After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 240 Gu Yan and Gu Xing Dissolve Their Kinship

"What do I hate?" Gu Yan laughed as she spoke, but her laughter was tinged with slyness and helplessness.

“I hate these rich people who call themselves philanthropists. They donate money saying it's to help the poor, but what do they give them? They don't even have enough to buy new clothes.”

Gu Yan swept the fallen leaves in front of the door barefoot, the pebble path adding wounds to her feet, her blood staining the crimson leaves.

“I hate Shen Qingyue. Why is she born a rich heiress who can do whatever she wants without her family interfering? And me... why was I born to inherit the family business and take care of the family? I never wanted any of these things in the first place…”

"Why shouldn't I be the one who gets loved..."

"I hate Shen Chaohuai so much. Why can he come back to life even though he's clearly dead..."

Su Qi's pupils widened suddenly; he hadn't expected Gu Yan to know so much.

[Master, this NPC probably can't be allowed to live...]

Gu Yan looked at her: "The people I hate the most are you and my cousin and her husband."

She frowned slightly.

"When I first joined the Shen family, I had already received an invitation from a talent agency. You said you wanted to go too, but the Shen family doesn't approve of their children entering the entertainment industry. How could they possibly send several out at once?"

“I told my cousin that I wasn’t going and that I would give the spot to her.”

"Heh..." Gu Yan chuckled.

"I didn't expect that Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua would actually agree. They thought that since she was an adopted daughter, it would be easier to sever ties with the Shen family if something happened in the future."

"Oh, I forgot you didn't know these things, because we didn't know where you were back then."

"Don't think I don't know. Su Qi is dead. I've confirmed it myself. From the first day you appeared, I knew something was wrong with you."

After hearing this, Su Qi laughed and said, "You win. I am indeed not as skillful as you. I couldn't see through your two-faced nature."

"Didn't you want to know why I sent my cousin back?"

"The Shen family took me in back then only to maintain their reputation for charity."

“I hate them. No matter how good they are to me or how many benefits they give me, I will not repay them because it is not out of sincerity, but out of charity.”

"I also hate... I hate my brother."

Su Qi suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Gu Xing didn't do anything to you."

"No, he didn't do anything to me. The problem is that he was born after me, so the burden of the family fell on my shoulders."

"He was fine, he later went out partying with several rich women and often didn't come home, while I was trying to win over Zheng Ran and deal with my relationship with him."

Su Qi could no longer contain herself: "What has Gu Xing been through? Do you, as her older sister, really know nothing about it?"

Gu Yan's lips trembled: "So what? Compared to what we women go through, men don't get pregnant..."

"Men always benefit. Didn't my brother later get into the entertainment industry with the help of those women?"

Standing by the window, Gu Xing heard Gu Yan's words and his eyes reddened, tears streaming down his face.

"What a madman." Su Qi couldn't understand it anymore, and put her hands on her hips, intending to leave.

Gu Yan screamed at her from behind, her voice filled with anguish: "I hate you even more! Why is it that you can get everything you want just by working hard, while everything I do is in vain?"

"Why... you were clearly my substitute, yet he humbled himself in the end for your sake!"

Su Qi's lips moved slightly: "Because you have wicked intentions."

After returning home, Su Qi buried herself under the covers.

[This is eye-opening! Feifei has never seen an NPC awaken to this extent before. We can't let them live!!]

Su Qi suddenly realized something; she knew that her and Shen Chaohuai's identities were indeed a potential threat.

"To eliminate her? I'm afraid you're not capable enough."

[Actually, the owner could revert the timeline to prevent her from appearing, but this would create a chain reaction. Her status, which was initially elevated because the owner resolved the problems she caused, would decline due to the lack of a suitable vessel.]

"Then there's no need..."

“I want to talk to her, preferably to discuss terms, because I want to know what she really wants.”

[Using a bargaining chip to silence them doesn't eliminate the underlying problem.]

“If she insists on not doing so, I don’t mind using unconventional methods.”

……

Gu family.

Gu Yan entered the room, while Gu Xing stood at the door.

"Sister, do you really think so? Do you think the suffering I've endured is nothing?"

Gu Yan asked knowingly, "Did you hear everything?"

"Xiao Xing, we share the same father and mother, but unfortunately you are completely different from me."

"You're too soft-hearted. If you had pulled Su Qi down earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems later, and the two of us could have lived a carefree life."

"By the way, does your younger brother really want his older sister's inheritance?"

"I'll return all the assets that the Gu family took back to you. Please don't hold a grudge against your sister, okay?"

Gu Xing gritted his teeth, trying hard to control his emotions. He never expected that the only relative he had relied on for so many years would think of him this way.

"I don't want property, I don't want anything, I just want you."

"Sister, can you please stop doing those things and focus on managing the family business? Wouldn't it be better if we could just live a peaceful life?"

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow: "If I hadn't done all this, where would our current glory come from? Do you think we could have easily taken it back from Zheng Ran?"

"Little brother, you're thinking too simply."

"Listen to me, don't associate with Su Qi anymore. She'll only leech off you. She'll never truly love you. To her, you're just a plaything that's dispensable."

"Of course, if you want to hook up with her, then never mind. Anyway, you're a man, so you're the only one who'll benefit..."

Gu Xing felt utterly devastated upon hearing this: "She wouldn't, only you, you would think that way..."

“Let’s… sever our kinship. From now on, I’m not a burden to you, and I won’t call you sister anymore.”

Gu Yan smiled, her brows furrowing slightly: "We've finally waited for this day."

Gu Xing didn't understand what she was expecting, and suddenly sneered.

Gu Xing produced a severance agreement, in which he voluntarily relinquished his inheritance rights to a portion of the Gu family's assets.

Gu Yan stared at the large characters above, somewhat lost in thought.

"I'm really tired..."

"If I had another chance to be reborn like her, I would rather be a cat or a dog."

Although their lifespan was short, they lived a leisurely and carefree life.

Gu Xing stormed out the door, and Gu Yan didn't go to see him.

Gu Xing had just stepped out when he encountered Su Qi, who had returned to find Gu Yan.

Su Qi looked at him and teased, "Why are you crying? Tsk, you look so pitiful."

Gu Xing pursed his lips: "I... severed my kinship with her."

Su Qi paused: "Why? It can't be because we've gotten too close, can it?"

Gu Xing shook his head, looked at her, and hesitated, "I heard her talking about me... I can't accept it. My sister is my closest relative..."

Su Qi sighed slightly, then suddenly heard the sound of something falling from the Gu family's old house.

"Miss Gu!"

"Why did Miss jump down?!"
