Chapter 160: The lingering ghost

"More than that, in addition to these two sums of money, her family also has..."

Ji Huayan leaned close to her ear and whispered.

As He Rongsheng listened, he gradually smiled, his eyes filled with greed.

"Are you telling the truth? Is there really so much gold hidden in her house?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Ji Huayan said, "I saw her buying it at the gold shop with my own eyes. She also bought a lot for her old lady. If she could get it, would she still worry about my brother having no money to spend?"

He Rongsheng was still a little hesitant, "Is this method really effective?"

"You'll know if it works if you try it, it's worth it."

What she said made sense. He Rongsheng nodded and looked at Zhou Chang, "How about we just listen to her?"

Zhou Chang wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Mom, will the man named Gu really believe it?"

"That damn girl has always had a complicated relationship with Old Third Yan. No one can explain this kind of thing clearly. As long as we insist that the two children are bastards, it is impossible for the surname Gu not to be suspicious."

He Rongsheng became more and more excited as he spoke, "I think it's feasible."

She enthusiastically discussed the matter with Zhou Chang, not noticing at all that Ji Huayan had a sarcastic smile on her face.

Two idiots, there is no need to think about how Gu Xiyue could possibly believe it. They will definitely not get the money this time, and will definitely be humiliated in public. There might even be a big scene, and they are doomed to run back in disgrace.

But it doesn’t matter. What she wants is for everyone to know that these two idiots have a bad relationship with Zhou Nuan, so that she can proceed with the next action.

The next day, He Rongsheng and Zhou Chang got up early and went straight to Gu's house.

They waited for a long time before finally seeing the familiar figure coming out and calling her, "Second Brother!"

Zhou Nuan looked back and frowned slightly.

It's these two people again, they're really haunting us.

She walked past him without noticing anything.

Seeing that she ignored him, He Rongsheng frowned in dissatisfaction, "Zhou Nuan, I'm calling you."

“…”

"Zhou Nuan! I'm your mother! Stop right there!"

Zhou Nuan stopped walking, her eyes neither cold nor indifferent, "You guys go, what you want is absolutely impossible."

He Rongsheng was so angry that he said, "Stop! If you don't stop, I will tell Gu Xiyue about it!"

Zhou Nuan paused, "That thing?"

"Yes, it's about you and Old Third Yan having an affair, and these two children are not Gu Xiyue's, but Old Third Yan's. I want to tell Gu Xiyue about this."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You just made this up." Zhou Nuan just found it ridiculous.

"Haha, do you think Gu Xiyue would believe me if I told you that I made it up? After all, you and Yan Lao San really had an affair, and with my family's testimony, what do you think the Gu family will think?" He Rongsheng said with a smug look on his face. "Of course, if you don't want Gu Xiyue to misunderstand, then give me some money and I'll consider telling it."

"Also, during the month you disappeared, Yan Lao San went to the provincial capital, and you went to chase Yan Lao San. Who knows if anything happened between you two during that month? If Gu Xiyue knew about this, would he still want you?"

“…”

Zhou Nuan really felt sad for her original self. This person was not a relative at all; this person was clearly an enemy who ate her flesh and sucked her blood. She wanted to put her in an impenetrable situation.

Seeing Zhou Nuan didn't say anything, He Rongsheng thought she was scared and became even more proud. "In addition to giving us some money, I heard that you have a lot of gold jewelry at home. Give those to us as well, so that I won't say anything nonsense in front of Mr. Gu."

Zhou Nuan glanced at her coldly without even frowning, "Go ahead and say whatever you want to say. I want to see what tricks you can come up with."

She turned around and left, leaving He Rongsheng standing there, jumping up and down in excitement.

Zhou Chang watched her go away, "Mom, what should I do?"

"That damn girl is so heartless, so we don't need to talk to her about kindness anymore! Wait, wait for her mother-in-law to come out! I don't believe she won't think too much after knowing it."

He Rongsheng was furious. Apart from the money, she now wished that the dead girl would be driven out by the man named Gu and become a beggar on the streets. Only in this way could she get rid of the hatred in her heart.

She waited patiently, but instead of seeing Qin Yuezhi, she saw Gu Xiyue coming back from outside.

Zhou Chang was a little scared when he saw him, and pulled He Rongsheng, "Mom, it's this kid, should we go?"

His brother-in-law is not someone who can be easily fooled, so they initially thought of starting with Qin Yuezhi. After all, Qin Yuezhi is the most easily influenced and will believe whatever others tell her. They might be able to get some money from her, but Gu Xiyue is different.

He Rongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? It's even better if Gu Xiyue comes. Which man can tolerate a cuckold? You stay here and don't go out. I'll go talk to him! After all, I'm the elder. He doesn't dare to do anything to me."

She flashed out from her hiding place, shouting, "Son-in-law!"

Gu Xiyue paused, then turned around, and when he saw it was her, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The cold and sharp aura startled He Rongsheng, and he couldn't help but smile flatteringly, "What a coincidence, I met you here. Did you know that I was here last time?"

Gu Xiyue had a blank expression on his face. "I know. You pushed my mother to the ground and injured her, and you also wanted to occupy our room."

He Rongsheng froze, "Uh, that's all misunderstanding... I came here to tell you something. I've been keeping this in my heart for a long time, and I've always felt guilty. Although Zhou Nuan is my daughter, I always feel that she has let you down..."

She glanced at him cautiously as she spoke.

Gu Xiyue still had no expression on his face, but his dark eyes seemed to be able to see through her, making her feel inexplicably guilty.

He Rongsheng gritted his teeth secretly, "I'm Zhou Nuan's mother, so I shouldn't tell you this, but I have a strong sense of morality, and I really can't let it go."

She talked about this and that, but she didn't say it directly. Gu Xiyue twitched his lips and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to answer, He Rongsheng was overjoyed, "This matter is very important. If I tell you, the mother-daughter relationship between Zhou Nuan and I will be gone, and she will not respect me in the future.. But if you can pay me some money, I will tell you even if Zhou Nuan no longer cares about me."

"You want money?" Gu Xiyue's brows were full of sarcasm, "How much do you want?"

He Rongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, secretly delighted, "You are the boss now, you are not short of money, right? I don't want more, just give me this amount."

She gestured a number, fearing that Gu Xiyue would think she was asking for too much, and added, "When you were away, Zhou Nuan disappeared for a month. Do you want to know where she went? Who did she go with?"

Emotions were churning in Gu Xiyue's dark eyes, his thin lips were pursed, and his face turned cold.
