Chapter 768: Chapter 768
Gu Nuan, no matter how diligent and hardworking she was, no matter how tenaciously she struggled, if she didn’t have that ambition, that extravagant thought, she should have settled for a decent ordinary man to marry. How did she end up hooking up with the son of the richest man?
"What kind of person is my daughter? She grew up and lived here all her life—haven’t you all watched her grow up? Don’t you know her?" Gu’s mother asked angrily.
"Didn’t she go to university and then leave home for many years?" As they said this, the neighbors recalled another matter. "Did she break up with that son of the Wa Family because he fawned over some rich girl, or was it because she threw herself at a rich man?"
It was enough to make Gu’s mother die of anger on the spot.
That bastard Zicong Wa was the one who, after seeking glory and wealth, first dumped her daughter, alright?
Without a doubt, Wa’s mother took the opportunity to claim that her son was pitiful, that it was Gu Nuan who craved riches and dumped him, and so on and so forth.
Anyway, the whole small county ended up knowing about it.
They knew that the Gu Family had produced a so-called "Golden Phoenix," but it was one that was considered disgraceful, almost akin to a vixen in terms of character.
Gu’s father returned home and chased away a bunch of nosy parkers.
He sat in the living room with Gu’s mother, facing each other.
Gu’s mother felt suffocated, as if she was going to die of it.
Gu’s father took a deep breath and said, "You and I should have expected this. We knew that when she chose this path, she would definitely have to face all this. Don’t worry, Yebai is supporting her by her side. What others say doesn’t matter as long as they themselves live a good life."
Gu’s mother nodded her head.
But the situation was far from as simple as this couple of ordinary folks thought.
Paparazzi had taken an overnight flight to get to the old Gu homestead, ready to knock on their door to seek an interview for a scoop.
Gu’s mother went downstairs to buy breakfast in the morning while Gu’s father was still asleep in the room. Both of them had a restless night because of their daughter and son-in-law’s situation, and as a night passed, they were considering whether to call and check in.
The paparazzi, unaware that Gu’s mother was buying fried dough across the street, went to a market stall and asked, "Excuse me, the Gu Family, Gu Nuan’s home, is it nearby?"
Gu’s mother, whose mind was fogged by a lack of sleep, instantly became alert and quickly found a place to hide and listen.
"Who are you?" the passerby asked.
The paparazzi replied, "We are journalists from XX newspaper, here to interview Gu Nuan’s family, we mean no harm."
Gu’s mother immediately darted into an alleyway and ran home as fast as she could. Puffing and panting, she burst into the house, pulled Gu’s father, who was still sleeping in bed, and shouted, "It’s bad, the journalists have come here, we need to move quickly!"
Gu’s father was initially stunned as if in a dream, but then, seeing Gu’s mother packing essential items in the house into a bag, he quickly woke up and hurriedly dressed and put on his shoes.
The couple sneaked out like thieves. In hindsight, they both felt exceptionally depressed—since they hadn’t done anything wrong, why run? After leaving the house, they hurried up the mountain first.
They finally felt safe after they reached the mountain estate given to them by their son-in-law and met Uncle Qi.
Uncle Qi, after receiving them, would certainly call Xiao Yebai to report the situation here.
Upon hearing that his in-laws were being chased by paparazzi, Xiao Yebai was, naturally, extremely frustrated and anxious. Fortunately, Jia Baomo had already made arrangements, dispatching a private jet to pick up Gu’s parents and bring them back to the city. Read complete versıon only at novel·fire·net
Gu’s parents didn’t want to trouble their daughter and son-in-law, but since Yebai’s grandmother had expressed a wish to see them, they, being the bride’s parents, could not refuse. Thus, they boarded the private jet arranged by their son-in-law, leaving their old home behind.
