Chapter 24: Gu Xuexue’s Pitiful Screams

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Qiqi was hit!

The acidic and corrosive liquid in the test tube made Gu Qiqi’s skirt foam.

The broken glass pieces pierced her skin and blood was quickly drawn.

“Young Lady Qiqi!”

Special Assistant Lu never expected Zhu Fen to be so vicious.

Didn’t she know that this cart could kill someone?

He was about to stretch out his hand and pull Gu Qiqi towards him and fend off the cart at the same time to stop the test tubes from further hitting the latter.

Suddenly, Gu Xuexue’s high heels discreetly hooked forwards. She had been eyeing this chance to trip Gu Qiqi and force her to fall onto the ground.

If that happened, then Gu Qiqi only had two choices…

She would either be crippled by the fallen cart or be severely injured by rolling down the escalator!

However, as soon as she stretched out her leg—she saw Gu Qiqi looking up at her.

Gu Qiqi’s big grape-like eyes on her small snow-white face were deep and cold.

They seemed to have seen through what she was about to do!

Gu Xuexue couldn’t help but shiver.

She had already stretched out her leg.

If she didn’t teach Gu Qiqi a profound lesson, she was going to be in trouble!

Her heart hardened. Gu Xuexue’s foot caught hold of Gu Qiqi’s ankle and she tripped her.

Special Assistant Lu didn’t manage to grab her in time!

He watched as Gu Qiqi’s body started to roll down the escalator.

Damn it!

Master Jue was watching this!

If his incompetence caused Young Lady Qiqi’s death.

How was he going to take responsibility for it?

Special Assistant Lu was frightened out of his wits.

He took two quick steps backwards and tried to grab Gu Qiqi’s arm.

But in the very next moment, something else happened.

“Ah!!!”

Gu Xuexue’s sorrowful cry reverberated.

She was covering her bleeding arm that had been sliced open without her noticing it.

She couldn’t support her body with her injured arm and tilted towards the escalator.

The escalator belt wrapped around Gu Xuexue’s skirt and it dragged her down.

“Oh—Woah!!!”

Gu Xuexue’s back struck the elevator steps, and she let out a series of pitiful screams.

Soon after, she rolled all the way down the escalator.

Her head, face, arms, and entire body kept knocking against the escalator steps.

It caused her to let out a series of pained cries.

That wasn’t all.

As she rolled down, her skirt got caught in the belt. Thus…

A tearing sound could be heard.

Gu Xuexue’s long designer dress was instantly torn open.

Her buttocks became exposed to the public.

“Wow, thongs!”

“Tsk! What an eyesore!”

“Whose daughter is so shameless to wear that kind of thing in a hospital?”

“Eh? Why does that seem like Director Gu’s niece?”

“The one who’s usually pampered and sweet with words?”

“Pampered and sweet? She’s obviously coquettish, all right?!”

The first floor of the hospital was the most crowded place where people often came and went.

Gu Xuexue rolling down the escalator in such a “grand” manner out of nowhere caused a commotion.

She finally stopped rolling when she landed on the last step of the escalator. Her entire body ached all over. A cool breeze blew and a lump of viscous blood trickled down her forehead and got stuck on her eyelids. She felt that she was going to die.

However, the ridicule of the passers-by and her acquaintances made her feel so ashamed and angry that she didn’t dare to raise her head and call for help.

She could only pretend to be dead.

Zhu Fen watched in horror as not only did Gu Xuexue fail to cause any harm to Gu Qiqi, but she was instead the one to fall down the escalator in such a terrifying manner—it was hard to look at.

The victim of this incident, Gu Qiqi was standing steadily at the edge of the escalator.

She was looking at Gu Xuexue, who was in a miserable condition, from above.

How fierce! How domineering!

Zhu Fen’s hands shivered and she started to panic.

How did this nerdy eldest daughter of the Gu family do it?

Gu Qiqi had always been stupid and was like a wooden block.

How could she have avoided Gu Xuexue’s move just now?

Her shivering gaze shifted to Gu Qiqi’s wrist.

There, she saw the steel handcuff around the railing next to the escalator.

Its hold around the railing stabilized Gu Qiqi’s body and prevented her fall.

A thin scalpel was hidden between her fingers. No one saw how she managed to injure Gu Xuexue’s arm which caused the latter to replace her in rolling down the escalator.

Of course, Zhu Fen also didn’t notice this!

It was precisely because she didn’t see the cause and effect that she became more afraid!

Gu Qiqi was vicious.

Gu Qiqi was too scary.

It would be unlucky to provoke Gu Qiqi!
