Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This sudden eruption shocked everyone. It was almost the new year, and everyone was in a good mood. Zhou Ping’s recent incident had caused the family’s atmosphere to be rather muted, but not too much. Also, because Zhou Ping’s situation had improved drastically as of late, she was not moping anymore.

Everyone was relieved, so the sudden eruption shocked them!

Gu Jinxuan was really furious. This was what they had feared the most, which was why they had controlled Zhou Ping. But to his shock, Zhou Ping was not warned by what had happened to the Zhou family. In fact, it had made her worse. His greatest fear was about to come true.

“What’s the matter? Little Five, what are you doing?”

Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin ran over to restrain him.

Gu Jinxuan roared in rage, “Ask her what she has done!”

When Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin saw the state Gu Jinxuan was in, they knew that something was amiss. They looked at Zhou Ping. “What have you done?”

Zhou Ping was pale with fright. “How would I know? Are you crazy? How dare you touch your own mother?”

When Gu Jinxuan saw that she was still unrepentant, he swallowed his temper and said to Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin, “She’s so amazing; she used our Gu family’s name to get someone to release my oldest uncle and Zhou Yaozhu.

“Father, Third Brother, I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how serious that is?”

Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin were dumbfounded!

Truly dumbfounded!

Although Zhou Ping’s life had improved drastically since she married into the Gu family, she was still an ordinary housewife. She had no experience with major matters. She had not worked for many years but had stayed home to do the chores and care for the children.

Actually, Gu Jinlin had done many of the chores. After he grew up, he shouldered part of the family’s responsibilities.

They never thought that Zhou Ping would be capable of such things.

Gu Yundong looked at Zhou Ping. This time, he was strangely calm. “Did you really do that?”

Zhou Ping looked nonchalant. “Why are you looking at me like that? Can’t I do something like that?

“It’s just a small matter. To a family like us Gus, a small matter like that is nothing. The junior officials in my hometown are all very capable. What’s a small matter like that?

“I’ve asked for your help, but you’re not willing to help me. You insist on forcing my brother to go to jail, so I had to find my own solution. Are you still unwilling to let him go?

“You just can’t stand my Zhou family being happy?”

The entire house full of people fell silent.

At that moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Little Seven and Little Eight were shivering in fear. Little Eight was next to the phone. He glanced at them, then reached out to pick up the phone.

“Hello, I’m…”

“Is that Little Eight?” Gu Jinhang recognized his voice. “It’s Second Cousin. Ask Fifth Cousin to take the call.”

“Okay!”

Little Eight looked at Gu Jinxuan. “It’s Second Cousin. Fifth Brother, he’s looking for you.”

Gu Jinhang hurriedly picked up the phone. Over the phone, Gu Jinhang’s tone seemed rather odd. “I’ve just received news that over the past few days, your mother has sought out a dozen rich ladies and borrowed thirty-two thousand yuan in total. She’s already sent thirty thousand yuan back to the Zhou family. The Zhou family probably used the money to settle things there.

“I have a list of whom she borrowed from and the sum that she borrowed.”

Gu Jinxuan was completely speechless.

Gu Jinhang said, “Little Five, keep calm. Think carefully about how to deal with this. I will suppress the matter for now so that news of it does not spread.

“I’ll pick up the pieces, including on the Zhou family’s end. But you must give me a definite answer on how you want to deal with them.. This matter cannot drag on.”
