Chapter 769: Chapter 769

At this moment, the paparazzi, unable to spot Gu Dad or Gu Mom, inquired around and learned that some of Gu Nuan’s relatives lived in this county town, and so they headed to the home of Gu Nuan’s second aunt.

Gu Grandpa and Gu Grandma, since getting stuck with their investments, were even less willing to return to their own house and insisted on freeloading at their second son’s place, free food and lodging. They blamed their second son for their loss of "coffin money," believing they were swindled due to a person brought by him. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovєlFіre.net

Because of this, Gu Nuan’s second aunt had been worried sick. These two old folks ate and drank at her expense, seemingly venting all their frustrations on her, demanding only the best and most flavorful dishes. With such expenses, how could Gu Nuan’s second aunt, who had just suffered a financial loss, withstand it?

As for asking these two old people to leave, Gu Grandma and Gu Grandpa were both harsh individuals who would very likely bad-mouth the second son’s family outside, claiming them to be ungrateful, just like they had with Gu Dad and Gu Mom.

Unfortunately, Gu Nuan’s second aunt couldn’t have thick skin like Gu Mom and bear to lose face.

When the paparazzi came knocking, offering to interview about Gu Nuan’s past for a generous manuscript fee, quoting a price of one hundred thousand yuan.

One hundred thousand yuan, to Gu Nuan’s second aunt, Gu Grandpa, and Gu Grandma, was a lot. Little did they know, this tip-off fee was actually insignificant for a scoop involving the heir to the wealthiest man, the amount was too small.

Gu Grandpa and Gu Grandma only cared that they had their coffin money back, and Gu Nuan’s second aunt was happy to recover the money. The prospect of earning this money seemed very easy and straightforward.

The paparazzi conducted a specialized interview at the home of Gu Nuan’s second aunt, with the Gu family members present.

First of all, they certainly wanted to know how Gu Nuan got hooked up with the billionaire’s son?

Gu Grandma opened her mouth and said, "My granddaughter has excellent academic achievements and is beloved by everyone she meets."

Listening at the side, Gu Nuan’s second aunt thought: It seemed like it was the first time the old lady had said this.

What Gu Grandma usually blurted out was about Gu Mom’s deaf daughter—

The paparazzi asked, "You say your granddaughter attracted Mr. Xiao’s attention due to her excellent grades. But there are many girls with outstanding academic results in the world, so why would Mr. Xiao pick your granddaughter?"

Gu Grandma didn’t have an answer for this; she didn’t know much about Gu Nuan, as she hadn’t raised her since she was little and wasn’t close to her. Turning her head, she looked to Gu Grandpa.

Gu Grandpa pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that’s something you don’t know about, my granddaughter has a unique charm that cannot be explained otherwise."

It was evident that both elders didn’t understand their own granddaughter at all.

The paparazzi realized that these people, though claiming to be Gu Nuan’s relatives, were actually completely oblivious to the matter between Gu Nuan and Xiao Yebai.

However, the elders wouldn’t admit this, and with all seriousness said, "Last time the couple visited us, they brought over a red envelope."

"How much?" asked the paparazzi.

Gu Grandma proudly extended one finger.

The paparazzi conservatively estimated, "One million?"

Considering he was a rich heir who was known for his generosity, the least they could guess was this amount—not to let the wife’s parents look down on him.

One million?! Gu Grandpa, Gu Grandma, and Gu Nuan’s second aunt were all dumbfounded.

Wasn’t it said that Gu Nuan’s husband’s family was going bankrupt and all the money was borrowed from his brothers?

The paparazzi told them Xiao Yebai’s true identity: the son of Xiao Jianming, the heir to the wealthiest man and the future tycoon.

On the faces of the Gu family members, a seismic shock of epic proportions was evident.

In the town, Aunt Qiu was equally clueless about the whole affair until her daughter Qiu Jiali suddenly showed her the entertainment headlines on her smartphone.
