"This... shouldn't be the case, right?" Zhao Yunxiang was stunned. Zhao Yunxiang was kind-hearted and had never thought of taking her anger out on others. Wang Biyun had been dead for six or seven years. How old were Gu Hongxing and Gu Xiaofang at that time? What could two and four-year-old children remember? What's more, Wang Biyun's death was what she deserved, and she was not wronged.
"Mom, I know you want to help them, but you have to see if you can help these people, right? You can help the two children of the Gu family, but don't be so heartless as to spend some money. Otherwise, you will be the one who is sad in the end." Zhou Yuanyuan was a little worried. There are not many ungrateful people in this world, but there are some! Her mother is so simple, what if the brothers and sisters of the Gu family are really not good people, how sad her mother will be?
"Ah?" Zhao Yunxiang was confused again. She just did such a small thing, why was Yuanyuan so worried?
Yes, Zhou Yuanyuan was indeed worried. She planned to find a place to retreat for a while. Daoyan Zhenjun's strength felt threatening to her. She planned to cultivate until she reached the Nascent Soul stage before emerging from seclusion. This way, she wouldn't be able to oversee Zhao Yunxiang as much. She didn't want her family to be harmed while she was away.
"Mom, no matter what you do, don't give yourself the chance to be sad..." Zhou Yuanyuan hugged Zhao Yunxiang and swallowed back the rest of her unspoken words. No matter who hurt her mother, her loved ones, she would definitely retaliate fiercely. To make this world full of peace and love, Zhao Yunxiang had better protect herself.
"Girl, mom is just taking care of the Gu siblings. In mom's heart, her own children are always the most important." Zhao Yunxiang poked Zhou Yuanyuan's head with her finger and said with amusement.
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang misunderstand that she was jealous of the Gu siblings, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile. Her mother! She was just so careless. No, she needed to teach her mother more real-life examples.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan chattered with Zhao Yunxiang about a host of past life incidents, including one about an elementary school student who tried to help an elderly woman who had fallen, only to be blackmailed by her family. Zhao Yunxiang was stunned. People in this era were more honest, and this was the first time she had heard of someone doing good deeds and then being bitten back.
Zhao Yunxiang was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Yuanyuan, I know what you said. I will do my best to avoid trouble. If the Gu siblings really resent our family when they grow up, I will accept it. I will not care about them because I am afraid of trouble. If anything happens to the two children, I will feel guilty to death."
Zhao Yunxiang's idea was simple: if you need help and I have the ability to help, I'll help you.
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang's clear mind, Zhou Yuanyuan stopped trying to persuade her. After all, she still had her daughter! She couldn't bring herself to limit Zhao Yunxiang's enjoyment for the sake of an uncertain future.
After the mother and daughter reached a consensus on the matter of the Gu brothers and sisters, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Zhao Yunxiang fell asleep in less than ten minutes, but Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't sleep. She was really curious why "Paradise on Earth" was returned to He Boqian's hands. It was obvious that Boss Hong and Cao Dabiao were cowards who would hold on to any profit they saw.
Zhou Yuanyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, her spiritual awareness spreading outward.
The He family mansion was completely quiet, but Zhou Yuanyuan saw that in several dark rooms, people lying on the beds had their eyes wide open and their ears perked up, listening to the noises in the living room downstairs.
In the living room, He Shumin was looking at the door frequently, as if waiting for someone.
Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual sense swept further away and saw a black sedan speeding towards the He family. Inside the car was He Shumin's eldest son, He Boqian.
As soon as He Boqian's car arrived at the door, He Shumin heard it in the living room. He raised his butt and wanted to stand up, but after hesitating for a moment, he sat back down.
He Boqian saw the lighted living room, frowned, and then slowly walked in. After entering the living room, the expression on his face changed immediately, and he smiled like a spring breeze and said to He Shumin, "Dad, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Hey, Boqian! Are you going to Cao's house?" He Shumin waved at He Boqian and said, "Come and sit for a while. Chat with Dad."
"Dad, I..." He Boqian stopped what he was about to say. The fact that he didn't move at all already expressed his answer very well: he didn't want to.
"Hey Boqian~! We haven't chatted for more than a month. Didn't you say that you wanted to be the mayor of Qing City? Dad has already mentioned this matter to the top leader. Although the leader didn't agree, it seems there is still a chance." He Shumin knew what He Boqian was thinking and quickly brought up the things that He Boqian cared about.
"Dad, I didn't say I wanted to go to Qing City. I said I wanted to go to Jin City." As expected, He Boqian got anxious. Jin City was close to Kyoto and a large, economically developed city. Compared to Jin City, Qing City was a destitute, desolate place. Being mayor of Qing City and being mayor of Jin City were huge differences.
"Huh? I heard Meining say you wanted to go to Qing City! Was she wrong, or am I old and deaf?" He Boqian feigned surprise, but inside he was practically bursting out laughing. He Meining was He Shumin's youngest daughter and his third sister. He Boqian and her had always been closer than his other siblings. If He Boqian wasn't comfortable saying something in person, He Meining would speak for him in front of He Shumin.
He Shumin knew, of course, that his eldest son wanted to go to Jin City, not Qing City. He Shumin and the top leadership had proposed that He Boqian go to Jin City for a few years to gain experience before returning to Jingdu for a better position. After all, He Boqian's current position held little promise, and not only was He Boqian dissatisfied, but even He Shumin wasn't.
He Shumin deliberately said the wrong thing because he couldn't bear to see that He Boqian had not taken him, his father, seriously during this period, and wanted to make He Boqian anxious.
Ever since He Shumin was "kidnapped" and taken home from "Paradise on Earth" by He Boqian, He Boqian had been avoiding her for over a month. Initially, He Shumin thought her son was busy, but as time went on, she naturally noticed some of He Boqian's dissatisfaction.
He Shumin didn't want his authority to be challenged by He Boqian. After all, he was still in this position, and the entire He family depended on He Shumin for its prosperity.
