Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai had not only gifted toys to Gu Yin, but also had Wu Zhen prepare an assortment of delectable snacks, placing them one by one before her.
“Yinyin, these are all the snacks 1 enjoy,” Gu Dai presented with a smile, “try them and see if you like them too.”
Gu Yin pierced a piece of cake with her fork and popped it into her mouth, nodding vigorously in delight, without forgetting to exclaim, “Delicious!”
Seeing her enjoyment, Gu Dai encouraged Gu Yin to try the others as well.
After tasting more, Gu Yin couldn’t help but admire, “Cousin Daidai, your snacks are so tasty!”
“If you like them, I’ll have Uncle Wu prepare some for you to take home, okay?”
Gu Dai offered, watching Gu Yin’s sweet smile as she continued nodding.
Once Gu Zhi stepped outside the villa with Gu Yin, her smile could no longer hold its facade. She briskly escorted Gu Yin back to her own home.
Still munching on snacks, Gu Yin looked around and couldn’t help but comment, “Cousin Gu Zhi, how come your house is so much smaller than Cousin Daidai’s?”
Unable to restrain her frustration, Gu Zhi shouted, “Shut up!”
Gu Yin’s snacking halted, her eyes reddening as she stared blankly at Gu Zhi.
Immediately regretting her outburst, Gu Zhi quickly tried to console her, “Yinyin, I didn’t mean to be so harsh.”
But Gu Yin wasn’t receptive, crying out, “You’re lying, you yelled at me, I want to go home!”
Gu Zhi couldn’t let Gu Yin leave, needing her to leverage against Gu Si.
Softening her voice, Gu Zhi continued to placate, “Yinyin, I was just very sad, that’s why 1 lost my temper.”
“Sad?” Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
Gu Zhi nodded, confessing, “I used to live in a big villa, where your Cousin Gu Dai lives now, but she forced me and your second uncle and aunt out to this cramped house.”
Gu Yin instinctively denied, “Cousin Daidai wouldn’t do that, she’s a really nice person!”
It had been less than an hour since Gu Yin had met Gu Dai, yet she already referred to her affectionately as Cousin Daidai, seeming even closer to her than to Gu Zhi.
Suppressing her resentment, Gu Zhi forced a gentle tone, “Don’t be deceived by Gu Dai, she’s just lowering your guard to bully you when you least expect it. She’s a bad person.”
Doubt crept into Gu Yin’s mind, “Really?”
Gu Zhi affirmed with a nod, and seeing Gu Yin was listening, she revealed her plot, “Once you trust her, she’ll bag you up, beat you, and lock you in a windowless, pitch-black basement filled with bugs to eat you alive…”
At the thought of Gu Zhi’s chilling description, Gu Yin’s scalp tingled, and she screamed, “AHHHHH, don’t say that, Cousin Gu Zhi, I don’t want to be locked in a basement, 1 don’t!”
Seeing Gu Yin’s terrified expression, Gu Zhi smiled contentedly, pulling her into an embrace, whispering, “Don’t be scared, Yinyin, 1’11 protect you. Just do as 1 say, and you won’t get hurt.”
Eager for reassurance, Gu Yin pledged, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Cousin Gu Zhi. What should I do now to prevent Cousin Gu Dai from bullying me?”
Gu Zhi slowly disclosed her scheme, “For now, just get close to her, gain her trust, and then pour the powder 1 give you into her cup. Make her drink it.” Confused, Gu Yin questioned, “Powder? Are you trying to get me to kill Cousin Gu Dai?”
Gu Zhi flinched but quickly regained composure, laughing, “Of course not, why would I make you kill Gu Dai? 1 low could you think such a thing?”
Her mind racing with the possibility that Gu Dai had preempted this and warned Gu Yin, Gu Zhi feigned various scenarios.
Breaking Gu Zhi’s train of thought, Gu Yin said, “Because 1 saw it on a TV drama at home.”
Relieved, Gu Zhi chuckled, “Think about it, Yinyin, don’t they also use sleeping pills in dramas?”
Gu Yin recalled and hesitantly nodded, “Seems like it, but why give Cousin Gu Dai sleeping pills?”
Laughing, Gu Zhi explained, “Imagine, if Gu Dai takes sleeping pills, she’ll be asleep and won’t be able to bully you anymore, right?”
