Gu Yundong left. He did not come back that night but found a hotel room and stayed there for the night.
Gu Jinlin and Gu Jinxuan left the room, then Gu Jinxuan ordered someone to lock the door from the outside so that Zhou Ping could not open it.
Zhou Ping was locked in.
When she thought of the impending disaster facing her family and that her husband and children were going to harm them, she felt as though she was locked in an ice cellar. A deep chill ran through her bones!
“Let me out, let me out! Jinlin, Jinlin, open the door! Don’t… don’t let your father do it. Open the door… open the door…”
Zhou Ping hit the door frantically and shouted as loudly as possible. The other members of the Gu family got a fright, and they ran over.
“What’s happened? This… why has the door been blocked from the outside?”
Most doors were locked on the inside. This was an ordinary bedroom, not a place specially designed to lock up a person. So when Gu Jinxuan thought of preventing Zhou Ping from leaving, he had to find a way to block the door.
It was Wen Ruyu who spoke. She had just been chatting with everyone downstairs when she heard the noise, so she came upstairs.
Gu Jinxuan was only satisfied after he had checked the door to make sure it was secure and that his mother would not be able to open it. He said to Wen Ruyu nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, Grandma, nothing is wrong! My mother is not thinking clearly. Just let her stay there for a while to calm down
“My Uncle is in some trouble, and my mother wanted my father to resolve it. When we heard that my uncle has been up to no good again, we couldn’t be bothered with him. We want to teach him a lesson. But my mother responded like that. My father has just moved to the capital, and his position is not stable yet! How is he supposed to deal with this nonsense now? What if it affects his future progress?”
When Wen Ruyu heard that it was a Zhou family matter, she stopped worrying.
She was used to such things. Zhou Ping just could not think clearly, and she knew that Zhou Ping liked to send things back to her family. She also knew that the Zhou family was rather shady. Now that they were in trouble, they had probably thought of asking her son to support the Zhou family, but Yundong had refused, and these were the results.
Little Seven and Little Eight were still studying and had not yet returned. Only the adults were at home.
Gu Jinxuan said to everyone, “Don’t worry. My mother has been like that for a long time. My uncle’s problem is a small one, but my mother likes to kick up a fuss over nothing. Just let her calm down!
“Carry on with what you were doing!”
Zhou Ping heard all this clearly from inside the room. Her heart sank!
The people outside were all very astute, and since Gu Jinxuan said that and with Gu Jinlin standing there without explaining anything, they would act as if it was true.
Everyone murmured a few placating words and prepared to leave.
Zhou Ping, who was inside, panicked when she heard the family preparing to leave!
“No… No… Mother, Mother, persuade Yundong. My older brother didn’t do anything wrong. He’s perfectly fine. It’s because I sent some money back to my family. That’s why they want to send my older brother go to jail! Father, Mother, please give me justice! Wuwuwu…”
Wen Ruyu was stunned!
Gu Chonghua was away at that moment and did not hear the fuss.
Gu Qingyao and Ji Mingyue were standing behind her. They were pregnant, and Mo Beihan and Gu Jinhang were supporting their pregnant wives.
Gu Qingyao raised her brows when she heard that.
Really?
Mo Beihan was also somewhat surprised.
