Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Looking for Trouble Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Looking for Trouble It must have been Ning Wanru employing both kindness and authority, using sweet words to coax her into agreeing.
He truly didn’t know that they had discussed this matter before.
After all, Ning Wanru and her husband hadn’t been in contact for a long time.
He had been negligent, but this situation indeed needed resolving.
So he made a call to Gu Garden.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng had also learned of the situation.
Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide.
Such news had already spread throughout the circle, especially now that every household had a telephone. So it was normal for everyone to know about it in a short time.
Gu Qingfeng’s tone wasn’t very good.
Old Mr. Luo had always been a close and dear friend of his.
To say they were friends despite the age gap would be quite accurate.
The two had shared both joys and sorrows, and had faced adversity together before.
That bond was naturally different from others.
During the time when he was nearly reduced to a vegetative state, although the item that saved him was carved by Qiaoqiao, it was indeed him who had saved his life.
So, although his tone wasn’t good, he still said faintly, “Well then, I still have to congratulate you…”
Old Mr. Luo hurriedly responded, “Old Patriarch, when you say that, it’s like you’re slapping my face…”
Thus, he recounted the whole sequence of events and their causes to Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng murmured in disbelief, “How could Ning Wanru have saved Madam Luo all those years ago under the bayonets of the enemy?”
“Yes, back then, my wife witnessed it with her own eyes and experienced it firsthand. She gave her the Jade Pendant as a token and promised to do whatever she asked in the future. You know my wife isn’t that calculative–this must definitely be Ning Wanru using favor and pressure to seek repayment.”
A cold smile flickered in the depths of Gu Qingfeng’s heart.
The inside story of what happened back then is still unknown.
How could such a selfish person as Ning Wanru save someone?
It would be good enough if she didn’t harm anyone.
And that Luo Zhenyu’s wife is simply beyond description.
“Yes, Ning Wanru is now in dire straits, and of course, she needs a backer. So, marrying into your Luo Family benefits her in many ways–it not only irks me but also allows her to snag a wealthy husband. Killing two birds with one stone indeed,” Gu Qingfeng said, his words tinged with sarcasm.
Elder Luo’s face turned red as he earnestly said, “Don’t worry, this matter will be resolved.”
To say it will be resolved is one thing, but in the eyes of others who don’t know the full story, if the Luo Family reneges, then Gu Yalan will be seen as the weaker party, the one deserving sympathy.
It has always been throughout history.
Thus, public opinion would quickly shift to Gu Yalan’s side.
This situation wouldn’t be favorable for either the Luo Family or the Gu Family.
To perfectly resolve this matter, there really is no good solution.
Only then did Old Mr. Luo realize what a big trouble his wife had caused him.
At this time, Luo Fan was also troubled.
When he drove out, the multitude of households were already lit up.
In the distance, the neon lights flickered, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to form a dazzling sea of stars.
And yet, he roamed alone in this sea of stars.
But his heart felt somewhat cold and heavy.
His grandmother had caused him a big problem.
What seemed like a simple matter, was not so simple to settle.
He didn’t even know where Gu Yalan was now.
And even if he did see her, would he actually forcibly snatch the bracelet from her wrist?
