"I'm not jealous, envious or hateful of me. She's not as pretty or as good-looking as me, nor as outstanding or capable as me. What else can she compare to me? Oh, there's one thing she's better than me in, and that's her affectation. I can't learn it." Gu Wanwan was talking to He Wenyan, but her eyes drifted towards Gu Yarou.
"Your suggestion is very good, but my brother Chen will be unhappy. You have already gone through the formalities, and a good woman never turns back."
Having said this, she turned around and left in a cool manner.
He Shuyan was devastated. Her brother had fallen for Gu Wanwan before he even started dating Yarou?
You used to ignore me, but now you realize it and love me?
How could this be possible? My brother couldn't like Gu Wanwan. If they got back together, wouldn't Gu Wanwan become even more arrogant? What would Yarou do then? All those years of protecting her would be in vain? Ever since they met, Yarou had a crush on my brother.
"Yarou, don't worry. I will never allow my brother to abandon you. If my brother wants to be with Gu Wanwan, he must first get approval from the elders. My grandmother and mother will definitely not approve."
Gu Yarou secretly clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide the fury on her face. Perhaps He Mi and Grandma He had been unwilling to accept it before, but now they were unwilling to accept it. The Gu family was vindicated, and Gu Wanwan was a special talent. There was no guarantee that they would not agree.
No, she can't just sit there and wait for death. She must do something to completely drive Gu Wanwan out of He Wenyan's world. Her previous tricks have always worked, and she believes that this time He Wenyan will eventually choose to stand on her side.
At the same time, after the news of Gu's rehabilitation came out, the people in Beijing were in chaos.
The elders of the He family knew about it immediately.
Grandpa He couldn't help but sigh. "I've been seeking this engagement for so long, but you guys ruined it. Once Elder Gu comes back, he'll definitely investigate this matter. I've long advised you to treat Wanwan well, but you refused to listen and chose to despise her. Even if she's not good enough, she's still the granddaughter of a founding father. If I hadn't been so shameless and relied on that meager favor, would the Gu family have set their sights on the He family?"
"The He family isn't even a fifth-class family, and can only live in the third largest courtyard. If it weren't for Wanwan, would He Shenglong have been able to take the position of commander? You're a bunch of ignorant women and children, you've ruined all the good fortune."
"Don't you think you have the right to look down on others? We should be secretly happy if they don't look down on us. Mr. Gu agreed very reluctantly before. If Wanwan didn't like Wen Yan, would it be the He family's turn to be the Gu family's son-in-law?"
Thinking of the scene when Old Gu questioned him after returning to the city, Grandpa He was stunned by the worry. If the Gu family got furious, the He family would most likely lose everything. However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still stubborn and believed that the He family had a deep foundation and the Gu family posed no threat to them.
He Shenglong couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought about the Gu family revoking all their preferential treatment. He had finally climbed to this position, and there were still some people around him who were eyeing him covetously. He was afraid of being caught in the act. "Gu Wanwan likes Wen Yan so much, she shouldn't be so heartless. Compared to Gu Wanwan, Yarou is obviously more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the He family. She is well-educated, polite, and a good person. She is also a guest of honor in the lower five aristocratic families."
Grandma He was scolded by Grandpa He and couldn't help but lose face. "You damn old man, you can't stop scolding me, can you? How is Yarou inferior to Gu Wanwan? Gu Wanwan didn't have the ability to keep my grandson, and she didn't have the ability to win our love. It's her character that's wrong. What does it have to do with our He family? Even if Mr. Gu is rehabilitated, will he have a place in the Gu family when he returns?"
"I'm telling you, as long as Gu Wanwan still likes my grandson, our He family has the capital to control her. No matter what my grandson says, Gu Wanwan will obey him."
He Qi never thought that those who were sent down to the countryside would one day return to Beijing. So what if he couldn't return to the city? The Gu family was no longer the same Gu family as before. "Come back if you want. Mom is right. There's nothing to be afraid of. The Gu family is now controlled by Gu Qiulin and Gu Huaiwu. What can Old Gu do if he comes back? Can he drive his own sons and daughters out? Isn't he afraid that there will be no one to take care of him in his old age?"
