Gu Yingying originally thought Mr. Gu would consider the companionship their family provided abroad over the years, consider her fatherâs diligent work for the Gu Family, and, given a day like today, would not be too harsh on her.
What she didnât expect was that, not only were her classmates not allowed to enter, but she was also indirectly sent away.
Seeing the look of disappointment on her fatherâs face, she felt intensely angry, thinking they were truly too selfish.
Unexpectedly, Second Brother came over and said directly, "If you feel life is too easy and want a change, then make a fuss here."
These words extinguished the words she was about to say, and she had no choice but to leave quietly, feeling dejected.
The return of the Gu Family really stirred up excitement within the social circles.
After all, with their return, problems arose in the Miao Family, the Li family, and the Xue Family in Beijing.
Although no one knew if there was any actual connection, everyone knew that the Li and Miao Families never got along with the Gu Family and had always been suppressing them.
They couldnât help but think in that direction.
As for the Chu Family in Sea City, people didnât pay much attention at first, but it didnât take long for the news of their changes to spread within the Beijing circles, causing a stir of discussion.
Throughout the entire banquet, Mr. Gu kept Xinyan by his side, showing her off in various ways, and even He Jinxuan was not neglected.
This banquet marked the Gu familyâs re-entry into Beijing.
A few days after the banquet ended, trouble involving Gu Hongrui came to light.
Gu Wanqing showed him no leniency, which made Gu Hongrui act recklessly, speaking out of turn, and those very words were what his wife and daughter often mentioned in his ear.
This only further infuriated Gu Wanqing, resulting in her taking the matter public.
When Gu Hongrui saw the police arrive, he was terrified.
Ever since Gu Hongrui had privately used the company car for his daughter Gu Yingying, the misuse of public funds gradually added up to more than twenty thousand.
In this era, what did over twenty thousand mean? It was equivalent to over two million in the future, something that couldnât be overlooked easily.
When those pieces of evidence were presented to him, Gu Hongrui was in shock; in fact, he hadnât realized it would amount to that much.
Ever since that car accident involving Gu Yingying occurred, after his wife Liang Yifangâs continual persuasion, he finally agreed with her.
The repair costs were covered by the company, as his wife suggested, and they went ahead with site selection there.
Initially, Gu Wanqing didnât argue with him; she signed off immediately, but it turned out that there was no suitable site they needed over there at all.
Afterwards, seeing that Gu Wanqing hadnât grown suspicious, he grew bolder, engaging in small acts of misconduct from time to time.
Yet he failed to understand the implicit messages Gu Wanqing had hinted at repeatedly, still feeling smug and looked down upon her a bit.
He always felt that his abilities were not below hers, just that he was not born into the direct line of the Gu family, attributing it to unfair fate.
But he never imagined it wasnât that she hadnât noticed, but that she had given him time and opportunity, hoping he would turn back.
As a result, he sank deeper and deeper until he couldnât extricate himself, which pushed Gu Wanqing to her limit.
Through this incident, Gu Wanqing completely established herself, elevating the work ethic of everyone in the company.
With the Gu Family getting back on track, they also welcomed Sun Zhenjunâs wedding.
Han Chunxue was incredibly busy, and since Gu Wanqingâs son Han Chaojun was still young and she wasnât cut out for the work herself, besides discussing the gift money, she also sent over plenty of other items.
Gu Wanqing didnât forget to give her sister-in-law Su Aihong a heads-up, and since Su Aihong wasnât a petty person, she understood that Gu Wanqing wasnât putting on an act to overshadow them.
Naturally, she had no objections at all, considering that when her own son got married, her sister-in-law didnât hold back in her gifts.
After class that day, Xinyan walked out of school.
She had agreed to meet her cousin Sun Zhenling to pick out a gift for their cousin at the department store.
But halfway there, she encountered Gu Yingying, who looked upset.
She didnât intend to pay attention, but unexpectedly, Gu Yingying stepped forward and blocked her path, "Han Xinyan, are you happy now?"
