Chapter 26
Lead-Mercury Exceeds the Standard
After the Gu Group responded and posted a screenshot of the donation, although there were still some haters on Weibo, most of them were praising and apologizing. The Gu family’s reputation was salvaged.
As for Gu Yang’s Weibo, the curses and comments were also suppressed by the apology. There were also many netizens who sent private messages to apologize.
Gu Yang only glanced at it lightly, not panicking at all.
After Gu Zhaoming returned to Jin City, he brought Ruan Xueling, Gu Yang, and Gu Jin to the Ruan residence.
Old Master Ruan was still alive, so the two eldest uncles of the Ruan Family had yet to split up. However, the Ruan Family’s eldest uncle’s family was overseas all year round, so only the second uncle’s family was usually in the Gu Family’s old residence.
The Ruan family’s old mansion was beside a mountain and a river. The plants in the garden were lush and luxuriant, and the scenery was elegant.
Gu Zhaoming brought his family to the Ruan residence. Second Uncle Ruan brought his wife and daughter to welcome them.
As soon as Ruan Yan saw Gu Yang, she reached out to hold her, but Gu Yang grabbed Gu Jin’s arm first. Ruan Yan’s hand could only awkwardly stop in the air.
An unnatural look flashed across Ruan Yan’s face. When did Gu Yang and that country bumpkin become so close?
“Yangyang, you, Aunt, and Uncle are here to visit Grandpa, right?” Ruan Yan smiled appropriately. She only mentioned Gu Yang and the other two and deliberately ignored Gu Jin.
Gu Yang was a little surprised to see Gu Jin let her hold her arm. She remembered that the female protagonist in the book was obsessed with cleanliness and didn’t like to be too close to others. Could she have remembered wrongly?
Hearing Ruan Yan’s words, she asked with concern, “Cousin Ruan Yan, why aren’t you wearing your glasses today?”
Ruan Yan was stunned. She didn’t understand why Gu Yang would suddenly ask this. “I’m not short-sighted. Why would I wear glasses?”
“Then you didn’t bring your eyes out. No wonder you’re blind. You can’t even see people clearly.” Gu Jin sneered.
Ruan Yan’s face stiffened. She didn’t expect Gu Yang to take sides with Gu Jin to mock her.
Ruan Yan looked annoyed at Gu Yang. Then, she thought about her grandfather’s hatred toward Gu Yang. A cold smile flashed across her eyes. She wanted to see how Gu Yang would embarrass herself later!
After entering the house, Ruan Xueling frowned when she did not see Old Master Ruan. They had told him before coming. It was impossible that her father was not at home at this time.
Ruan Xueling was puzzled, so she asked Second Uncle Ruan, “Second Brother, where’s Dad?”
The beautiful woman next to Second Uncle Ruan gloated. “Dad is in the study and doesn’t want to see you. Little Sister, Brother-in-Law, why didn’t you tell Dad about such a big matter? You even let it go on the internet. Aren’t you embarrassing the Gu family and the Ruan family?”
Ruan Xueling’s expression was ugly. “Xu Yun, shut up! I’m talking to my second brother. Do you have the right to interrupt?”
Xu Yun, who was also Ruan Yan’s mother, froze. She never expected Ruan Xueling to not give her face.
When Second Uncle Ruan saw his woman being rebuked by his sister, he said unhappily, “Little Sister, how can you say that about your sister-in-law? Dad really doesn’t want to see you. If you want to see Dad, go back and reflect on yourself. Come back another day.”
“There’s no need. We’re mainly here to look for Second Brother today.” Gu Zhaoming pulled a long face and took out a document and a set of skincare products.
Seeing that set of skincare products, Ruan Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and Xu Yun’s expression changed slightly.
Second Uncle Ruan took the document in confusion.
Gu Zhaoming glanced at Ruan Yan coldly and said, “This is a skincare product that Ruan Yang gave to Yangyang. It’s produced by Ruan Corporation. I just don’t know if this lead-mercury content for the product alone exceeds the standard or if all the products are the same.”
