“Zhenghong, how can you say that! We’re a family after all, and you’re the richest among us. Shouldn’t you help us when we need your help?” Zhou Zhengtang argued.
Selfish people would never care about others’ feelings, and Gu Ning was annoyed hearing that.
“My money has nothing to do with you, and I’ve given you enough! None of you helped me when I needed your help,” Zhou Zhenghong said.
Although Zhou Zhenghong already had no hope for his older brother and younger sister, he still felt hurt when he thought of what they had done to him.
Luckily, Zhou Zhenghong had his principles, and he wouldn’t give in this time.
Zhou Zhengtang, however, started to criticize Zhou Zhenghong. “Zhenghong, why are you so mean? Aren’t you rich again now?”
“You’re too shameless to realize your faults. I won’t buy a house, or a car for your son. If you stop bothering me, we can still be brothers. However, if you continue to affect my life, I’ll end my relationship with you!” Zhou Zhenghong said. After that, he directly hung up on Zhou Zhengtang.
Zhou Zhengtang was mad and called Zhou Zhenghong back, but Zhou Zhenghong refused to answer his calls.
Zhou Zhengtang’s wife, who stood beside him asked, “How is it?”
“He just hung up on me, and refused to buy a house and a car for Mingkang!” Zhou Zhengtang complained in anger.
He never helped Zhou Zhenghong when Zhou Zhenghong needed him the most, but he always turned to Zhou Zhenghong for money once Zhou Zhenghong was rich.
“What? How could he be so cold-blooded! Several million yuan is nothing for him. Why can’t he pay the bills for us?” Zhou Zhengtang’s wife said, making it sound as if Zhou Zhenghong owed them a lot of money. She was as shameless as her husband.
“What should we do now?” She asked again.
“I don’t know. Zhou Zhenghong just told me that he would directly cut off his relationship with us if we continue to bother him,” Zhou Zhengtang said.
“If he’s unwilling to help us, he isn’t qualified to be your younger brother!” Zhou Zhengtang’s wife said in annoyance. She took it for granted that Zhou Zhenghong should help them whenever they needed his help.
Actually, if they were sick and needed medical treatment, Zhou Zhengtang wouldn’t hesitate to help them.
“I’ll see whether I can stop him at his jewelry store,” Zhou Zhengtang said. He was unwilling to give up.
…
At the same time, Zhou Zhenghong took a long breath in to calm himself down.
“I’m terribly sorry, boss,” Zhou Zhenghong walked back and said to Gu Ning.
“It’s fine,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t ask further about Zhou Zhenghong’s family affairs, but simply said, “If you need my help, feel free to tell me.”
“Thanks, boss,” Zhou Zhenghong said, although he didn’t know why Gu Ning suddenly said that.
Gu Ning stayed in the factory for a while longer, then left. It was time to have dinner and Zhou Zhenghong invited Gu Ning to dine together, but she declined because she needed to pick up Gao Yi and Qiao Ya at the airport.
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya didn’t go to Burma with her last time, and had left to have a short vacation.
Coincidentally, Gu Ning ran into Situ Ye and Chu Xuanfeng before she could see Gao Yi and Qiao Ya at the airport.
She hadn’t seen, nor contacted Situ Ye for a long time, and she felt that he looked haggard.
Something terrible had happened in the Qing Gang recently. Two of Situ Ye’s henchmen were assassinated within days. One was killed, while the other was handicapped, so he was investigating it these days. He got the result today, and found out that it was caused by the competition within the gang, and many other members were involved in it.
It wasn’t an easy thing to deal with, and Situ Ye felt exhausted.
In fact, Situ Ye didn’t see Gu Ning in the beginning, but Chu Xuanfeng noticed Gu Ning and told him afterwards.
When Situ Ye saw Gu Ning, he was excited and seemed to be refreshed.
“Hi, Gu Ning, what are you doing here? Did you know that I’d come to City G today so you’re here to pick me up?” Situ Ye joked.
He only joked with Gu Ning.
