Chapter 246: The First Grand Secretary (8)

She quickly pulled out the scene from the palace intrigue drama she was watching, and immediately put on a cold face, "Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me? The Gu family is my future husband's family, and I am the future mistress of the Gu family. Why should I talk to someone like you who doesn't even know anything? Next time you talk to me, please introduce yourself first. I've never met you before, and we're not acquainted."

woman:"……"

The concubine couldn't help but chuckle. Wen Wan looked over and realized that the concubine looked much prettier.

The woman's face stiffened. A man walked over and asked, "What does Miss Chen mean by this?"

Wen Wan looked at him and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you in Lin County before. Are you a servant of the Gu family? Gu Lang, how come your servants are so ill-mannered? They don't even know how to bow? Gu Lang is too kind. If this were in my Shen family, their legs would have been broken and they would have been thrown out long ago."

"you--"

“Chengzu, don’t be rude.” Uncle Gu walked over, and he was much more cunning than his son and daughter-in-law. At least he knew how to pretend. “Miss Shen has been disrespectful. I apologize on behalf of my son. I am Gu Sui’s second uncle. This is Gu Sui’s cousin and cousin-in-law. We used to live in Qi County. It’s normal that Miss Shen doesn’t recognize us.”

"Gu Lang's relatives?" Wen Wan looked at Gu Sui in shock. "How come I didn't know the Gu family had any other relatives? I've never seen them before, and I've never heard Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu mention them?"

Gu Sui: "It was only after my parents passed away that I learned I had a second uncle."

Shen Jiao: "Then you weren't scammed, were you? Relatives who haven't visited in decades suddenly appear after your uncle and aunt passed away. How come this is exactly like that fraud case the storyteller told? Are you sure they are your second uncle?"

Uncle Gu: "..."

Cousin Gu: "What do you mean? Are you saying we're lying? Gu Sui, are you just going to let your fiancée be so unreasonable?"

Wen Wan sneered, "I was just thinking normally, how is that unreasonable? Then tell me, if we're relatives, why haven't we come to visit in decades? Don't tell me there's a second uncle or cousin, or maybe there's a Gu Lang's grandmother?"

She tugged at Gu Sui's sleeve and said, "Gu Lang, I've heard a lot of storytellers talk about family conflicts. The reason I'm still willing to marry you, besides liking you, is because my uncle and aunt would never let me suffer. They treat me like their own daughter. Don't tell me I have a future grandmother. I won't stand for that. I'll go crazy."

Gu Sui: "..."

System: [Host, you're awesome.] Unable to hold back a curse, the system realized its host was completely possessed by a drama queen.

"This is nothing yet. Next, watch my performance as an Oscar-winning actress who has run away from her dream."

Uncle Gu's face turned ashen, but Wen Wan continued, "Did they produce any evidence? Uncle and Aunt are gone, and even if it's a grandparent, you can't use blood for kinship testing, that's not allowed. What proof do they have?"

They kept emphasizing: "There's no evidence; they might be scammers."

Uncle Gu's expression darkened further. "Gu Sui, aren't you going to say anything?"

Gu Sui: "I really haven't heard my parents mention that I have a grandmother, a second uncle, or a cousin and his wife. I was just too grief-stricken recently to think about these things. But Ajiao reminded me. Does my second uncle have any evidence?"

Uncle Gu: "..."

Wen Wan laughed inwardly; Gu Sui was actually quite sharp-tongued.

"Second Uncle, right? Where's the evidence?"

At this moment, an old figure stepped out, his face extremely ugly. "Gu Sui, are you going to subject your second uncle to this humiliation? You unfilial descendant, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"

Wen Wan immediately exploded, "Who are you, you old hag? How dare you curse my future husband? Are you really a fraud? Look at your family and my Gu Lang, do you look like a family? You don't look alike at all. You want my Gu Lang to acknowledge your family without any evidence? Dream on."

Grandma Gu almost couldn't catch her breath. "You...you...you're so bold."

"I...I...I'm none of your business. Evidence? If you don't have evidence, get out of here."

Old Mrs. Gu nearly fainted. "Qisheng! What kind of son did you give birth to? What kind of daughter-in-law did you find? She's not even married into the family yet, and she's already making her old mother angry to death. What a misfortune for the Gu family!"

"What do you mean? It's his good fortune to marry Gu Sui. What are you? Your identity is still unknown and you're already howling. If you want to howl, give me the evidence first. I don't want any more relatives of dubious origin."

"Gu Sui! Are you really going to let your wife upset your grandmother like this?"

"Why are you yelling at him? He's my man, who are you? Xiao Lin, go report it to the authorities. Tell them someone trespassed, and it would be best to add fraud to the report as well."

Xiao Lin was the doorman who took the two gold melon seeds. Xiao Lin's eyes widened. "Madam, are you really going to report this to the authorities?"

"Why not report it to the authorities? You can't even provide evidence to prove your identity, and you're trying to lie. Report it to the authorities and let the officials investigate this so-called grandmother or uncle you haven't seen for decades."

Xiao Lin looked at Gu Sui and said, "What are you looking at, Gu Lang? I'll make the decision. Go report to the authorities. Gui Zhi, give them a tip."

Guizhi then took out another golden melon seed and handed it to Xiaolin. Xiaolin grabbed the golden melon seed and ran off to report to the authorities.

Everyone was shocked.

No one expected it would escalate to the point of reporting it to the authorities. The servants gathered around and discussed it, while Old Madam Gu was so angry that she trembled and couldn't say anything, pointing at her.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Go make some tea. When did the Gu family become so ill-mannered?"

Wen Wan pulled Gu Sui into the house, then plopped down in the main seat and looked at Gu Erbo and his group, "Now wait for the government to come. If you have any evidence, submit it to the officials. Don't run away. If you're a fraudster, I will make you pay the price."

Uncle Gu's face was very sour; he could no longer hide his true nature.

"Gu Sui, is this how your father instructed you to insult the mother who raised him?"

Wen Wan: "I said the words, I insulted the person, and I asked for the evidence. It has nothing to do with Gu Lang. Why are you threatening him? He's never even met any of you so-called relatives. Are you trying to morally blackmail him?"

Uncle Gu: "..."

Tea was served quickly. Wen Wan ate jujube cake and drank hot tea while eating, without even asking the Gu family to sit down.

"Actually, you really shouldn't have come to deceive the Gu family. You must have seen that Gu Lang just lost his parents and is all alone. It's understandable that the Gu family's large fortune would attract the covetous eyes of unscrupulous people. But do you think our Shen family is a pushover? The Gu family is related to the Shen family by marriage. If you want to deceive Gu Lang, you have to see if the Shen family agrees."

Gu Sui watched the woman eating jujube cake from beginning to end. He was surprised by all her actions, as if he were seeing her in a new light, which shocked him.

After his parents passed away, Gu Sui experienced countless things and witnessed the vile faces of many people. Everyone wanted him dead and wanted to seize the Gu family's property. These relatives were ruthless and heartless. If he hadn't been careful and learned about their true intentions, they probably would have also given the Gu family away.

Shen Jiao, who wished nothing more than to break off her engagement with him, was the only one who stood in front of him and stood against these people.
