Gu Yarou was stunned by the blow. She suppressed her anger and said aggrievedly, "Chu Xuan, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to kick someone when they're down!"
Xu Luoxue couldn't hold back her temper and flew into a rage, wanting to fight back. "Sheng Chuxuan, you're courting death! Why are you hitting me? You're an outsider, so what right do you have to speak ill of my Xu family and my uncle?"
Sheng Chuxuan swiftly slapped her to the ground, saying in a resounding voice, "Just because I'm the Gu family's unmarried daughter-in-law, the first and third branches of the Gu family are the legitimate descendants of the Gu family. The second branch and Gu Qiulin are just a bunch of fakes who just happened to be picked up and raised for nothing."
"Not driving you away? Are we going to let you do whatever you want? You think you can dominate the Gu family now that grandpa and grandma are gone? You're too arrogant, you've forgotten your status and origins. Everything you have was given by the Gu family. It's only right for the Gu family to take it back."
Gu Yarou almost bit her teeth and pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful on the surface, but deep down she wanted to tear Sheng Chuxuan's stinky mouth apart. Few people knew the secret of the second wife's life experience. Did she want to make it public?
This was the nth time He Shuyan had heard someone mock the Gu family's second branch. Why did Gu Wanwan always like to bring up the second branch? It was as if the second branch wasn't her biological family, and she wanted to treat them differently, wasn't she?
Or maybe it was because Gu Qiulin and Gu Huai'en severed ties with the Gu family and did not help the Gu family's grandparents, so Gu Wanwan and the others held a grudge against them.
She felt vaguely uneasy. If the elders in her family heard the gossip about Yarou's family, then her brother's marriage to Yarou would be in jeopardy.
At the same time, she was also worried that after the Gu family’s grandparents returned to Beijing, they would drive Gu Huai’en’s family out of the house. Would the elders dislike Yarou?
Gu Wanwan spoke at the right time, shattering the last bit of sweet dream in Hu Pandi's heart. "Hu Pandi, don't dwell on someone who doesn't belong to you. You won't be able to pass the political review alone."
Fu Jingchen cooperated with his wife in judging Hu Pandi's crimes. "You are involved in accepting huge sums of money, engaging in private speculation, and placing villagers into the factory without the consent of the factory leaders. You have committed a crime!"
Other villagers who had paid Hu Pandi were now anxious and uneasy, realizing belatedly that they seemed to have been deceived. "What should we do? Hu Zhiqing, you have to give us an explanation!"
"You promised us that each of us would pay 100 yuan to buy a job. We had to work hard to get that money from friends and family. I even spent my own pension and my coffin money just to buy a job for my grandson."
"You swore you were Chief Gu's rival, Gu Zhiqing's sister-in-law, and that you had the final say in the factory. We foolishly believed you. Now the real boss is here, and you're a liar. Return our hard-earned money."
"Oh my God, I was scammed out of my money..."
“…”
Some radical villagers directly attacked Gu Wanwan, "Gu Zhiqing, you are also responsible for this matter. Hu Pandi accepted the money anyway, so you must give us a satisfactory explanation."
"You're a big factory, hiring twenty more people is no problem. Please be kind, or I'll report you and shut you down!"
