Gu Hua had rushed back home, seething with anger from the humiliation he had suffered at the car dealership. As he entered the luxurious mansion, he found Madame Gu seated on the couch, as she usually was, drinking tea with a serene smile. She turned her head and looked at Gu Hua, her eyes curious.
"What happened, my dear? You look quite agitated. Who's responsible for this?"
Gu Hua seized the opportunity to gain sympathy and support from his mother, and he said with indignation, "Mum, it's that wretched Li Chen. He's flaunting his wealth, thinking he's on top of the world with a mere 6 million yuan."
Madame Gu's expression transformed from tranquility to annoyance, and she scoffed, "That Li Chen again? Why do you even bother with such insignificant people? He'll squander that money soon enough and be back where he belongs, on the streets."
