Yun Liu’s eyes flashed. She didn’t expect the Gu family to be so unscrupulous. They were even more shameless than the Yun family.
Seeing that the girls understood, Chang Hui was in a good mood, so she said to Zheng Xiu, “Bai Jie’s branch of the family may seem like they have all the power just because they’re the main branch of the Gu family, but the Gu family doesn’t just belong to the main family. And with how Gu Fei turned out, he probably won’t be able to keep hold of the Gu family’s wealth and assets.”
“By then, no one in the Gu family will be able to contend with us. Our Gu He is born lucky because everything in the Gu family will belong to him in the future. It will definitely belong to him!” Chang Hui stated ambitiously.
Zheng Xiu gently replied, “It’s all thanks to you and your husband, Chang Hui.
Gu He’s lucky because he has his uncle, auntie, and cousins to look out for him. That’s why, whenever he’s disobedient, I really want to smack him! Everyone’s hopes are resting on him, and he’ll let everyone down if he doesn’t live up to expectations. If he became like Gu Fei, spoiled and misbehaving, it’d be a waste of all the blood and sweat we’ve put in for him. Isn’t that right, Chang Hui?”
Chang Hui pondered Zheng Xiu’s words and turned to ask Gu Wen, “Did the people following Gu He say anything?”
Gu Wen hurriedly answered, “Gu He has been doing quite well recently, and his grades are also pretty good. He’s much more sensible than before. Don’t worry, Mom. We definitely won’t let Gu He become a good-for-nothing like Gu Fei.”
Chang Hui nodded and didn’t doubt Gu Wen’s words; she trusted her very much. Zheng Xiu and Yun Liu looked at each other before withdrawing their gazes.

Shi Nian silently accompanied Yun Nan. He had never expected things to turn out like this. In retrospect, the clues were there all along. He just didn’t expect fate to deal them such a cruel hand. He only now understood that Xi Cheng was always drinking because of Fang Xi, and Fang Xi’s depression was because of Xi Cheng.
Shi Nian believed that Xi Cheng loved Fang Xi because he’d seen how Xi Cheng had tortured himself after she left him. However, it had taken Fang Xi everything she had to get over him and accept Ye Kun into her heart. ‘And what of Ye Kun? Hés innocent in all this. This whole thing is too cruel to him,’ Shi Nian inwardly sighed for what felt like the thousandth time.
A nurse came over to persuade Shi Nian and Yun Nan to return to their ward. Yun Nan naturally refused. However, she turned to Shi Nian and said, “You should head back and rest. You don’t have to wait here.”
