284 The Gu Family (2)

Gu Jianguo walked towards the Gu family’s ancestral hall. Gu Shaobai and the others immediately followed.

Gu Shaobai jogged over and said as he ran, “Brother, wait! Wait a moment, I still have something to say!”

...

Gu Jianguo immediately stopped in his tracks and Gu Shaobai almost bumped into him.

Gu Jianguo turned around and glanced at him indifferently with his sharp eyes. Then, he asked, “What’s the matter? We can talk about it after the ancestral worship. Why are you in such a hurry?”

Gu Shaobai stood up and met Gu Jianguo’s sharp eyes. His expression was slightly guilty and awkward, but he quickly calmed down.

He said, “Brother, I think my niece isn’t here this time, right?”

Before coming, he had specially asked around and found out that Gu Qingming was pregnant. The child in her womb had an unknown father. Now, she had even gone to the countryside to raise the baby.

It was estimated that she would not participate in this year’s ancestral worship.

As soon as they entered the hall, they looked around and did not see Gu Qingming. It was obvious that she had not returned.

“She had something urgent this time and didn’t come back!” Gu Jianguo said calmly. “Shaobai, why are you looking for her?”

Gu Shaobai’s eyes lit up. He said in all seriousness, “Brother, that’s not right. What urgent matter does niece have that she can’t rush home to pay respects to her ancestors?”

Mrs. Gu Shaobai who was beside him, immediately said, “Shaobai, she has something urgent to attend to and definitely won’t tell her uncle. Eldest Brother, don’t mind me. Shaobai is actually just concerned about me.”

With this couple, one was playing the bad cop and the other was playing the good cop!

Gu Jianguo nodded and said, “Yes, Mingming isn’t around today. She’ll treat you to a meal another day!”

Gu Shaobai was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, “Brother, what’s so urgent that my niece doesn’t even want to attend the ancestral worship? Isn’t it wrong for her to do this? She’s the only direct descendant of the Gu family. If she doesn’t attend the ancestral worship and the ancestors of the Gu family don’t see her, I’m afraid they’ll be unhappy, right?”

Gu Jianguo’s dark eyes stared sharply at Gu Shaobai. He said, “I don’t know if the Gu family’s ancestors are happy, but I know now that if we delay any longer and delay the auspicious time, the ancestors might really be unhappy!”

Gu Shaobai was speechless.

Mrs. Gu Shaobai rolled her eyes and looked at Mrs. Gu. She smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, long time no see. You’re getting prettier !”

When she said this, a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes!

She was jealous of Mrs. Gu’s beauty and her noble status as the mistress of the Gu family!

She was clearly much nobler than Shi Yashu, but Shi Yashu was the one who received Gu Jianguo’s favor.

To her, Shi Yashu was a country bumpkin who had become a phoenix overnight! She was the one who knew Gu Jianguo first. Why did Gu Jianguo choose a wild girl but not her?

Every time Chen Mingzhu saw Shi Yashu, the jealousy in her heart would increase.

However, she knew very well that her family needed the Gu family to take care of them. They could not afford to offend them.

Not only could they not offend them, but they also had to please them!

She was so angry that she vomited blood!

However, it wouldn’t be long before she didn’t need to live her life according to their mood! Thinking of this, she felt excited!

At the thought of this, she thought of something and said with a smile, “As a mother, she’s so beautiful. When she was young, so many people chased after her. Only our brother benefited from it! Otherwise, where would we get such a beautiful niece!”

Mrs. Gu only smiled!

She knew that Chen Mingzhu had not finished speaking!

Sure enough…

Chen Mingzhu changed the topic to Gu Qingming!

She covered her mouth and smiled as she continued, “Brother, Sister-in-law, I heard that Mingming is pregnant. Congratulations! Which young talent is she attached to? Then will we be able to attend our niece’s wedding soon?”

Gu Jianguo and his wife’s expressions did not change.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, “Mingming is still young. Her father and I still want to keep her for a few more years!”

“Ah, a few more years?” Chen Mingzhu pretended to be shocked and said, “But Mingming is pregnant! Don’t tell me you want her to give birth to an illegitimate child?”

This was a blatant mockery of Gu Jianguo and his wife. Their daughter had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and humiliated them!

When Gu Jianguo heard her talk about his daughter, his expression immediately turned ugly!

He wanted to say something, but Shi Yashu’s smile did not change. She said, “Speaking of this, I have a headache. However, as long as Mingming is happy, it’s fine. Mingzhu, I have to congratulate you!”

Chen Mingzhu was stunned and said in confusion, “Congratulate me? What are you congratulating me for?”

“Congratulations on becoming a grandmother?” Shi Yashu’s smile was as sincere as it could be. She continued, “Didn’t Minghui have a girlfriend who gave birth to a daughter? Since it’s your family’s child, it can’t be an illegitimate daughter, right? Ah, ah, you’re about to have two blessings. Mingzhu, Shaobai, congratulations! Minghui’s wedding and the child’s one-month-old celebration should be an amazing event. Don’t worry, even if your brother and I don’t have time, we’ll still take the time to attend!”

The smiles on Gu Shaobai and Chen Mingzhu’s faces froze, and their expressions cracked.

One second ago, they said that Gu Qingming had gotten pregnant out of wedlock which was embarrassing. The next second, she was rebuked by Shi Yashu.

Shi Yashu’s soft knife was especially aimed at this sore spot.

Since she said that one had to get married to be pregnant, they could only give the child a status.

The woman who had given birth was Gu Minghui’s girlfriend, but she was actually a hair salon girl.

Therefore, Gu Shaobai and Chen Mingzhu, who cared so much about their reputation, naturally looked down on this woman’s identity.

Even though a paternity test determined that the child was Gu Minghui’s biological daughter, the two of them refused to acknowledge the status of the mother and daughter.

Gu Shaobai and his wife did not expect Shi Yashu to know everything about their family from thousands of miles away.

This made their hearts sink!

The direct descendants of the Gu family were indeed capable.

But so what? They didn’t have a son, which meant that the Gu family was going to have no descendants!

If the Gu family wanted descendants, Gu Jianguo should father another son with the Gu family’s bloodline or not adopt one from the side family.

However, time and age did not allow Gu Jianguo to have another child.

Therefore, Gu Jianguo’s only way was to inherit one from the side family.

There were two sons in Gu Shaobai’s family. Before they came to the Gu family’s ancestral residence, they had discussed and agreed to let the eldest son, Gu Minghui, be Gu Jianguo’s successor.

After a few years, when Gu Jianguo handed over all the Gu family’s assets to Gu Minghui, he would return to his original family. At that time, the Gu Jianguo couple, who had no money or power, would not have any room to resist.

However, although it seemed beautiful, the reality was bone-chilling.

Just as Gu Shaobai and Chen Mingzhu were about to say something, Gu Jianguo’s expression darkened. His expression was ugly as he said coldly, “Gu Shaobai, Chen Mingzhu, if you don’t want to go to the ancestral worship, just say it. Why waste time?”

The couple’s faces turned pale and they were speechless!
