Grandma Zhou blinked. She felt bewildered. She could not figure out what Gu Jinxuan was talking about.

“No… I… I want to tell you that your Oldest Uncle has been imprisoned. Hurry up and find a way to get him released. Your family has such a huge fortune in the capital; surely a small matter like that is no problem? Be quick about it!”

Gu Jinxuan said, “Grandma, we would like to help, but we can’t! Noble families have very strict rules, and the family is managed very strictly. My father is still being disciplined! My Third Brother received a beating. Mother gave you such a large sum without permission and then lied to the family – it’s equivalent to stealing. She’s already been locked up. I don’t know when she’ll be released.

“Only Little Seven and Little Eight are still going to school. They’re still young, so they weren’t implicated. Grandma, you’ve brought disaster upon our family. We don’t have the ability to help you anymore. Also! Don’t call the Gu house again. I picked up this time, so it doesn’t matter. But if someone else from the Gu family picks up next time, they might decide to place justice over family. That will only make Oldest Uncle’s troubles worse. All right! I can’t speak to you any longer; I have to go and receive my punishment!”

Click!

Gu Jinxuan hung up the telephone. He pursed his lips and looked disdainful.

When he turned around, he realized that several of the Gu family’s servants were staring at him. What a surprise! Fifth Young Master was such a good actor!

Gu Jinxuan: “…”

“What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Go about your work!”

Everyone shrank back in fright and went to do their work.

On the second floor, Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinhang were smilingly watching Gu Jinxuan’s performance.

“I never knew that Fifth Cousin was such a good actor!”

Gu Jinhang sipped the hot tea he was holding and smiled. “And I thought I was the most cunning one in this family. I didn’t realize that Little Five is not far behind!”

Gu Qingyao chuckled, “This is quite good. Second Cousin, you are a scholarly and smiling fox while Fifth Cousin is a bad and cunning fox. I’m growing quite fond of Fifth Cousin now. Hahahaha!”

Zhou Ping had been locked up for a few days now. Anyway, she was locked up in the master bedroom and had everything she needed. Someone would bring her food at mealtimes, but she was not allowed to leave.

A week later, the dust had settled in the Zhou family, and Gu Jinxuan released Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping had grown very haggard over the week. When she looked at Gu Jinxuan, she was suddenly at a loss for words.

This was the son whom she doted on the most and who was the closest to her!

When he saw his mother’s expression, Gu Jinxuan said, “Mother, don’t look at me like that. You’re nicer to your nephews than you are to your own sons. Little Seven and Little Eight have always looked at you like that, but you’ve never noticed.

“I love my younger brothers, and I care about the welfare of the Gu family. You only care about your family, but not about the Gu family’s welfare. I care about my family, but not about the Zhou family. I’m truly your son.”

“You…” Zhou Ping did not know how to reply.

“The Zhou family’s situation is settled. Oldest Uncle is in jail, and Zhou Yaozhu has been detained. He won’t be out for at least six months. If you…”

“What did you say? You also locked up Yaozhu? You… how could you be so cruel? He’s the Zhou family’s oldest grandson. He…”

“Why should I care who he is?” Gu Jinxuan bellowed in rage.

Zhou Ping jumped with fright.. Gu Jinxuan had frightened her, and she did not dare to speak anymore for now.
