177 Chapter 177 Exposing Her
Chunhong wanted to cry at that moment. She tried to fake a twisted ankle, so she gently tilted her foot.
She didn’t expect that she would twist it too much, and her entire ankle swelled up in an instant. She was in such pain that she didn’t care about her schemes anymore.
She yelled for help and cried for real at the same time.
“This… seems to be real.” Gu Chengye said as he listened to her anguished cries.
“Then go find her mother or a strong woman to a.s.sist her.” Gu Chengzhi decided.
“That’s true. Be careful, big brother, and don’t fall into her trap.” Gu Chengye ran into the village after that.
Gu Chengzhi, on the other hand, walked toward Chunhong.
At this time, Chunhong also noticed Gu Chengzhi. Seeing that it wasn’t the person she had been thinking about, she cried as she demanded, “Why is it you?”
“Why? Are you here waiting for someone?” Gu Chengzhi asked with a faint smile.
“How, how could that be? I just didn’t expect it to be Brother Gu.” Chunhong replied with an awkward smile.
“That’s good. I was afraid that I would ruin your plans.” After Gu Chengzhi finished speaking, he sat three meters away from her.
At the same time, he was certain she was here to set up a trap for Gu Chengye.
What a pity…
Her acting skills were wasted because she ran her mouth.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong. Seeing her grimace as she moved, he knew she had twisted her ankle for real and that she was a ruthless person willing to do anything for her goal.
Chunhong tried getting up a few times but only ended up in more pain. She could only ask for help, “Brother Gu, I beg you to help me up.”
“Let’s just wait; Chengye has returned to the village to call for help.
“Besides, even if you stand up, you need someone to support you. I’m not suited to do that.
“But don’t worry, I’ll stay here and help you drive away any wild animals that might come.” Gu Chengzhi a.s.sured her while shaking his head.
“You!” When Chunhong saw how he avoided her like the devil, she was so furious that her leg hurt even more. She stayed silent after that.
She was also afraid of being seen by others if he helped her. She didn’t want to be Gu Chengzhi’s concubine.
On the other end, Gu Chengye hadn’t run far when he b.u.mped into Widow Hua, who immediately came forward. “Auntie, you’ve come at the right time. Chunhong sprained her ankle on the mountain. Come with me.”
“She sprained her ankle? Is it serious?”
“I’m not sure. We didn’t want to cause a misunderstanding, so we didn’t go up to take a look.
“You guys…”
“Yes, my big brother is nearby. I ran down to look for someone to help her.”
Widow Hua was upset when she heard that. It was one thing for her to disagree with her daughter’s marriage to Gu Chengye, but she didn’t want her daughter to be avoided like the plague.
It seemed that this marriage was impossible. She would take advantage of the fact that she couldn’t walk with her sprained ankle to persuade her to give up.
When the two arrived, they saw Gu Chengzhi standing on a stone and looking into the distance.
As for Chunhong, she was sitting on the hard ground and still struggling. She had to move as she was lying on the cold ground and was afraid she would freeze to death.
Widow Hua’s heart ached when she saw this. She quickly ran down and asked, “How’s your injury? Is it serious?”
“Mother, I’m in pain.” When Chunhong saw her, she immediately threw herself into her arms and wailed pitifully.
When Widow Hua heard this, she immediately rolled up her daughter’s trousers a little to take a look. Her nose twitched, and tears streamed down her face when she saw her ankle swollen like a steamed bun.
However, she couldn’t let the two Gu brothers laugh at her now. She helped her daughter up quickly and said, “Let’s go. Mother will help you quickly find a doctor.”
“Ouch, lighter, lighter. It hurts so much.” Chunhong cried out in pain while standing up, and the pain was so intense that she couldn’t help but shed tears.
