"Otherwise, why do you think Nianhua is living at the Su Family?" Pei Yicheng smiled and looked at Pei Yining. It was not just her; even when he first heard the news, he was thoroughly shocked.
The Xu Family was already reluctant to marry their daughter to him. Both of his brothers-in-law watched him as if he were a thief. Now, with two more brothers-in-law and the newly-reunited Su Jinrong and Jiang Wanru, it felt like two mountains had been added. His road to winning back his wife seemed even more arduous.
"Oh my god!"
Pei Yining stood there in shock, even feeling that the delicious food in her hand had lost its taste. She tried to digest the news, looked at Pei Yicheng sympathetically, and said, "Bro, Dad has always thought Nianhua doesn’t match you. Now, I think Dad should worry instead that we don’t match their family!"
Pei Yicheng: "..."
...
South City.
Gu Hai had just been snubbed by Boss Wang, and was feeling quite frustrated. The Gu Family textile factory, once thriving, now fell into decline, with a large pile of textiles sitting unsold in the warehouse.
Even though Gu Mingzhu had classmates helping out, the amount of textiles from the Gu Family was no small number. Relying solely on classmates to help consume it was simply not feasible.
Jin Yuanbao was very willing to help Gu Mingzhu, but the Jin Family was not. The Jin Family wasn’t short of money; spending a little on the woman their son liked was not an issue. However, if it meant the son would give it all up to help, the Jin Family couldn’t just turn a blind eye.
"Mom, I just want to help Mingzhu. The textiles from the Mingzhu family are so good, why can’t I help sell them?" Jin Yuanbao, as the youngest in the family, always had his way. If not for being too insecure, he would have wished to snatch Gu Mingzhu away rather than watch her get married.
Now that Gu Mingzhu was divorced and so pitiful, Jin Yuanbao wanted even more to help her. He said, "Mom, Mingzhu is so pitiful. Jiang Jing abandoned her. Now, with the Gu Family business doing poorly and her recently being ill, Mom, let’s help her."
"No way." Jin’s mom frowned, looking at her son, unable to resist poking his head, and said, "Son, about the divorce between Jiang Jing and Gu Mingzhu, who is right or wrong? Apart from themselves, who else knows?"
"It’s specifically Jiang Jing who wronged Mingzhu, he abandoned her!" Jin Yuanbao, hearing only one side of the story, instinctively felt it was Jiang Jing’s fault from Gu Mingzhu’s ambiguous words.
Watching her son eager to defend Gu Mingzhu, Jin’s mom immediately got a headache. She and her husband weren’t foolish, so how did their son turn out to be... not using his brain?
The Jiang Family’s reputation was well known in South City. In their social circle, Mrs. Jiang was famous for her kindness. As for Jiang Jing and Gu Mingzhu’s marriage, in Jin’s mom’s view, it was mostly Gu Mingzhu’s fault.
Moreover, there was the widely known issue of recognizing relatives. Jin’s mom hadn’t met that girl but had heard from nurses that she was beautiful, gentle, and though raised in the countryside, was exceptionally gifted, getting into Beining University with a perfect score in English.
As for the Gu Family? To not want such a daughter, but instead full of schemes, the misdiagnosis incident and donating bone marrow also made Jin’s mom dislike the Gu Family and Gu Mingzhu. Although the kidnapping issue was all pinned on Wild Wolf, Jin’s mom wasn’t foolish. Why would anyone with no enmity want to kidnap that girl?
Wasn’t the ultimate goal for Gu Mingzhu?
"Mom, help me, help Mingzhu. Didn’t you always teach me to help others?"
Jin Yuanbao kept pestering, and although Jin’s mom was angry, she knew she couldn’t just be stubborn; otherwise, wouldn’t mother and son end up in a big fight?
