Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Favorite’s Acting Skills! Framing the Little Ancestor!
"Sister Zuzi, I’m sorry, Little Grass Fish shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye earlier, without saying the last words to you. Little Grass Fish can’t go to the Imperial Capital for college with you, boo hoo hoo..."
A dull, loud bang.
As Xi Rubao leapt, the tense expression on Xi Ruzhu’s face finally relaxed.
The dust settled, she had succeeded.
At this moment, she felt not an ounce of fear in having taken another’s life, but rather a slight thrill, as she took a step forward and leaned toward the balcony railing to look down.
Although the garden was pitch-black, she could vaguely make out Xi Rubao’s sprawled body in the bushes, most likely now blood-stained and with shattered bones.
At this moment, she wasn’t afraid of being caught by the surveillance camera, after all, she was about to be the first person to report the "good news" to Mom.
Xi Ruzhu took a deep breath, quickly tousled her hair, and faced the direction of the camera with her face uplifted.
Then, her face a mix of grief, anger, sorrow, and fear, she let out a cry: "Baby! Why did you jump, boo hoo hoo, now that you’re dead, what will I do, sister loved you the most at home, my little Jinli, boo hoo hoo..."
After putting on a show of wailing for a few moments.
She quickly ran out of Xi Rubao’s room.
Headed straight to Gu Qiusha’s bedroom.
She shook Gu Qiusha awake, crying in panic: "Mom, Mom, something happened, Bao jumped off the building!"
Gu Qiusha was still a bit drowsy: "What did you say? Bao encountered something unhappy at school again, playing around, why would she jump?"
"Mom, she was indeed unhappy at school today because Zuzi thought she didn’t do well on her test and went to the bar, scolding her saying ’how dumb are you not to jump’. Bao came home crying, couldn’t think it through and just jumped. Mom, this time it’s real! Bao really jumped, all because of one thing Zuzi said!"
Xi Ruzhu fabricated the story, not distancing herself from Zuzi!
After all, that idiot Xi Rubao jumping was only worthwhile if it was used to kill two birds with one stone.
Even Gu Qiusha’s deepest sleep was thoroughly disturbed.
She didn’t echo Xi Ruzhu’s speculation, she went straight out: "Where?"
"Downstairs..."
The garden lawn.
Xi Rubao lay face up, the back of her head bleeding into a large patch, with her limbs limp, probably because her bones broke upon impact.
Gu Qiusha’s heart trembled violently; seeing her beloved youngest daughter dead before her, she was almost frozen.
Her eyes filled with tears, she couldn’t believe it.
With the last shred of hope, she leaned down, trembling fingers reaching for Xi Rubao’s nostrils... however, the truth hit her again: Xi Rubao had indeed stopped breathing.
"Baby..."
"Mom, don’t be sad, let’s call the police right away." Xi Ruzhu suggested, then tactfully reminded, "Mom, Zuzi caused Bao’s death, if the officers ask, what should we say. I’ve already lost one sister, I can’t lose another, otherwise... should I lie to the officers, pretend not to know that Zuzi cursed Bao?"
Gu Qiusha suddenly looked up, always gentle, her eyes now a little cold and severe: "What are you saying? What does this have to do with lying, why mention Zuzi to the officers for no reason? What does this have to do with Zuzi!"
Xi Ruzhu shrank a little, aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mom, did you forget, Bao never talked about jumping before, but ever since Zuzi came to our home, she started making a fuss about jumping, right? Not to mention Zuzi scolded Bao today, Zuzi is always talking about word spirit, word spirit, feels like she’s been cursing Bao all this time..."
