Zhao Simei cast a hopeful glance at Xu Luoxue, clearly intending to cling to her. "Xu Luoxue, Gu Yarou, you have to help me. My current predicament is inextricably linked to you. I've offended Gu Wanwan countless times for your sake. You often took advantage of me and the Zhao family. Later, when I reported my father, you readily agreed. I've severed all ties with the Zhao family, and you are the culprits. If you don't compensate us, I'll keep pestering you!"
When Gu Yarou arrived, her gloomy expression made her look like she had swallowed a mouthful of shit.
Xu Luoxue stared at Zhao Simei in astonishment. "You are ungrateful! It's only right that your adoptive parents cut ties with you. My cousin and I are your bosses, and you actually turn around and criticize your bosses? Let me tell you, starting today, you don't need to go to the pickle shop anymore. You're fired. Don't think that I'm a pushover and can be manipulated and threatened by you!"
"And you, Gu Wanwan, you're always stirring up trouble. You're deliberately trying to make my life miserable, aren't you?"
Gu Wanwan returned her a polite but firm look. "You were quite happy to shift the blame to me earlier, weren't you? Instead of worrying about yourself, you should worry about your and Mom's situation. Grandpa and Grandma are preparing to return to Beijing. How is your mom and your second uncle's fate any different from Zhao Simei's? Being kicked out is only fair."
He Shuyan wanted to say something, but found herself without much standing, since Xu Luoxue had spoken out of turn first. However, since it concerned Gu Yarou, she had to say a few words, "Gu Wanwan, Yarou's situation is very different from Zhao Simei's, and they can't be compared. Grandpa and Grandma Gu shouldn't be that heartless, and Yarou's parents and Luoxue's parents are quite filial to your grandparents..."
Gu Wanwan laughed, a laugh full of sarcasm. "Filial piety? Filial piety means, in times of crisis, publishing a notice in the newspaper and severing ties with the whistleblower, colluding with them to seize control of our Gu family and drive us brothers and sisters out of the Gu family? Maliciously abusing me and the twins."
"They are no match for Zhao Simei; they are far more ruthless and cruel than Zhao Simei."
"I'm so glad my older brother has good taste and found another true love. He didn't choose you, He Shuyan. If he had been blind and married you, what would have been the difference between him and someone who would have caused trouble?"
"You should mind your own business. You ordered a lot of pickled vegetables for your mom and your relatives' factory without permission. Be careful your mom doesn't scold you to death!"
Upon hearing that Gu Sijin was very likely to have a girlfriend, He Shuyan felt extremely bitter. She pretended to be calm and retorted, "My mom would never do that. She supports Ya Rou's affairs."
"Is that so? Then we'll wait and see." Gu Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, you won't have a chance to squeeze any blood out of me for your vampire grandma. I bet she's still dreaming that I'm after your He family and can be manipulated by you!"
Fu Jingchen's chilling voice suddenly came, "To be honest, if your grandfather hadn't been so persistent in asking for this marriage back then, Wanwan's elders wouldn't have agreed. After all, your He family is a small and insignificant family, not worthy of a family of meritorious officials. It's obvious who is marrying above their station. Now that Wanwan has me, her excellent fiancé, your He family can go cool off somewhere else."
"And my brother-in-law, you can only have a crush on him from afar, my own sister is his perfect match!"
The villagers' gossipy nature was piqued. "Your own sister?"
Fu Jingchen did not hide anything and announced to the public, "My twin sister Fu Wanning shares the same surname as me, and we have already recognized each other."
Gu Wanwan praised her without reservation, "My sister-in-law is beautiful, sweet-talking, kind-hearted, has a clear sense of right and wrong, and is very respectful to me, her sister-in-law."
