Shi Meihua turned pale with fright. "You can't fire me! My cousin is your second aunt, we're relatives. Aren't you afraid my cousin will get angry if you fire me?"
Gu Wanwan glanced at her coldly, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips. "Heh, Second Aunt, we were no longer relatives when your Second Aunt's family reported my grandparents. Besides, your Second Aunt married an adopted son, who has no blood relation to the Gu family whatsoever. Go back and tell Shi Zhenxiang that I, Gu Wanwan, am the nightmare of the second branch of the Gu family. Get ready to pack your things and get out. The Gu family cannot tolerate ungrateful, heartless wretches."
"You illegitimate dog, do you deserve to be the head of the Gu family? Don't you know who you are? If my grandparents hadn't taken pity on him and adopted Gu Huaien back then, he would still be begging for a living in some remote corner. Would your aunt still have the chance to bully others?"
"Your cousin's family is about to have good days ahead. If the Shi family dares to act recklessly again by using the Gu family's name, they will bear the consequences."
These words were not only a reprimand to Shi Zhenxiang, but also meant for the onlookers; the second branch of the Gu family was about to face its twilight years.
"I had heard rumors before that the second branch of the Gu family and Gu Qiulin were not biological children. At the time, I was skeptical, since Gu Qiulin came out to clarify immediately, saying that it was a completely unfounded rumor."
"An explanation is just a cover-up. I didn't expect it to be true, especially since it was said by the Gu family woman herself. It must be true..."
"How shameless! They colluded with the Jian family to report their own adoptive parents, all in an attempt to seize power, thinking they could have a peaceful end. But in the end, the Jian family was exonerated and returned to the capital. Wasn't all their efforts for nothing?"
"If the second branch of the Gu family hadn't done this, they could have stayed in the Gu family. This has blocked their escape route!"
"I don't think so. Isn't there Gu Yarou, the most beautiful woman in Beijing? She has a wide network of connections, and is an honored guest of the lower five families. She has a deep foundation and is not easy to fall."
"The title of 'Number One Beauty' is about to change. With Princess Gu in the spotlight, who dares to take on the role?"
"..."
Shi Meihua glared at the manager with a warning look, as if to say, "If you dare fire me, you'll regret it."
"I also have my cousin, and my cousin knows a lot of high-ranking officials."
The manager was caught in a dilemma when suddenly another voice came from the crowd, "Fire him."
"General Manager." The manager recognized the General Manager of the Department Store at a glance.
"Auntie." Fu Wanning walked quickly toward her with delight. "Auntie, you're back from your business trip. Let me introduce you. This is my brother Fu Jingchen's girlfriend, Gu Wanwan."
“Sister-in-law, this is my grandparents’ daughter-in-law, my aunt Zhuang Tianman, who takes good care of me. When I was bullied by the Pei family, it was my great-uncle’s family who protected me. My aunt treats me like her own daughter and always remembers me when there’s something good to eat or drink. If it weren’t for my grandfather’s family, I would have been tortured to death by my stepmother long ago.”
Zhuang Tianman's affection was evident on her face. Then she looked at Gu Wanwan and her eyes lit up. "What a beautiful girl! I've heard about you and Jingchen from my in-laws. On behalf of my family, I thank you. You are a benefactor to the Pei family."
