Chapter 473: Mother Gu’s face turned from red to white, paper white! (3)
Afterward, the rich women moved onto playing mahjong. They laughed; they giggle; they wanted to bet a little of money with their games.
Mother Gu paid particular attention and noticed that this Qian Jinglan was quite a generous one. She, too, was someone in her fifties, but when it came to topics on all sorts of fashion shows, or men’s businesses, she could always chime in and add a little bit here and there. She was certainly free-willed and chic.
Looking back at herself, it seemed she had nothing.
How much longer could the Zhang family shelter her?
Walking out of the high-end tea shop, Mother Gu couldn’t help but starting giving this some serious thoughts.
Her father was older than her, as was her brothers.
If they were to go before her, who else did she have to count on?
Wushuang was married and she was the daughter-in-law of the Huo’s.
“Sister-in-law, I want to open up a spa as well.”
Mother Gu, who had refused to go to the underground garage, pulled Chen Yunping into a small alleyway next to the tea shop instead.
At the spur of the moment, she felt that she should have her own career as well.
With her big brother’s help, she would for sure not lose any money at the early stage.
Once things had settled down, the shop would generate money on its own!!
Mother Gu was finally enlightened.
But her enlightenment was deviated.
Chen Yunping had no idea why a woman who had never worked a day in her life had the confidence that she could run a spa!
Mother Gu, on the other hand, had her mind set and stubbornly so.
There was not mic Chen Yunping, being just the sister-in-law, could say. She could only woo her back into the car so they can go home.
They had only taken a couple steps when they heard giggling coming from the small garden next to them.
They could tell it was Mrs. Gao, Ge Meitong, and the others.
“Zhang Wen was so stupid and pitiful. She was trying to comfort Qian Jinglan for having nobody taking care of her. Did she even remember her own situation? If she didn’t go back home to leech off of her parents, she wouldn’t even have a place to stay!”
“Exactly. Qian Jinglan’s daughter came back to visit her over the National Holidays a while back. I heard that her son gives her 1 million yuan a month! Her son-in-law bought her a farm in the outskirt for her birthday! How long had Zhang Qiang been back? Have we seen her daughter visiting her even once? Nevermind about a house, did she even send a gift of any sort?”
“Didn’t we hear that she has heart problems and just had a surgery?”
“That was a while ago. My son told me that she’s working now, upper management at the company even! But she never came to visit her mother!”
“Aiya, don’t you get it? She raised a white-eyed wolf, tossing her old and broke mother back to the Zhang family. The Zhang family will be supporting her and she didn’t even need to lift a finger!”
“Ouch. That’s ruthless!!”
“Right? She must have learned that from her father, both of them equally heartless! Zhang Qiang is a silly one. If I were her, I’ll go and fuss with my daughter! What else could I do? My daughter is eating and drinking the best and abandoned her mother on the streets?”
“Only the Zhang’s daughter-in-law can put up with that, letting the big bother spend his own money on his sister. Aye! I would be livid if my husband is supporting his sister this way! Aren’t we better off saving that money for our son when he gets married for as our daughter’s dowry? Why do we need to support someone else’s mother? And, the sister-in-law isn’t even grateful about it! Did you see how she was sympathetic toward Qian Jinglan? Boy, that was annoying to watch!”
They were talking quite loud and Chen Yunping and Zhang Wen could hear them clearly.
Chen Yunping had a complicated look.
Mother Gu’s face turned from red to white, paper white!
Even her legs standing on her high heels, were shaking!
