Chapter 24: Scheming Against the Family for Benefits and More Will Come
Seeing Gu Yang standing there in a daze, Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. "What, you want to go back on your word?"
The corners of Gu Yang's mouth twitched. "No."
She used WeChat to scan the QR code on Gu Jin's phone. What appeared was not the payment page, but the page for adding friends.
Gu Yang blinked. "Big Sister, if you want my WeChat, just tell me."
Gu Jin's fingers paused on the screen. After verifying Gu Yang's friend request, she said, "Cut the crap and return the money."
After Gu Yang transferred the money to her, she added her to a group called "A Loving Family".
Soon, her younger brother, Gu Pei, asked in the group: [Big Sister, who is this?]
Gu Yang: [Your biological sister, Gu Jin.]
Gu Pei: [Why did you drag that country bumpkin in?! I only have Gu Yang as my sister! Gu Jin, if you bully my sister again, I'll kill you when I get back! Mom, quickly kick her out!]
The corners of Gu Yang's mouth twitched. So he was still a rebellious young man. Besides, it was hard to say who would kill who.
Just as Ruan Xueling was about to kick Gu Jin out of the group, a small line of words appeared in the group chat: [Gu Jin exited the group chat.]
Gu Pei: [Hmph! At least she knows what's good for her! Sister, if she dares to push you down the stairs, I'll avenge you when I get back!]
Gu Pei liked eSports. He had been at the club for the past two months during the summer break and had yet to go home.
Gu Yang vaguely remembered that Gu Jin had an alias as an eSports god, and she happened to be Gu Pei's idol. Since Gu Pei forced Gu Jin out of the group, he would beg him to pull her back in the future.
Seeing Gu Pei's words, she silently rolled her eyes in her heart. [What revenge? Gu Jin didn't push me. I said that I fell myself.]
Gu Zhaoming: [Yangyang, Daddy will be home tomorrow.]
Gu Yang sent an "obedient" emoji.
At this moment, Gu Zhaoming sent her a transfer of 200,000.
Gu Yang's eyes lit up. [Thank you, Daddy!]
Gu Zhaoming sent a voice message: [Daughter, it's been hard on you for the past few days. Your mother told me about the Xue family breaking off the engagement. Daddy will definitely help you get the engagement back! You don't have to worry about what's happening online. Those netizens will forget about it after nothing happens in a couple of days. No matter what, you're my most beloved daughter! And that ingrate Ruan Yan. How dare she scheme against you? Daddy will blacklist her when we get back…]
Gu Yang had mixed feelings. Although Mr. and Mrs. Gu didn't have good values, they doted on her more than their own daughter. Not to mention that Gu Jin couldn't compare to her, even Gu Pei couldn't compare to her.
She remembered that in the book, the Gu family had been destroyed. Gu Zhaoming's company had gone bankrupt and was facing a heavy load. He was facing jail time and the pain of losing his son and daughter. He had a mental breakdown and jumped off the building of the Gu Group to commit suicide.
When she was reading, she naturally felt refreshed to see such a wicked person bring disaster upon himself and end up in a miserable state. But now… she couldn't smile.
In order to avoid a miserable ending, Gu Yang decided to correct their values first.
Hence, she sent a voice message. Her tone was calm and gentle, and her words were clear. [Dad, forget about the engagement with the Xue family. I don't like Xue Duo.]
[Moreover, if they wanted the engagement back, the Xue family would demand an exorbitant price and make the Gu family give up some of our benefits, right? The Xue family is scheming against the family for benefits now, but they might continue doing it in the future. Why would we want scheming in-laws?]
On the other end, Gu Zhaoming was stunned for a long time. After the Xue family broke off the engagement, he communicated with the Xue family, but the Xue family hinted that they wanted the Gu family to give up a portion of the market. He didn't even have time to tell Ruan Xueling about this, but Yangyang actually guessed it.
Initially, he didn't think much of it. It wasn't a big deal to make a sacrifice for his daughter's happiness, but now that he heard Gu Yang's words, he felt his heart skip a beat.
