Especially Gu Qing and Gu Man. They looked like old women in their forties before, but now they looked like beautiful women in their early thirties. Therefore, the second they showed up, everyone was stunned.
Especially Lin Lijuan and Wen Yulan, they were jealous of them. Every woman wanted to be young and beautiful.
The more Lin Lijuan thought about it, the more displeased she felt. "Now that you're rich, you're arrogant too."
"Rich? Are you as rich as my aunt's family? "Gu Qingshi asked with disdain. It was obvious that his family wasn't as rich as Gu Qingyun's family.
"Exactly!" Gu Yinyin agreed.
Gu Qingshi and Gu Yinyin were still young, so they didn't know much about the current situation. They only knew that Gu Man and Gu Qing's families were rich now, but they didn't know how much money they had.
"Qingshi, Yinyin, shut your mouths!" Gu Qinyang snapped at them. He didn't want to annoy Gu Ning and her family, so he couldn't allow his children to talk nonsense.
Gu Qingshi and Gu Yinyin were displeased, but they didn't dare to disobey their father.
"Yes, you're arrogant because you're rich. Didn't you use to be arrogant too? Why don't you continue to be so arrogant? "Gu Ning retorted in an arrogant manner.
"You …" Lin Lijuan was annoyed.
Gu Qingyun knew that Gu Ning had become bold, but he didn't think that she was very outstanding. Seeing that Gu Ning dared to argue with his mother like that, he was annoyed. "Gu Ning, how dare you! How dare you talk to my mother like that! "
"Gu Qingyun, who do you think you are? Why don't I dare to talk to your mother like that? "Gu Ning sneered, which irritated Gu Qingyun even more.
"You …" Gu Qingyun abruptly stood up, like he was going to fight with Gu Ning.
"Alright, sit down," Gu Qinxiang opened his mouth. He didn't want to argue with Gu Ning right now. After all, their families were on the same side now. It wouldn't be good to offend anyone.
Before they came here, Gu Qinxiang had warned him not to pick on Gu Ning and her friends again, so Gu Qingyun had to listen to Gu Qinxiang.
"Please sit down," Gu Qinxiang said to Jiang Xu and the others.
Then, Jiang Xu and the others sat down.
As soon as they sat down, the dishes were served. The dishes had been ordered a long time ago, but not everyone had arrived, so they had been waiting.
And this time, the old lady didn't say anything, nor did she drive them out. However, everyone knew what the old lady was thinking. She was just trying to take a step back in order to advance.
As expected, Old Madam Gu said, "Son-in-law Jiang, you have been hiding it well! If I hadn't bumped into you at the restaurant, I wouldn't have known that you've become a big boss! What? Now that you have money, you don't recognize us as your relatives anymore? "
Old Madam Gu's tone was dignified and thorny. However, this dignified tone lacked grandeur, but it was very thorny.
Although Jiang Xu had just entered the business world, he wasn't as weak as before. Besides, Gu Ning had told him to be strong and never give in. Otherwise, others would take advantage of him. In order to protect his family, he had become strong.
Therefore, facing the old lady's question, Jiang Xu calmly retorted, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? If we don't recognize you as our relatives, why would we come here today? Besides, we don't need to hide it. Don't we live our own lives? We don't need to publicize our own lives. "
What he meant was that he didn't need to tell outsiders whether his family was rich or not.
"You …" Old Madam Gu was mad. Although she knew what Jiang Xu said made sense, she still couldn't accept it. "Do you mean that you don't need to show your filial piety to me, your mother-in-law?"
Old Madam Gu still believed that she should have a share of Jiang Xu's money.
"Mother-in-law, we've always been filial to you! We always prepare gifts and red envelopes for you during festivals. Isn't that enough? "Jiang Xu asked.
Although Gu Qing and Gu Man's families were poor, they would still send gifts and red envelopes to the old lady during festivals. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough.
"That was before, and now is the present. You're rich now. Do you still need to send gifts to me?" Old Madam Gu was mad. She never liked those gifts. Of course, she was greedy, so she would accept them even if she didn't like them.
"Mother-in-law, do you lack gifts and money? Eldest Brother is so rich. He shouldn't lack gifts and money! "Jiang Xu said with doubt. He doubted that Gu Qinxiang didn't have enough money.
Of course, Jiang Xu said that on purpose. He knew that no matter how stingy Gu Qinxiang was, he wouldn't mistreat the old lady. Gu Qinxiang didn't treat his siblings well, but he was very filial to his parents.
Therefore, he said that just to mock the old lady.
"You …" Old Madam Gu was mad. Gu Qinxiang didn't lack anything from her, but it didn't mean that she didn't want more.
"Brother-in-law, you shouldn't say that. Even though mom doesn't lack anything, you're her son-in-law. Shouldn't you be filial to her?" Lin Lijuan said at once, as if Jiang Xu had done something wrong.
"Oh, I see. Can you tell me what you and eldest brother have sent to your mother's family? I want to learn from you, "Jiang Xu said humbly.
Jiang Xu of course understood that Gu Qinxiang was too stingy to give anything to the Lin family. Old Madam Gu was selfish, so she wouldn't let Gu Qinxiang and Lin Lijuan give anything to the Lin family either. Therefore, Jiang Xu said that for another reason.
Gu Qinxiang and his mother didn't give anything to the Lin family, so why should he give anything to the Gu family?
Hearing that, the old lady thought that Gu Qinxiang and Lin Lijuan must have given something to the Lin family. She was annoyed and questioned at once, "Lijuan, how dare you give the Lin family our money?"
How could she give the Lin family something that belonged to the Gu family?
"Mom, I didn't." Lin Lijuan denied it at once. She would do that, but she didn't dare to do it in public.
Even though Lin Lijuan denied it, the old lady still warned her, "Listen to me. You've married into the Gu family, so you're a member of the Gu family. You're not allowed to take anything from the Gu family to the Lin family."
"Sure," Lin Lijuan said, even though she didn't agree with it.
