“Oh, hello, dear daughter, you’re amazing! Wow, marrying into a noble family makes such a difference. Of all my children, you’re the most useful. Wow, darling daughter! I’ll depend on you for the rest of my life!”
Zhou Ping enjoyed this feeling. Because she had grown up in an environment that favored boys, she was addicted to being affirmed by her family.
“Don’t worry, Mother. I will be filial and give you a good life.”
“Great, great, great! My daughter is so capable. Also… when will your older brother and Yaozhu be released?”
Zhou Ping smiled, “Mother, I’ve recently found a way to release them. Don’t worry. I’ll get them released now!”
Grandma Zhou was delighted to hear that. “Wonderful, wonderful. You’re so capable! You’re so capable!”
Grandma Zhou praised Zhou Ping again. Zhou Ping was so delighted she almost forgot herself.
After she hung up, she immediately contacted a wealthy lady that she had heard of over the last few days and explained the situation.
When the lady heard that it was the Gu family’s daughter-in-law, she almost prostrated herself. The Gu family represented heights that they could only dream about in this lifetime!
She immediately promised to settle everything.
Then she made another call and contacted another person.
…
It was almost the end of the year, and Gu Jinhang and the others were on leave. Although it was their school break, people like Gu Jinhang were never on leave. As the Gu family’s future successor, Gu Jinhang was very busy.
Fourth Cousin Gu Jinfeng had finally come home just in time to spend the new year at home.
Gu Jinhang was chatting with Gu Jinfeng in the study when the phone suddenly rang!
Gu Jinhang picked up. What he heard reduced him to a stunned silence for a long while before he spoke.
“Is it true?”
“Absolutely true! Second Master, the Zhou family is going around boasting about it! Their oldest son and grandson are both back.”
“Who did it?”
The other side mumbled for a while, then finally told him what he had found out.
Gu Jinhang was dumbfounded!
For the first time in his life, the usually meticulous Second Master Gu could not maintain his cool!
This was the first time Gu Jinfeng was seeing this expression on Second Brother’s face. “What’s the matter?”
Gu Jinhang replied, “If I tell you, you might not believe me. Our Second Aunt is truly amazing!”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Jinhang recounted everything. Gu Jinfeng was also dumbfounded!
A dead silence fell in the study. The two brothers remained in shock for a long time before they recovered their wits.
Gu Jinhang picked up the phone. This was such a major incident that he must tell Third Uncle’s family.
Gu Jinfeng said, “Are you going to tell Third Uncle first, or our father?”
Gu Jinhang glanced at him and suddenly said, “I’m telling Little Five first!”
It was the end of the year, and everyone was on leave. Gu Jinxuan was in his room thinking about his plans for the coming year when the phone on his table suddenly rang.
He picked it up. “Hello!”
When he heard the voice on the other end, he felt his mind go blank!
He sat there dumbly for a long time. When he recovered his wits, he rushed out of the room. He erupted in rage as he charged into the living room. Zhou Ping had gotten up to get melon seeds from the dining table, and he rushed over and violently grabbed her collar.
“You’re crazy! Have you gone crazy? Do you want us all to die? Do you, do you, do you?”
He screamed as he shook Zhou Ping by the collar in a frenzy.
