RPAGF Chapter 234 Attitude Change
Chapter 234 Attitude Change
In Gucheng, when it comes to Gu Ranle, the apple of the eye of former richest man Gu Ning, she is almost known to everyone and is the focus of discussion on the streets.
This woman with peerless beauty and endless wealth is like a mysterious legend circulating in the city, brilliant and unfathomable.
Although there is a flood of news about her on the Internet and she is always the unavoidable topic in discussions on the streets, there are only a handful of people who have actually seen the true appearance of this Miss Gu with their own eyes.
The various rumors about Gu Ranle are like the ever-changing patterns in a kaleidoscope, which are both colorful and difficult to distinguish between true and false, making people curious.
There are rumors that she spends money like water and is willing to spend thousands of dollars on the man she likes just to win a smile from him. Her deep affection and generosity are very touching.
Others say that she has a strange temper and that fighting and causing trouble are commonplace.
What's worse, they vividly described how cold-blooded and heartless she was, and how cruelly she drove her uncle and aunt out of the house.
Qiao Yun had seen Gu Ranle once before, but the distance was quite far and he couldn't see clearly.
Today was the first time that Qiao Yun had close contact with this woman who was surrounded by rumors.
She is more beautiful than I imagined and has an extraordinary temperament.
Although her words revealed an unquestionable arrogance that made people feel a little pressured, if you savored it carefully, you could feel the politeness and propriety hidden under the arrogance, like a double-edged sword, sharp yet subtle.
It’s not quite the same as the rumored image.
Today, they were under the banner of seeking justice for Shen Wen, but in fact they had ulterior motives.
Before coming here, I had already found out that Gu Ranle had recently fallen ill and was in a coma, and Gu Jingcheng was temporarily in charge of the Gu family.
Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to come here rashly.
Compared to Gu Ranle's strength and unpredictability, Gu Jingcheng seems to be gentler and easier to control.
In addition, as Gu Zhenzhen's eldest brother, Gu Jingcheng will definitely try his best to protect his sister from going to jail.
They believed that as long as the conditions proposed were not too excessive, Gu Jingcheng would be more likely to compromise and accept them.
The final result of the discussion was that these women would first explore the way and make some trouble to see where Gu Jingcheng's bottom line was, paving the way for the subsequent formal negotiations with the men and striving to maximize their interests.
However, man proposes, God disposes, and Gu Ranle did not fall into a coma.
She looked energetic and rosy-cheeked, and didn't look sick at all.
Coma is even more nonsense.
The moment he saw Gu Ranle, Qiao Yun's heart trembled violently, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged over him like a tide.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family has always acted as she pleases, and her methods are swift and decisive. She is definitely not an ordinary person.
If you accidentally anger her, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only will the original purpose be shattered, but it may even backfire and end up with nothing.
After all, although it was Gu Zhenzhen who pushed Shen Wen into the hospital, the cause of the incident was that Shen Wen cheated first.
If you really look into it carefully, the Shen family is not in the right in this matter.
Therefore, when Gu Ranle is willing to save some face for them and give them a way out, they must not be ungrateful and must seize this rare opportunity.
Unfortunately, they had not discussed before coming how much money they would ask from the Gu family, or how much benefit the Gu family would give before they would give up.
Qiao Yun thought about it for a moment and decided to ask tentatively: "Miss Gu, can I call my husband?"
Gu Ranle nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding on her face, "Of course, after all, this is not a trivial matter, so it is only right to discuss it."
She looked at the watch on her wrist and asked calmly, "Is ten minutes enough?"
Qiao Yun nodded quickly and said gratefully, "That's enough, that's enough."
After saying that, she hurried out with her bag.
After Qiao Yun left, Gu Ranle turned around and looked at Gu Zhenzhen with sharp eyes.
When Gu Zhenzhen met her icy eyes, her heart tightened involuntarily and she subconsciously hid behind Gu Jingcheng.
