Using Wisdom to Fight Evil Relatives

In the end, Gu Yuanyu said, "Mom told me to tell you not to involve her in your affairs and not to have any designs on her. Her money is for her retirement, not to fill a bottomless pit for you."

It turned out that Gu Yuanyu was here to convey the old lady's message. The old lady lived with Gu Yuanyu, but Gu Yuanchuan's family did not mistreat the old lady at all. If there was anything good, they would immediately send it to the old lady.

Every year during the New Year, Gu Yuanchuan would give the old lady a large sum of money to show his respect. He did not expect that at this moment, even his own mother wanted to draw a clear line with him.

"Hahahaha! Go back and tell her that no matter how bad my situation is, I will not have any designs on her. As expected, the world is cold and hypocritical, and morality has degenerated. When I was successful, you guys were in a hurry to suck up to me. Now that I am down and out, you guys are in a hurry to ask for money and cut ties. I finally see through you people!"

Gu Yuanchuan smiled as if he had been through some vicissitudes of life. His heart was completely cold. They were all his family, but the ones who hurt him the most were also these people.

When Dong Guiyun heard this, she was unhappy. "Big brother, we don't like it when you talk like that. What do you mean by we were sucking up to you? We became a shareholder of that timber factory back then. How did it become sucking up to you? Also, it's only right that we draw a line between us and you. If it were you, you would also do the same. Don't talk as if we owe you. It's you who owes us. If it weren't for you, would the timber factory have gone bankrupt! You've caused us to lose our income, yet you're still criticizing us."

Dong Guiyun had always been a smooth talker. She exaggerates, and she had never been at a disadvantage in an argument.

Gu Qingchen stared coldly at these three so-called relatives, her entire being exuding a cold aura.

"It looks like big brother really doesn't have any money. No, even if he doesn't have 500,000 dollars, I still have to scrape off a layer of skin from him. A few days ago, I even promised Xiao Cui that I'd buy her a gold chain."

When Gu Qingchen looked at her second uncle Gu Yuanguo and read these words from his mind, the corner of her mouth curled up into a sneer.

Greed was human nature.

"Our family definitely doesn't have 500,000 dollars, but we can give you 50,000 dollars. Back then, you only pooled in 10,000 dollars, and all the business management was done by my father. In these few years, you have also received a lot of dividends from my father. Giving you 50,000 dollars is already very good."

Gu Qingchen's words were very cold. It was completely different from her usual image of a sweet princess. When everyone heard Gu Qingchen's words, they were all stunned. They looked at Gu Qingchen as if they were looking at another person.

"Also, uncle, you can go back and report. We will pay the debts that our family owes ourselves. We will never implicate others. Since you came today, you must want to sever ties with our family. I also hope that once our Gu family becomes rich in the future, you won't be thick-skinned to come and visit us as our relatives."

This! These words actually came from Gu Qingchen's mouth. It was too shocking. It was as if she had slapped someone a few times.

Everyone was flabbergasted. On normal days, Gu Qingchen was the most gentle and well-mannered. She was also recognized as a well-behaved child and was also very kind. Today, she had said these words. It was really too shocking.

Uncle Gu Yuanyu was a little embarrassed after being ridiculed by Gu Qingchen. Wasn't it obvious that she was saying that they were vain? When they saw that Gu Qingchen's family was rich, they would flatter them. When they were down, they would also push them down.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, his face felt hot when he was mocked by a junior. It was as if someone had slapped him in front of everyone.

"Ahem, I still have something to do. I've passed on Mom's message. I'll leave first."

Initially, Gu Yuanyu was not here to ask for money. He was just here to draw a clear line. After being ridiculed by Gu Qingchen, he was embarrassed to stay here any longer as he was someone who cared about his reputation. He quickly found an excuse to leave.

Gu Yuanyu still had a little humanity. Gu Yuanguo did not care so much. Since he was here to ask for money today, he had to squeeze all the money out of Gu Qingchen's family first.

"Gu Qingchen, adults are talking. You are just a child. What are you meddling in? You don't understand anything so you should step aside. You have no right to speak here."

Second uncle Gu Yuanguo waved his hand impatiently at Gu Qingchen and frowned. He did not like Gu Qingchen very much.

Gu Qingchen looked at second uncle Gu Yuanguo coldly. "Second uncle has quite a lot of personal savings in his hands. It should be at least 100,000 dollars. If you want 500,000 dollars, it's easy. As long as you take out the 100,000 dollars and give it to us for turnover, when the company's profits are good, not to mention 500,000 dollars, taking out five million is also possible."

What? One million!

When Gu Qingchen said it, everyone present was shocked again. They all looked at Gu Yuanguo, especially Gu Yuanguo's wife Dong Guiyun.

"What's going on? What personal savings? What one million? Where did you get so much money? You better tell me clearly today. How dare you hide so much money from me? Tell me, why did you hide so much money? Are you trying to fool around outside?"

Dong Guiyun was like a machine gun. After talking for a long time, Gu Yuanguo's expression in his eyes became erratic. Finally, he laughed and coaxed her, "Honey, don't listen to that wretched girl's nonsense. I don't have any personal savings. My money has always been handed to you to manage. You also know that when I go out to eat with others, I have to report it to you in advance. How can I have an affair?"

Gu Yuanguo glared at Gu Qingchen. "You wretched girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

When Gu Yuanchuan saw this, he immediately pulled his daughter behind him, afraid that his second brother would get angry and hurt his own daughter.

Gu Qingchen patted her father's hand and stood out from behind him, facing Gu Yuanguo. Her eyes were terrifying as if someone had seen through him.

After a long while, Gu Qingchen smiled coldly. "That one million dollars was a bribe you took when you were a middleman for Anjian Real Estate, wasn't it?"

Anjian Real Estate?

Gu Yuanchuan was surprised when he heard that. He had thought that there was a discrepancy in the accounts, quantity, and price of the wood that Gu Yuanguo gave to Anjian Real Estate. At that time, he just didn't want to make things difficult for his younger brother, therefore, he didn't investigate further. He didn't expect that Gu Yuanguo would take so many kickbacks from Anjian Real Estate!

At the same time, Gu Yuanguo's heart skipped a beat, and the way he looked at Gu Qingchen became strange.

How did she know about this? Only he and the person in charge of purchasing from Anjian Real Estate knew about this. No one else knew about it, but Gu Qingchen knew so clearly. Not only did she know who he was working with, but she also knew the amount of money.

This... was too terrifying.

"No, that's impossible, how did you know!"

Gu Yuanguo was so shocked that he forgot to cover it up and blurted it out. When Dong Guiyun heard it, she immediately flew into a rage and grabbed Gu Yuanguo.

Several bloody marks appeared on Gu Yuanguo's face. The pain on his face finally woke Gu Yuanguo up.
