The Gu family was progressing so well in the capital. This time, Father had brought the entire family to the capital and wanted to decorate the house nicely so as not to embarrass the family.

So he had given her a large sum of money to buy high-class furniture.

Three thousand yuan!

How could the things bought with 3,000 yuan compare with those bought with 20,000 yuan?

Gu Jinxuan saw his Mother’s obstinate expression and thought that not only had his mother failed to change after all these years, but she had also gotten worse. He decided not to argue with her but simply placed the bankbook and the rest of the money in his pocket.

“You had better watch out. Don’t cry if you’re driven out of the Gu family! Hmph!”

Gu Jinxuan walked away frostily. Zhou Ping was stunned. Driven out of the Gu House?

“You… brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Where… where are you going? Where are you taking the money?”

Zhou Ping yelled at him a few times, but Gu Jinxuan ignored her and just walked away.

Gu Jinxuan was in a temper, and Zhou Ping did not dare to annoy him. She was afraid that if she annoyed him too much, he would go straight to Gu Yundong, and who knows what he would say.

Gu Jinxuan went back to his room. He looked at the 3,000 yuan in his hand. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He was increasingly determined not to let the Zhou family off.

Gu Jinxuan did not go out that afternoon. Zhou Ping felt relieved when she saw that he did not leave.

She only had 3,000 yuan left, but she was worried that Gu Jinxuan would take the money and spend it. How would she answer Gu Yundong then?

At dinnertime that night, the family members emerged one after another.

Gu Jinxuan also went downstairs to eat, but his face was cold, and his entire demeanor was frosty.

Gu Jinlin was back too. He looked rather expressionless and just focused on eating.

Zhou Ping glanced at her two sons, then at her husband. She did not say anything either. She just kept her head down and ate.

Gu Qingyao glanced at her and raised her brows. Something was wrong with Zhou Ping today!

She had lived in the Gu house for a long time previously. Second Aunt, Zhou Ping, was usually very lively when she was at home as if she was the mistress of the house. She was like that at mealtimes too. She kept talking to everyone and engaging them in chitchat. It was obvious that she did it deliberately.

So why was she so quiet today?

When dinner was over, everyone went off the rest. Gu Jinxuan suddenly said to Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong, “Father, Third Brother, come upstairs for a while. I have something to tell you.”

Zhou Ping started to shake. “Xuan’er, your father has just come home. Don’t tire him…”

“Mother, you come too.”

With that, Gu Jinxuan turned and went upstairs.

Gu Jinlin’s eyes flickered. He glanced at Gu Yundong, then went upstairs.

Zhou Ping did not want to go, but she did not dare to refuse.

Gu Yundong could tell that something was amiss. He grabbed Zhou Ping and went upstairs.

Upstairs, in Gu Yundong and Zhou Ping’s room, Gu Jinxuan took the 3,000 over yuan and the bankbook from his pocket.

“Father, Third Brother, this is the money that you gave Mother to buy furniture. This is all that’s left. She did not buy a single piece of furniture but sent fifteen thousand yuan to Grandmother. She also bought gifts and mailed them back. This is all that’s left.”

When Gu Jinlin saw the small sum, his heart sank again. But he was not very surprised by Gu Jinxuan’s words.

He had gone to see the new house today. When he saw that no one had cleaned it, he had guessed what his mother had done with the money.

Gu Yundong took the money and bankbook and looked at them incredulously. “This… this is all that’s left?”

Gu Jinxuan said, “That’s right, that’s all that’s left. My mother has spent the rest on Grandmother’s family.. She said something about Grandmother being ill. She falls sick dozens of times every year and is entirely dependent on Mother’s money to save her!”
