"Look at how frightened Juanzi is?" Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Chunhai, "Let me tell you, Gu Chunhai, this is your elder brother's own flesh and blood. Since the Lv Family wants a bride, let her take Gu Juan's place."

The direction she pointed was right at Gu Lingling, who was standing next to Old Sir Gu.

"This girl has been bad luck since she was little, causing her birth mother's death and now making our house restless."

"I'm telling you, Lao Er, your elder brother died saving you. You can't be so ungrateful."

"Your elder brother saved your life, so having Gu Lingling replace Gu Juan to marry into the Lv Family is perfectly justified."

"Yes, Chunhai, I'm begging you, for the sake of your deceased brother, save Juanzi, please? Look at how she's been tormented." Wang Meili clung to Gu Chunhai's leg and cried.

The Lv Family has status in the city, not something our small Gu Family can contend with.

Since Wang Xintao gave the bride price, there's absolutely no way the money can be taken back. Moreover, so many people saw what happened today; there's no way to hide her naive son's issues.

If they don't get a bride from the Gu Family, who else would dare marry into their family in the future?

Even those willing to marry in, they'd either have issues or be unattractive, and Wang Xintao wouldn't accept that.

"Save? How am I supposed to save you? Is Wang Meili's daughter human, but my Gu Chunhai's daughter isn't?" Gu Chunhai was both angry and amused by his mother and Wang Meili's suggestion.

"Chunhai, you can't just ignore Juanzi." Wang Meili paused, realizing Gu Chunhai's implication, "Juanzi is your brother's child."

"Yes, she's my brother's child." Gu Chunhai exhaled and said, "But what can I do? You don't want your daughter to marry an idiot, so mine has to substitute? What did my Lingling do wrong?"

"If there's a wrong, it was on me. I truly regret compromising in the beginning."

"That's what emboldened these people, each bolder than the last, thinking they could topple the sky."

"Fine, since you're all such capable people, whoever dug the pit can fill it."

"In any case, I am not capable."

"Chunhai, I really know I'm wrong. Please forgive us just this once." Wang Meili cried miserably.

"Wang Meili, do you really think I'm a fool?" Gu Chunhai pushed her away with disdain, "When you were plotting with your cousin against my daughter, did you not consider she is my Gu Chunhai's daughter?"

"Dad, help me, I don't want to marry that idiot." Gu Juan also cried.

"Chunhai, you can't be like this." Old Mrs. Gu also began crying.

"Can't be like what?" Gu Chunhai retorted, "Don't think you can force me like before. It won't work, Mom."

"All these years, did you ever love Lingling as much as your own granddaughter? Even one-tenth of what you did for Gu Juan?"

"That girl... Can't I treat her well in the future? As long as she agrees to help Gu Juan this time, I will treat her well in the future, and I won't take a single cent of the bride price from her." Old Mrs. Gu hurriedly said.

Pfft...

Gu Lingling couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, there's no hope for these people.

As for Gu Chunhai, his face was as dark as a storm.

Ever since the issue arose, these two never considered other solutions; they still want Gu Lingling to marry that idiot.

In an instant, the room was filled with a cacophony of crying.

"That's impossible." Gu Chunhai said through gritted teeth.

"Why not?" Old Mrs. Gu stood up and shouted, "Your elder brother is dead. Do you want him to die in unrest? You heartless thing, oh my eldest... I can't live, let me die and meet you."

"Enough, you stinky woman." Old Sir Gu slapped the table and shouted, "If you want to die, do it quickly. If you keep causing trouble here, get out of the Gu Family. Our Gu Family does not sell our sons or daughters."
