Fortunately, Li Rong was nearby. This devilishly handsome man was always so reliable, which reassured Gu Sang somewhat.
Gu Sang shopped there until very late before finally buying some food and clothes. After buying these things, she parted ways with the old man, who then went home. Gu Sang also prepared to leave, noticing that the items were quite heavy and cold, and realized she needed a new coat to wear, otherwise she would freeze.
Gu Sang stopped at a fabric shop. She wanted to buy a cotton-padded coat. The quality of the coat was much better than the clothes here, and the fabric was also better. Gu Sang looked at the fabric shop and felt a surge of joy. However, Gu Sang still wanted to pay first because the old man had all her purchases. If she paid for the clothes now, he would definitely tell her that they were fake, and she would be in trouble. It was better to pay now and figure out a solution on her way home.
So Gu Sang went to the counter to get her money. But the clerk shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, young lady, this shop was opened here by our boss. Our boss's rule is that if you buy something on his turf, you have to pay first. Do you see if we have this item here? No, right? Hehe, hehe." The clerk looked helpless.
"Uh." Gu Sang felt uncomfortable when she heard the clerk say that to her, but she couldn't do anything about it and could only stand there.
Gu Sang was feeling awkward outside, but inside it was quite lively.
"Oh dear, this person, really, if you can't afford it, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Buying so much stuff, how many taels of silver does this cost? I think you shouldn't stay here, hehe, you should hurry home." The shop assistant said to Gu Sang.
Gu Sang felt embarrassed when the shopkeeper spoke to her like that, but she didn't know how to explain herself. Gu Sang just stood there with her head down and didn't move. Seeing Gu Sang like this, the shopkeeper became even more unscrupulous in mocking her.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph! I think you should just go home and farm. This little place isn't suitable for a young lady like you," the waiter continued to mock Gu Sang.
Hearing the waiter's sarcasm, Gu Sang raised her head and said to him, "Heh, I think you'd better shut up. Let me tell you, I'm still a lady of status."
"Oh, oh, so you're a young lady, hehe, hehe." The waiter said to Gu Sang. Gu Sang was even angrier after hearing the waiter's words, but she couldn't express it.
"Hehe, hehe," the guy said to Gu Sang.
Gu Sang ignored the shop assistant and turned to walk towards her car. However, she suddenly remembered something and said to the shop assistant, "Oh right, I'll leave this here. Remember to keep it safe for me." After saying that, Gu Sang walked over to Li Rong.
Seeing Gu Sang approach, Li Rong said to her, "Hehe, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, haha, it's just that I bought a lot of things here today, so I wanted you to help me pack them up," Gu Sang said to Li Rong.
"Hehe, no problem, I'll keep them for you. But you still have to give these things back to me. These things cost me a lot of money, and I'm quite poor," Li Rong said to Gu Sang.
“Okay, no problem. Don’t worry about it,” Gu Sang said to Li Rong.
Li Rong smiled at Gu Sang. Seeing that Gu Sang's expression wasn't good, Li Rong asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?" Li Rong looked at Gu Sang with worry.
"It's nothing, nothing happened," Gu Sang said to Li Rong with a forced smile.
"Look how pale you are, and you still say you're fine," Li Rong said to Gu Sang.
"Really, nothing's wrong, haha," Gu Sang said to Li Rong.
"Alright, alright, since you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I won't force you. I'll take you home now. I'll take you wherever you want to go. I won't force you," Li Rong said to Gu Sang.
"Thank you." After saying that, Gu Sang got into Li Rong's carriage. Li Rong drove the carriage towards the Gu family. Gu Sang kept looking out the window, lost in thought.
Upon arriving at the Gu family residence, Gu Sang had just jumped off the carriage when she saw a large crowd gathered at the gate, all members of the Gu family, watching. When Madam Yang saw Gu Sang return, she called out to her, "So you finally decided to come back?"
Yang shouted at Gu Sang. Seeing Gu Sang return, Yang was furious and yelled at her. Yang's voice was loud, and everyone present heard it.
"Oh, who do we have here? It's Gu Sang. What are you doing back? Are you back to sell clothes again?" Madam Yang said to Gu Sang.
Gu Sang ignored it.
Yang said disdainfully, "Look at her attitude. She's so arrogant and domineering towards me. What gives her the right to treat us like this? She doesn't care about our family at all, and she won't even share the money."
"Alright, that's enough. She's not your granddaughter-in-law yet. We still need her. I don't want to have a conflict with her," Gu's mother said to Yang. Although Yang was very angry when she heard her mother's words, she held back and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Alright, you don't need to act anymore. I won't let you bully me, I won't let you hurt me. Hmph, just you wait, one day I'll let you experience what it's like to lose a loved one, hahahaha, hahahaha." Gu Sang said to the Gu family, then turned and left.
As soon as Gu Sang turned and left, the Gu family members dispersed. Yang Shi, still unwilling to give up, said, "Gu Sang, now that you're rich and powerful, you've forgotten about the Gu family, haven't you? It was hard for you to split those dozen or so shops. Your second uncle's daughter still needs a dowry. Without us, where would you be? You ungrateful wretch!"
Hearing Yang's words, Gu Sang stopped and looked at her, saying, "Yang, don't push your luck. These dozen or so shops are rightfully yours. Besides, your Gu family owes my family money, and now you want it back? Heh. Don't dream about it. I won't let you get those shops, not even if I gave them to you. I'm telling you, don't even think about getting those shops back."
