Chapter 2290: Chapter 2092: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

All the dead brother and sister-in-law ever wanted was to treat their daughter like a treasure. But look at her biological mom, haha, she treats their family like freeloaders. After her dad died, none of the family’s companies were given to her, just a little share of dividends, not even much. At most, she gets a few hundred thousand a year, which is not a lot. In Lin City, raising two kids, that money is barely enough. That Gu Ran attended elite schools since childhood, while they have a son who can only attend an ordinary foreign language school—how can she not feel jealousy and resentment?

In her heart, blood ties and affection have long lost their worth, but she still has to act obediently on the surface. She immediately chimed in, "Yes, Xixi, you should listen to your grandma. As a young girl, don’t always run around outside. When you reach the right age, just get married early. Marriage is the most important thing in a woman’s life!"

Gu Linxi glanced at her mockingly, catching sight of the flamboyantly dressed Gu Mengru, and couldn’t help but ask, "Is Mengru married?"

"..."

This brat must be doing it on purpose. If Mengru was married, would she secretly introduce Cui Jiangjing to her?

She couldn’t maintain her expression, and afraid that Gu Linxi might betray her, she could only pretend to fix her hair, forcing a smile, "Mengru is still young, just graduated from university, why rush?"

"I’m not in a hurry either."

"Why aren’t you anxious..."

While speaking, Gu Qinian and his wife, having attended to the guests in the room, took some time to bring the splendidly dressed Gu Ran over.

Gu Ran wore a high-end dress with blue and white patterns, accompanied by a pair of intricately designed butterfly diamond earrings. She indeed looked lovelier than a flower, distinguishing herself among the guests like a bright moon, truly exceptional.

She gracefully walked towards them, smiling as she greeted them, "Auntie, uncle, Mengru, Cheng Qian, you’re here. Sorry, I was with my dad earlier, entertaining guests at the front, and didn’t notice you arrived. I apologize for not greeting you properly."

Gu Chunnai felt utterly annoyed but had to force a smile, "No way, I know you’re busy." As if she had time to greet her poor relatives!

Gu Mengru, being young, felt envious when her cousin became a hot topic idol on TV shows, and couldn’t help but admire, "Ranran, your dress is beautiful."

"Do you like it?" Gu Ran said casually, "If you like it, I’ll give it to you sometime."

"Sure, sure." Gu Mengru beamed with delight.

Gu Chunnai found it extremely annoying and sternly scolded her, "Don’t ask for it! You have so many dresses at home you haven’t worn, yet you’re eyeing someone else’s dress."

"The ones at home are cheap, Ranran’s dress is from MIUMIU, I don’t have any from MIUMIU."

What a shallow fool!

Was Gu Ran genuinely trying to give her the dress? She thought of her as a beggar scrounging for scraps!

Even though she felt her blood boiling, it was useless, as Gu Mengru was entirely focused on getting a pretty dress, not listening to a word she said.

After settling Gu Mengru, Gu Ran turned to link arms with the Old Madam, seemingly ignoring Gu Linxi, without even greeting her, and gushed to the Old Madam, "Grandma, happy birthday! Wishing you immense blessings, long life, and endless happiness day and year! Live long and prosper!"
