Ou Shihua, like when he arrived, left suddenly like a gust of wind from the doorway.
The servants at ho noticed that the master of the house almost never ca ho, and when he did, he stayed for only a few minutes and scolded his wife. They couldn’t help but wonder what the point was of Ou Chunhua being a rich wife.
What’s the point?
Ou Chunhua’s lips curled into a cold smile.
No matter what, one needs to save face. Her natal Su Family didn’t think much of her, but ever since she married into a real wealthy family, their attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Yes, saving face is necessary.
There’s nothing wrong with maintaining the deanor of a wealthy wife. Even if your husband doesn’t cherish you, people outside look at your money, wishing they could rush up to praise you.
The cruel reality of the world is perhaps even clearer after marrying into a wealthy family, far more apparent than when she was poor.
In those tis when everyone was poor, no one was envious of anyone, and no one wished others would live poorly.
The Madam Lu that Ou Chunhua ntioned truly had such a marriage situation. However, Ou Chunhua didn’t sympathize with her at all, because she barely had ti to pity herself.
To her surprise, soone caught hold of her friend Madam Lu’s weakness and imdiately leaked it to Ou Shihua. This was enough to show that this person was targeting Ou Chunhua, trying to uncover her secrets.
If it weren’t for her quick thinking and adaptability in dealing with changes, she might have taken a hard fall.
Who was the person trying to make her fall?
Gu—Nuan—
Ou Chunhua clenched her fingers into a tight fist, her nails digging deeply into the flesh of her palm.
That damn girl! That wretched girl!
Not getting rid of her back then had beco the shadow of her lifeti!
"Madam." The maid walked over with the phone, saying, "A call for you."
Ou Chunhua took it, only to hear the sobs of her friend Madam Lu on the other end, saying, "I say Chunhua, what’s going on? I followed your advice and manipulated your family’s stocks, and now the losses are so heavy? I’m now so afraid my husband will find out about my financial shortfall and co to settle scores with !"
It should be said that the reason they lost was because they placed their bets on the short-selling institutions, eventually shorting stocks with loans, leading to massive losses.
"Don’t worry," Ou Chunhua said. "I know a place that’s bustling with gambling. I’ve been there, and winning a round is no problem."
"Which place? Las Vegas?" Madam Lu asked.
"Luxembourg."
"Is there a Casino City in Luxembourg? How co I haven’t heard of it?"
Ou Chunhua smiled mysteriously and said, "That gamble isn’t sothing just anyone can get into."
It was a strange place, but thinking about her own massive financial losses, Madam Lu said, "You’ll take with you, right? You owe this."
"Of course, but there’s a condition—"
"What condition?"
"You can’t say that I was the one who advised you to do all this. Rember, I never took a cent from you as commission."
"Understood, understood." Madam Lu, being a sensible woman, laughed, "We are won in the sa predicant. How could I speak ill of you behind your back?"
Ou Chunhua’s lips curved slightly, making no comnt.
Two days later, Gu Nuan and her group were getting ready to depart for the airport.
When leaving the Xiao Family’s house, Zhao ngjin brought her brother to the door to see her off, initially wanting to accompany her all the way to the airport. However, considering that the two elderly folks at ho shouldn’t be left unattended, Zhao ngjin had to stay behind.
"Aunt, are you going to find Uncle?" Little Pudding Qingqing asked with his innocent little mouth wide open.
Zhao ngjin hurriedly covered her brother’s mouth, but it was too late.
Gu Nuan didn’t seem angry at the child’s words. She smiled at the child and said, "Yes."
This sentence, perhaps, was heard upstairs on the second floor.
The Xiao family’s elderly lady, hearing this from behind the window, let out a deep sigh. She turned to Uncle Tang, who was going out with Gu Nuan, and said, "No matter what, make sure to keep her safe."
"Don’t worry, madam," Uncle Tang patted his chest and said, "I’ve been through countless storms with the Chairman; I fear nothing."
"Is your son going with you?"
"Yes, the young madam asked him to drive her."
"Hmm—" The long note from the Xiao family’s elderly lady seed to suggest she wasn’t quite sure why Gu Nuan needed his services.
Gu Nuan arrived at the airport and boarded the plane with her party heading to Luxembourg.
The weather there was certainly going to be colder than at ho, as it’s closer to the Arctic.
By the ti Gu Nuan got off the plane, she was already wearing a fairly thick coat. However, it’s been said that Europe was experiencing an exceptionally rare warm winter, so the weather wasn’t as cold as in previous years—a relief for her as a pregnant woman.
At the capital airport of Luxembourg, Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui t an old friend from Brazil.
Luca, habitually clad in jeans, walked over and greeted them with a smile in standard Mandarin: "Long ti no see."
"Not too long, right." After eting a few tis, Zhong Qiaohui now spoke to him in the tone of an old friend.
Looking over, they suddenly saw a luxury car parked behind him. Zhong Qiaohui questioned, "Is that your car?"
Luca’s usual cars were Jeeps, not such impractical long luxury cars.
"It’s Hao Ran’s brother’s car. Hao Ran couldn’t co, so his family sent to welco distinguished guests for him."
