"The lucky girl has turned into an unlucky girl. She and that idiot Xu Luoxue wanted to cause trouble for us siblings and grandparents, but they got all the retribution. Shi Zhenxiang, you and Gu Qiulin caused our family to be separated. You colluded with the five families this afternoon to frame us and seize power. Cherish the good times you have left!"

“Your second branch and Gu Qiulin are doomed to fail, and I, Gu Wanwan, will be your nightmare. Why did the Jian family fall? It was all my doing. I was the one who reported you and Gu Qiulin to the special department. I will make you pay a heavy price, or we will never be able to quell our hatred.”

"I am no longer the weak and incompetent trash Gu Wanwan I used to be. I am very powerful now and I am not afraid of you joining forces to deal with me. You'd better not mess with me."

She readily admitted it, completely humiliating Shi Zhenxiang.

Shi Zhenxiang's face turned pale and then red. "I am your second aunt!"

Gu Peichuan scoffed, "If we acknowledge you, then you are our second aunt. If we don't, then you are nothing but trash. Besides, some people keep saying that he is your biological son, but in reality, Gu Huaien is not our grandparents' biological son. Our grandparents took pity on him and adopted him into the Gu family."

“We knew about it when we were very young. No way, didn’t Gu Huaien’s adopted son tell you? I think Gu Yarou knew about Gu Huaien’s identity a long time ago.”

Sheng Chuxuan and her brother Sheng Qing chimed in, "This is not a big secret in the eyes of the other members of our Upper Five Families. We just didn't bring it up in person because we were concerned about the second branch of the Gu family and worried that they would feel inferior."

"I never thought that adopted sons would be such ungrateful wretches. They talk about upholding justice and turning against their own family, but it's really just a power grab. After Gu Huaien's incident, the five great families discussed that they can't adopt people casually anymore, because adoption is risky. Who can guarantee that there won't be another ungrateful Gu Huaien?"

Shi Zhenxiang retorted in astonishment, "You're talking nonsense! My husband is a legitimate member of the Gu family bloodline. He's not some adopted son. You're trying to seize power and are deliberately slandering our second branch..."

Gu Peichuan scoffed, "Do you dare to go to a special department for a paternity test? An adopted son is an adopted son, what's wrong with admitting it? I didn't hold it against you before because of your grandparents, but you took advantage of me. What, are you afraid that your adopted status will get out and people will say that Gu Huaien's status is illegitimate and that he has usurped the place?"

"Not only you, but also that ingrate Gu Qiulin. She's even more despicable than your second wife, and her fate is quite similar to that of the Pei family!"

The onlookers genuinely felt that the trip was well worth it. "There were rumors before that the second branch of the Gu family wasn't their biological child, and now the Gu siblings and other members of the top five families have confirmed it."

"The rumors are true. No wonder Gu Huaien is so heartless. It turns out they're not his biological parents, so there's no need for him to care about the old couple's life or death. We really can't just take pity on people and adopt them. You never know if you'll end up with an ungrateful wretch who will take over your place and seize power!"

"Gu Qiulin usually acts so pretentious, relying on the Gu family to show off and looking down on everyone. Now everyone knows she's a fake Gu family daughter, so who will still fawn over her in the future?"

Gu Wanwan looked at the Du and Pei families as if they were idiots. "We originally intended to let your Du family go, but you had to bring in our enemy. Is this to help us? It's to help your Du family plunge into the abyss of hell!"
