“Gu Chen, go back to your room first.” This was the first time Ye Zhiqing called his name so coldly. Gu Mingcheng didn’t feel good, but he still turned around and entered the room.

Ye Zhiqing looked at Lin Xiu and Guo Aiqiang, who were discussing how much this house was worth.

She wished she could stab the two of them to death with a knife, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t give up her life for two scumbags. But why had they found her again? She’d had a hard time hiding.

Lin Xiu saw her standing at the door and said shamelessly, “Zhiqing, you grew up in my orphanage. We haven’t seen each other for two years, so why aren’t you coming over? Come and sit here.”

She was completely treating himself as the master.

Ye Zhiqing walked to the living room and said coldly, “You’re not my mother.”

Lin Xiu’s expression instantly darkened, and she said with a straight face, “You don’t know how to be grateful when you grow up. I raised you, but not only did you not show filial respect to me on time, you even dared to hide yourself. Have you forgotten when you called me your mother when you were young?”

Guo Aiqiang chimed in, “That’s right, you’ve forgotten how you used to follow behind me and call me big brother when you were young. But you’re getting prettier and prettier. Come, call me big brother again.”

He smiled wretchedly and reached out to touch her face.

Ye Zhiqing took a step back. Her expression was extremely cold and her body was trembling from anger. This shameless mother and son dared to mention her childhood to her.

She did live in an orphanage since she was young, but ever since the death of the first director, Lin Xiu came to the orphanage. From then on, the orphanage became her nightmare. She took away all the money, and the children could only pick up rubbish to eat when they had nothing to eat. They even had to beg.

Guo Aiqiang also became the overlord of the orphanage. He liked to bully children, and Ye Zhiqing was often bullied by him.

“Just tell me what you want.” Ye Zhiqing sat on the sofa and looked at them coldly.

Lin Xiu stopped her son, who was still trying to take advantage of her, and said, “You know that the children in the orphanage can’t afford to eat, and no one has been willing to sponsor us for the past two years, so—”

“How much do you want?” Ye Zhiqing interrupted.

“One million,” Lin Xiu, her eyes filled with greed, said directly.

Ye Zhiqing sneered and said, “I guess Tian Xin sent you here.”

Lin Xiu was stunned and panicked for a moment. After she calmed down, she said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Give us the money now, or we’ll tell everyone what happened back then.”

Ye Zhiqing’s face turned pale. A trace of darkness flashed across her eyes as she said, “Then you can just tell them. I won’t be controlled by you anymore.”

This surprised both of them.

“You b*tch, the richer you are, the stingier you are. If I can’t get the money today, I’ll beat you to death.” Guo Aiqiang was a hooligan to begin with, unlike Lin Xiu, who always said that she wanted the money for the children in the orphanage. He strode over to Ye Zhiqing and raised his hand to hit her.

Ye Zhiqing’s body stiffened from the trauma she had suffered when she was young. She could only watch helplessly as the slap landed, but she could not move. She could only close her eyes tightly.

The pain she was expecting did not come. She opened her eyes and saw that one hand had blocked Guo Aiqiang’s palm. Looking up, she saw that it was… Gu Mingcheng.

Gu Mingcheng, who had appeared, stood in front of her. He looked at Guo Aiqiang coldly and increased the strength of his hands. How could Guo Aiqiang, who was a slacker, be a match for Gu Mingcheng? Not long after, he cried out in pain.

Gu Mingcheng’s kick landed on Guo Aiqiang’s knee. Guo Aiqiang, unable to retaliate, knelt on the ground.

“How dare you hit my son? I’ll fight it out with you.” Lin Xiu, who had been waiting for Ye Zhiqing to suffer, saw that the situation was not good and immediately rushed forward to hit Gu Mingcheng. Gu Mingcheng frowned and threw Guo Aiqiang at her. The mother and son instantly fell together.

“Ouch!” Lin Xiu wasn’t young anymore. She couldn’t take it anymore after falling to the ground, not to mention Guo Aiqiang was on her.

Ye Zhiqing was also confused by this chaotic scene. The Gu Mingcheng in her eyes suddenly changed. It was as if time had traveled back to more than ten years ago. In a dilapidated courtyard, when she was young, she would tremble in fear when facing Guo Aiqiang’s fist. Suddenly, a hand appeared to stop his fist..
