Wang Xintao led her foolish son out of the Gu Family's door and saw a soldier with a backpack walking from afar.

When Gu Haojun returned in the summer, she had seen him before, so she recognized him immediately.

She quickly took her foolish son to hide aside, and after Gu Haojun walked past, she anxiously ran towards where her car was hidden.

Luckily she was quick-witted and ran just in time, otherwise, if Gu Haojun had returned now, wouldn't her son have been beaten terribly by him?

However, when the mother and son reached the parking spot, Wang Xintao found her other son already beaten senseless and lying next to the car.

"Guodong, wake up." Wang Xintao ran over, held her unconscious son, and cried, "Who did this to him?!"

Look at what a state they have beaten her son into!

If it weren't for the clothes she had bought, and since it was right next to their car, she wouldn't dare believe this pig-headed person was her once proud son, Lv Guodong.

"Ow... it hurts, Mom go easy on me." Lv Guodong frowned with his eyes squinted, "Mom, you're finally back."

"Son, who beat you up like this? Tell Mom, and I'll make sure they get what's coming to them." Wang Xintao said through gritted teeth.

"I don't know either."

Lv Guodong indeed had no idea who beat him up like this.

He had waited in the car left and right for Wang Xintao and Lv Guoqing to return, and happened to see there were cigarettes in the car, so he got out for a smoke.

Who knew that just as he finished smoking, everything went black, and he got beaten up violently.

Poor him had no chance to fight back, and was beaten so badly he couldn't even crawl up.

In the end, he passed out.

If Wang Xintao hadn't shaken him a bit when she came back, he probably would have been lying there a while longer.

"What's this?" Wang Xintao stood there dumbfounded.

"So in the end, that person turned out to be Gu Juan?" Back at home, Lv Zhongliang asked while smoking, "And you got beaten up, and you don't even know who did it."

"Could it have been Gu Haojun?" Wang Xintao asked.

"How would Gu Haojun know about this in advance?" Lv Zhongliang countered.

"That's true, judging by his expression when he came back, it didn't look like he knew about this." Wang Xintao shook her head and said.

"There's definitely a mastermind behind this." Lv Zhongliang extinguished his cigarette and said, "You're not to get involved with the Gu Family's affairs anymore, stay away from your cousin too."

"But our Guoqing's wife..." Wang Xintao disagreed.

"So you want to marry Gu Juan in?" Lv Zhongliang retorted, "With Gu Juan's nature, do you think she'd genuinely treat Guoqing well?"

"I've already told you, don't fix your sights on the Gu Family, find someone poor enough who can't even open the pot, then when she marries into our family, she can wholeheartedly be with Guoqing, but you just wouldn't listen. Now see, it backfired."

"Get the bride price if you can, if not just leave it, after all, our Guoqing got their girl..."

"How can we not take it? Six hundred bucks." Wang Xintao burst out, "If they don't give us the wife, then return the money."

"If their family sues, both you and Guoqing will end up in jail." Lv Zhongliang angrily said, "Think for yourself if you want the money or you want to go to jail."

After saying this, he picked up his hat and turned to walk out.

"It's getting dark, where are you going?" Wang Xintao grabbed his arm.

"I'm annoyed, going for a walk." Lv Zhongliang replied impatiently.

"Don't think I don't know, off to see that hussy again."

However, Lv Zhongliang walked away without a backward glance.

"I can't live like this anymore." Wang Xintao cried out.
