Brother Chen's swearing clearly conveyed a message.
"It's strange that He Wenyan actually regrets it. I never expected Gu Yarou to be so clumsy and despicable in private, stealing everything from Gu Wanwan, while the second branch of the Gu family still enjoys the glory of their adoptive parents as a matter of course."
"So this is the Crown Prince? He's just an adopted son. Like father, like son. The whole family is the same. They're addicted to stealing. Gu Wanwan was really wronged back then. She was misunderstood for so long, and it turned out she was framed."
"Xu Luoxue and Gu Yarou are in cahoots. I thought Gu Yarou was so kind, but she's a poisonous woman with a kind face but a wicked heart. If it weren't for Old Master Gu taking her in back then, Gu Yarou's status would be even lower than ours."
"The He family is really going to regret this, but it's too late to make amends. Princess Gu is not powerful enough and already has a boyfriend."
"I heard that the He family still looks down on Gu Wanwan, thinking she's as easy to manipulate as before. To be honest, the He family is quite blind, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, and being all hot and bothered. He Wenyan is probably the most rational in the family, but unfortunately, he's also the one who's been most badly screwed over by his family. He Wenyan was ruined by being dragged down by his confused elders."
"You know what, Gu Wanwan really has good taste. Her boyfriend is the regimental commander, and his face alone is better looking than He Wenyan's. No wonder Gu Wanwan chose him over He Wenyan. If I were in her shoes, I would also choose Chief Fu. After all, Chief Fu doesn't have any troublesome in-laws or elders, and his sister-in-law, Fu Wanqing, is so protective of her 'filial' sister-in-law. It's practically a perfect family!"
"..."
Qin Baoming had finally figured it out: Gu Ziqi was utterly useless, just another good-for-nothing who needed someone to back him up. But because Gu Ziqi had a fiancée from the Zhao family, he didn't dare ask for the money back.
Zhou Derong knew that her son had spent a lot of money to curry favor with Gu Ziqi, but she never expected that the other party was a fake prince. From today onwards, the fact that the Qin family was sucking up to the fake prince will be known to everyone.
The neighbors who used to fawn over the Qin family now look at them with disdain.
Granny Qin grew increasingly dissatisfied with Zhou Derong's branch of the family. They were both made and destroyed by Madam Sheng. Unlike Zhou Derong and her son, she had no reservations and launched into a tirade against Gu Ziqi, saying, "You fake prince, you've been eating and drinking for free in our house all this time. My Qin family has gone to great lengths to serve you lavish meals and even stuffed a lot of money into your pocket, thinking you were backing up the Qin family."
"Don't think I don't know that Zhou Derong and her son gave you money, a thousand or several thousand each time. Pay back the money, or I'll sue you. You're just an adopted son. Once Old Master Gu returns to Beijing, your second branch will have nothing to do with you. I'm not afraid of your threats."
It was absolutely impossible for Gu Ziqi to return that money; he and Zhao Jingrui had already spent it on food, drink, and entertainment. "The Qin family is trying to extort me. Who saw you give me any money? I don't acknowledge it, what can you do about it? What bad luck..."
He regretted it. He wished he hadn't gotten involved. Now that the second wife's background had been exposed, how was he going to explain it to his parents and aunt?
If his former close friends learned about the background of the second branch of the Gu family, would they avoid him? Or would his fiancée, Zhao Jingrui, dislike his status as inferior to Gu Sijin and break off the engagement, abandoning the second branch of the Gu family?
"Anyway, this is a feud between you and the Qin family. I'm not going to play along. I need to go back and be with my wife, Zhao Jingrui. Anyone who dares to mess with me is going against the Zhao family." After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave.
