The Lu Residence.
It was 7am. Granny Lu had just returned from her morning exercise in the garden.
The news was on TV.
In accordance with Granny Lu’s daily routine, the servant handed her the phone and said, “Madam, something cropped up last night.”
Granny Lu tapped on QQ. “My dear granddaughter-in-law” was pinned as a favorite.
She smiled and threw up a peace sign to take a selfie. She sent it to Gu Mang and greeted her with a good morning text.
Then, she asked. “What happened?”
The servant followed Old Madam to the sofa and she poured a glass of water for Old Madam. “Sixth Master led people from the Criminal Investigation Department in seizing the Sang family’s residence.”
“What happened to the Sang family?” Old Madam did not even look up. She asked without much interest as she looked at her phone and refreshed constantly.
Usually, her precious granddaughter-in-law would reply instantly but today, she was rather slow. Could she still be asleep?
The servant said, “I hear from external sources that the company has not been handling things in a clear manner and they have committed a crime. The seizure of the Sang family residence was done very hastily. No one in the C.I.D. had heard of any investigations into the Sang family, but the evidence that Sixth Master had was really complete. There is no way so much evidence could be collected unless they had looked into them for months.”
Old Madam looked up at the servant. “A sudden seizure in the middle of the night?”
The servant nodded. “I don’t know if it was because the Sang family offended someone and got punished for it.”
Overnight, the Sang family’s world was turned upside down.
Old Madam looked down and thought deeply.
She turned to the servant and was about to ask something but she saw that the servant seemed to have something to say.
Old Madam softened her sharp eyes. “Speak up if you have something to say.”
The servant lowered her head slightly, and said cautiously, “There is also other news. Ms. Gu led Lu Wu and Red Scorpion into the Sang residence and took action against them. The girl from the Sang family was beaten up so badly that she was admitted into the hospital. She suffered very serious injuries.”
When Old Madam heard this, she paused in the middle of drinking her water. “How did she offend my granddaughter in-law?”
The servant did not expect Old Madam to be concerned about why Gu Mang had beaten the girl up instead of being concerned about how harsh Gu Mang was.
In fact, Old Madam did not even question why she used Red Scorpion for her private issues.
After being stunned for a moment, she answered, “The girl from the Sang family beat up Ms. Gu’s friend.”
Old Madam frowned. “Meng Jinyang?”
A long time ago, when Yu Shu mentioned Gu Mang for the first time, she had gained some insight into her friends. She knew that Gu Mang cared a lot about Meng Jinyang because she had had some negative experiences early in life.
“Yes,” the servant answered.
“How is Meng Jinyang now?” Old Madam looked down and glanced at her phone. Gu Mang still had not replied to her.
“She is in the hospital as well. Her injuries aren’t light either. I don’t know if she’s conscious now,” said the servant.
Old Madam put down her cup. There was a cold look on her face. “What about Chengzhou? Such a big thing happened to his girlfriend. Has he returned?”
“Third Young Master rushed back last night and even accompanied Ms. Gu to the police station.” She added, “Second Old Master went there last night as well.”
Old Madam was rather surprised to hear that the Second family went. “I always thought that Chengzhou and Ms. Gu had grudges with the Second family. As long as the Second family doesn’t cause any trouble, I won’t scold them. But I never expected them to do anything good.”
The servant broke into cold sweat. She remained silent..
Old Madam saw the servant’s expression and her smile stiffened. “Did he not go to help Ms. Gu but to cause trouble instead?”
The servant did not dare to utter a word.
Just then, there were urgent and heavy footsteps from outside the door.
“Second Master.” A servant who was sweeping the floor outside greeted the Second Master of the Lu family respectfully.
