Chapter 320: Cutting Off Contact

When the woman heard Grandma Gu agreeing with her, she instantly became more confident and said triumphantly, “Miss Lu, now that Grandma Gu has spoken, perhaps you should go back and reflect on this?”

“I mean, Lu Miao is right,” Grandma Gu emphasized. “She is my Gu family’s daughter-in-law, Shiyan’s wife. She has the right to use everything in the Gu family. If she doesn’t rely on the Gu family, it can only mean that Shiyan is a failure and hasn’t done enough. Furthermore, our Gu family doesn’t have a throne to inherit. If she wants to have children, she can, and if she doesn’t, she doesn’t have to. It’s up to her. In the future, when they get married, it will be the same. I have no objections, and it’s not for outsiders like you to meddle in. Or do you think I should step aside and let you run the Gu family?”

“I don’t mean that, Grandma Gu. I didn’t mean it that way,” the woman’s face changed with fear. “I was just thinking about the Gu family. Seeing how much you love children, I wanted you to be happy and hold your great-grandchild soon. I absolutely had no other intentions.”

“I’m just old, not blind. If I want to send your daughter to Shiyan’s side, I’ll have to see if she’s qualified.” Grandma Gu directly exposed her intentions.

She glanced at the people on the sofa and continued, “Lu Miao is mine, and she is recognized by the Gu family as our daughter-in-law. Anyone who has ill intentions toward her will not get along with our Gu family. Unless she herself doesn’t want it, Shiyan will never marry another woman in his lifetime. Those of you with ulterior motives better give up those thoughts now. It’s not early, and I won’t keep you any longer. There’s no need to come and cause trouble in the future. Enjoy your New Year at home.”

The people on the sofa were all dumbfounded. It was only ten in the morning, and they had just arrived a little while ago. Some of them hadn’t even had a chance to say a word to Grandma Gu, and now they were being asked to leave. Moreover, it seemed that Grandma Gu intended to cut off contact with them. These branch family members didn’t have any extraordinary business abilities; they relied on the Gu family for their livelihoods. If they were truly cut off, how would they survive in the future?

They blamed that woman who had acted recklessly and had now implicated them all.

At that moment, they looked at the woman with eyes filled with anger, as if they wished they could devour her on the spot.

“Each family, as you go back, please settle the financial transactions between your families and the Gu family over the past few years,” Gu Shiyan added.

Now, everyone was in complete panic. Grandma Gu had only suggested cutting ties, but with Gu Shiyan’s remark, it seemed like they were on the verge of being permanently cut off.

Previously, the Gu family had been turning a blind eye to their financial dealings, but if accounts were to be settled now, it was likely that many of them would go bankrupt.

One by one, they hurriedly got up. “Grandma, Mr. Gu, it’s all her fault. It has nothing to do with us.”

The woman was so frightened that her legs went weak. “Grandma…” “Auntie Liu, escort our guests out,” Grandma Gu coldly ordered. Auntie Liu stepped forward and gestured toward the people on the sofa.

“Please, everyone.”

Seeing them hesitate, she directly used the intercom to call the security.

A group of people were promptly escorted out by the security.

Gu Jinxi immediately dashed down from upstairs. It was evident that she had been hiding upstairs, secretly observing the situation. She gave Grandma Gu a thumbs-up. “It’s about time to cut ties with these freeloaders.”

These people had been relying entirely on the Gu family to survive, yet they dared to look down on their second sister-in-law. They truly had no shame.

Grandma Gu considered for a moment and then said to Lu Miao, “Don’t listen to the nonsense those people are saying. With Gu Jinxi here, we have enough trouble. We want a few more peaceful years.”

“Grandma, how can you call me a troublemaker when I’m so well-behaved and adorable?” Gu Jinxi jumped down from the sofa, almost colliding with Shen Qinghe, who had just returned from outside. She bumped into Shen Qinghe’s head, looking pitiful as she went over to cling to Lu Miao, whimpering. However, she was promptly grabbed by the collar by Gu Shiyan and dragged to the other side.

The sight of this made the household staff unable to contain their laughter.

A world where only Gu Jinxi was injured was successfully achieved!

At noon, Gu Zhixing and Ah Luo also rushed back from abroad.

Although Grandma Gu had never said that she would accept Ah Luo, she had never objected to Gu Zhixing bringing Ah Luo home from time to time.

However, because he had been tricked by Lu Miao several times before, every time Ah Luo came back, he would be like a great enemy whenever he saw Lu Miao, afraid that he would be tricked again.

The house quickly became lively. Only Gu Ziheng was out of town doing the final rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.

After dinner, a group of people gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, waiting for Gu Ziheng to appear. Gu Jinxi held his phone and approached Lu Miao mysteriously.

“Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, do you know that there’s a live streamer on the Internet who recently dispelled superstitions? He smashed deity scupltures everywhere and was livestreaming lying in his coffin on New

Year’s Eve.”

As he spoke, he handed the phone in his hand to Lu Miao.

On the screen, a young male streamer was holding a dim flashlight in his hand as he shuttled through a deserted graveyard.

“He’s courting death.” Lu Miao said lightly.

Smashing the sculpture was not only bad luck, but it would also implicate future generations.

“Ever since that Young Missy on the internet became popular, the Metaphysical Streamer has been super popular these two years. This person is probably trying to attract people’s attention and deliberately doing the opposite. However, that Young Missy was also strange. She hadn’t appeared for a long time.”

Gu Jinxi logged out of the live broadcast to search for that young lady’s account.” I heard that she’s really super powerful. Maybe she can even become friends with you and have a good exchange of skills.”

The corner of Lu Miao’s lips twitched. She then remembered that she had a live streaming account. She had been busy with scientific research in school for the past two years, and the companies under her were also on the right track. She did not lack money, so she had forgotten about the live streaming. She did not expect that someone would still remember.

Just as she was about to say that she didn’t need it, she saw an eye-catching pink petal-like object on Gu Jinxi’s wrist.

He casually went over to brush it, but found nothing.

She reached out and pulled his wrist over to take a closer look. She saw that the pink petals were lifelike, and she could even see the tiny patterns on the petals.

“Is that a tattoo on your wrist?”

Gu Jinxi turned his head to take a look.” I don’t know what this is either. It’s been like this since I went to a bar to meet my friends last night. Maybe I accidentally touched someone’s tattoo seal.”

Lu Miao asked again,” Did you wash up after you came back?”

Gu Jinxi nodded and said indifferently,” It should fall off in a few days.”

He had wanted to get a tattoo when he was in his second year of middle school, but his family was strict and did not allow him to do so. He could only do this. Some paint was waterproof and could last for a few days, so he did not pay much attention when he woke up in the morning.

Lu Miao’s fingertips caressed the petal a few times. Gu Jinxi only felt a chill in the area that Lu Miao touched. A trace of coolness quickly spread through his entire body through his wrist, and even his entire body instantly felt much more refreshed.

He couldn’t help but be curious.” What’s wrong with Second Sister-in-law? Is there a problem with this?”

Lu Miao looked at the flower petal and narrowed her eyes.” Come to Lingyue Manor tomorrow morning to find me.””

This thing was definitely not a tattoo seal..
