A female relative snickered and said, "This is not up to you, Family Head—what do you think?"
The comnt shifted everyone’s attention to Grandpa Zhuang.
Grandpa Zhuang looked at Gu Wenjuan, his expression turning exceedingly complex.
Everyone knew about Grandpa Zhuang’s affection for Gu Wenjuan, and the female relative, fearing he would be lenient, quickly said, "Family Head, are you really going to favor her after all this, especially since she just admitted to it?"
Grandpa Zhuang seed to struggle to accept the situation, digesting the information for a long ti before he finally sighed, looking extrely disappointed, and said, "Fine, let’s do as you say."
Gu Wenjuan was stunned for a mont, then incredulously exclaid, "Grandpa Zhuang, this isn’t my fault at all—I’m the victim! It was He Yong’er who deceived and tricked ; I didn’t..."
"Enough," Grandpa Zhuang interrupted sharply, his eyes full of disappointnt as he looked at Gu Wenjuan. "But you did do these things, didn’t you?"
It was the first ti Gu Wenjuan had seen such an expression on Grandpa Zhuang’s face, and she panicked imdiately, saying, "Grandpa Zhuang, I..."
"Go apologize," Grandpa Zhuang said with great disappointnt, turning his back. "Our family cannot afford this disgrace."
Gu Wenjuan’s face suddenly turned pale.
The female relative said, "This should have been done long ago. Princess Mo even ended up in the hospital because of her. Although Gu Wenjuan’s last na is Gu, she is still associated with our Zhuang family. It’s better that we send her out ourselves instead of letting others gossip, and we might regain a good reputation."
This suggestion was t with unanimous approval.
Gu Wenjuan went pale, and even her sobs and tears stopped. She looked at Grandpa Zhuang, her eyes trembling with hope for a different response. But his expression was full of disappointnt, indifferent to the shoving and pushing from the others.
Gu Wenjuan felt her heart chill, lowered her eyes, and suddenly found it all quite absurd.
When they had begged her to return, they had spoken so kindly, promising to protect her and cherish her for a lifeti. It turned out that even such a revered old man’s words could be falsehoods.
As she was leaving, the female relative noticed Sha Sha from the neighboring house.
Sha Sha was looking outside from the courtyard, and the female relative quietly walked over to her and said, "Sha Sha, who would have thought that Gu Wenjuan actually did it? You really have a way! Now the Family Head has truly agreed to let Gu Wenjuan apologize."
Watching the increasingly distant Gu Wenjuan, Sha Sha snorted coldly, "It’s only right for her to apologize. I told Mo Shu before that she wasn’t good, but he didn’t believe . He was so nice to her, and she went behind our backs and fabricated so much. Tsk..."
The female relative also felt indignant, "Just this kind of person, and she thinks she can compete for Zhuang Ziqi’s inheritance. How delusional!"
"Alright, I’ll go check on Mo Shu," Sha Sha said, her heart aching. "Mo Shu has been unconscious for several days, and I haven’t dared to tell Grandma."
The female relative hurriedly said, "Then let’s go together. It’s just right to watch the excitent; I wonder how Young Master Yu will react..."
-
A large group imposingly arrived at the hospital.
Such a grand entourage showing up at the quiet VIP residence drew many sideways glances, with everyone speculating about their purpose.
Inside the hospital room, Yu Siqiao was lying beside Mo Shu’s bed, his eyes tightly shut and his breathing even.
Mo Shu had been unconscious for a whole three days.
During these three days, Yu Siqiao’s total sleep hardly exceeded five hours.
In just three days, he had gone from being radiant and spirited to looking utterly disheveled and defeated.
