Chapter 805: Second Cousin Gu Is So Handsome And Charming (1)
When she saw that Gu Ruoqing was upset, Zhang Xiaohui continued, “Don’t worry. Someone else will support us. That person is much richer than Gu Yunshen!”
Zhang Xiaohui had asked around in the restaurant and found out that Bai Youran was the only girl in the Bai family. The Bai family was very wealthy and reputable in the capital. But some had not heard of the Gu family before.
Those who had said that they could not compare to the Bai family.
So to Zhang Xiaohui, the Gu family, which was not related to her, was not as reliable as her own daughter.
Gu Ruoqing frowned when she saw how certain her mother was. She had been with her mother for so long. Her mother kept saying that if they went north, they would find someone to support them. She also said that this person was very rich. Once they found her, they would have no worries for the rest of their lives.
But she had not expected it to take so many years just to get to the capital.
Now that the environment was better, they could buy whatever they liked as long as they had the money. That made her mother even more adamant that they go to the capital to look for this person. Now she was even indifferent to the Gu family and had placed her hopes on this person. Gu Ruoqing did not understand why her mother was so certain.
“Mother, who exactly are you looking for? Why are you so sure that they will support us?”
Zhang Xiaohui looked at Gu Ruoqing smugly and smiled. “Don’t bother. It’s a secret. I’ll give you a surprise when the time is right. Anyway, she will certainly support us.”
Gu Ruoqing frowned. She had a bad feeling about this. She did not trust her mother.
In the past, she said that they would have a good life once she married Wang Guozhu. She had trusted her implicitly and followed her to the Wang family. Not only had it not been a good life, but it had also been hell.
How much had they suffered all these years in order to reach the capital? Although they had good times, they had been with many men and had even given them children.
Now that she had seen Gu Qingyao, she wondered if she would be living a rich young girl’s life like Gu Qingyao if she had not left the Gu family?
“Mother, tell me who that person is and how she’s related to you. I’ve listened to this line for so long. It has been so difficult to reach the capital. I’m not a child anymore. Stop treating me like a child and tell me.”
Zhang Xiaohui refused. This was her secret. She enjoyed the feeling of being the only one who knew this secret.
Although she really wanted to boast about it, she was afraid that Gu Ruoqing would be too impulsive and ruin everything.
Zhang Xiaohui frowned and said, “I won’t harm you. All you have to do is follow me. Anyway, forget about the Gu family for now. My person is much more reliable. I guarantee you will live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your life.”
Gu Ruoqing lost her temper. It had been so long, but she still refused to tell her. Did she not trust her?
“Mother, I’m your daughter. I’ve been with you for so long. We have relied on each other all along. Now you won’t even tell me such a small thing. Don’t you trust me?”
“Fine! If you’re so clever, you go look for your friend, and I’ll go look for the Gu family. Anyway, I was their daughter. I want to have whatever Gu Qingyao has, and more.”
Zhang Xiaohui looked disapproving. “Why are you so disobedient?”
Gu Ruoqing was furious. “How am I disobedient? You said that you want to find someone in the capital, so I followed you here. I’ve suffered so much on the way here. It was so difficult to reach the capital, but you still won’t tell me the truth. Why should I trust you?”
