“Exactly! And there are so many types of jade which are hard to find. The boss of the Jade Beauty Jewelry must be wealthy and has a rich source of jade,” Mrs. Lu added.

They loved jade, and naturally knew the source of jade. Jade was from stone gambling. Stone gambling was much harder than normal forms of gambling. 99% of the time people could fail.

Only 1% could win. Professional skills and knowledge were reliable, but they only slightly raised the possibility to win.

“Why don’t we go to City G together?” Mrs. Hao proposed.

“Good idea! I’ll book the plane tickets right now, and we’re leaving this afternoon!” Mrs. Lu was also excited.

Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu were so efficient, and Gu Ning was happy that she had successfully promoted her brand.

City G wasn’t far away from City F and it only took an hour to fly there.

Hao Ran, who was already used to his mother’s behavior, stayed silent.

After the meal, since Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu were leaving for City G, they dispersed.

Hao Ran asked Gu Ning whether she wanted to go back to school with him. Gu Ning declined because she had already asked for a leave, and would go to school tomorrow.

…

The minute that Lin Lijuan got home she told her mother-in-law about what had happened today. The old lady was shocked that Gu Qing and Gu Man were suddenly rich and had even acquired a beauty salon.

“How can they do that! They’re rich now, and disappear right away. They should respect and think about me!” the old lady said, as if she was the one who had always been treated unfairly.

She even took it for granted that Gu Qing’s and Gu Man’s money belonged to her.

The old lady didn’t care about her daughters’ life, but only wanted them to pay her back because she had brought them up. All in all, the old lady hated Gu Qing and Gu Man, and didn’t want them to live a better life than her.

Lin Lijuan had an evil idea all of a sudden. “Mom, Gu Man is still unmarried according to the law, and she is still your daughter. Her money should be yours too.”

Although Gu Man’s money was barely comparable to Gu Qinxiang’s wealth, Lin Lijuan merely wanted to prevent Gu Qing and Gu Man from living a good life. Especially Gu Man, Lin Lijuan hated her to death because of what Gu Ning had done to Gu Xiaoxiao.

The old lady immediately called Gu Man, but Gu Man wouldn’t answer. Undoubtedly, the old lady was calling her for nothing good.

Gu Man wouldn’t answer her call, and the old lady was furious. She called Gu Qing, but it was still the same.

The old lady was in a rage now. “They both won’t answer my call! They totally forget that I am their mother! Where is the beauty salon? I’ll go and find them in person!”

Lin Lijuan didn’t stop her, and told her mother-in-law the address. The old lady left the house right away.

Gu Ning was free today, so she went back to the beauty salon along with Gu Qing and Gu Man.

In fact, Gu Ning was worried that her grandmother would cause them trouble again, because the old lady had just called Gu Qing and Gu Man. If the old lady came to them right now, Gu Ning was afraid that Gu Qing and Gu Man wouldn’t be able to handle the situation.

Gu Ning was right. Only half an hour after they were back in the beauty salon, the old lady arrived. And the minute she walked in, the old lady shouted, “Gu Qing, Gu Man, come out now!”

Her shout attracted a lot of attention from people around her. Everyone instantly knew that she must be a troublemaker.

“May I ask your name? Why do you want to meet our bosses?” The receptionist immediately walked over to comfort her, in case the old lady ran amok.

However, the old lady was shameless and didn’t care about her face at all. She stood at the door swearing loudly, “Gu Qing, Gu Man, you’re so unfilial! You’re rich now, and you forget about your mother! You’re sh*ts!”

Within seconds, many people gathered around, and those who didn’t know the truth all blamed the so-called unfilial daughters. However, the staff in the beauty salon all believed that Gu Qing and Gu Man wouldn’t do such a thing.

Gu Ning, Gu Qing and Gu Man were sitting in a nearby office room. They heard it clearly, walking out at once.

Seeing her grandmother, Gu Ning was extremely displeased. Gu Qing and Gu Man were also unhappy. Their mother meant nothing to them now.

Before they came out, Gu Ning told Gu Qing as well as Gu Man to stay quiet, and let her solve this problem.

“What did you just say?” Gu Ning said coldly. She didn’t have any respect towards her grandmother because her grandmother didn’t deserve it at all.

“Isn’t it true? You became rich and suddenly disappeared. You quit your job, moved to another place, and won’t even answer my calls! If my eldest son’s wife hadn’t encountered you here, I would probably still have no idea that you’re rich enough to run a salon now!” the old lady said angrily.

“Really? They disappeared once they became rich?”

“They abandoned their mother!”

…

Some criticized Gu Qing and Gu Man.

“Shut your mouth!” Gu Ning snapped. Her cold glance made the crowd fall silent. Everyone was frightened by her coldness.

Gu Ning said icily, “Do you know the real reason behind it? If you don’t, then shut up. Don’t think you stand by the side of fairness after you only hear her accusation. If you were us, I don’t believe that you can still blame us.”

Everyone immediately knew that the thing wasn’t as simple as the old lady said. Some felt embarrassed and no one said another word.

“I think you must still remember why we moved out. It was you who forced us to leave! Your lovely granddaughter scared my mother with a photo of me and my schoolmates playing together. My mother thought I was beaten by them and fell down the stairs. My mother had to stay in the hospital for a week. Did you ever come and visit her? And you have even sworn at my mother and me in public. Why should we still have to answer your calls?” Gu Ning sneered. In her eyes, the old lady was just a shameless loser.
