Now everything is ruined. Qin Feifei and Qin Baoming are disliked by the Sheng family, and even the outside help they brought in is a fake prince!
The more boastful and smug they were before, the more embarrassed and awkward they are now.
Their dream of becoming one of the most prestigious families in Chengdu was shattered, and those who had once fawned over the Qin family now avoided them like the plague.
Zhou Derong's face was no less grim than her mother-in-law's; the Qin family's long-planned efforts had been ruined.
Qin Feifei had already experienced this once before, so she didn't react too strongly to the result. However, her older brother, Qin Baoming, couldn't accept the fact that he had befriended a fake prince.
He always took pride in being Gu Ziqi's lackey, flattering him a lot and even giving money to Gu Ziqi as a gift. A few days ago, he was short of money, so he mentioned it to his mother. The two of them went to the bank and withdrew five thousand yuan from the Sheng family's savings account, giving three yuan of it to Gu Ziqi as a gift.
Today, I invited Gu Ziqi to the Qin family for drinks, and also to keep things in order. I spent another two thousand yuan on his appearance fee.
Gu Ziqi took the money and readily agreed, but what was the result? He spent a lot of time, effort, and money to hire a useless piece of trash.
Even though he is not the rightful heir of the Gu family, he insists on boasting about how powerful the second branch of the Gu family is.
When Old Master Gu returns to Beijing, it's only a matter of time before the second branch of the Gu family is kicked out.
"Liar! You cheated me out of so much money, give it back! You've ruined the Qin family..."
If the second branch of the Gu family is useless, then what backing does the Qin family have to stand up against the Gu siblings, the Sheng family, and the Cheng family?
Isn't this just courting death?
No wonder the other four founding members of the five great families never took the second branch of the Gu family seriously.
Gu Ziqi was incredibly embarrassed and terrified, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface. "No one is asking you to be filial to me. My father is now the head of the Gu family, and I have Zhao Jingrui, the granddaughter of Old Master Zhao, as my fiancée. Are you sure you dare to offend me?"
“My sister, Gu Yarou, is a distinguished guest of the Lower Five Families. Ask the Lower Five Families if our Gu family’s second branch has ever lied to anyone. Judging from the Lower Five Families’ attitude towards Yarou, even if my family is not the head of the Upper Five Families, we are still the sixth family among the Lower Five Families!”
“Gu siblings, you have offended our second branch of the family. My sister Ya Rou will not let you get away with this. You will pay the price for your stupidity and arrogance. I will remember the humiliation you have suffered today and the enmity between my Yue family and the Zhao family. I will repay you a hundredfold.”
Those present, upon hearing this, had to admit that the second branch of the Gu family had truly struck it lucky.
Even if the second branch is in dire straits, it still has the support of the Lower Five Families, and might actually be able to establish its own household and become the new sixth family among the Lower Five Families.
"All you do is talk the talk. You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't compete with their status. No matter how lucky your sister is, she's still no match for me." Gu Wanwan didn't care whether the second wife had any backing or not. She just talked back to him when she didn't like him. "Listen to what dirty things our number one beauty in Beijing did in the countryside."
"The second branch of the Gu family inherited the potential of thieves and bullies. Taking things without asking is considered stealing. In the capital, the second branch stole my grandfather's position as head of the family, seized the Gu family's property, and were ungrateful. They bullied my siblings and caused us to be separated. In the countryside, Gu Yarou claimed to be following true love and went to the countryside with He Wenyan to share hardships, but in reality, she was there to monitor my grandparents and try to pry open their mouths to find out the whereabouts of the treasure so that she could take it for herself!"
"Do you want to know Gu Yarou's true colors? You're surprised and excited, aren't you? Come on, I'll tell you everything..."
