Chapter 1823: Chapter 1821: She’s My Biological Granddaughter!

If Gu Qiaoqiao and Sima Xiaowen hadn’t come, Liu Ling could completely claim that the store had something to do with her. But now, with the other two partners present, it’s difficult for her to say such things.

She never expected that Old Lady Lu would end up with a reputation of a shrew, unable to even handle someone as weak-willed as Li Gufen.

She thought they would be much tougher.

She hoped to cause a huge scene, have a massive fight and thoroughly smash everything. Taking this chance, she’d ruin Li Gufen’s reputation, so that she couldn’t work here and leave in shame, which would mean the demise of the shop.

Without this noodle shop, Chu Chengfeng would have to obediently return to Divine Land with her.

Pity her plans didn’t pan out as she wished.

She smiled and gently said, "Miss Gu, I also heard these three are Sister Li’s previous family members. Seeing them in such poor condition, I feel pity too. Now that Sister Li is free from worries about food and clothing, it’s understandable she might want to help them due to past ties. But as Sister Li refuses to help, I can’t say much, as it has nothing to do with me."

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could retort, the sound of police cars came from outside. Before the police arrived, Old Lee and Li He hurried in.

Upon entering, Li He immediately saw Li Gufen.

Seeing her pale complexion and trembling hands, Li He felt deeply distressed. He rushed to her side and softly asked, "Did they hit you?"

Li Gufen shook her head.

Her eyes brimmed with moisture.

Old Lee glared at the three people, his cane in hand, full of anger.

Had it not been for Lu Hao being somewhat decent, he would have sent someone to deal with this family long ago. He was regretful, thinking that if he had acted sooner, they would have known his granddaughter had found relatives and wouldn’t dare bully her so recklessly, thinking she was alone and defenseless.

Old Lady Lu never expected that so many people would suddenly enter, and seemingly all were individuals she couldn’t afford to offend. But she noticed a tall man standing before Li Gufen, displaying a close demeanor.

Could this be her lover?

Old Lady Lu’s expression changed, as if Li Gufen had cuckolded her son.

Pointing at Li Gufen, she viciously cursed, "You, little Li, we wondered why you didn’t recognize us anymore. Turns out you have a lover, you heartless, shameless..."

Before she could finish cursing, Old Lee approached her.

He slapped her hard.

With such force, Old Lady Lu staggered and fell to the ground, looking fearfully at the grim old man before her, blood at her mouth.

Momentarily, she was too scared to speak.

"You wicked woman, how on earth can someone like you exist? Let me tell you, Li Gufen is my granddaughter, my biological granddaughter!

I’ve gone through a lot to finally find her, and you dare to insult her in my presence. You should be grateful your second son is decent, or the consequences would be something you’d rather not imagine.

My granddaughter has nothing to do with you now, yet you come harassing her, thinking she’s without family or guardians?"

Just then, the police officers arrived.

They were familiar with Sima Xiaowen, who chatted briefly with them, grinning.

After some thought, one officer nodded.

And then they left.

At this moment, the Lu family trio was dumbfounded, never imagining Li Gufen had a biological grandfather after all.

Old Lady Lu and Big Brother Lu might not believe it, but Old Man Lu widened his eyes in shock.

He recognized Li Gufen’s father.

This had to be Li Gufen’s grandfather, as he looked strikingly similar to Li Gufen’s father.

Wasn’t it said Li Gufen’s grandfather had died long ago?

Old Man Lu didn’t hold much sway at home, but his scheming tendencies often influenced decisions. He usually caused trouble discreetly, unlike Old Lady Lu who was more vocal.

Now, he wanted to inquire, yet wisely kept silent.

Liu Ling backed up slightly.

She truly didn’t know of this matter.

She assumed Li Gufen was alone.

All things considered, she and Li Gufen hardly spoke, and she only heard bits and pieces.

None included news of Li Gufen having a biological grandfather around.

Humans could be really annoying with their complicated webs of relationships.

As she wished to leave, Gu Qiaoqiao subtly blocked her path, smiling charmingly, "The fiancée of Director Chu, they say you can represent Director Chu; so, what are you planning to do? Leave?

This is your store too. With such a big commotion, can you really leave without resolving it?"

Liu Ling fiercely glared at Gu Qiaoqiao.

She clenched her fists, while Gu Qiaoqiao nonchalantly flexed her fingers.

Meanwhile, Old Lee, cursing incessantly, raised his cane and began to discipline Big Brother Lu.

Not to mention beating Big Brother Lu, even hitting Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu is justified given his status.

He is, after all, the elder!

This is precisely what Old Lady Lu used to rely on.

And now Gu Qiaoqiao realized this elderly man, who usually appeared cheerful, was truly an accomplished fighter.

He actually possessed combat skills!

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart settled with relief. Secretly, she sent two streaks of spiritual energy towards Old Lee, channeling them to ease his emotions. Regardless, Old Lee is an old man, and shouldn’t be distressed by these vile people.

The situation flipped, contrasting the earlier disadvantage.

As Old Lady Lu hurried to rescue her elder son, Old Lee struck her aside with his cane.

Old Lady Lu swore under her breath, quietly.

Even now, she wanted to curse Li Gufen but dared not utter a word.

Meanwhile, Chu Chengfeng was in his office, lost in thought. He was at the beef noodle shop in the city center, which was almost fully renovated, poised to open soon. However, his office received no special decor.

Only simple cleaning and furnishing with raw wood, making it quite suitable for work.

Outside, the tinkering noises persisted, yet he stared blankly at his Storage Space.

Once his memories fused entirely, his Storage Space opened up.

Inside were many items, including some immature magical artifacts crafted in adolescence, and various trinkets he found amusing.

However, his eyes were on a separate Red Sandalwood shelf by the wall.

On it were numerous outfits of varied colors.

Jinluo Damask, Like-Brocade Gauze... many now-extinct embroidered ladies’ skirts and sheer veils were currently on his wooden frame.

Most striking were two particular outfits.
