Chapter 1117: Fifth Cousin Is Quite Ruthless (5)
Third Uncle’s family was all very nice!
Third Uncle, Gu Yundong, and Third Cousin, Gu Jinlin were sincerely nice people. They were good-tempered and lacked the vicious streak present in Second Uncle’s family.
Now they were really going to act?
Zhou Ping was still shouting inside, “Mother, mother give me justice! They’ve gone too far. My family is all fine. They haven’t done anything. I just sent them a little money as an act of filial piety, and they want to send my older brother to jail. Mother, they’ve gone too far, too far!”
Wen Ruyu looked at Gu Jinxuan in disbelief.
Gu Jinxuan said with a straight face, “Grandma, don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense. She just wants you to suppress my uncle’s bad deeds. Really, it’s not a big deal. He only bullied someone. Grandma, you must not agree, or my uncle will get into the bad habit of expecting the Gu family to solve every problem, no matter how small!
“Our Gu family has been earning an honest living here in the capital. Why should he abuse our family’s power? The capital has so many important families. What if someone gets a hold over us? Our family has so many children. They need the Gu family’s protection to soar!
“Mother, don’t worry. Uncle will be fine. We’re just teaching him a lesson. My father cannot be involved in this, and that will make my uncle more wary. Don’t worry. When this is over, I’ll ask Third Brother to send Aunt and the cousins some money. They’ll be fine!”
No matter how Zhou Ping shouted, Gu Jinxuan acted as if she could not hear him. He continued to calmly reassure everyone. Even Gu Qingyao could see through the excuses that he made up.
They were all astute people. Everyone could tell.
Gu Jinxuan smiled heartlessly. “All right, Grandma, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don’t worry. My mother just can’t think straight. Let her think it over by herself, and she’ll figure it out. Go get some rest!”
After all he had said, everyone naturally chose to mind their own business.
It was just Zhou Ping’s family matters. Gu Yundong, Gu Jinlin and the others would deal with it. They must not interfere.
Everyone left one after another, and Zhou Ping continued to scream.
Gu Jinlin stood outside the door without a word.
Gu Jinxuan looked at his Third Brother. “Brother, you won’t become soft, will you?”
Gu Jinlin shook his head.
Gu Jinxuan said, “That’s right. My mother has been spoiled. This time, I’ll see whether she continues to let the Zhou family get away with so much.”
Gu Jinxuan frowned as he glanced at Gu Jinlin’s expression. He knew his older brother was a nice and very kind man.
He rolled his eyes and played his trump card. “Let me tell you, that Zhou Yaozhu once wanted to marry Yao Yao! He said he would bring Yao Yao into the Zhou family, and with her as a trump card, our mother would have a higher status in the Gu family. Our mother refused at first, but that Zhou Yaozhu kept coaxing, flattering, and harassing her. In the end, my mother was really tempted.”
Gu Jinlin felt as if his brain was about to explode. “Is… is what you’re saying true?”
“Of course it’s true. I heard it myself. I immediately gave that bastard Zhou Yaozhu a trashing.. My mother even blamed me for being too vicious. Hmph!”
