“Yanqing and I will get married when it’s time. Do I have to consider Gu Zhichuan when I get married? Madam Gu, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to say for a long time. In the past, I tried to please and give in to you because of Gu Zhichuan. Now, I have nothing to do with the Gu family. Who are you to expect me to be obedient to you?”
Mrs. Gu’s face darkened.
She was already nice enough to talk to Lin Gantang, but she didn’t expect her temper to get worse.
“I don’t know what kind of bewitching drug you gave my son to make him lose his mind. You keep saying that it has nothing to do with the Gu family. Then why is your boyfriend targeting us!” Mrs. Gu questioned.
“Shuyue has already been sent abroad by her dad. Are you satisfied now?” Mrs. Gu was furious. “Now Gu Zhichuan is in a terrible state because of the company; it’s all thanks to you!”
Lin Gantang did not ask why Wen Yanqing was targeting the Gu family. She only needed to defend him in front of Mrs. Gu. Lin Gantang laughed. “There is a cause and effect. Why don’t you think about the cause of your family’s current situation? Blaming others? You’re a saint and make no mistakes, right?”
“Bah! You’re so sharp-tongued. Fortunately, my son didn’t marry you. Otherwise, you’ll drive me to an early grave!” Mrs. Gu stopped putting on a front.
Lin Gantang sneered. “Then help me thank Gu Zhichuan for not marrying me back then. Otherwise, I’ll have to suffer for the rest of my life with a mother-in-law like you.”
“You!” Mrs. Gu was used to being arrogant. She stretched out her hand and wanted to hit her.
Lin Gantang grabbed her hand and said sarcastically, “If my upbringing didn’t stop me, this slap would have landed on your face. You even know that your family’s company is in trouble? If my dad finds out that the Gu family bullied me and stands up for me, do you think Gu Zhichuan will be able to take it?” “Are you threatening me?”
“Go ahead and try!”
Mrs. Gu did not dare to. Once, the Gu and Lin families were evenly matched. If the Lin family got involved, their company would be in danger. If the company could not be saved, her good life would come to naught.
She berated Lin Gantang a few times, throwing up her hands and cursing as she turned to leave.
Gu Zhichuan did not tell Mrs. Gu the details of the company’s problems. Otherwise, would Mrs. Gu leave after a mere few words? She would be furious if she found out that her son had gone against the Wen family for a woman.
When Shi Muzhen saw the commotion, she immediately chased after Mrs. Gu without even looking at Lin Gantang.
When Mrs. Gu saw Shi Muzhen, who had caught up to her, she was irate. “It was your good idea to ask Lin Gantang to stay away from my son. Now, it’s useless. You made me suffer for nothing!”
Why was it useless? Now, you hate Lin Gantang even more, and she hates the Gu family even more. I’ve already achieved my goal.
Shi Muzhen hid her triumphant smile and said considerately, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Lin Gantang is a rich young lady. It’s too common for her to have a spoiled temper. Brother Gu doesn’t have to be with Lin Gantang. Didn’t he have other girlfriends in the past? Just let him get to know a few more women of the right age.”
Mrs. Gu tried to calm her anger. “You’re right. Gu Zhichuan is so busy right now. It’s best to have a woman take good care of him. Maybe they can develop some feelings for each other.”
Mrs. Gu sized Shi Muzhen up from head to toe. “I used to think that you were not good enough for Zhichuan. Now that I think about it, you’re the most suitable. When Auntie’s company is in trouble, everyone is avoiding us, but you’re different. What you want is definitely not my family’s money.”
“Money is an external object.” Shi Muzhen was very sincere.
However, she did not know that she was thinking that getting Gu Zhichuan was equivalent to getting the Gu family.. Who would care about this small benefit before them?
