Ji Mo Yan said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Come pick me up!"

Gu Qingyu's lips twitched twice: "You mean you want me to wait for you outside?"

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘Don’t say it if you see through something.’” Ji Moyan put away her phone and rolled her eyes at him: “It’s because you’ve been showing your face in front of the media too much. There are several know-it-alls on the Qingkong Forum. If they come here and recognize you, everyone will feel uncomfortable.”

Gu Qingyu sighed: "I'm retiring."

Ji Moyan scoffed, "They've touted him as a godfather-level tycoon in the business world. If they all ask you questions, wouldn't that just turn into a business negotiation? How boring."

Gu Qingyu looked helpless: "..." What do you mean by being blown up into a big shot?

"I'm going to the study."

Gu Qingyu was too lazy to argue with his wife; in the end, he would definitely be the one to lose. It wasn't that he couldn't win the argument, but rather that she was being unreasonable.

Only Ji Moyan and Gu Yilou remained in the living room.

Just as Gu Yilou was about to get up.

Ji Moyan looked at him and said, "Boss, you're not allowed to go."

This time, Gu Yilou did not listen to her.

"Mom, the Jiang family keeps coming over. They're obviously not afraid that the Gu family will make things difficult for them. Are we supposed to stay home every time they come?"

He was thoroughly fed up with the Jiang family.

If they remain obstinate, he wouldn't hesitate to use cruel methods to pack them up and send them abroad, never to be able to return home!

Ji Moyan's eyes flickered, and she advised, "Let your father handle the problems left behind by your grandfather. You'd be better off spending more time with Xiaobao. It's almost noon, why don't you go and take him out for lunch now?"

Gu Yilou remained silent.

Ji Moyan looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Boss, can't I get you to come anymore?"

"No. Mom, I'm sorry, I've caused you and Dad trouble again." Gu Yilou felt ashamed.

He is the eldest son of the Gu family, and now that he has a son, he still has to worry his parents.

Ji Moyan smiled and said, "If we're talking about trouble, none of your three younger brothers are easy to deal with. When have your father and I ever complained? If we thought they were troublesome, we wouldn't have had you in the first place."

Eldest son, family is family. Whether you're married or not, we're all connected by blood, a loving family.

Gu Yilou thought to himself: Didn't you want a daughter, which is why you had two more children?

However, he couldn't say this out loud, otherwise his mother would definitely turn on him.

"Okay, I'm going to pick up Xiaobao for dinner."

Gu Yilou got up and left.

After seeing him off, Ji Moyan's smile gradually faded.

She thought: The New Year is coming soon, and it's time to let the children know some old stories.

???

On the way to the shopping street.

Shangguan Wu received a call from Shangguan Xinyi. She originally didn't intend to answer it, but she wanted to confirm something, so she answered.

Shangguan Xinyi's angry voice pierced through the phone: "Shangguan Wu! You finally answered my call. I thought you would hide from me forever..."

Shangguan Wu interrupted her coldly: "So you're so shameless, you've just plastered your own skin on layer by layer!"

"How dare you insult me? You bitch..."

Shangguan Wu interrupted again: "If you keep talking nonsense, then I'm hanging up."

On the other end of the phone, Shangguan Xinyi was breathing heavily with anger, her eyes filled with resentment. She held back and asked, "Shangguan Wu, my mother has been taken away by the police. Did you do something to me that made me say those things? I've already stopped bothering you, so why won't you let me go?"

"hehe."

Shangguan Wu chuckled and said sarcastically, "Shangguan Xinyi, use your pig brain to think about this. Have I ever spoken to you alone? Do you think you would say those things if I asked you to? You said those things yourself, so you personally sent your mother to jail. It has nothing to do with me. You've got the wrong person."

Shangguan Xinyi: "..."

"But Mom didn't hire someone to kill you, she really didn't!"

Shangguan Wu's light, casual tone carried a hint of amusement: "I believe the police won't let a bad guy go unpunished, nor will they arrest the wrong person. But this is false accusation, isn't it? Once the investigation is complete, you'll be the one going to jail!"

You're lying!

"According to Article 243 of the law, the crime of false accusation and framing refers to the act of fabricating facts, making false accusations, and framing others to be criminally prosecuted. It is generally punishable by imprisonment of up to three years. In addition, if the consequences are serious, the punishment is imprisonment of three to ten years. How many years do you think you will go to jail?"

As Shangguan Wu spoke, he kept glancing at Gu Yunzhen's phone screen, which displayed the information found on Baidu.

Shangguan Xinyi panicked on the other end of the phone. She wanted to save her mother, but she didn't want to go to jail.

"Shangguan Wu, go to the police station and explain. If you tell them that my mother didn't send someone to kill you, my mother won't go to jail. Consider it a favor I owe you."

"Are you dreaming? You're asking me for help?"

Shangguan Wu rolled her eyes speechlessly, a sly glint in her watery eyes, and reminded her, "Instead of wasting your time here, why don't you ask your dad and brother for help? With the Yu family's status in the capital, they might be able to rescue your mother."

Reminded by her, Shangguan Xinyi realized that she could ask her biological father and older brother for help, and immediately hung up the phone.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Gu Yunzhen raised her hand and gently flicked the tip of her nose: "You naughty girl."

Shangguan Wu leaned forward, put a hand on his shoulder, and breathed softly into his ear: "Really? But some people say that men don't love women who aren't a little bad."

Gu Yunzhen's temples throbbed, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Who told you that?"

Shangguan Wu was stunned for a moment. When she thought of how her second sister had said those words in her previous life, there was no trace of nonchalance in her eyes. She suddenly looked back and looked out the car window.

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Gu Yunzhen knew she was changing the subject, but didn't expose her. Instead, she asked cooperatively, "How much longer until the 11th?"

Gu Shiyi replied, "Fourth Young Master, there's been an accident on the nearest road. We're taking a detour to the commercial street now, and we'll be there in about twenty minutes."

Shangguan Wu looked at him in surprise: "What happened?"

Du Wei, in the passenger seat, replied, "Meng Wu said that three foreigners stopped President Qin's car."

"How did Meng Wu know? Who would stop my cousin's car?"

Just as Shangguan Wu finished speaking, his phone rang.

She looked down and saw that the caller ID showed it was her older cousin.

Shangguan Wu looked up at Gu Yunzhen before answering the phone.

"Cousin, do you have time now?"

"have."

"I need your help with something. Could you please come to the Qin Group?"

"Okay, I'll come find you now." Something that makes my older cousin ask for help must be quite significant.

After Shangguan Wu finished speaking seriously, the call ended. She said to Gu Shiyi, "Shiyi, go to Qin's Group immediately."

The next second, she grabbed Gu Yunzhen's hand and said, "Honey, can we go shopping another day?"
