Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Don’t Touch Me! (Part 2)
“Alright, alright, I’m going out.” Xue Ru looked at her, sharing her pain, “Don’t worry, if you’re worried that Shuman can’t manage it, Mom will find her other helpers. There’s someone else who would love to see her have a miserable downfall!”
She retreated and closed the door.
Because she didn’t dare to take the call, she specifically asked Shuman to pass a message, finding someone to come in person, to let her know what had happened at today’s family banquet.
Very well, it didn’t let her down.
Earlier, she had investigated some people from the Gu Family, especially those who might threaten her husband and daughter’s status in the Gu Family.
Gu Mingze, the child that the old lady had always been quite fond of, even Gu Annan and his siblings were still relatively nice to him.
In her eyes, he was nothing more than a useless person with no ambition.
She thought he wasn’t coveting the Gu Family’s fortune, which was why they treated him this way.
Who isn’t mindful of benefits? Gu Annan and the others, aren’t they all judging people based on this?
In the process of investigating Lu Wanwan for Shuman, she found out that Lu Wanwan had a younger sister.
To her surprise, Gu Mingze’s girlfriend from a while back was actually Lu Wanwan’s half-sister.
She had been worried that Gu Mingze wouldn’t bring her along, especially since Lu Wanwan was currently in the spotlight; how could that sister dare to appear before her?
Even if the old lady still quite liked Gu Mingze, his unwed pregnant girlfriend couldn’t possibly win more favor than Lu Wanwan from the old lady.
Things were somewhat unexpected, but just right!
She had the guts to come and didn’t deliberately avoid her.
The next morning, Xue Ru walked into a luxury hotel in Rongcheng.
In the hotel’s first-floor buffet restaurant, there were only a few people.
Gu Mingze took a phone call and left in a hurry. The woman in maternity wear was leisurely choosing food.
Finally, she reached the table.
Xue Ru immediately walked over and sat down.
Lu Kexin looked up, utterly puzzled by this strange woman.
“Lu Kexin? I’ll get straight to the point, I’m here because of Lu Wanwan!”
Lu Kexin tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at her, “Go on.”

“Yeah, at midnight yesterday, we secretly put the gifts in great-grandma’s room.”
“I wonder if great-grandma will like them.”
“I think brother’s gift might be more to great-grandma’s liking!”
“But you put more heart into it!”
While Lu Wanwan was having breakfast, she overheard the two kids talking.
She knew that Little Youyou’s gift was a painting she created herself, while Little Momo, at some point, found out the old lady’s favorite musician and managed to get a long-forgotten, out-of-print vinyl record.
“She’ll love both.” Gu Annan added, “Don’t worry, she’ll see them when she wakes up.”
“Great! Then shall we go fishing this morning? Daddy, you promised, you secretly went out with Mommy yesterday, that’s so unfair, you must take us today.”
The family had an early cheerful chat in the restaurant.
The villa door suddenly opened, and they heard the servant’s shocked voice, “Young Master Bai… you, why, you’re hurt? Were you in a fight?”
Gu Annan looked over, Little Youyou immediately dropped her fork, ran and skipped over, and when she saw Bai Lingyun’s injuries, her little mouth couldn’t close in shock, “Uncle Bai, you weren’t back all night, now that you’re back how come you’re all beat up? You won’t be able to shoot movies anymore!”
