Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
Zhou Jiao turned around and left, and she didn't see Old Lady Hu looking at her back, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no way. Ever since her granddaughter-in-law Lin Xuelin revealed some things about the Zhou family, Old Mrs. Hu was most afraid of meeting the Zhou family.
After seeing so much of the filthiness of big families, how did the Gu family fall?
Old Lady Hu suspected that the Zhou family was behind this. As a small figure, she was as easy to kill as an ant for them. She was really afraid of being implicated.
Especially just now, she really thought she had seen Miss Gu. That smile on her lips was so similar! The same irony, the same unattainable feeling, and the same understanding in her eyes.
She finally understood why the young lady wanted to commit suicide. For someone like that to exist, it would be best if she died and was reborn sooner rather than later!
"Jiaojiao, be careful."
Old Mrs. Hu looked at the man at the gate, who should be the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and carefully reminded his wife beside him to pay attention to the steps. He always stood aside to separate outsiders and avoid bumping into his wife.
——Yes! They are so similar!
Back then, Master Yu also treated Miss Gu like a treasure!
"A match made in heaven."
The daughter-in-law beside her couldn't hear her mother-in-law's words clearly, so she supported her and whispered, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Old Mrs. Hu was shocked, raised her back, relaxed, and patted her daughter-in-law's hand, "It's nothing, let's go back first!"
Zhang Guoqing noticed someone looking at him, turned his head and looked at Old Lady Hu, gave her a meaningful smile, and left with Zhou Jiao. He was not mistaken about this Old Lady Hu!
It's a small world, I wonder if her good grandson can handle it in the Northwest? Well, his head is covered with green grassland, which is a cause for celebration!
That bitch!
Zhang Guoqing couldn't help laughing and crying when he thought about the intelligence he'd received. Just this brainless bastard had nearly killed his wife, forcing Lin Aiguo to flee outside the capital. He really couldn't underestimate anyone! He wondered if the Lin family would sever ties first or save her life first after the explosive news from the Northwest reached the capital.
Syphilis, that's a good disease! It's a pity that we haven't heard of the word "AIDS" yet, otherwise it would be even more exciting. Just thinking about it makes Zhang Guoqing laugh heartily.
He had promised Zhou Jiao not to dirty his hands, but he hadn't promised not to seek revenge! Since God hadn't intervened in the past few years, he might as well take over.
From finding the target to getting that bastard to have sex, it took a lot of effort. Actually, this was a way of repaying Old Master Lin. Otherwise, with a granddaughter who had fled and betrayed her country, the Lin family would have been completely utterly destroyed!
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor." Zhang Guoqing never involves irrelevant people, but is it possible to let his enemy escape from his control and let her live a colorful life?
Old Mrs. Hu was so frightened by Zhang Guoqing's smile that she covered her chest. As expected... As expected, the Zhou family knew my background! The protagonists were all dead, so wasn't it time for me, a minor supporting role, to take over?
But apart from those gossips, she really didn't know what happened between the two families back then. How could the man tell her about these things?
Seeing Zhou Jiao and her husband about to leave, Old Lady Hu quickly shook off her daughter-in-law's hand and ran forward in small steps, "Wait, wait a moment, I have something to say."
The noise in the department store was unusually loud. If Zhang Guoqing hadn't had exceptional hearing, he might have ignored it. Upon hearing this, he lowered his head and said, "That old maid is calling us."
Zhou Jiao couldn't help but chuckle and glanced at him. How could he say that? What old maid? He wasn't afraid of the bad influence from outsiders hearing it.
Old Mrs. Hu stood in front of them, panting, and took a few breaths. "Let's find a place to talk."
Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao exchanged a glance, didn't refuse, nodded, and led Old Lady Hu and her daughter-in-law to a nearby small park. It wasn't late at night, and no one was out enjoying the cool air, so it was a good place to talk.
Old Mrs. Hu winked at her daughter-in-law, who, despite her age, was very obedient and went to watch from a distance.
Zhou Jiao narrowed her eyes. It seemed this old woman was quite capable. She'd heard she'd never revealed her hidden stash of money until now. She was definitely smarter than Gu Ruyi! No wonder she'd been able to seduce two generations of the Gu family's fourth branch.
After Old Lady Hu sat down on the stone bench, she saw Zhou Jiao and her husband quietly waiting for her to speak. She smiled awkwardly and said, "You look very much like your own grandmother. I've heard people say that before, but I didn't believe it. Now I've finally seen it with my own eyes, and it's true."
Zhou Jiao had heard this from many people before, and she could tell from the shocked expressions on their faces how similar it was. She could tell from the reactions of those elderly men and women abroad. She wasn't interested in hearing nonsense!
Zhang Guoqing reminded her from the side: "Old lady, we have something else to do."
"Oh, fine, I'll be able to explain it quickly. Just now, it seemed like you guys misunderstood something, so I'll say a few words in my defense. You should also know that when I said she was Gu Ruyi's personal maid, I actually wasn't with her for long. Death is the end of all things, so I won't talk about her. When I was young, I stayed in the Gu family for so long, so I only heard some gossip, and I don't know if it was true."
Zhou Jiao knew what she meant, that she was innocent and had never interfered in the feud between the Gu family. However, because she was old and had heard a lot of inside stories, she couldn't guarantee whether they were true or not.
She wanted to hear what the other person had to say. Was he betraying his master or seeking justice? Or was he talking about some other kind of nonsense?
Facing Zhou Jiao's penetrating gaze, Old Lady Hu shifted uncomfortably. She felt as if Gu Mingzhu was watching her.
I remember when I first entered the fourth room of Gu Si, I followed the young lady to the main room. How old was the eldest young lady at that time? She also watched the young lady bragging about how many brothers she had.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Hu's mind hardened. She decided to tell the truth. These smart people were not easy to fool, and she couldn't let them find out that she was being perfunctory and get angry.
"Let me first tell you about the rumors in your grandmother's family. Some say someone tampered with the eldest wife's baby when she gave birth to a daughter, which is why your grandmother only has a biological daughter. Rumor has it that it was her younger sister who did it."
Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes, a bit confused. Speaking of which, are there any other people in the Liu family? Why haven't I ever heard my aunt mention them? And what about that "sister"? What the hell is that? Hitting your eldest sister's door is indeed a skill only the ladies of a wealthy family can do.
"Because the eldest son of the family refused to have any contact with the Yue family after giving birth to a daughter, this made everyone even more convinced."
Well, the routine is deep. Look, this is the harm of women not being liberated. They stay in that tiny backyard all day long, never leaving the house. It's not that they haven't seen enough men, they start to want to eat grass at home!
"...There are also rumors that the master of the main branch of the family was worried that his daughter wouldn't be able to inherit the family business, so he started transferring the family property a long time ago. The several concubines of the Gu family were anxious, so they sent people to the capital to inquire about the Zhou family and see if there was any property transferred to the Zhou family. I know this. At that time, the head of the Gu family was worried that the main branch of the family would get wind of it, so he asked the five heads of the branches with good relationships to send their relatives, a total of twelve people.
Less than a year later, they all died in the capital. That night, when Fourth Master Gu received the letter from his study, he smashed several cups and shouted, "How dare the Zhou family?" A few days later, Grandpa Gu demanded repayment of the working capital he had lent them in previous years. Those families often went to Fourth Master Gu's house in the evenings to discuss matters. The old man was worried that Grandpa Gu would find out, so he frightened him and his cousins and dragged them to the head of the Gu family to discuss matters.