She originally thought that Gu Ranle would scold her harshly, and she was already prepared to be scolded.
However, to her surprise, Gu Ranle just looked at her coldly and said nothing.
This made Gu Zhenzhen secretly relieved.
However, just when she let down her guard, Gu Ranle suddenly asked, "Gu Zhenzhen, how much property do you have now?"
Gu Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand why Gu Ranle asked this.
She looked at Gu Jingcheng puzzledly, hoping that he could give her some hints or help.
However, Gu Jingcheng seemed not to notice her pleading gaze, and said to Gu Ranle, "Lele, I have an important meeting to attend at the company, so I'll trouble you to help me deal with Zhenzhen's matter. Whether it's compensation of money or compensation of people, it's up to you. Anyway, you have the final say in this family, so I'll go to the company first."
"Big brother!"
When Gu Zhenzhen saw Gu Jingcheng was about to leave, she immediately grabbed his arm anxiously, with a hint of pleading in her voice.
"Don't call me big brother, I'm not your big brother!" Gu Jingcheng's voice was a little unhappy. He shook off Gu Zhenzhen's hand directly, his eyes full of indifference, "When I opposed your engagement with Shen Wen, you said that I was not your big brother. Now that something has happened, you come to find big brother? It's too late!"
After saying that, he smiled at Gu Ranle, meaning that it was you who should clean up this mess, and then left in a hurry, fearing that he would be stopped by Gu Ranle if he was too late.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to Gu Ranle and said, "Lele, your sister-in-law will be back soon, please take her pulse."
Gu Ranle was stunned at first, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister-in-law is pregnant?"
The corners of Gu Jingcheng's mouth curled up slightly. Although he tried his best to remain calm, his joy was hard to conceal.
"I haven't gone to the hospital for a checkup yet, you can take a look first."
Gu Ranle was also very happy. After so many years, the family was finally going to have a new member. This was undoubtedly a great happy event for the entire Gu family.
After Gu Jingcheng left, Butler Zhao and Aunt Wang also tactfully left the living room, leaving Gu Ranle, Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Zhenzhen alone.
"Gu Zhenzhen, move a chair for me too." Gu Xiuyuan pointed to the empty space next to him and began to order Gu Zhenzhen around.
"Gu Xiuyuan, are you looking for death?" Gu Zhenzhen glared at Gu Xiuyuan, with a threatening tone, "You don't have hands or feet? If you want to sit, move it yourself!"
Although Gu Zhenzhen didn't dare to disobey Gu Ranle, it didn't mean that she was afraid of others.
Especially since Gu Xiuyuan is her younger brother, who has been bullied by her since childhood. Now he dares to order her around. He is so bold!
Due to Gu Ranle's presence, Gu Zhenzhen has restrained herself a lot, otherwise she would have taught Gu Xiuyuan a lesson long ago.
Gu Xiuyuan did not argue with her, but went to Gu Ranle to complain, "Sister, Gu Zhenzhen refused to move the chair for me, and she wanted to kill me. Don't bother with her business, she is an ungrateful person anyway. She won't be grateful to you even if you help her, so let her talk to the Shen family herself. If she doesn't have the money to compensate them, just let them send her to prison. People like her are just adding burden to society."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenzhen was so angry that she almost passed out.
She had seen elbows bent outward, but she had never seen one bent as far as this!
But she is Gu Xiuyuan’s biological sister, a sister who couldn’t be closer with the same father and mother!
How could he say that about himself?
Gu Zhenzhen opened her eyes wide and stared at Gu Xiuyuan for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Gu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows proudly and was about to say something else, but was stopped by Gu Ranle's sharp look.
He instantly became as quiet as a quail, and stopped yelling for someone to move a chair. He grunted and dragged the single sofa next to Gu Ranle, sat down, and gasped for breath.
"Gu Xiuyuan, your body is too weak. From today on, you must exercise well!" Gu Ranle ordered bluntly.
