Chapter 1120 - Finally Moving House (2)

This was Second Uncle’s territory, and the family’s servants were all hired by Second Uncle. When Gu Jinxuan and the rest were in the room, they had been quarreling and arguing and had not kept their voices down. The butler happened to pass by and overheard part of their argument.

And reported it to Gu Jinhang.

Gu Qingyao glanced at Mo Beihan. “I didn’t expect Fifth Cousin to be so vicious!”

Mo Beihan laughed. “Looks like Fifth Cousin has inherited the Gu family’s viciousness. Although he may appear to be a loafer, actually, he can think clearly and he is much more decisive than Third Cousin.”

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Just as Second and Fourth Cousin say, Third Cousin is a good man. He’s really a very kind person.”

Gu Qingyao was rather happy to hear all these things.

“That’s good. I thought that Fifth Cousin had been misled by Third Aunt, but now it seems that he is very strong-minded. Much more so than the rest of Third Uncle’s family.”

…

The Gu family acted swiftly. A few days later, trouble began for the Zhou family that was situated far away from the capital.

The Zhou family’s oldest uncle had really been arrested. The second day after his arrest, Zhou Yaozhu got into trouble.

Grandma Zhou was so terrified that she hurriedly called Zhou Ping to ask the Gu family to get them released.

At that moment, Zhou Ping was still being guarded by Gu Jinxuan!

He had been to class for a few days, but when he judged that something was about to happen to the Zhous, he stayed home to wait.

When the phone rang, it was Gu Jinxuan who picked it up.

“Ping’er! What are you doing? Your older brother is in jail. You…”

“Grandma, it’s me!”

This surprised Grandma Zhou. “You’re… Little Five?”

Gu Jinxuan said, “That’s right! Grandma, it’s me, Xuan’er!”

“Where’s your mother? Quick, ask her to answer the phone. Your Oldest Uncle is in trouble, deep trouble!”

Gu Jinxuan said pitifully, “Grandma, don’t look for my mother. My mother has been locked up by the Gu family! You should have asked Oldest Uncle to restrain himself a little! Now you’ve gotten our family into deep trouble, and my mother might be kicked out of the Gu family. Wuwuwu, the wealth of the Gu family…”

Grandma Zhou was bewildered when she heard that!

“What did you say? Why would your mother suddenly be kicked out of the Gu family? She gave the Gu family four grandsons; why should they kick her out?”

Gu Jinxuan sobbed. “Grandma! Your thinking is too simplistic! The Gu family has other grandsons. In fact, the Gu family has plenty of grandsons. Besides, our family is not the most outstanding branch! Oldest Uncle and Second Uncle’s families are the most outstanding. My Second Uncle is the most powerful, and among the grandsons, Oldest Cousin and Second Cousin are the most capable. My younger brothers are still children, and my third brother can’t even compete with Oldest Cousin alone, much less Second Cousin.”

Gu Jinxuan did not give Grandma Zhou a chance to speak but babbled on, talking nonsense.

“Grandma, our family only managed to move to the capital because the rest of the family helped us. We even got a very nice house. My grandparents asked my younger cousin to give us money to buy furniture so we wouldn’t embarrass the rest of the family. Twenty thousand yuan! Mother gave you fifteen thousand yuan, then bought you so many presents. In the end, she didn’t have enough money to buy good furniture for the new house. When my grandparents and the rest found out, they were furious!

“Father, Third Brother and I don’t earn very much. Do you know how many years it would take for us to save twenty thousand yuan? The money belongs to my younger cousin’s mother. Wuwuwu, now the family has found out. Grandma was already embarrassed to take money from her daughter-in-law, but now our entire family feels too ashamed to face the Qiao family.. The Gu family has been deeply humiliated.”
