Gu Jinxuan laughed coldly. Are you serious? Mother, arent you ashamed to say such things? That useless Zhou Yaoshu is even older than me, and you call him young and immature? Ah!

He drinks and roisters, and who knows how many wicked things he has done. And you dare say that the girl seduced him? Hes so ugly; which girl would seduce him? Dont you think its disgusting?

Shut up!

Zhou Ping was so angry she almost leapt up.

Gu Jinxuan looked at Zhou Ping frostily. I can shut up. I dont want to bother with the Zhou familys lousy deeds either. Tell me, where has the money gone?

Zhou Ping kept quiet.

Gu Jinxuan angrily charged towards the room that Zhou Ping and Gu Yundong were staying in and began to ransack it for the bankbook.

You What are you doing?

Zhou Ping panicked when she saw her son turning over boxes and drawers.

Tell me, wheres the bankbook? Or Ill find it myself. Mother, you had better think things over. My father still doesnt know about Zhou Yaozhus incident. Even if he knew, the matter has already been privately settled. If my father is angry, he will reprimand Uncle at most. But that fellow, Zhou Yaozhu, once had designs on Yao Yao. Guess what will happen to him if Mo Beihan or the Gu family finds out about it?

Zhou Ping was instantly terrified. She hurried over and pressed her hand over Gu Jinxuans mouth.

You shut up. Dont talk nonsense. Since when has Yaozhu ever had designs on Yao Yao?

Even if Zhou Ping disliked Gu Qingyao, she was well aware of the latters status in the Gu family. The entire family was very protective of the b.i.t.c.h. If the Gu family ever found out about this incident, the Zhou family would be in trouble.

Then there was Mo Beihan. The Mo family was not to be trifled with!

Gu Jinxuan smiled coldly. I heard it with my own ears. So? Are you frightened now? If youre frightened, why did you consider it then?

Zhou Ping was so frightened she was quaking.

She had many nephews in her family, of which Zhou Yaozhu was the oldest grandson and the most loved.

In their earlier years, the Zhou family despised the Gu family. After all, the Gu family had a poor background. But things were different now.

Especially since the Gu family had progressed so swiftly of late that the Zhou family had grown jealous.

Zhou Yaozhu married long ago but was now divorced. He had high expectations and did not marry again.

With Zhou Ping sending him nice things to support him, he had grown overly ambitious and insisted on marrying a beautiful woman.

And she must be from a good family.

His requirements meant that ordinary girls were beneath him, but those from a good background would not consider him either. So, the matter dragged on.

Once, Zhou Yaozhu had been visiting Zhou Ping when he happened to see Gu Qingyaos photograph in Little Seven and Little Eights rooms. He had been amazed and soon found out that she was the Gu familys granddaughter.

Zhou Yaozhu immediately asked Zhou Ping to act as a go-between so he could marry Gu Qingyao.

Zhou Ping had been caught in the middle. She had dissuaded Zhou Yaozhu by explaining Gu Qingyaos situation and saying that Gu Qingyao was engaged. Besides, the Gu family doted on her and would not agree to the match and so on.

But when Zhou Yaozhu had heard that Gu Qingyaos status in the Gu family was very high, he was even more determined to marry her. He continued to hara.s.s and coax Zhou Ping.

He said that when he married Gu Qingyao, he could use the Gu family to advance himself. In that way, the entire Zhou family would progress. He even said that since the Gu family doted on Gu Qingyao so much, he would certainly keep an eye on her once she married into the Zhou family.

With a trump card like Gu Qingyao in hand, the Gu family would not dare to dismiss Zhou Ping. Zhou Pings status in the Gu family was sure to advance several ranks.

This had tempted Zhou Ping.

But Gu Jinxuan happened to return while they were talking, and he heard everything.
