Chapter 180: She Got What She Wanted??

Wang Ma smiled and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Gu Mianmian's eyes could barely conceal her excitement—she knew it was about to succeed…

Gu Mianmian hid her agitation. After the meal, she suggested going to soak in the hot springs.

However, the hot spring pools weren't that large—each room had one in the back, so they had to split up.

She immediately said, "Brothers, you all go to the men's pool. Sister and I will go with Mom to the women's pool."

That posed no problem, so the young masters of the Gu Family and their father all headed toward another hot spring pool.

Gu Mianmian couldn't wait and asked Gu Wenyan, "Sister, did you bring a swimsuit?"

"I did."

"Then hurry up and go… Mom, I don't think I brought a swimsuit. Can I go find one of yours to wear?"

"Go ahead."

"Come upstairs with me! Sister, you go to the hot spring pool first and wait for us."

"Mm."

Gu Wenyan realized… what Gu Mianmian was doing seemed a little different from what she had imagined.

She had previously assumed their plan was to wait until late at night when everyone was asleep. But at that time… although the operation might well succeed, if it failed, the risk would be very high. So now they were going to…

After pulling Ye Yiwen upstairs, Gu Mianmian deliberately rummaged through her suitcase for some clothes: "Mom, after we get back I'll take you shopping again. I know the latest brands all have great designs, very suited for you…"

Ye Yiwen smiled: "Alright, after we get back you can take me shopping."

"Mm!"

Gu Mianmian tried every means to stall for time. She knew that at this moment, Wang Ma was already in action. Once Gu Wenyan stepped into the hot spring pool, the sleeping pills in the soup she had just drunk would take effect.

And Wang Ma would take advantage of the moment the sleeping pills kicked in to hold Gu Wenyan's head under the hot spring pool, staging the illusion that she had drowned in it…

Gu Mianmian knew her parents definitely wouldn't suspect anything. Even if a few of her brothers grew suspicious, she had already prepared a fake medical record for Gu Wenyan in advance, making everyone believe Gu Wenyan had also seen a doctor for psychological issues.

Because she was about to get married, the mental stress was high, so she had asked a doctor to prescribe some sleeping pills.

In short, it had nothing whatsoever to do with Gu Mianmian.

Gu Mianmian was thrilled. Gu Wenyan… the person she hated most in this world, was about to disappear!

Gu Wenyan could no longer pose any threat to her. She would be the only Gu Family Daughter in this world!

All the trouble Gu Wenyan had caused in the past would vanish completely… As long as Gu Wenyan was no longer in this world, she would have countless ways to make her brothers focus their attention on her again!

Gu Mianmian thought, she would definitely make them dote on her again… and when that time came…

"Mom, help me check if I've got a pimple on my back. Why is it so itchy?"

Gu Mianmian calculated the time shouldn't have arrived yet—Wang Ma hadn't sent a message—so she needed to stall a while longer.

Once Wang Ma succeeded, she would send a message to a phone Gu Mianmian had prepared in advance. Then she could bring her mother downstairs and proceed according to her plan.

Gu Mianmian's smile grew sweeter and happier. She used every excuse she could think of, but… there was still no word from Wang Ma.

Just as Gu Mianmian was starting to get anxious and could no longer keep her mother upstairs, she finally received a message from Wang Ma. m.

Gu Mianmian immediately smiled: "Mom, let's go downstairs! Sister must have been waiting for ages!"

Her heart pounded, trembling ceaselessly in her chest. Wonderful—she had finally gotten rid of Gu Wenyan…

The person she hated most in this world was no longer a threat. From now on, the wealth and glory she desired would all belong to her…

Gu Mianmian quickly composed herself, took her mother's arm, and went downstairs together, heading toward the hot spring pool.

She had already prepared herself—when she saw Gu Wenyan's body later, she must put on an expression of great shock and sorrow…

From a distance, Gu Mianmian saw Gu Wenyan. She was lying back there, looking as if she had stopped breathing.

It worked. Wonderful! Wang Ma had succeeded!

Gu Mianmian's fingers trembled with excitement. After waiting so long, she finally no longer had to bear all the pressure Gu Wenyan had brought her. The person she hated most had vanished from this world, no longer an eyesore, no longer in her way…

Gu Mianmian quickly raised a question: "Sister, what's wrong? Sister…"

Just as she had prepared herself to scream, suddenly… Gu Wenyan opened her eyes.

"What is it?"

Gu Mianmian's pupils dilated, full of astonishment: "You, you just now…"

"What about me just now?"

Her mother asked in confusion: "Wasn't Yan Yan just sleeping there? Mianmian, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Mianmian's face went pale: "N-no, I just felt Sister looked a little scary just now… I thought she…"

"Thought I had drowned in the hot spring pool, but you saw me open my eyes again and were very surprised, weren't you?"

Gu Mianmian stepped back: "How could I? Sister, I just mistakenly thought you…"

"Enough. What are you still pretending for?"

Gu Wenyan stood up from the hot spring pool and brushed back her wet hair: "Gu Mianmian, you really think I don't know about the things you've been doing?"

Ye Yiwen frowned in puzzlement: "What are you talking about, Yan Yan? I don't understand a word of it. ~

"Of course you wouldn't understand, because Gu Mianmian and our dear Wang Ma, whom you trust most, set up a trap to kill me… to drown me in this hot spring pool!"

Gu Wenyan's voice rang out sharply: "That's why Gu Mianmian reacted the way she did just now! However, I didn't let her succeed."

Gu Mianmian hurriedly explained: "No, Sister, I really don't know what you're talking about. You're being so strange…"

"Hmph, still going to keep up the act?"

Saying this, Gu Wenyan walked into a blind spot and dragged out Wang Ma, who had been tied up.

"…Sister, what are you doing? Why did you tie up Wang Ma?"

Even Ye Yiwen truly couldn't understand what Gu Wenyan was doing: "Yan Yan…"

"The soup my mom gave me just now had sleeping pills in it. The evidence has probably been cleaned up by now, but there should still be some sleeping pills in my stomach."

Gu Wenyan had drunk that soup earlier, but right after drinking it, she immediately put a few paper towels in her mouth and spat most of it out.

Some of it had been swallowed into her stomach, which would have some effect, but since it hadn't reached the hot spring pool water, it hadn't accelerated the flow of blood, so by the time Gu Mianmian appeared, she was still in a relatively clear-headed state.

As for Wang Ma, who had just tried to kill her...

Gu Yeting walked out from the side.
