Gu Jinxuan laughed coldly. “The Zhou family’s oldest grandson? As if the Zhou family is so grand. If I didn’t know better, I might even think the Zhou family is some noble family! Actually, they’re just peasants. In fact, they are peasants who can’t even support themselves.

“I wonder what would have become of them if we had not supported them all these years! The Zhou family’s oldest grandson is nothing!”

Zhou Ping had cried so much over the past few days that she had no tears left. But when she heard how much her son despised her family, she could not help but cry again.

Gu Jinxuan did not feel at all guilty when he saw his mother crying. He only felt rather disdainful.

“That’s enough, Mother. Are you upset because I despise the Zhou family? Are you feeling aggrieved? Please, we children of the Gu family’s depend on our own hard work to achieve our present status! That bunch from the Zhou family only know how to enjoy life. Why should we respect them?

“What kind of standing do you think the Zhou family has in my heart? Why don’t you manage them properly?”

Zhou Ping just could not understand his words or what was going on.

Gu Jinxuan could not be bothered to talk to her anymore. He felt that there was a generation gap between him and his mother, and they had nothing in common.

He felt that his mother’s family was so lousy that she should treasure her opportunity to marry into a family like the Gu family. She would only be able to help her family when she earned her own position. If her family progressed well, it would also increase her status in her in-laws’ family.

What was she thinking?

Gu Jinxuan shook his head. He did not want to speak to his mother anymore.

That night after dinner, Gu Jinlin told everyone, “The new house is ready. We’re moving over on Sunday.”

Zhou Ping had not recovered from the blow of what had happened to her family. This new incident set her off!

“No! I won’t go; why should I go? That house has nothing. How can it compare with this place?”

This was a bungalow with a garden. The house was big, and there was a garden in the backyard. They could build a few more rooms themselves. There were also servants, and the neighbors were all important people. What did the other house have?

Gu Jinlin looked at her rather coldly. “I’ve already bought the furniture for the new house. You can just move straight in. I’ve also cleaned the house. The smell will dissipate over the next few days and it would be best to move in now.”

“I won’t go!” Zhou Ping shouted.

Gu Jinlin said, “This is not our home. This is Second Uncle’s home.”

“This is the Gu home. Why shouldn’t we be allowed to live here?”

“The real Gu home is at the Qing River Brigade! Why didn’t you want to live in the Gu home then?”

Zhou Ping was stunned!

Gu Jinlin said, “It’s been decided. We’re moving on Sunday.”historical

Gu Jinxuan was rather reluctant. He seemed rather conflicted when he asked, “Surely not? Do we really have to move?”

It was so comfortable here!

He didn’t want to go!

Gu Jinlin looked at him and raised his brows. “You don’t want to go?”

Gu Jinxuan said gloomily, “Of course not. It’s so comfortable here!”

“If you want to stay, you can stay by yourself. Imagine someone of your age refusing to leave someone else’s house. If you aren’t embarrassed, at least I am embarrassed!” Gu Yundong scolded him.

Gu Jinxuan hung his head. He really did not want to go!

Gu Jinlin said, “If you have the ability, you can earn money and buy a villa! Everyone is busy making money. Be careful, or you’ll be left far behind.”

Gu Jinxuan immediately protested. “Impossible! I’m so smart. Who can leave me behind?”

Gu Jinlin rolled his eyes.

This incident showed Gu Jinlin that he could no longer be so permissive towards these people.. Now, he put his foot down as the oldest brother and insisted that they leave.
