Zhong Qianqian’s euphoria kept her talking endlessly that Jiang Shuwan did not have any chances of intercepting her after Zhong Qianqian picked up her call.
Jiang Shuwan said, “There’s a reason why they treat you so well.”
Zhong Qianqian was stunned. “What?”
“Qianqian, are you alone right now? Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone?”
“Yes.”
“You should be mentally prepared for what comes next. What Mommy wants to tell you is very important. You must remember to keep it a secret and not let anyone know.”
Zhong Qianqian’s expression had already turned grim, ready to listen to what her mother said with a serious face.
Therefore, Jiang Shuwan told Zhong Qianqian about the serial arrest of Zhong Kuijun, Jiang Hanlin, and Jiang Hongyang, including the warning Zhong Kuijun gave them before he was arrested. She also included her realization that Zhong Nuannuan already knew that Zhong Nuannuan was not a member of the Jiang family.
After saying that, Jiang Shuwan told Zhong Qianqian, whose face was already pale, that Gu Mingzhe chose her because he thought she was Zhong Nuannuan. The reason why he treated her so well was to get more from her. At the same time, she told Zhong Qianqian that if her guess was correct, Pu Yu should be the daughter of a first-tier wealthy family.
What Zhong Qianqian had to do now was to immediately put all her cards on the table with Gu Mingzhe and ask Gu Mingzhe to help her find the power backing Zhong Nuannuan.
After finding who was backing Zhong Nuannuan, Zhong Qianqian must quickly confirm the nature of Zhong Nuannuan’s power. If that influence was powerful and protective of their own, Zhong Qianqian could get her family to get rid of Zhong Kuijun, and then get rid of Zhong Nuannuan.
If the influence backing Zhong Nuannuan was not a powerful and protective one, then she should come up with a way to save Zhong Kuijun. Once Zhong Kuijun got out and all went well, he would definitely not want Zhong Nuannuan to ruin his good life. When that time came, Zhong Kuijun would probably deal with Zhong Nuannuan himself.
Zhong Qianqian hung up and was utterly stupefied.
Brother Mingzhe was with her because of Zhong Nuannuan and not because he liked her.
No wonder no one in the Gu family criticized her after she did something wrong.
Hmph! A family of b*tches!
They even told Zhong Qianqian to make herself at home since they were already family.
Pfft!
Although Zhong Qianqian was a complete idiot, she still possessed the basic ability to think. Soon enough, she finally connected all the dots.
Previously, when Gu Mingzhe was still in Jiang District, he despised her. However, after he became the young master of a third-tier wealthy family in Emperor District, he came back to woo her for no reason and even claimed that she was his first love.
However, after thinking about it, she realized that he had not even looked at her once before.
Moreover, after getting together with her, he mentioned the necklace that Pu Yu left behind that she wore on her neck twice. So, he must have treated her well because he knew about Pu Yu’s identity.
The Four Wealthiest Families in Camino could not be compared to ordinary wealthy families.
Not only did they have more money than the average second or third-tier wealthy families, but they also monopolized the most lucrative fields. These wealthy families were also involved in military and political matters—they even held important positions. It was not something a family like the Gu family could compare to.
The current Gu family despised the Jiang family. However, in comparing the Gu family to the four first-tier wealthy families, the difference between the Gu family and the Jiang family was far greater than the difference to any of those first-tier families.
After all, there were at least hundreds of second-tier wealthy families in Camino, if they combined those from Sea District, G District, and Z District.
Needless to say, the third-tier wealthy families were countless.
However, the Four Wealthiest Families had always remained in the top four.
