Chapter 28: Debts to be Repaid
When she returned home to her family that night, Gu Jin confessed to her mother, Li Mingxia about the loss of her jade bracelet .
Li Mingxia understood the situation and did not blame her . Instead, she chastised Gu Jin for not telling the family immediately after it happened .
Although the heirloom left by her mother was lost, her daughter’s safety was more important .
Ensuring her child’s well-being was what gave this mother peace of mind .
However, for the current Gu Jin, Li Mingxia’s comforting words made her feel even more guilty .
Knowing that she had taken over the true daughter’s body while also losing the Gu family’s heirloom gave her a heavy conscience .
Despite carrying these sins, the present Gu Jin returned to this home .
Before she could even repay the former host for receiving this physical body, she had lost the heirloom and had become a greater sinner . Gu Jin was angry with herself, but she did not lose her mind .
Gu Jin said with a false smile: “Mr . Mu’s bracelet looks familiar, where did it come from?”
Mu Mingcheng glanced at her, his whole body conveying a sense of solitude . He did not answer Gu Jin’s question and lazily called, “Miss Gu Jin?”
He investigated her!
But with his wealth, it wasn’t impossible for him to find out her name .
Gu Jin’s eyes flashed slyly as she said with a smile, “Mr . Mu, who would have thought a day would come where you would remember the name of a mere etiquette lady . ” She played with her ID card that hung on her neck .
Mu Mingcheng’s eyes glinted dangerously and his lips raised to a smile . He said meaningfully, “Miss Gu is quite agile, how could I easily forget you?”
This sc.u.m!
Gu Jin mentally spat at him but didn’t let it show on the surface . She said politely, “Mr . Mu, it doesn’t matter . I have a jade bracelet that looks just like yours . I wonder if I can borrow it?”

Of course, knowing his true nature, Gu Jin did not expect him to agree, and they both knew it .
“You can . ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Mingcheng readily agreed . He straightened up and held out his palm to reveal the bracelet .
Gu Jin hesitated for a moment as she waited for him hand it to her . However, unable to bear the psychological pressure any longer, she preferred offending this pervert by s.n.a.t.c.hing the jewelry out of his hands .
Gu Jin quickly reached for the bracelet .
But the moment she touched the jewelry, Mu Mingcheng pulled his hand away and swiftly brought it to Gu Jin’s waist . He clamped her arm in his other hand, buried his head by her neck and whispered with a low voice: “Has Miss Gu forgotten what she has done?”
His voice became softer, as if he was speaking to a lover . Mu Mingcheng whispered in her ear, “I am a vengeful man . The mark left by Miss Gu’s high heels on that day was not light . ”
“Don’t forget Mr . Mu, you attacked me first . ” Gu Jin said coldly .
“Don’t forget Mr . Mu, you attacked me first . ” Gu Jin said coldly .
She could feel his body heat through his thin s.h.i.+rt .
Gu Jin struggled within his embrace . After she had removed her makeup, her face appeared more fair and tender; the blush on her cheeks was more apparent and her eyes were slightly teary .
This is crazy!
Gu Jin lifted her foot then stamped down quickly .
This time, she did not succeed .
Do you think I’d fall for the same trick twice? Mu Mingcheng expected her retaliation and quickly evaded the attack .
He pinned Gu Jin to the wall and clamped her legs with his knees so she couldn’t move .
Unlike Gu Jin’s outrage, Mu Mingcheng inhaled the sweet scent of this long-lost girl .
He was excited to see a cat with its claws out .

Gu Jin turned her head in disgust and looked away .
All of a sudden, a wave of pain overcame her lower abdomen and her legs trembled with weakness .
This sharp pain hit Gu Jin like thunder, causing her strength to ebb away .
Sh*t!
