Chapter 320: Chapter 320: People Die for Money, Birds Die for Food Chapter 320: Chapter 320: People Die for Money, Birds Die for Food She hadn’t mentioned it before because discussing these matters over the phone was simply inconvenient.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew she would soon return, so she had held back some things, saving them to tell her family face to face.
Gu Zishu also uncharacteristically listened earnestly.
Gu Tianfeng was shocked; he had just found out that his book had been suppressed by Gu Yajing.
And Gu Yajing turned out to be the deputy director of the magazine.
Of course, she had been removed from her post now.
Moreover, Gu Cheng’s eldest son was the newly appointed Secretary Gu of Qingshui County,
a young and praised official known for his willingness to do substantial work for the common people.
But given this, had he been involved in the fake Public Security incident last time?
Sun Chuxia was still imprisoned.
It was said that although the Sun family didn’t plead for her, they did get her a lawyer.
Captain Zhou told him that she might not get a heavy sentence, as she had taken the initiative to turn herself in.
After all, the law has such provisions.
Since such provisions existed, they must be enforced.
At this moment, Gu Tianfeng also roughly understood much in his heart.
Since ancient times, it has been said that people die for wealth as birds die for food.
The various signs from Gu Cheng’s family indicated that they were apprehensive about his presence.
If they were apprehensive, who knew what they might do?
Thus, the Imperial Capital seemed fraught with danger.
He wasn’t worried about himself; he was worried about his wife and children.
What upset him even more was that for fear of not making things clear over the phone, some matters he had just learned about, and before this, Qiaoqiao had borne them all alone.
While everyone’s expressions were grave, Gu Zishu’s eyebrows shot up, his youthful face full of defiance.
He said to Gu Tianfeng, “Dad, you are all scared, aren’t you?”
Gu Tianfeng was taken aback, then shook his head, “No, just worried.”
“There’s no need to worry. My grandfather is the biological son of Great Grandfather. We’re heading to the Imperial Capital; the bad guys should be the ones scared and worried,” Zishu said.
Gu Zishu paused and then added, “We haven’t done anything wrong, so why worry? Plus, we have Great Grandfather and Great Grandma.”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, determination flashing across his face, “Don’t worry, I’ve grown up, and I’ll protect everyone.”
Gu Zishu’s words, while not of much substance, lightened the atmosphere somewhat.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes flickered, and she thought to herself…
The tree desires stillness but the wind will not cease.
Moreover, once an arrow is shot, it does not return.
In her previous life, not going to the Imperial Capital and not returning to the Gu family had brought disaster all the same.
Therefore, in this life, with so many advantages on their side, they would not encounter trouble again.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, pinching her little sister’s tense little face, and said in a relaxed tone, “I’m just putting the ugly words up front. As long as we’re aware, that’s all that matters.”
As the head of the family, Gu Tianfeng slowly began, “Qiaoqiao and Zishu are right, being aware is what counts, but you must remember what I’ve told you.”
At this point, Gu Tianfeng paused, then continued, “No matter how wealthy the life that lies immediately before you, remember not to be swayed by honor or disgrace, to remain as calm as the light clouds and gentle breeze…”
This was Gu Tianfeng’s principle. He would not let his children feel an ounce of inferiority even in poverty.
And now that they were wealthy, he was even less likely to let his children develop arrogant and extravagant thoughts.
