all swollen!"

Remembering the scenes Gu Zhi acted in the movie, each one tugged at his heart, thinking of Gu Zhi not being accepted by the Gu Family.

Gu Zhi curled her lips, "I’ll compensate you with a bottle of eye drops later."

"Pfft."

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

"I watched it too," Mrs. Qin offered a piece of meat to Gu Zhi, unable to resist saying, "You acted so well. It’s your first time, and you performed better than Yiyi. She’s acted in so many films, yet can’t compare to you. Zhi Zhi truly is remarkable."

She spoke the truth. In the movie, Yiyi indeed didn’t perform as well as Zhi Zhi.

Even if she didn’t quite understand it, Yiyi’s role looked obviously acted, whereas Zhi Zhi’s was much more natural.

Qin Zheng paused in surprise, looking dumbfounded up at the ceiling, "Was Gu Yiyi in it too? Which one was she?"

Everyone: "..."

Gu Zhi laughed, "Jiang Yinru, the girl who excels in her studies."

"Her..." Qin Zheng thought back, not having much of an impression; he really couldn’t tell who she was.

On the other side, Qin Mo changed the subject, rarely teasing with a joke:

"Third Brother was mumbling curses while watching, saying he wanted to hit Ye Zhaoping, and nearly broke the remote in anger."

Gu Zhi finally couldn’t hold back her laughter; she could almost imagine the scene.

In the original script, Qin Zheng was an impulsive character, only showing patience when dealing with his sister.

After lunch, Qin Zheng was in charge of washing the dishes, and Gu Zhi accompanied Mrs. Qin in the living room to watch ’Micro Light’ again, her first time seeing it.

In just a morning, ’Micro Light’ had exceeded seventy million views online and was still climbing.

Gu Zhi had reviewed and replayed her own works many times. This was the first time she watched it with "family."

The feeling was undoubtedly different.

In the afternoon, Gu Zhi didn’t leave either. Mrs. Qin planned to make dumplings; she’d already bought flour and filling. The few of them started preparing and dividing tasks for making dough, rolling, and mixing filling.

Gu Zhi had never experienced this, and Mrs. Qin didn’t intend for her to step in. The three divided the work well; Gu Zhi found it interesting, watching and taking photos with her phone.

Qin Zheng and Qin Mo finished rolling the wrappers, and Mrs. Qin completed the filling; the three started wrapping dumplings together.

Gu Zhi dared not interfere initially, worried about making a mistake, but after watching for a while, she couldn’t resist trying.

However, watching and wrapping herself were completely different. Gu Zhi tried two and both fell apart.

Qin Zheng happened to notice.
