Jian Yuzhi recovered from her collapse and simply threw herself into a rage, "Gu Wanwan, you evil spirit! I will definitely avenge you. This time, you and the Cheng family were just lucky. If you have the guts, go and bring down the Five Aristocratic Families."
"I'm the daughter of a relegated bad element, and so am I. You're so capable, why don't you help your grandparents overturn their convictions?"
"The lower fifth aristocratic family? I thought they were nothing. Since you're making such an arrogant request, I'll readily agree. Sooner or later, I'll root them out one by one." Gu Wanwan glanced down at him, her eyes filled with sternness and composure. "I forgot to tell you, the special department has already investigated and confirmed the false accusations against my grandparents. There will be action soon from above. My grandparents are no longer exiled personnel. They can return to the city once the case is resolved. My grandparents from the Shen family will be back soon too."
"Do you understand? My Gu family has been vindicated. Unlike those rotten fish and shrimps in your Jian family, my five great families will soon gather in the capital. We, who you destroyed with all your might, are back!"
"Surprise? Accident? It was me, Gu Wanwan, who did it!"
This news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone at the scene.
The villagers and educated youth who were holding the four old men from the cowshed were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Once the Gu family’s grandparents regain their status, won’t those who bullied Yuan Xing be doomed?
Would the Gu family use their power to punish them? Those self-proclaimed righteous educated youth trembled in fear, fearing that they would be retaliated against and unable to return to the city.
Jian Yuzhi shook her head unwillingly, "The Gu family has been rehabilitated? How is that possible? I don't believe it..."
"If you don't believe me, go to the office and call me. You don't think I went back to Beijing and did nothing, do you? I, Gu Wanwan, am not a weak, useless vase. I have plenty of... strength and means." Gu Wanwan raised her eyes, her expression unfathomable. "I used to hide my strength. I lost my mind because of certain things and let my emotions blind me. I have corrected such a low-level mistake and will not make it again."
He Wenyan understood the hidden meaning of her words. Was she saying that Gu Wanwan regretted having been infatuated with him?
He Shuyan was not slapped in the face, but she had the illusion that she was severely slapped in the face. She used to despise the Gu family's grandparents and even disliked them for making mistakes. Now that she was told that the Gu family was wronged, all her prejudices became a joke.
Thinking back to the time when the He family was worried about being implicated by Gu Wanwan, they not only came to cancel the engagement but also distanced themselves from the outside world. Their own grandmother and mother also took advantage of the situation and humiliated Gu Wanwan and her family. Because of this, they had a quarrel with their grandfather. Therefore, this marriage was arranged by their grandfather from the Gu family.
What was he doing then? He was attacking and mocking Gu Wanwan, and what was the outcome? The Gu family was about to be vindicated, while the He family's actions would eventually become the laughing stock of the entire capital. Would he laugh at the He family for being ungrateful? Or would he laugh at the He family for being heartless and disloyal?
The ones who reacted most shocked and stunned were Gu Yarou and Xu Luoxue.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Yarou's eyes. The demotion of the Gu and Shen families was not only her doing, but she could be said to be the one who schemed it out. The lower five families were just people she used. She went to great lengths to get rid of the eldest son of the Gu and Shen families and control the entire upper five families. She just wanted to monopolize the fortune of the two families and get the ancestral treasure that was rich enough to rival a country.
It is said that the secret treasure also contains the secret of cultivating immortals, dragon balls and dragon veins. If she gets them all, wouldn't she be invincible?
Dominating the world is just around the corner.
The Gu and Shen families had been demoted for almost a decade, and she thought the Gu family would be in decline forever, but she didn't expect that it would be ruined by Gu Wanwan. She never regarded Gu Wanwan as a threat, so her negligence caused a situation that was difficult to save.
I really underestimated Gu Wanwan. Even though I am the girl of destiny, I just can't see through Gu Wanwan. Who is the real Gu Wanwan?
