Chapter 212 - The Gu Family (2/2)

Gu Qing didn’t avoid Gu Man, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, so they all heard everything clearly. Gu Man’s face changed a little, and seemed hurt. Even though she already saw through her family, she felt sad at being questioned like that.

Mrs. Hao was irritated at once. She stood up grabbing the phone from Gu Qing, and said, “Boss Gu, I’m Hao Zhonglong’s wife, Gu Lan. I don’t understand why you have to ask Gu Man and Gu Qing for the source of their money? Let me tell you this, I lent the money to them! And you don’t have to right to question them!”

After that, Mrs. Hao hung up on Gu Qingxiang, looking at Gu Qing and Gu Man. “Sorry I’m being a little rude. Please don’t mind me.”

Gu Qing and Gu Man exchanged a glance, then snorted with laughter. Gu Qing said, “Of course not! I think you’ve done a great job.”

“Um, is your money legal?” Mrs. Hao unconsciously asked, but she soon realized she shouldn’t have said it. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”

It didn’t matter if Mrs. Hao meant it or not, Gu Qing and Gu Man weren’t mad at her. Gu Man explained, “Of course our money is legal. I just don’t want to tell them. My daughter saved a man’s life by accident. The man gave her an emerald the size of a quail’s egg as a reward. My daughter then went to a jewelry store to ident.i.ty it. Unexpectedly, it was the King’s Green which was worth ten million yuan! We didn’t need jewelry, so my daughter sold it and used the money to start a business.”

Gu Man didn’t hide the truth, because it wasn’t shameful after all. And she was willing to tell Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu.

“What? The King’s Green? It’s the king of the jade! It must be priceless!” Hearing that, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu were shocked.

Women loved jewelry. Some of them preferred gold and silver, some preferred diamond, while some preferred jade. Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu’s preference was jade.

Like the old saying went: jade nourished humans. And jade could accentuate their air of elegance.

Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu didn’t doubt Gu Man’s explanation, because they believed that Gu Man wouldn’t lie to them.

Meanwhile, Gu Qinxiang was struck dumb for a long while after Mrs. Hao hung up on him.

Mrs. Hao lent them money? He wasn’t sure whether he should believe it, and was quite surprised. Although he didn’t dare to annoy Mrs. Hao, he was aggravated by her.

Gu Ning got off the plane, and left the airport alone, instead of leaving with An Guangyao and others. She turned on her phone, calling Gu Man. Hearing that Gu Qing and Gu Man were in the beauty salon, Gu Ning decided to meet them there.

After the call with Gu Ning, Gu Man said to Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, “Um, my daughter is coming here to meet us. We will probably dine together. Do you mind?”

Mrs. Hao’s and Mrs. Lu’s eyes lit up at once. Mrs. Hao smiled. “Of course not. We also want to meet your daughter again!”

“Oh, can my son join us? He probably knows your daughter, because they go to the same school. Although my son isn’t good at studying and is a little naughty sometimes, he’s a nice boy,”Mrs. Hao said.

“Sure!” Gu Man replied.

Mrs. Hao then sent a message to her son.
