Now, in the Gu family, she is the one who calls the shots.
The thought made her steps lighter.
"Madam, Mrs. Xie is on the phone."
Xue Lan had just dressed and co down from her room when the servant handed her the phone.
The "Mrs. Xie" the servant referred to was Xie Shiyu’s mother, He Ru.
Upon hearing it was her, Xue Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.
In the past, she had wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Xie family and have her son marry Xie Shiyu. She had said many good words in front of He Ru.
Although He Ru also admired Gu Junhang, at that ti, the succession of the Gu family was not clear, and Gu Huanan obviously favored his younger son. He Ru was not enthusiastic about this marriage alliance.
Therefore, Xue Lan had always been in a position of passivity and appeasent.
But now it might not be the case. Gu Junhang had taken control of the entire Gu family. Even the old veterans under Gu Huanan had been disposed of by him, and the Gu family was completely under his control.
Gu Junhang was now in charge of the Gu family, handso, capable, and strategic. With Gu Junhang’s abilities, there was no need to worry about the Gu family falling into other people’s hands in the future.
If her daughter were to marry into the Gu family, she would be the enviable young mistress of the Gu family.
Once the Gu family joined hands with the Xie family, they would be even more invincible in the business world.
Therefore, since Gu Junhang took control of the Gu family, He Ru’s attitude towards Xue Lan had completely changed.
In the past, Xue Lan was the one who appeased He Ru. Now, He Ru was the one appeasing Xue Lan.
Although this appeasent was subtle, Xue Lan could feel it. After all, the proud He Ru would not have taken the initiative to call her in the past.
But since her son took control of the Gu family, such proactive calls had beco more frequent.
Not only He Ru, but many families who wanted to form marriage alliances with the Gu family were trying to get close to her son through her.
The sense of superiority that Xue Lan had previously developed to cover up her own inferiority complex now appeared in a completely justified manner.
She picked up the phone, "Mrs. Xie."
"I have a card ga at Mrs. Chen’s house ... Do you want to join? Sure, I happen to be on the way, I’ll co pick you up?"
They chatted for a bit on the phone, and after hanging up, a slight disdain appeared on Xue Lan’s face.
In the past, she was eager to form a marriage alliance with the Xie family. Now, she had more choices. She didn’t have to flatter the Xie family, as long as she didn’t neglect them.
She touched her newly styled hair and confidently walked out of the Gu family ho.
When Xia Yumo woke up, it was a typical afternoon. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the white ceiling above her head, and at the intravenous drip still dripping in her hand. Her mind was completely blank.
She couldn’t rember why she was lying here. She tried to get out of bed, and did just that.
She raised her hand to lift the quilt, moved her feet onto the floor, was about to stand up when her feet suddenly gave way. Her whole body’s center of gravity fell forward. She fell heavily on the ground, making a loud thud.
She instinctively gasped in pain, but found that no sound could co from her throat.
She grimaced in pain, yet felt a sense of unease rise from within.
But before she had sufficient ti to digest the panic in her heart, the door of the ward was flung open. The surprised handso face of Gu Junhang appeared in her sight. At the sa ti, a flash of surprise slipped into Xia Yumo’s eyes.
