On her way home, Zhang Xuan kept thinking about the person who had bumped into her at the mall. She had appeared to be a woman, and she seemed familiar. It was as if she had seen her somewhere before.
When she arrived at her door, she remembered that she had seen her on TV.
'Zhou Yunxi!'
Zhang Xuan's nerves tensed up, and her face turned pale.
She didn't expect to see her. Had Zhou Yunxi also moved to the city?
"Madam, why are you standing at the door?"
Ning Tang saw Zhang Xuan standing still at the door. He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the tip of his nose.
"Oh, I'm fine. I just came back from the mall. I was trying to recall if there was anything I had not bought." Zhang Xuan's smile returned. "Why are you back already?"
"I need to get a few things. I have to go back and continue with the discussion." Ning Tang seemed to have thought of something. "Do you still remember the Gu family? We used to be close."
"The Gu family?" Zhang Xuan felt as if the blood in her body was flowing in reverse. She did not know why Ning Tang would suddenly bring up the Gu family. She forced herself to remain calm. "I don't remember. I think I only have a slight impression."
"Our families haven't seen each other for decades. It's normal that you don't remember."
Ning Tang did not notice her strange behavior as he entered the house. "I didn't expect the Gu family to have a high status in the city. They are rich now. We should get together when we're free. We're old friends after all, and business cooperation is more reliable."
Zhang Xuan almost thought that he would suspect her. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Is that so? Didn't the Gu family have two brothers? I remember the eldest son's name is Gu Bo."
"That's true. Gu Bo and I were close. It's a pity that he abandoned his wife and daughters because he owed a lot of gambling money."
"Gambling? What about his daughters?"
Zhang Xuan sounded a little anxious. However, she had just seen Zhou Yunxi. The family must have been doing well. How could something like this happen?
"His biological daughter is married. She's quite lucky and has become a Young Lady." Ning Tang took his briefcase and went out again. "I'll be back later tonight."
Two daughters? Had Zhou Yunxi given birth to another daughter?
Her biological daughter was married. What about the other one?
Zhang Xuan was lost in her thoughts. She forced a smile on her face as she watched her husband drive away.
"Madam, it's a call from Miss Tangxi."
The maid called out a few times before Zhang Xuan regained her senses. "She's here?"
Zhang Xuan's heart was in a mess. After so many years, there were some secrets that she did not want to be revealed.
"..."
Gu Ruochu received a text message from Gu Yanwei.
Although she had blacklisted Gu Yanwei countless times, her sister was very tenacious and kept changing her account to harass her.
Gu Ruochu could not be bothered to respond. She would just ignore it anyway.
"Gu Ruochu, that demoness from Country M called Nanchen again. You're too useless. He doesn't love you at all. Admit your misery."
The text message was filled with malice.
If Huo Nanchen had not returned, Gu Ruochu felt hurt by her.
But now, Gu Ruochu felt that Gu Yanwei was a clown.
"My husband was in my bed last night. Do you think I should believe you or him?"
Gu Ruochu typed the message proudly and sent it to Gu Yanwei.
When she received the message, Gu Yanwei almost dropped her phone.
She did not know what to think. Was the woman in Country M useless, or was Gu Ruochu too ambitious? She had hoped that even if she could not reap the benefits from being with Huo Nanchen, she would see Gu Ruochu suffer.
"Sister Yanwei." The door was pushed open, and Gu Li walked in. "What are you doing?"
