Chapter 1516 Gui Xiaofeng is Going Crazy

Gui Xiaofeng really wanted to get angry, but she held it back: "Xiao Xue, we have been good sisters since we were young, always very close. I don’t know where you heard those things, but you have such deep misunderstandings about me.

But I really haven’t done anything against you. This accusation you mentioned, it really wasn’t me, I swear."

Seeing Hai Xue looking at her without saying a word, Gui Xiaofeng raised her hand and swore: "I, Gui Xiaofeng, swear here, if I reported Hai Xue’s overseas connections, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Seeing Gui Xiaofeng really swore such a vicious oath, Hai Xue’s expression softened a bit: Maybe it really wasn’t her who reported it. But she still looked at Gui Xiaofeng without speaking.

"Xiao Xue, even if I said something wrong back then, it was a slip of the tongue, it was unintentional. Coming from Hai Village, it’s just us two sisters. In my heart, I not only have a sense of fellowship with you, but more importantly, I remember all the little things from our childhood, and I cherish the time we shared as friends.

So, Xiao Xue, even if I did something wrong to you in the past, can you be the bigger person and forgive me? Let bygones be bygones, and we can still be good sisters, okay?

Can you just step aside, let me in, put down the gifts, and properly wish you and General Gu a Happy New Year, okay?"

"No!"

Hai Xue remained expressionless: "I’m not an adult, so I don’t have to be generous. Even if you didn’t report me, the suffering I endured for over ten years was because you took away my discharge certificate. You now want me to forgive you with a simple ’be the bigger person’? Impossible!

So, we are no longer friends, much less good sisters. Take your things and leave. Goodbye, no, we best not see each other again!

No, wait, first return my discharge certificate to me! Then you can leave."

Gui Xiaofeng was about to go crazy. She had lowered herself so much to plead, why had Hai Xue, who was so easy to talk to before, become so difficult?

During the New Year, who drives away guests who come to offer New Year’s greetings?

Yet in Hai Xue’s heart, it seemed strange. Gui Xiaofeng’s husband is now a high official, and she herself is a division-level cadre, already a notable figure among women.

Why would she lower herself to come offer New Year’s greetings?

"You should leave, we don’t need your New Year greetings."

When had Gui Xiaofeng ever been treated like this?

But today, she had a reason to come to the Gu Family for New Year’s greetings — she wanted to meet the Gu Family’s prospective daughter-in-law, Eldest Miss Nan, Nan Mengyu.

Though her husband held a high position, he hadn’t been having a good time lately. For some reason, some things he had done in the past were being uncovered. Although they were minor things, still controllable, though he reacted quickly, erased evidence, and relied on his power to suppress the matters.

However, he always felt uneasy, not knowing who was messing with him. Moreover, for some reason, he felt there were three factions investigating him!

With his innate sensitivity, her husband had always managed to dodge both hidden and open attacks, successfully climbing up to a high position again and again.

But in this process, naturally there were some dirty dealings behind him, some actions that offended morals and the law. Furthermore, officials travel thousands of miles for money, and over the years, he had amassed considerable wealth.

And now all of this had become a stumbling block for him, likely to trip him at any moment. Besides, the forces he previously relied on seemed to intentionally or unintentionally distance themselves from him, making him feel as if doomsday was approaching.
