After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 1 Rebirth!

With a "snap" sound, the ruler hit the back hard, leaving a red and swollen mark.

At this time, the boy's hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and his back was burning with pain.

Gu Chi looked dazed for a moment.

He... is reborn?!
The burning pain in his back reminded him that all this was real.

"When have we ever been without your food and drink in this family? You even want to steal our family's money." The woman holding the ruler is Gu Chi's biological mother - Zhao Rui!
Although she is over 50 years old, she has maintained herself well and still looks charming.

Zhao Rui, who was always known for her virtue, now had a ferocious look on her face, and her hand holding the ruler was shaking slightly because of anger.

"Beat him hard. Now he has developed a habit of stealing. What will happen in the future? You are such an uneducated thing." The man gritted his teeth, but still sat on the sofa as steady as a rock, as if he was enjoying a good drama.

And this person is also the authority of the Lu family—Lu Ziming!

He is also Gu Chi’s biological father!
“Dad, have a cup of tea to calm down first…” The young man who poured tea for Lu Ziming was their adopted son—Lu Tianci!

When Gu Chi was lost, the Lu family brought him back from the orphanage as an adopted son.

The moment Lu Ziming saw his adopted son, the anger in his eyes faded away, replaced by endless love.

"Brother Gu Chi, just apologize to our parents." Lu Tianci was wearing a well-fitting suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Although his words were a plea, they were mixed with a hint of gloating, and there was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes.

"Brother, you are just too kind. Why should you plead for him?" The woman who was speaking had delicate makeup on, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes seemed to be on fire.

Lu Ning, the eldest sister of the Lu family, always looks as if nothing has to do with her.

To outsiders, she seems to be a cold beauty, but only Gu Chi knows the indifference in her bones.

"If we don't teach him a lesson today, he will tear down our Lu family in the future. I will teach him a lesson severely." The woman's voice was a little sharp, and she protected the young man who had just spoken behind her.

The woman who protected Lu Tianci was the second sister in the family, Lu Meng, who was decisive and ruthless. She was the general manager of Lu Group and also a capable assistant to Lu Ziming.

There is a third sister in the family, but she is still studying abroad, and Gu Chi has not seen her since he came back.

The familiar scene in front of him reminded Gu Chi that the money in Zhao Rui's room had been taken away.

They didn't even need to verify it, they all 'wishfully' believed that he was the one who took it.

Even though it was finally proved that the money was taken by their adopted son Lu Tianci, Gu Chi and the others did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Even the so-called father Lu Ziming acted like a patriarch, saying, "If there is something wrong, correct it; if there is nothing wrong, try to improve it!"

He turned around and doubled Lu Tianci's pocket money.

In order to recognize him, the Lu couple held a grand ceremony to recognize him, which even made the front page headlines.

Lu's stock price also continued to rise, and outsiders thought that Gu Chi was living a pampered life in this family.

But only he himself knew that here, his status was not even as good as the dog raised by Lu Tianci.

In the previous life, it was because Lu Tianci’s dog ran away.

Zhao Rui felt sorry for her adopted son and forced Gu Chi to go out in the heavy rain to look for the dog.

Gu Chi was killed on the spot after encountering a drunk driver, and the driver fled the scene after the accident.

When Gu Chi fell in the heavy rain, Lu Tianci was playing games on the bed, enjoying the warm breeze, and the dog that had run away was lying beside his bed.

Upon learning the news of Gu Chi's death, Lu Tianci cried his eyes red with his superb acting skills.

Zhao Rui hugged him distressedly and comforted him softly, "Tianci, luckily it wasn't you who left."

Gu Chi's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. Zhao Rui behind him had already stopped using the ruler in her hand. "Aunt Wu, apply some medicine to Master Gu Chi." Looking at the bloody back, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

But Lu Ziming, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the teacup in his hand heavily.

"What medicine are you taking? Go to the confinement room. You are not allowed to eat tonight. You are so uneducated." Lu Ziming has always had supreme power in the family, and naturally no one dares to disobey his words.

Since he came back here, Lu Ziming always called him "uneducated."

What they wanted was a son as outstanding as Lu Tianci, but they had never thought about it.

Lu Tianci has lived with them since he was a child, and they have provided him with top resources to train him.

But Gu Chi had to live with his adoptive parents since he was a child. His adoptive father was an alcoholic and would beat him when he was drunk.

I thought he would feel better if he returned to his biological parents, but when he really came back, he realized that his adoptive father's punches were nothing but child's play in front of them.

Gu Chi numbly got up, put on a white shirt, and blood seeped out instantly.

Staggering towards the basement.

The Lu family was a little surprised at Gu Chi's silence.

If it were in the past, Gu Chi would definitely scream hysterically "It's not him", but today he said nothing.

"Hey, Tianci has pleaded for you, thank him!" Lu Meng's commanding voice sounded from behind.

Gu Chi clenched his hands tightly at his sides, his knuckles turning slightly white, and slowly turned around.

"Second sister, that's not necessary. Brother Gu Chi's adoptive mother passed away, and she must have used this money to arrange for her funeral." Lu Tianci's words were like a knife stabbing into Gu Chi's heart.

After his adoptive mother passed away, the Lu family had originally agreed to let him return.

But just the day before, Lu Tianci once again framed him, saying that he was a cat abuser and even threw a bruised kitten in front of everyone.

No matter how Gu Chi explained, they just wouldn't listen.

He was put in solitary confinement for three days, and he didn't show up until after his adoptive mother's funeral.

Lu Tianci knew clearly that this was the most regrettable thing in his life, but now he said it so calmly.

After trying to endure again and again, Gu Chi still couldn't hold it in.

He clenched his fist and punched Lu Tianci's face.

The Lu family didn't expect that someone who was usually quiet and taciturn would actually resist.

"God-given..."

"younger brother!"

Suddenly, the magnificent hall was in chaos.

Gu Chi shook his numb hands, raised a faint smile, and walked towards the confinement room.

The Lu family members reacted and wanted to settle the score with Gu Chi, but they found that the door of the confinement room had already been locked by him.

"You uneducated thing, if you have the guts, stay in there and don't come out. If you come out, I will kill you!"

Gu Chi lay on the "bed" made of cardboard boxes, not caring at all how Lu Ziming was shouting outside.

He couldn't stay in this 'home' any longer.
