Gu Xiaozhan stared at her, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s: "You must have heard the saying, ’Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes, and mice will naturally dig holes.’ Han Han’s mother is a world-renowned scientist, what about you?"
Feng Siling felt her face burning with shame!
She insisted on provoking Mu Anhan, just because Mu Anhan had sent Zhou Jingyi to prison.
Feng Siling’s mother was the eldest daughter of the main family and the apple of Gu Zhentao’s eye.
"Grandfather, if Uncle Seven talks this way, isn’t he implying that you, Grandma, my mom, and dad are all incompetent?"
Gu Zhentao was somewhat displeased, and he looked towards Gu Xiaozhan. Even if this son wanted to pamper his wife, he shouldn’t step on others to do it.
"If you want to take it personally, there’s nothing I can do about that," Gu Xiaozhan said bluntly.
Mu Anhan could sense the ill intentions from everyone around, but she smiled, leaning into Gu Xiaozhan’s arms. This man, to pamper her, has clearly offended the entire Gu Family.
Seeing that Uncle Seven didn’t even respect her grandparents, Feng Siling knew her grandfather was unhappy and said, "I heard that Aunt Seven’s mother passed away early, didn’t she?"
Hearing this, Mu Anhan’s expression changed involuntarily.
The early death of her mother had always cast a huge shadow over her young heart.
Everyone has wounds that haven’t healed, and she is no exception.
Just as Gu Xiaozhan was about to explode, Mu Anhan stopped him, "Siling, it’s true my mother left this world early. So? Do you want to compare with me by sending your mother to the other world to see whose mom is more formidable?"
She spoke with a smile, softly and gently, as if discussing the weather, with no intention of confrontation, yet she could make the other bleed with her words.
Feng Siling was rendered speechless, her mother Gu Yuanni furious, her face turning green, "How were you raised to be so rude?"
"Speaking of upbringing, it gets even more interesting." Mu Anhan smiled slightly, "What did my mother do to deserve this? Rude people say she died early! I won the computer competition, who did I offend? Rude people say it was bought! My original book became a hit, that’s my own creation, why should I let it become a wedding dress for plagiarists? Rude people are even crying injustice for the plagiarists!"
She didn’t name anyone, but the Gu Family members had just heard Feng Siling and Gu Yonglei discussing Zheng Lanmei as a victim.
Gu Yuanni and Feng Siling, the mother and daughter duo, were left speechless.
"Huo Yiwen, look at the good daughter-in-law you’ve married!" Gu Yuanni directly targeted the fourth branch.
Huo Yiwen’s eyelids raised slightly. The main family used to bully their fourth branch, but now that Gu Xiaozhan had proven himself, how could they let others suppress them?
"An Han is right! Bad manners can also be inherited." Huo Yiwen picked up her teacup and sipped her tea lightly, "Is it properly educated to address elders by their names directly?"
Although Gu Yuanni was older than Huo Yiwen, Gu Yuanni was the daughter of the main family, while Huo Yiwen was the wife of the fourth branch.
"You—" Gu Yuanni was so angry she was about to explode. The support from her main family had been dwindling, and her husband’s oil business had been taken over by Gu Xiaozhan.
Now the fourth branch was basking in glory and arrogance!
The members of the main family were heading downhill.
All because Gu Xiaozhan was too powerful!
