Chapter 1932: Chapter 78: Chips in Hand
"Yuehong, let’s go home!" Fu Shuzhen called loudly as they passed by the small playground on their way down the stairs.
"My mom’s calling me, I’ll see you next time!" Gu Yuehong patted Ping Simin’s hand and left with a smile.
Ping Simin finally looked up only when she couldn’t see them anymore, her eyes bloodshot. The hand that Gu Yuehong had just held was being intensely wiped on the basketball hoop, almost to the point of bleeding.

"Mom." When Ping Simin returned home, she rushed into Zhu Meihua’s embrace. She didn’t cry, but the blow had been even more severe.
Zhu Meihua gritted her teeth and said, "Don’t be sad, Mom will get revenge for you."
"Really?"
"Of course it’s true. Do you want to take revenge?"
"Of course I do, I don’t want to let Gu Yunbo or Gu Yuehong off the hook," Ping Simin said bitterly.
"Good! Then we will take revenge. Gu Family, this is your own doing."
"Mom, I can never like the Young Chairman again. I won’t be able to get married after this." This was the final straw that broke the camel’s back and what made Gu Yuehong’s attack so crucial.
Zhu Meihua gently patted her on the back and softly said, "It’s okay, you will definitely be able to find someone. If you can’t marry Meng Fan, you can marry someone else." She had known all along that her daughter couldn’t marry Meng Fan; it was Simin who never gave up hope. Now that she had given up, it was actually a good thing.
"With my reputation so tarnished, who would want to marry me?"
"How about Gu Sinian?"
Those simple six words sent a shiver down Ping Simin’s spine. She looked at Zhu Meihua incredulously, thinking she had heard wrong. "Mom, say that again? Who did you say?"
She played with Gu Yuehong every day, so of course she knew Gu Sinian. That handsome and wantonly arrogant Gu Sinian; she had once fantasized that if she hadn’t met Meng Fan, she would definitely have liked Gu Sinian.
The status of being the Gu Family’s heir was there for everyone to see; anyone with eyes couldn’t possibly refuse him, right?
"Marry Gu Sinian, then you’ll become Gu Yuehong’s sister-in-law, and she won’t be able to bully you anymore. With that status, you can take revenge however you like." Zhu Meihua had thought about this for a long time; it didn’t just suddenly spring to her mind.
From the moment her daughter’s innocence was gone, she had been planning for her daughter’s future. In deciding who she would marry, Gu Sinian was within her considerations, and in fact, he was her only option.
The chips she held in her hand could only aim at Gu Sinian. The truth was she had been hesitating and wasn’t sure whether to go through with it. She was reluctant to lay her best card on the table. But today, Fu Shuzhen had gone too far, and Gu Yuehong was no good either.
Did they really think Zhu Meihua was a pushover, a fool?
If she were a fool, she wouldn’t have been able to come from the countryside to where she was today step by step.

When the Gu mother and daughter came to the compound today, the news spread quickly, exaggeratedly saying they came in a limousine carrying large parcels. Not long after they left, someone came to inquire, and Zhu Meihua forced a smile to save face.
The neighbors marveled at the Gu family’s generosity, giving away so many nice things, and Zhu Meihua could barely maintain her smile.
Ping Simin hid in her room and wouldn’t come out at all.
Gu Yunbo stayed at home taking notes, watching from the window, with no intention of going out.
She didn’t care what others said about her being heartless and ungrateful; in any case, she wouldn’t take the initiative to engage. Was she out of her mind with nothing better to do? It was enough if she didn’t seek revenge on the Ping Family, or at least bring Zhu Meihua to her mother’s grave as an offering.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Gu Yunbo put down the notebook and prepared herself for a defensive stance. At this moment, Gao Jinglin’s voice rang out, gasping for breath.
"Sister Bo, open the door, hurry and open the door."
"What’s going on?" When she opened the door and saw, Gu Yunbo almost burst out laughing.
