Finally, it was Chen Yunping who helped Mother Gu out. “I have a gathering tomorrow. Why don’t you come with? You know some them. There’s Qian Jinglan, Back then, you two were the school flowers. There is also your old neighbors Ge Meitong and the others.”

Mother Gu was in a good mood and had been in good spirit as of late. Her eyes lit up all of a sudden. “Yes, I haven’t seen them in a while. Rumor had it that Qian Jinglan is also divorced?”

She had resumed socializing and had heard some about what had been going on with her old friends.

There were so many of them. Some of them would inevitably be divorced. Then there were those who were only still married on paper.

When the room next to them finally quieted down, Qin Ruhai slowly straightened out his white robe and showed the couple to his office.

“So now he’s after the Gu’s family fortune?”

Gu Shishi did not use his name but both men knew who she was referring to.

Booted out by Mother Huo and his right to heir taken away from him, at least for the time being.

Huo Wencheng just turned around and worked with Gu Wushuang to take over Gu Jiangxin’s territory!

He threatened Gu Jiangxin to give up his control over his company and even a large portion of the Gu’s fortune with the 10-year sentence. She wondered whether Gu Jiangxin would give in in the end.

Gu Jiangxin knew very well that as bad as the situation right now, as long as he could hang in there, he would catch a break sooner or later.

He did not evade tax, after all.

The most he had done was to give some gifts to a few officials in the past. Now that these individuals had already transferred away. Whoever wanted to look into these would need to be mindful of these individuals’ current positions. They may not leave no stones unturned and kill all grasshoppers on the same string.

The investigation would naturally halt when they run into someone that they couldn’t touch.

“Uncle, I’ve heard that you have infuriated Mayor Liu by giving him a painting?”

Gu Shishi was impressed.

Gu Wushuang, who was a white lotus before, had certainly been blackening.

She was ruthless and she could see the big picture!

One must admit that she was bolder than many men!

An adopted daughter who was not blood related was attempting to take over even though Gu Jiangxin had children of his own!

Gu Jiangxin, who was saved just in time during the first four golden hours, could not speak smoothly but his volume was not low.

“You, you.. unfilial girl!”
