"This is Nuan Nuan, dear child, you have suffered a lot these years. Come here and let your grandmother take a look. This little face really looks like your brother and sister, and it seems that they were carved from the same mold. You are a blessed child."
The old man came over with a smile and reached out to hug Nuannuan, but the little boy hugged his brother's neck tightly and buried his little face in his neck.
Gu Nan also moved aside and looked at her with cold eyes.
"Oh you kids!"
The old woman glared at him, "You don't know how to respect the elderly. I'm your grandmother, and you didn't greet me when I came in, but what kind of attitude is this? I'm saying, cousin, your grandchildren are not well behaved. We came here specially to visit you, and when we came in, the daughter-in-law didn't greet us, and the grandchildren didn't even greet us..."
“That’s enough!”
Grandpa Gu sneered sternly and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
Grandpa Gu is a very obedient person. His father's generation supported each other during the famine years and had a very good relationship. When his father went out to work, he was left alone in the village, and his uncle also took good care of him. Therefore, after he became rich, he also took good care of his cousin from his uncle's family.
But this person, if you treat him well, he will become too generous.
His cousin was a weak-willed man, but the wife he married was a woman with little knowledge but big ambitions, who often said things to sow discord in front of his cousin. As disappointing things happened more and more, Mr. Gu gradually became estranged from his cousin.
Even after he died, this cousin-in-law had been asking for good things from him in the name of the deceased. Other things were fine, he could just bear with it at his age. But she wanted to replace Nuannuan with her granddaughter, which was something he absolutely could not tolerate. Now she was saying bad things about his granddaughter in front of him. Did she really think he was dead?
"Sister-in-law."
Mr. Gu looked at her slowly, his wise eyes exuding an oppressive and sharp look that made people unable to look directly at him. After all, he was also a leader of an era. Although he has been silent in recent years, it does not mean that his majesty is gone.
"As for my daughter-in-law and grandchildren, that is my family's problem. It is not the turn of outsiders to come to my house and point fingers at me!"
The old woman was so frightened that she trembled. It took her a long time to realize that she was being scolded, and she was being scolded like this in front of so many young people. Her old face immediately turned red with shame, and she took a few steps back, covering her heart.
The old woman's son quickly stepped forward to support her - "Mom...Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"You...you are so good, Gu Jianhua!"
Her fingers were trembling, and then she slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and started crying.
"What a sin! I am your sister-in-law. When your father was away working, you were raised by my family. And now you...you treat us like this. You are a family of ungrateful bastards. You will not have a good death!"
She is dressed in luxurious clothes, and the gold chains and bracelets hanging on her body can serve as a display stand now that she is old, but her behavior is just like that of a country woman.
Nuannuan stared at the old man with her black and white eyes, and thought of the grandma from Xiaoxi Village. She was also a bad person. Her grandson often bullied her. The bad old woman not only did not teach her grandson a lesson, but also scolded her for being a money loser and pinched her flesh, which was so painful. This old woman was the same as that bad old woman.
Gu Nan covered her ears because the old woman's cursing became more and more unbearable and it was simply unbearable to listen to.
His grandfather was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Gu Nan sat on the sofa slowly, glanced at them with a cold and sharp gaze, and spoke without emotion. Although it was not as loud as the old woman's voice, it was loud enough for everyone to hear and made the whole family tremble.
"Uncle, a month ago, the project you were in charge of had a problem with the materials and suffered a loss of 30 million. My dad paid for it. When do you plan to pay me back? Also, six months ago, a worker was seriously injured and hospitalized because of the lack of safety. The medical expenses, compensation, the cost of replacing various safety materials, and the cost of bribing those reporters all added up to 80 million. I paid for it. When do you plan to pay me back?"
Gu Nan said so many words at once with an expressionless face, and every word seemed to pierce into that family like an ice knife.
The middle-aged man avoided looking at him, and the old woman stopped crying because she was scared.
Since they became rich, they have been spending money lavishly without any limit although they do not have much financial resources. Now they spend even more lavishly. Not to mention paying back the money, they do not have much savings and have been living on dividends all these years.
The worst thing is that her son has become addicted to gambling, and the family has less and less money to spend. So they set their sights on Gu Linmo and his wife. Because of Nuannuan's disappearance, her little granddaughter is the same age as Nuannuan, and the Gu family is so sad. Isn't it for their sake that they let their stepmother Gu Ling come here? By the way, it would be even better if they could make some money from this in the long run.
But unexpectedly, this little bastard was quite lucky and was found alive.
The old woman gritted her teeth in hatred. Her beautiful dream was shattered, which made her hate Nuannuan even more. She was a girl who would be married off sooner or later and a money loser, but her cousin's family really treated her like a treasure.
Gu Nan sat on the sofa, looking at them indifferently, waiting to see how they were going to respond.
Nuannuan sat next to him, her small body leaning on her big brother and looking at these people eagerly.
She will remember these people and stay away from them from now on.
Standing in the corner, Gu Wan was jealous and her eyes turned red when she saw the brother and sister being intimate. She bit her lips tightly and looked at Nuan Nuan with resentment. At the same time, she was also angry that she was born at the wrong time. If she was Gu Ling, she would not be so useless and would definitely be able to please her cousin's family. Then she would be the one who had a good relationship with Gu Nan and his family.
Then she would become the apple of the Gu family's eye, with three brothers who are so good to her, and a father and a mother. She would be sought after by many people, instead of in her current family, where her grandmother favors boys over girls and is partial to her younger and older brothers, and because of her rural identity, she is short-sighted and loves to act unruly, which makes her feel extremely embarrassed.
Her father is a useless man who loves to gamble, her mother plays mahjong with others all day long, her eldest brother is a loser and has a good-for-nothing younger brother. She is simply fed up with this family!
If... if I was born in my cousin's family, I would have endless money and be pursued by all the young men from wealthy families.
As she was thinking, Gu Wan's beautiful dream was broken by her grandmother's harsh voice.
The old woman had a sullen face and her drooping eyes looked mean and sarcastic.
"We are all family. Besides, isn't it normal for your projects to have risks and losses? The safety issue you mentioned, shouldn't it be your company's business?"
