Finally, he pushed the few pieces of jewelry wrapped in cloth, which he had retrieved from the Gu family, to Xu Ningyan: "Xiaoyan, these are for you! You suffered this time, and I'm so grateful to you! Otherwise, I'm afraid I would still be being deceived and feeding a bunch of ungrateful wretches with all my heart!"
Xu Ningyan quickly declined, "What a joke! These few ornaments were chosen by Gu Yong to be family heirlooms for Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, and also to coax Fang Dani. How could they be ordinary things?"
Even if these things are not easy to take out now, they will be priceless treasures in the future.
She wouldn't dare accept it.
Jiang Yuan's face hardened: "Xiao Yan! Are you not accepting this because you think it's been touched by the Gu family? Anyway, these things annoy me, so if you don't want them, just throw them away—"
Gu Zhixing hurriedly stopped her, while Gu Zhiyuan gave Xu Ningyan a look, signaling her to accept it quickly.
Xu Ningyan had no choice but to accept the item, even though she felt awkward.
Jiang Yuan patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, after you and Zhiyuan get married, that whole box will be yours!"
She turned back to Gu Zhixing and said, "Zhixing, you don't mind giving these things to your sister Xiaoyan, do you? Let me make this clear first: your future wife's things are in the box, these are separate, they're a thank-you gift for your sister Xiaoyan!"
Gu Zhixing didn't care about that at all: "Mom, what objection could I possibly have? You can give it all to my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law is so capable; if it weren't for it, all these things and the money would probably have been swallowed up by the Gu family! I'm so grateful to her!"
"Besides, my future wife is probably hiding somewhere out there, so don't worry about me. Only women like these things, so give them all to my sister-in-law!"
In Gu Zhixing's eyes, his future sister-in-law is one of the people he admires. In addition, although he is not valued by Gu Yong in the Gu family, he has been protected by Jiang Yuan and Gu Zhiyuan and has never lacked anything, so he doesn't care about her.
Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Now, her greatest comfort in this world, besides healing the sick and saving lives, is her two sons.
Now that I see the divorce from Gu Yong hasn't affected my two sons much, I'm relieved.
After giving her instructions, she got up to leave: "You two come with me to the newspaper office. It's better to publish an article as soon as possible to sever ties with the Gu family! Otherwise, if something happens to the Gu family in the future, you two will be implicated!"
She also asked Gu Zhiyuan to put both boxes away safely, as it wasn't safe to keep these things in her dormitory; she would feel at ease if they were kept with her eldest son.
Gu Zhiyuan took the things to the bedroom and put them away, while Gu Zhixing went to change his clothes.
Xu Ningyan and Jiang Yuan were left talking in the living room.
After hesitating for a moment, looking at the jewelry Jiang Yuan had given her, Xu Ningyan gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Jiang, although some of what I'm about to say may be unpleasant, please listen to me—"
Jiang Yuan now finds herself increasingly happy and secure looking at Xu Ningyan.
She herself was a bit timid and naive. If Xu Ningyan hadn't forcefully torn away the veil of pretense from the Gu family, she wouldn't have known that she had been deceived for so many years.
Therefore, besides liking Xu Ningyan, I also trust and rely on him a little.
Hearing Xu Ningyan say this, she quickly sat up straight: "Xiaoyan, tell me, your aunt knows you're a good child, and you're definitely doing this for my own good. Don't worry, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
Xu Ningyan couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Yuan's attitude.
She couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Yuan was too naive. She had only escaped the tiger's den of the Gu family because of this. If she had been a little more wicked, she would probably have fallen into the wolf's den again.
I need to remind Gu Zhiyuan to keep a closer eye on Jiang Yuan in the future.
“After you publish the notice of severing ties, I’m afraid there will be a lot of so-called well-meaning people who will try to persuade you and Commander Gu to remarry under various pretexts! I’m not worried about that. I’m just afraid that, given the Gu family’s character, if someone asks them, they might try to smear you to save face.”
"By the time you leave the compound, it will be too late to find out what they said! Rumors spread easily, but they are difficult to explain! So you need to prepare in advance!"
Jiang Yuan blinked and looked at Xu Ningyan with great trust: "Then, Xiaoyan, what do you suggest? Auntie will do as you say!"
Xu Ningyan was speechless.
She looked at Gu Zhiyuan, who had finished packing his things in the bedroom, and asked him for help.
The door wasn't closed, so Gu Zhiyuan naturally heard it too. Seeing Xu Ningyan looking at him pleadingly, he smiled and said, "My mom is right. Whatever you say, we'll do what you say!"
Xu Ningyan rolled her eyes in annoyance, knowing that Gu Zhiyuan was just teasing her.
However, seeing Jiang Yuan nod with complete conviction, she said, "Yes! We'll listen to you!"
Jiang Yuan was well aware of her shortcomings in this area. If she had that ability, she wouldn't have been fooled by Gu Yong and Fang Dani for so many years.
Xu Ningyan could only say, "It's nothing, let's strike first! After the newspaper is published, old comrades-in-arms or agents from Commander Gu's side will definitely come looking for you. Don't be shy, keep it a secret for them!"
"Those shameless people in the Gu family are capable of such things, why are you still covering for them? If anyone asks you, just tell them everything! Anyway, the divorce is already over, and the money and dowry are going back! The bigger the scene, the more you can break ties with the Gu family! With the Gu family in their current state, without you at home, they have no scruples, and who knows what they might do in the future!"
"Even if you're thinking of Brother Gu and the others, you have to completely break ties with the Gu family! Don't let yourself be implicated in the future!"
Xu Ningyan's words were not entirely unfounded. Based on her understanding of Gu Zhiyuan, he appeared calm and composed, but he had an excellent memory and was extremely vengeful.
The mother and her two children left the Gu family, which can be considered a way to minimize the damage, but the grievances Jiang Yuan suffered before will probably not be so easy for him to get over.
Given Gu Yong's style of helping Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui cover up the truth, it's only a matter of time before trouble comes to him once his opponents seize on his weakness.
Therefore, it's best to sever ties with the Gu family as soon as possible!
After all, this is still a special period.
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment: "But yesterday, when we were getting him to sign the divorce papers, we—"
Xu Ningyan winked at Jiang Yuan: "We said if you don't sign, we'll report you to Commander Gu's superiors! Didn't you not report him to his superiors? You didn't agree to tell the people who tried to persuade you, right? They didn't show any martial ethics when they were dealing with you and your children, so we don't need to repay evil with kindness, right, Auntie?"
Jiang Yuan blinked slowly, and then she seemed to understand.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan understood, Xu Ningyan didn't say anything more.
After Gu Zhiyuan and his two children left, Xu Ningyan was the only one left in the courtyard.
Xu Ningyan took out the pile of jewelry that Jiang Yuan had given her, placed them one by one on the coffee table, and carefully examined them.
Each one is adorned with precious gems, making them irresistible.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Xu Ningyan couldn't help but scream inwardly!
This trip to Beijing was definitely worthwhile! Putting everything else aside, the reward alone made it all worthwhile!
If she had known she would get these treasures, she could have just asked, "Can I have a dozen?" Don't ask, she just loves to rid the world of evil!
