Chapter 405: Vow to Defend Master Yingzhou's Innocence
Wang Manzhu's expression froze.
His eyes stared uncontrollably at a certain room, looking eagerly.
She didn't want to leave, but she was afraid that it would ruin her image in Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan's hearts.
He could only barely curl the corners of his lips.
"...Okay, then I'll be back first. I'll come back to see Brother Yingzhou later... Comrade Gu."
After saying that, he stood up reluctantly.
He left, looking back every few steps.
Mrs. Ruan hates people who have no sense of propriety the most.
Wang Manzhu just hit the spot that annoyed her.
After her figure disappeared, Mrs. Ruan said to Xiuying, "Xiuying, close the door. We won't be seeing any guests at home these days."
It seems that Wang Manzhu has not given up on Yingzhou yet.
She has to be careful for her grandson.
Xiuying responded readily, "Okay!"
I swear to defend Young Master Yingzhou's innocence to the death.
As soon as Wang Manzhu walked out of Ruan's house, her face instantly fell.
In front of the Wang family’s house.
A girl in her twenties saw Wang Manzhu coming out of Ruan's house and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Wang Manzhu, why are you going to Ruan's house?" the woman looked inquiringly.
Wang Manzhu saw her mortal enemy and forced herself to cheer up.
Rolled his eyes.
He said coldly: "None of your business!"
He was too lazy to pay attention to the woman, so he turned around and went home.
Wang Manzhen was worried that her cousin would get into trouble again, so she didn't want to go out and followed her into the house.
Wang Manzhu heard the voice, stopped and looked at her.
"Why are you following me?"
When she got home, Wang Manzhen had no worries.
Look serious.
"Our family is not the same as the Ruan family. Please stop causing trouble."
"When you got into that scandal, you fled abroad and never heard any of the spine-breaking gossip.
But what about us? You must have never thought about it!
After we finally waited for everyone to forget about that incident, you came back. So come back, we can't stop you from coming back.
It’s just… can you please be more careful and not mess with people you shouldn’t mess with?”
In recent years, my family has been on the decline, while the Ruan family has been rising step by step.
Although they are neighbors, the gap between them is huge.
Only this naive and newly returned cousin felt that her family in Hai City was still the same powerful one that it once was.
Wang Manzhu retorted unhappily, "Why am I not worrying?"
She sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, picked up a piece of candy from the table and put it in her mouth.
Without even looking at the annoying cousin, she said, "You're only one year older than me, don't act like you're my elder."
Neither her father nor her mother can control her.
A cousin who is a concubine is quite nosy.
Wang Manzhen didn't want to care about Wang Manzhu, but after all, they were a family.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
She and her two younger sisters are about to get married, and they can't let Wang Manzhu, this bad apple, ruin them.
"Do you think I want to control you? If your last name wasn't Wang, I wouldn't care whether you were a commoner or not." Wang Manzhen said sarcastically.
Her tone was warning.
"You can't climb up to the Ruan family. You gave up your eager heart early and affected the other members of the family. Believe it or not, I will slap you in the face."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Manzhu thought of the slap she received when she was sent back by the Ruan family.
It hurts so much.
I shuddered.
Just thinking of Gu Yingzhou, she felt infinite courage again.
"If you say I can't reach it, then I can't reach it..." Wang Manzhu was very unconvinced.
"Brother Yingzhou and I have been close since we were little. Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan both like me very much. Sooner or later, I will become Brother Yingzhou's bride. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
After saying those harsh words, she went back to her room angrily.
Wang Manzhen's mood was completely ruined by this willful cousin.
She sat down feeling exhausted and began to think about her future escape plan.
She was really scared to have such a troublesome cousin at home.
If you want to preserve your own branch of the family, the only way out is to split up the family.
But, how easy is it to split up the family?!
When the Wang sisters were arguing, the Ruan family members happened to mention them.
Mrs. Ruan thought of the Wang sisters with very different personalities and sighed deeply.
"Manzhen and the others are good, but Manzhu's temper..." She shook her head and sighed, "Young girls need to be pampered, but they can't be spoiled without principles. Otherwise, whoever family she marries into will be at odds with them."
As neighbors, the Ruan family knew everything about the Wang family.
Because Wang Manzhu looks very similar to Old Madam Wang, she is favored by the old lady.
She has been spoiled to the point of being willful and unaware of her own limitations.
However, Manzhen and her sisters took after their mother and were relatively clear-headed.
Gu Yingzhou did not agree with his grandmother's words.
"People are different. Wang Manzhu's roots are bad. Who has ever seen a tree with worms in its roots grow well?"
His son Tangbao was also raised in pampering by his family.
But...
Know how to be grateful, be filial to parents, respect brothers and sisters-in-law, and be patient with nephews and nieces...
So, it doesn’t matter whether you pamper your child or not, it still depends on what seeds you sow.
Mrs. Ruan almost laughed out loud when she saw her grandson's serious look.
I know you're thinking of your partner, but there's no need to be so protective of him, right?!
Mr. Ruan also shook his head when he thought of the Wang family, which had been on a downward trend.
"Alas! With Old Wang gone, the family is left without a backbone, and the younger generations are not working. I'm afraid we won't be able to live off our savings for many more years."
Mrs. Ruan had no sympathy for the Wang family.
You reap what you sow.
If Old Man Wang and his wife hadn't been so partial, they wouldn't have turned their family into the dilapidated state it is today.
Gu Yingzhou listened to the conversation between his grandparents in silence.
He glanced at the wall of the courtyard next to the Wang family and frowned slightly.
"Grandpa, grandma, please stay away from the Wang family from now on."
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
The Wang family was used to a good life.
Falling from a great height must feel unpleasant.
It’s okay if they didn’t target our home. If they did, I’m afraid something bad would happen.
After going through all the people he knew in his mind, Gu Yingzhou decided to find two more people to look after his grandparents.
Although doing so may seem a bit petty, it is not surprising that one should be extremely cautious when protecting one's loved ones.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruan could hear the concern in their grandson's voice.
My heart feels warm.
Madam Ruan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we didn't have much contact in the first place. It's only because Manzhu knew you were back that she came to our house."
It's been a while since Manzhu came back, and she hasn't visited the house once.
Therefore, the drunkard’s real intention is not to drink.
The purpose is clear.
Gu Yingzhou thought he was unlucky. He was silent for a moment and said, "...I'm sorry."
Mr. Ruan immediately blew his beard and glared.
"Are you saying something so inappropriate and not considering your grandmother and I as family?"
He thought that his grandfather was cultured and... well, very good.
Why is Yingzhou still so polite in his words?
He can't figure it out!
How could Gu Yingzhou not see that his grandpa was secretly competing with his grandfather again.
He was used to it and didn't feel any extra emotions in his heart.
"……no."
