Chapter 59：Unless She's Gone Mad!

As Yang Huiru's voice fell, the attention of everyone immediately turned to Gu Mingzhu.

Since last year's birthday banquet for Old Lady Gu was not grand, most people present were unaware of Gu Mingzhu's grand gesture of giving a clock to the old lady last year, so they just looked at her with some scrutiny.

For someone like Yang Huiru, who was used to employing flattery tactics, Gu Mingzhu was not surprised at all.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Mingzhu stood up and walked to Old Lady Gu, softly saying, "I know Grandma lacks nothing, so I went to the temple in Xishan and prayed for a peace charm, hoping Grandma will have blessings as vast as the East Sea and a long life like the South Mountain."

As she spoke, Gu Mingzhu handed a peace charm to Old Lady Gu herself.

Old Lady Gu lifted her eyelids, glanced at her, and then said lightly, "You're considerate."

Yang Huiru's gaze fell on Gu Mingzhu, her eyes deepening.

This little cunning brat is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Praying step by step?

Do they all think we're fools?

But, Gu Mingzhu was wearing a long skirt that covered her knees tightly. She just didn't believe it. Anyway, it wouldn't be appropriate to test her in front of everyone.

Yang Huiru then put on a smile and said warmly, "Mingzhu is indeed thoughtful. Although this gift is not as valuable as Xiaoxia's, the sincerity is priceless."

As she compared, many guests couldn't help but make judgments in their hearts.

A woman who had a good relationship with Yang Huiru immediately said, "Huiru, what you said is not entirely correct. The significance of sincerity does vary."

"That's right. Although Xiaoxia's gift is a gesture of goodwill, once the Gu family successfully enters the redwood industry, the profits it can bring are immeasurable..."

"A peace charm like this, theoretically obtained through step-by-step prayers, but whether it's genuine or not, we have no way to verify."

"Ah, the daughter of the Gu family sending a peace charm, it's really not presentable."

...

Listening to the conversation of the crowd, Gu Mingzhu remained calm.

These people weren't entirely wrong.

After all, for her to pray for a peace charm for Grandma step by step, she must be out of her mind.

But if it's praying for her to pass away soon and rest in peace, she might have such sincerity.

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes, her expression bleak, and she self-deprecatingly said, "Mingzhu also wanted to send Grandma gold, silver, pearls, and jade, but unfortunately, she's short of money in her purse, unlike my sister, who can easily take out tens of billions in assets. So, it's really a case of having the heart but lacking the ability..."

At her words, Yang Huiru's face turned a few shades uglier.

This little cunning brat's words are really thought-provoking.

On the one hand, it seemed to imply that she had mistreated her, and on the other hand, it was a mockery that she could easily use the company's tens of billions in assets without the old lady's consent, which might arouse the old lady's vigilance.

Yang Huiru made a hurt expression, seeming deeply pained, "Mingzhu, are you suggesting that Auntie mistreated you over the years? Auntie thinks she treated you even better than Xiaoxia. If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can tell Auntie directly, why resort to this? As for Xiaoxia being able to use the company's assets, it was also with your father's consent. He wanted to fulfill Xiaoxia's filial piety, so he helped us keep it a secret..."

Before Gu Mingzhu could respond, Gu Junsheng frowned and interrupted her, "Look at what nonsense you're talking! Have you read all these years of books or fed them to the dogs?"
