Knowing full well that many things are impossible, they don't try to persuade others, and then enjoy the benefits without a care in the world.
Therefore, while the old man wouldn't actually lay a hand on Gao Ming, he wouldn't treat him gently either.
"Madam Gao, please calm down so that we can have a proper conversation."
Being kept at least half a meter away by bodyguards, Old Lady Gao could do whatever she wanted, but she was powerless to do so.
The old man's words made Old Lady Gao's sinister eyes flash with venom once more:
"What else is there to discuss?"
Having witnessed the events of the past, Old Lady Gao was no fool; she clearly understood that the Gu family had no intention of agreeing to the two conditions she had proposed.
However, Granny Gao didn't just choose one of these two options; the person she rescued earlier gave her a third choice.
Since all three choices ultimately led to the same result, Grandma Gao calmed down and stopped panicking.
For Granny Gao, wealth and luxury were everything.
Even her own son, Gao Ming, is someone the old lady, who was initially anxious about, now doesn't even glance at.
Having been observing the changes in Old Madam Gao's expression, Ye Wanying frowned slightly.
Something's not right, something's really not right!
For a moment, I couldn't say anything.
Not long after Gu Ziling left, the old man's bodyguard came in. It was obvious from the slightest clue that he had investigated something.
But why is this old lady so emboldened?
The old man waved to the bodyguard, who then released the old woman.
"please."
Grandma Gao sat back down in her previous spot.
"Let's not beat around the bush. Considering the kindness of the Gao family in taking in my child back then, the Gu family will accept the child support you're demanding, Madam Gao!"
"You're willing to give a million?" the old lady asked, somewhat shocked.
The old man laughed: "Of course, as I said before, the Gu family isn't unreasonable!"
Indeed, a man of such high standing as Gu Jia wouldn't be so stingy.
The old lady had already quickly calculated in her mind that once she got the million, she would go to the capital, where that important person was waiting for her.
After all, it's easier to get things done when you're closer.
But he clearly disagreed before, so why did the old man of the Gu family suddenly agree?
It's rare to see Old Lady Gao being so clever.
But a million!
It was incredibly exciting. The old lady clearly sensed something, but she still became engrossed in the money.
At that time, one million was definitely equivalent to tens of millions in wealth in later generations.
"Good, old man is straightforward, no wonder you are the head of the Gu family!"
Ye Wanying's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly; she wanted to speak, but the man beside her stopped her.
"Don't worry, the old man isn't stupid."
Since the old man has already made his statement, he must have his own deeper meaning.
Ye Wanying narrowed her eyes slightly, but ultimately remained silent.
Over there, the old man and the old lady Gao had resumed their conversation.
Gao Dan called out to the bodyguards, then took his wife's wrist and went out.
Outside the Gao family's house, away from the villagers who were watching, Ye Wanying asked directly:
"What does Grandpa want to do?"
Seeing his wife's unusually anxious, cat-scratching expression, Gao Dan chuckled softly:
"You really want to know?"
"Nonsense, just say it if you know!"
At this point, they were still hiding it.
cough.
Gao Dan cleared his throat:
"You guessed right, the old man is cooperating with Gu Ziling's side."
Um?
Ye Wanying, of course, hadn't forgotten the scene of the bodyguard whispering in the old man's ear after Gu Ziling left.
