Gu Jinxuan’s heart grew cold!
She had been bullied so badly, but she was still thinking of rescuing his oldest uncle. She had not considered that the Gu family had forbidden her to do that, or that her son might displease the heads of the Gu family, and be deserted or abandoned?
Gu Jinxuan asked coldly, “Will Grandma will be nicer to you if I rescue Oldest Uncle?”
Zhou Ping was taken aback, then delighted. “Yes, yes, she certainly will. Jinxuan, I’m begging you. Can you rescue your oldest uncle and the rest as soon as possible? Please?”
Gu Jinxuan asked, “Was Grandma nice to you before my oldest uncle and the rest were arrested?”
Zhou Ping kept quiet.
“Why don’t you say something? You say that you can’t take it much longer and asked me to rescue my oldest uncle? Which is to say that once my oldest uncle is rescued, you will have a better life? How about the past? Did you have a good life?”
Zhou Ping looked at Gu Jinxuan for a long time without speaking.
“L… Jinxuan, your grandma is just in a bad mood because your oldest uncle and the rest were arrested, that’s why she treats me like that. If you rescue them, she’ll be fine. All right? Jinxuan, Jinxuan, help me, please save them!”
Gu Jinxuan turned angrily and left.
“Jinxuan… Jinxuan…”
Gu Jinxuan went back to the place he was staying. He was livid.
The person working for him came out to see him. Gu Jinxuan looked at him and said angrily, “Go and make some arrangements. Find some village hooligans to make trouble for the Zhou family. Their men are in prison, and the Gu family has abandoned them, so they can bully the Zhou family. Teach
them a good lesson.”
The man was shocked but said obediently, “Yes, Fifth Master!”
Gu Jinxuan was really angry that day. After all, she was his mother. He did not want to see her continue in her misguided ways.
The Gu family was really powerful. Many members of noble families used their family’s power to dabble in gray areas, but they never went overboard. As long as the family remained in power, it would not cause any big problems.
But the Gu family was different. The Gu family was governed very strictly, and the sons and grandsons were all rigorously disciplined. They were forbidden to do such things. The Gu family did not mind if they used the family’s power to obtain some benefits. In fact, it was expected of them.
After all, their men had worked so hard to create a better environment for their sons and grandsons.
But if they condoned Zhou Ping’s wrongdoing, there would be a next time, and then a next. The Gu family would never permit this to carry on.
Gu Jinxuan knew that if he wanted to protect his mother, he must make her change completely.
If she could not change, then he must frighten her so much that she would never dare to do such a thing again!
He waited here for so many days and watched the Zhou family bully her and vent their anger on her. He was waiting. He was waiting for Zhou Ping to give up on the Zhou family and beg him to let her go back to the Gu family.
But after so many days, she still refused to realize the error of her ways!
Hmph!
Gu Jinxuan was prepared to act harshly. He knew what his grandma was like. She was used to throwing her weight around. If the villagers bullied her, she would not be able to accept it.
But as an old woman, she would be helpless. In the end, she could only vent her anger on his mother. He wanted to see how long his mother could stand it?
The Zhou house was in turmoil, but over in the Mo house, everything was perfectly harmonious.
Mo Beihan watched Gu Qingyao’s stomach grow every day. Every day, he hoped that his child would be born soon.
Gu Qingyao was sunning herself in front of the French windows and sewing clothes for her child. She looked at the man and smiled. “Stop looking. Even if you keep on looking, he’ll only be born in a month’s time.”
‘Mo Beihan was rather impatient.. He pressed against Gu Qingyao and said, “Will you be able to spend time with me again after he’s born?”
