Chapter 235
Chapter 235
With the previous experience of Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan, Gu Ranle was actually very unwilling to get involved in Gu Zhenzhen's mess again.
Minding other people's affairs is really exhausting.
If it is managed well, then it will be fine and everyone will be happy.
But if something goes wrong, it will be a thankless task, and you will be in trouble both internally and externally.
Old Zhao said that Gu Jingcheng originally wanted to sit down and have a good chat with the other party, so he let the person in. However, he didn't expect that by opening the door, he would get himself into big trouble.
It sounds like Gu Jingcheng is a brainless person, or to be more direct, it means that he doesn't have enough brains.
But to be honest, although Gu Jingcheng doesn't have much talent in business, he is definitely very smart.
He let the Shen family in after careful consideration and it was definitely not a sudden whim.
The reason is very simple, because she woke up today.
The matter of Gu Zhenzhen is actually not complicated to deal with. To put it bluntly, just give the Shen family as much as they want and use the money to get rid of the disaster.
What is difficult to deal with is the brother-sister relationship between Gu Jingcheng and Gu Zhenzhen.
If this matter could be simply solved with money, Gu Zhenzhen would never learn her lesson.
If a person makes a mistake and does not receive the appropriate punishment, or only receives a symbolic punishment, she will never learn her lesson.
In order to make a person truly learn a lesson, she must experience unforgettable pain, so painful that she will be frightened every time she thinks about it in the future. Only in this way will she learn from it.
This method has to be used for people like Gu Zhenzhen.
But the question is, how can we make Gu Zhenzhen feel truly hurt?
The answer is to make her lose what she holds most dear.
So, what does Gu Zhenzhen care about most?
money.
Gu Zhenzhen is not good at making money, but she is first-rate at spending money.
If you want to make Gu Zhenzhen learn her lesson, you must touch her roots and make her bleed profusely.
Only in this way will she feel real pain, truly remember the lesson, and think twice before doing anything in the future.
After all, we all make mistakes, but it is important to learn from them rather than repeating them over and over again.
Gu Jingcheng certainly couldn't be cruel enough to treat his own sister, and he was even more unwilling to bear the label of "bad guy".
Therefore, this difficult task naturally fell on Gu Ranle's shoulders.
After all, the relationship between Gu Ranle and Gu Zhenzhen was already tense, and Gu Zhenzhen was somewhat afraid of Gu Ranle from the bottom of her heart, so if she came forward, the effect would be a hundred times better than if Gu Jingcheng did.
Gu Ranle knew Gu Jingcheng's little tricks clearly.
Logically, she should be angry, but then she thought, who made her owe him?
So, if you owe a debt, you have to pay it back sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Gu Ranle sighed secretly and silently cursed Gu Jingcheng a few words in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.
On the other side, Qiao Yun was so nervous that his eyes almost widened. He stared at Gu Zhenzhen with his heart in his throat.
She was full of worry, fearing that Gu Zhenzhen would say, "I will not marry Shen Wen."
If that happens, all their fuss today will be in vain, and they will lose both the wife and the army.
Time seemed to freeze. Although it was only a minute or two, to Qiao Yun, it felt like an hour or two.
Her back was soaked with sweat from nervousness, her hands were clenched tightly, and all the nerves in her body were stretched to the extreme, as if they would break at the slightest touch.
"I've thought it through."
Gu Zhenzhen seemed to notice Qiao Yun's nervousness. She paused deliberately and gave Qiao Yun a sarcastic sneer.
"I won't marry Shen Wen. He's already cheating on me with other women before we even got married. If we get married, won't he be even more unscrupulous in bringing those women home? I don't want a man like that!"
"Zhenzhen——"
Qiao Yun hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade her, but was interrupted by Gu Zhenzhen without hesitation.
"I have made up my mind. I will not marry Shen Wen!" Gu Zhenzhen's tone was firm and resolute.
"Cancel the engagement." Gu Ranle drank a sip of water slowly and said slowly, "You are the one who is breaking off the engagement. According to the old rules, you have to return all the engagement gifts to the man."
"No!" Gu Zhenzhen was anxious, "Gu Ranle, why are you..."
She wanted to ask, "Why are you leaning so far away?", but before she could say anything, Gu Ranle spoke first.
"Why am I being so ungrateful? This is the rule. Since you're breaking off the engagement, you have to return the gift money to the other party." Gu Ranle's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.
After that, she looked at Qiao Yun again, "Please take out the gift list from the engagement, and then have Gu Zhenzhen return all the gifts according to the list. If there are any that have been used or cannot be returned, then we will compensate them at a discount. Mrs. Shen, what do you think?"
Qiao Yun's lips trembled. "I, I can't make the decision. Let's wait until my husband comes to discuss this matter, okay?"
Gu Ranle nodded, "Okay. With so many of you coming here today, I can't let you make a wasted trip. And I don't have that much time to argue with you about such a small matter every day. Today, let's solve the matter once and for all."
"Mrs. Shen, please take a seat."
After Gu Gu Ranle finished speaking, he turned to Gu Zhenzhen and said, "Why are you still standing there? Pour tea! You didn't even pour tea for the guests. Do you want people to laugh at the Gu family?"
Qiao Yun quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, don't bother, I'm not thirsty. I'd better go outside and call my husband to see when he can arrive."
When Qiao Yun disappeared outside the door, Gu Zhenzhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and shouted: "Gu Ranle, what do you mean? I asked you to help me solve the problem, not to cause trouble!"
Gu Ranle raised an eyebrow slightly, "Hey, you also know that I am helping you? It seems that you are not too stupid!"
"you--"
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Gu Ranle interrupted her rudely, "Do you think I am willing to take care of your mess? If it weren't for my elder brother, I wouldn't even look at you even if you knelt in front of me and begged me. Gu Zhenzhen, don't you understand the current situation? You attempted murder! If you don't know how many years of imprisonment you will face for attempted murder, you can take out your phone and check it now!"
"Attempted murder? Don't scare me!" Gu Zhenzhen said disapprovingly, "I asked my friends, I was acting in self-defense!"
"Self-defense?" Gu Ranle showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Your friend also studied abroad with you, right?"
Gu Zhenzhen looked confused, not understanding why Gu Ranle suddenly became interested in her friend.
"What do you mean?"
"You two studied abroad together, and even your brains stayed abroad together. It's true that birds of a feather flock together."
