Chapter 370: Rich and arrogant
Gu Qing and Gu Man in particular, it was very obvious that they looked like old ladies in their 40s or 50s before, but now they looked like beautiful ladies in their early 30s with charm, so when they appeared, they immediately amazed everyone.
Especially Lin Lijuan and Wen Yulan, they were extremely envious and jealous. Which woman doesn't want to be young and beautiful? The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Lin Lijuan also sarcastically said, "Now that she is rich, she is so arrogant."
"Rich? Is there as much as your great aunt's family?" Gu Qingshi asked with a disdainful attitude, obviously meaning that no one was as rich as Gu Qingyun's family.
"That's right," Gu Yinyin also echoed.
Gu Qingshi and Gu Yinyin were young and didn't know much. They only knew that Gu Man and Gu Qing's families were rich now, but they didn't know how much. They thought it was just a few hundred thousand.
"Qingshi, Yinyin, shut up." Gu Qingyang immediately scolded. He didn't want to offend Gu Ning and the others, so he naturally couldn't let his children talk nonsense.
Gu Qingshi and Gu Yinyin were not convinced, but they dared not disobey their father.
"So what if you're arrogant just because you're rich? Weren't you arrogant before? Keep on being arrogant if you have the ability!" Gu Ning retorted bluntly, with a haughty and arrogant attitude.
"You..." Lin Lijuan was suddenly choked with anger.
Gu Qingyun knew that Gu Ning had become bolder, but he didn't think she was that great. Seeing that she dared to refute her mother so arrogantly, he immediately became angry and said, "Gu Ning, you are so brave! You dare to talk to my mother like that."
"Gu Qingyun, who do you think you are? Why shouldn't I dare to talk to your mother like that?" Gu Ning sneered with ridicule, which further stimulated Gu Qingyun and embarrassed him.
"You..." Gu Qingyun stood up suddenly, looking like he was ready to fight.
"Okay, sit down." At this time, Gu Qingxiang spoke up. He didn't want to quarrel with Gu Ning and others. You know, now their two families are of the same mind! It's not good to offend anyone.
Because before coming, Gu Qingxiang had warned them not to target Gu Ning and his group as they did before, so Gu Qingyun had no choice but to listen to Gu Qingxiang and endure it for the time being.
"You all sit down too!" Gu Qingxiang looked at Jiang Xu and his group and said.
Then, Jiang Xu and his group sat down.
As soon as we sat down, the food started to be served. The dishes had been ordered a long time ago, but not all the people were there, so we kept waiting!
And this time, Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, nor did she drive them out. However, everyone knew what Mrs. Gu was thinking. She just wanted to retreat in order to advance.
Sure enough, before they had even taken a few bites of the meal, Mrs. Gu spoke up: "Son-in-law Jiang, you guys are really good at hiding your true identity! If the old lady hadn't run into you at the restaurant, I wouldn't have known that you've become a big boss! What? Now that you have money, you don't recognize us as your relatives?"
Mrs. Gu's tone was majestic and thorny, but the majesty lacked momentum, and the thorns were very real.
Although Jiang Xu is new to the business world, he is no longer as weak and vulnerable as before. In addition, Gu Ning's advice to be strong and not to back down, otherwise the other party will take advantage of the situation. In order to protect his family, he has become strong.
So in response to Mrs. Gu's questioning, Jiang Xu calmly refuted: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? If we don't recognize you as relatives, why are we here today? And there is nothing to hide. Haven't we always lived our own lives? Why do we need to publicize how we live at home?"
What I mean is that there is no need to tell outsiders like you whether my family has money or not.
"You..." Old Mrs. Gu was furious. Although she knew that what Jiang Xu said made sense, she just couldn't accept it: "So what you mean is that now that you have money, you won't show filial piety to me, your mother-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Gu still felt that she also had a share of Jiang Xu's money.
"Mother-in-law, we have always been very filial to you! We prepare gifts and red envelopes for you during every festival. Isn't that enough?" Jiang Xu asked.
Yes, although Gu Qing and Gu Man's families were poor, they would give gifts and red envelopes to Old Madam Gu during festivals. Although it was not much, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. You are rich now, so do you still want to send such small gifts?" Old Mrs. Gu was furious. She had never liked those things. Of course, as greedy as she was, she would accept them even if she didn't like them.
"Mother-in-law, are you short of gifts and money? My eldest brother's family is so rich, they shouldn't be short of these things!" Jiang Xu said. His words were obviously full of doubt, questioning whether Gu Qingxiang was short of money for Old Lady Gu.
Of course, Jiang Xu said these words on purpose. He knew that no matter how stingy Gu Qingxiang was, he would never treat Old Lady Gu badly. Although Gu Qingxiang was not very kind to his brothers and sisters, he was still filial to his parents.
So what he said was just a satire on Old Lady Gu.
"You..." Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost choked. Gu Qingxiang naturally had everything he needed from her, but that didn't mean she didn't want more!
"Brother-in-law, what you said is not right. Even if mom has everything she needs, as her son-in-law, shouldn't you be filial to her?" Lin Lijuan immediately chimed in, as if Jiang Xu had really done something wrong.
"Oh! Then sister-in-law, please tell me what you and your brother gave to your mother's family so I can learn from them." Jiang Xu asked modestly.
Jiang Xu naturally knew that with Gu Qingxiang's stingy personality, it was impossible for him to give anything to the Lin family. And Mrs. Gu was selfish, so it was even more impossible for her to let Gu Qingxiang and Lin Lijuan give anything to the Lin family. So he said this with other intentions.
That is, Gu Qingxiang and Old Lady Gu didn't give anything to the Lin family, so why should he give something to the Gu family? When Old Lady Gu heard this, she thought that Gu Qingxiang and Lin Lijuan had given something to the Lin family, and she immediately got angry and asked, "Lijuan, you took my Gu family's money to give to the Lin family?"
How could she take her Gu family's things and give them to the Lin family? "Mom, I didn't." Lin Lijuan immediately denied it. She did take them, but she did it secretly. How could she dare to do it openly?
Although Lin Lijuan denied it, Mrs. Gu still warned her: "Listen to me, you are married to the Gu family, so you belong to the Gu family. You are not allowed to take anything from the Gu family to the Lin family."
"Yes," Lin Lijuan replied, even though she disagreed in her heart.
"Ha!" Hearing this, Gu Ning laughed, and his laugh was very ironic: "Since she married into the Gu family, she is a member of the Gu family. Things of the Gu family cannot be taken to the Lin family, so why are you thinking about things of the Jiang family! Second Aunt married into the Jiang family, but she is a member of the Jiang family!"
