Zhang i’s brother also turned his gaze towards her. Upon observing the jade pendant clutched in her hand, a flicker of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he feigned innocence, saying in a wronged tone, “Sister, what do you an by this? We ca to you for help, and now you’re saying our gift is not good enough?

“You’re the ones who failed to handle the matter properly. Don’t we deserve an explanation? After all, we are your family. You can’t turn your back on us, can you?”

Had this been any other ti, Zhang i would have sided with her family upon hearing these words, even if it ant clashing with Gu Shan. But today, she was infuriated by the fake jade pendant. She never expected her family to give her counterfeit goods. It was as if they didn’t consider her one of their own. She retorted sarcastically, “Indeed, big brother, you’ve given a wonderful gift. Even when giving a present to your own sister, you give a fake one.

“If I hadn’t been cautious and had the jade appraised at a shop, I wouldn’t have known how thoughtful my big brother was toward . How do you explain this, Zhang Da? Do you really consider part of the family?”

Zhang i was genuinely angry, openly addressing her brother by his full na in public. The Zhang family mbers all wore guilty expressions.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Zhang Da’s son and daughter-in-law quickly made their exit, taking their two children and leaving the Gu residence, leaving their parents to deal with the ss.

Zhang Da’s wife, seeing her son and daughter-in-law depart, also found an excuse to leave. After all, it was clear they wouldn’t be getting the quota they had hoped for. It was a false hope, and she was still angry.

Regrettably, Zhang Da’s foolish sister had discovered the jade pendant was fake, and they were in the wrong. She didn’t want to waste any more ti. “Husband, you talk to your sister and brother-in-law. I have the car keys, I’ll go give them to our son.”

At this point, Gu Shan realized he had the upper hand and angrily retorted, “Oh, big brother, you have the audacity to co to us for an explanation? Although this matter wasn’t handled properly, let ask you, did I not try my best to help you? I even accompanied you to find my foster daughter. I did my best.

“Now it’s your turn to give us an explanation. It’s a good thing this matter didn’t go through. If it had, this fake jade pendant would have caused a lot of argunts between our two families!

“I’m telling you now, those gift boxes and red envelopes you sent, I won’t be returning them. I’ll even have to check the money in the red envelopes at the bank. Who knows, it might be counterfeit money too. What do you have to say about that?”

When Gu Shan found out that the matter hadn’t been handled properly, he was particularly angry at Gu Zi, wanting to imdiately take the Zhang family to confront her.

But now, although he was still angry at Gu Zi for not obeying his wishes, he decided the next ti he saw her, he would definitely scold her. But that was a matter for later. Right now, he just wanted to vent his anger about the fake jade pendant.

Zhang Da’s face turned beet red, and he looked extrely embarrassed. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he laughed awkwardly, “Brother-in-law, sister, the money isn’t fake, and we didn’t ask you to return it. Once a gift is given, it’s not taken back. Don’t take it to heart.

“As for the jade pendant, it’s just a decorative item. It looks very realistic and is worth about a hundred yuan. No one would know it’s fake if you wore it out. And look, since our request didn’t go through after all, how about we each take a step back and drop the topic?”

Gu Shan sneered, “Drop it? I have to ask, will our families still be close in the future, or will it be like during the New Year, when you co to the compound to pay a visit but avoid our house? Let’s clear this up once and for all today!”

Seeing his brother-in-law’s attitude, Zhang Da felt a sense of foreboding. This Gu Shan, he still wanted to reap so benefits from him. The matter they had requested hadn’t been handled, so why should he give in?

Although he was in the wrong at the mont, he was not going to give another penny. He also started to make a fuss, saying, “Brother-in-law, enough is enough. Your family didn’t handle this matter well either, why are you so relentless?”

Seeing her brother’s attitude, Zhang i was so angry she started to cry, accusing him, “Big brother, you really don’t consider a part of the family, do you? When you gave the fake jade pendant, did you ever think that one day, it would make lose face in front of my husband’s family?”

Zhang Da’s patience was worn thin, and he also lost his temper, scolding, “If you can’t hold your head up here, isn’t it because you’re stupid? You don’t know what to say and what not to say. Couldn’t you have co to privately about the fake jade pendant?

“You had to say it in front of your husband, who’s to bla for that? You were foolish when you were young, and you’re still foolish now. I don’t want to argue with you anymore, it’s a waste of ti.”

With that, Zhang Da stord out, slamming the door behind him. Zhang i, unwilling to let it go, wanted to chase after him and scold him, but her husband Gu Shan held her back, “Enough, Zhang i, haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Calm down.”
