Chapter 2289: Chapter 2091: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing
Gu Chunnai turned pale with fear, her chubby face shook slightly, and she immediately withdrew her hand, standing straight with her hands behind her back, like a student being scolded by a teacher, not daring to look directly at the person who had arrived.
She timidly called out, “Mom.”
Gu Mengru and Gu Chengqian followed suit, calling politely, “Grandma.”
Gu Linxi turned around and saw a wealthy old lady standing not far behind them, walking over with a cane. The old lady had a head full of silver hair, but her skin was well-maintained, and the wrinkles on her face couldn’t hide her good plexion. She was dressed in an emerald-green silk cheongsam with a matching jacket and wore a necklace of pearl beads the size of thumbs around her neck. She looked dignified and poised, yet her eyes and expression exuded sternness that kept people at a distance.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Gu Linxi looked at the elder before her with a plex gaze. She merely took a step back and nodded, giving a faint greeting, “Old Madam.”
Not Grandmother, just a distant ‘Old Madam,’ which left Old Madam Gu with a bitter feeling. Once upon a time, the daughter of the eldest family used to sweetly call her Grandmother, but now, how long has it been that she no longer calls her that.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, she forced a smile, “You’re back?”
“Hmm.”
“Why didn’t you e home to take a look once you returned?”
Gu Linxi replied casually, “I haven’t finished with work yet.”
It was obvious to everyone that this was just an excuse. Of course, Old Madam Gu could hear that she was just looking for a reason not to see them.
Thinking about the Jikang Group’s project, her sharp gaze scanned Gu Linxi like a knife. Gu Linxi, rushing over, was wearing a black, high-necked, thin sweater underneath, with a denim jacket over it, her long and slender legs clad in jeans, stepping on motorcycle boots, looking particularly chic. But when she looked at this outfit, she couldn’t see a single decent brand, and the girl’s wrists and neck were not adorned with any jewelry, a mark of poverty through her eyes.
She really couldn’t appreciate such attire from someone ing to the hotel to celebrate her birthday, especially when this guest was her own granddaughter; she only felt shame.
With her current way of dressing, there’s no way she could have the ability to know KangJi!
Then how did Qi Nian tell her that it was Gu Linxi herself who contacted KangJi and submitted Jianda’s plan to KangJi, allowing Jianda to squeeze out their Gu Real Estate?
Was it really that Mr. Cui who made the connection?
In just a few seconds, she had made her judgment, pursing her thin, paper-like lips, her attitude cooled a bit, and with a tone of dissatisfaction and reprimand said, “I know you young people are busy, but being busy is no excuse. You should take the time to connect more with your uncle and sister.”
“Last time, when I sent your sister to Capital City to call you back, you refused to e back, and I thought you hadn’t had enough rebellion. Turns out it was all planned.” She was speaking in a loaded manner, her greedy eyes like a hyena, staring unblinkingly at Gu Linxi, slowly saying, “Linxi, remember this: Jianda and Gu Real Estate are always one family, only when Gu Real Estate fares well can Jianda have good days. Intrafamilial fighting only makes outsiders laugh!”
Gu Chunnai’s family listened in confusion, unable to grasp what the two were talking about. She knew of Gu Real Estate, the family pany.
But what is Jianda?
Could it be that after her elder brother died, he left another pany to his daughter?
She bit her teeth in extreme jealousy.
