Xu Weilai maintained her silence.
Zuo Si tilted her head and observed Xu Weilai’s expression. The curve of her smirk deepened. “It looks like your reunion was not as you’ve imagined.”
She did not bother to hide the mockery in her eyes. “Your relationship with Gu Yu isn’t that good either.”
Her mockery was like a revenge to Xu Weilai’s teasing in the car earlier.
Xu Weilai acted as if she didn’t hear her mockery and said calmly, “Since Gu Yu has regained his consciousness, his wound should recover soon. But his body seems very weak, Zuo An should be the cause for that. What is the exact situation of his body right now?”
Zuo Si raised her eyebrows at Xu Weilai’s question. “I didn’t expect Zuo An to let you know about this as well. He cares about you then.”
Zuo Si’s statement regarding Zuo An did not change Xu Weilai’s expression. Her only attention was on the answer to her question. “Answer me.”
Zuo Si disregarded her insolence and told her the truth, “You saw it with your own eyes how weak he was. I still haven’t found out what Zuo An did to Gu Yu. The poison in his body had been accumulating for years. After Grandpa Gu went into a coma, Gu Yu came abroad to meet me. He fainted out of a sudden during our meeting. That was when we found out something was wrong with his body.”
“He told me later on that Zuo An might have been poisoning him during his treatment from the car accident years ago. You were taking care of him during that period. You should know that he was taking a lot of injections and medicines and was on specific diets. All of them presented an opportunity for Zuo An to poison him. His scheme probably had already started then.”
It actually started way back…
Even though Zuo An admitted on his scheme against Gu family, she didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.
The car accident was three years ago. Four years to be exact as of now. He was only in his early twenties. They were just university students if they were born into an ordinary family.
Zuo Si seemed to have seen through Xu Weilai’s tension over the truth. She snickered at her, “Xu Weilai, Zuo An is far more ruthless than you think he is. He may look harmless, but he’s in fact a cold-hearted, merciless scoundrel.”
Although Xu Weilai was no longer interested in Zuo An’s matter, she was still curious over Zuo Si’s hatred towards Zuo An. Zuo Si never hid her disgust and disdain towards him every time his name came up.
She could gain more understanding towards Zuo family if she understood the grudge between the Zuo family siblings.
Xu Weilai pretended to ask casually, “Why do you hate Zuo An so much? I know you’re of a different mother, but at least you shared the same father. You’re half-sibling and still related by blood. You wouldn’t want each other dead even though you don’t get along well due to power struggles, right?”
“Besides, Zuo An has always been very gentle to you.”
Zuo An had always tolerated Zuo Si, no matter what she did to provoke and scolded him. The only time he lost his temper towards Zuo Si was because of her.
“What? Zuo An told you how he harmed Gu Yu, but never told you what he did to me?”
Zuo Si sneered, “But well, he wouldn’t dare to tell you. Perhaps he was afraid he would ruin his image as a gentleman in front of you. Let me tell you then.”
“Father brought him back to Zuo Residence after his mother passed away. He pretended to be meek and acted pitifully weak. He even followed me around and called me his elder sister. He was extremely pleasing at that point in time.”
