C1 Rebirth

In a pitch-black room, a silhouette could be vaguely seen in the darkness, curled up in a corner.

Suddenly the door was opened, letting a bright ray of light into the room. The girl that was tied up in a corner seemed to react to the light, lifting up her head in the direction of the door to show her porcelain-skinned face. Her eyes squinted as if she were adjusting to the light, and her pillowy lips pursed slightly. Even though she was disheveled and her clothes were dirty, it still couldn’t hide her beauty like a diamond in the rough.

A split second later, she lowered her gaze again, hiding the indifference in her gaze.

The woman outside the door walked in, and her smile seemed extremely ominous under the lighting.

This was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Xijin. She was known far and wide for having a keen intuition in finance, and every choice that she had made on the behalf of the Gu family would bring it up to another level. In the three years she had taken over as the head of the Gu family, she was hailed by everyone in the scene as a genius that brought her family to glory from a second-rate family to one of the best in the world.

Not only that, her works of art were circulated in the art world as ones that would go down in history. All of her oil paintings were all kept as treasures in international exhibitions, and even the most talented artist in Hua Xia was infatuated with her because of her talent... She was the perfect daughter of the Gu family that countless people fawned over!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiqiao scoffed and started to laugh so hard that she almost cried.

This lady in front of her was her sister from a different mother, and they were quite close... Well at least that’s what she thought.

The day she joined the Gu family, she knew that she was an illegitimate daughter. She didn’t have Madam Gu’s favor especially when she stood out, so Gu Xiqiao continued to lower her presence as she hid behind Gu Xijin, helping her older sister step onto the heights of life.

The world only knew the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but none of them knew that all of her feats were sourced from the illegitimate daughter.

In the eyes of the general public, Gu Xiqiao was just a stupid girl that wasn’t talented in anything.

Meanwhile, Gu Xijin was widely praised as the perfect successor of the Gu family and a one-in-a-million genius.

Gu Xiqiao didn’t care about what the world thought of her. She was easily moved by acts of kindness towards her, and because Gu Xijin had always treated her well back when she first joined the family, she had always helped her sister without a single complaint.

She put in all of her blood, sweat, and tears into helping the Gu family reach the heights that it was at now, but now they were going to sacrifice her for the sake of Gu Xijin!

She was thrown away like a disposable tool!

Hilarious... How hilarious!

"Why?" Gu Xiqiao suddenly stopped laughing and fixed Gu Xijin with a questioning gaze.

What came next, however, was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Gu family was suddenly involved in a severe financial crisis, and while the eldest miss of the Gu family tried to turn the tide, she ultimately lost to a small company without even putting up much of a fight.

This was news that truly caused the discussion around the Gu family to grow even further, and at this point everyone had realized that something was wrong. Why did the eldest daughter of the Gu Family become useless as soon as the second daughter died? Did she feed all her genius and talent to some pigs?

Soon after, proof that the eldest daughter of the Gu family had been smuggling illegal goods and bribing people in high places and even more unspeakable acts, and was punished with life imprisonment.

[The system has automatically marked this person as red, proceed with caution!]

She lowered her head, her hair covering her expression momentarily as she smiled deviously for a moment.

Her crystal clear eyes seemed to suddenly be clouded with a complex emotion, and she only squinted her eyes with a mock-smile as she raised her cup towards her half-sister. "Happy birthday, sister."

After she said so, she put down her wine cup and left.

Her tone was clear and gentle but filled with a frigid coldness, and was a far cry from her gloomy and depressed demeanor. Was this really that Gu Xiqiao?

Gu Xijin hadn’t reacted for a moment, and just let the younger girl walk out of the front door just like that.

The white-clothed young woman whispered at the bunch of rich kids, and because it had been uncommon to see such a pretty and delicate girl they immediately followed after Gu Xiqiao. Strangely enough, no matter how they walked, they couldn’t walk out of the main entrance.

Was something supernatural happening to them? A chill ran up the spines of the rich kids.