"I……"
Gu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, feeling very bitter. What he hated most was sports.
"Okay, I'll go for a run in a while." Gu Xiuyuan compromised helplessly.
"Exercise is not as simple as running. There are many ways to do it. You have to find one that suits you. For example, go to the backyard and clean the dog pen and pig pen. I will check them personally at noon." Gu Ranle said seriously.
Gu Xiuyuan was so surprised that he could fit an egg in his mouth, "Huh?"
Gu Ranle slapped him on the head without saying anything, "What? Go to work!"
After Gu Xiuyuan rubbed his head and left mumbling, Gu Ranle turned his attention to Gu Zhenzhen again.
"Gu Zhenzhen, you haven't answered me yet. How much property do you have now? All of it, including movable and immovable properties."
Gu Zhenzhen still looked confused and had no idea what Gu Ranle was up to.
"Why are you asking this? You are so rich, why are you still thinking about my little savings?"
Gu Ranle was simply laughed at by Gu Zhenzhen. "Gu Zhenzhen, you studied abroad for a few years. Did you leave your brain there?"
Although Gu Zhenzhen was slow to react, she could still hear the sarcasm in Gu Ranle's words, saying that she was brainless.
She opened her mouth and said bluntly, "I am indeed stupid and not as smart as you. Isn't it like this since I was a child? You don't have to beat around the bush to mock me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yun walked in with a smile.
"Miss Gu, I'm done with the call."
Seeing Qiao Yun coming back, Gu Ranle stopped discussing this topic with Gu Zhenzhen.
She turned to look at Qiao Yun and asked, "Have you come up with a conclusion?"
"It's not a discussion, it's just that my husband scolded me." Qiao Yun smiled bitterly, "He said that I acted on my own initiative and brought people to cause trouble. It was simply nonsense. They are just a little fights between young lovers, and we, as elders, should not interfere. He will come to apologize in person later. As for Shen Wen's matter, it's actually not a big deal. He just needs to rest for a while, and it will definitely not delay the wedding on May Day. I am really sorry for today, Miss Gu, it's all our fault. We are sorry for disturbing you. I hope you can be magnanimous and don't bother with us."
As he spoke, Qiao Yun bent down and bowed to Gu Ranle with a sincere and humble attitude.
Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she didn't know what Shen Wen's father said specifically, she could roughly guess what he was thinking.
They came here in a threatening manner at first, but now they humble themselves and apologize. Shen Wen's father must be a shrewd and calculating person.
Gu Zhenzhen was completely confused. Did the Shen family not intend to hold her responsible? Did she still need to pay compensation? Why? Why did Qiao Yun's attitude change 180 degrees after the phone call?
Forget it, no matter what, as long as she doesn't go to jail and doesn't have to pay compensation, she doesn't bother to worry about other things.
"You should compensate for hurting someone. As Shen Wen's mother, it is reasonable for you to come to our house to seek an explanation for your son. Don't worry, our Gu family is not a family that bullies others by taking advantage of its power. We will pay as much compensation as you deserve." Gu Ranle said.
When Gu Zhenzhen heard this, she immediately became anxious.
No one is talking about compensation anymore, but you are taking the initiative to contribute money. If you have the money, you can pay it yourself!
But she didn't dare say this out loud and could only curse Gu Ranle in her heart.
Gu Ranle seemed to see through her thoughts. He glanced at her coldly and continued, "As for the wedding you mentioned, we need to hear the opinions of both parties."
Qiao Yun nodded and said yes, looking at Gu Zhenzhen.
Gu Zhenzhen was "concentrating" on cursing Gu Ranle in her heart and didn't notice Qiao Yun looking at her.
"Gu Zhenzhen," Gu Ranle said calmly, "Do you still want to marry Shen Wen now?"
Before Gu Zhenzhen could answer, she added, "You'd better think it over before answering this question."
