In particular, the mistress and her son were brazenly grateful to Pei Danfeng for stepping down and making way for her, saying that the Xie family had asked the direct descendants of the five great families for help, and Xie Jiaming would be released tomorrow!
When Pei Danfeng and her children heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. Her children were extremely resentful towards Pei Danfeng, who felt she had been deceived and returned to the Fu family with a murderous aura.
No sooner had Xie's mother left than Xie's eldest son returned to the Xie family home with his younger brother and sister-in-law, determined to gain their forgiveness even if it meant kowtowing and begging for forgiveness. Coincidentally, just as they were preparing to kneel and beg for forgiveness, the mistress started making things difficult for them when special authorities arrived...
Before Pei Danfeng even entered the house, she started cursing, "Gu Wanwan, how dare you deceive me into getting a divorce, making me the subject of gossip in the industry, with everyone secretly mocking me as a discarded wife! The Xie family told me they found their direct descendant to release Xie Jiaming, and that he'll be free tomorrow? You're spreading rumors and promoting feudal superstition, I'm going to report you!"
Zhao Baiping frowned. "Is this true?"
Gu Wanwan was enjoying the delicious breakfast prepared by Brother Chen when she casually replied, "Can you believe the Xie family's lies? Then you wouldn't have been kept in the dark by them for so many years. If it weren't for Old Madam Fu exposing you, you would still be foolishly deceived."
Fu Jingchen hit the nail on the head, "They release mistresses just like that, treating them like special departments. Is that direct descendant as powerful as Old Master Zhao from the lower five aristocratic families? If a mistress told you to die, would you go or not?"
Gu Wanwan clicked her tongue and mysteriously curled her lips, "I've done some calculations. Your children went to the Xie family to beg for forgiveness and reunite the family while you were away. And what happened? They ran into a special department. I can only wish them good luck."
Pei Danfeng firmly refused to believe it, yet she felt a sense of unease and fear in her heart. "You're talking nonsense..."
"Alright, stop fooling around. The Du family called yesterday and said they'd be coming over today to meet their future son-in-law." As Pei Tai spoke, he kept a close eye on Gu Wanwan's expression, trying to detect a hint of fear in her. "Gu Wanwan, where are your family? Why haven't they arrived yet? Do you want to keep Battalion Commander Du's family waiting? I really don't know what kind of high and mighty act you're putting on."
Zhao Baiping sneered, "I'm afraid they can't be seen in public. After all, they're a family of bad elements, with a lowly status. Unlike the Du family, who are military officers, it's a world of difference. People should know their place. I guess the Gu family is afraid of getting into trouble, which is why they don't dare to show their faces."
"Gu Wanwan, let's see how you explain this to the Du family. Your family hasn't even shown up yet, and you've already lost half your momentum. Besides, you even injured a Du family bodyguard. The Du family won't let you off the hook. If you know what's good for you, you should offer Du Lixue Teng your position!"
"Do you know that the Du family has invited Gu Qiulin and Shi Zhenxiang from five prominent families, as well as Gu Yarou's mother and aunt? Now you should know how deep the Du family's connections are, right? You should know your own place. Can your family background compare to Du Lixue's mother?"
Pei Danfeng's displeasure was instantly replaced by surprise. "Mom and Dad, really? Gu Qiulin and Shi Zhenxiang's husband are now in charge of the Gu family. They're here to support the Du family. What a huge honor! Being related to the Du family by marriage means the Pei family has a connection with the Gu family. It looks like our Pei family is about to have a great stroke of luck and turn our fortunes around."
"That's right..."
Gu Wanwan raised an eyebrow. Gu Qiulin? Shi Zhenxiang? Perfect timing. It's time to meet these ingrates.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is about to arrive.
