Chapter 423: 423 I’ve been wanting to deal with Mr. Gu for a long time (2)_1
"Did your grandma also share these details with you?"
"Yes, she did. She told me that my great-grandfather’s family didn’t like them much. So, she warned me not to expect a kind and amiable grandfather who would adore me. I knew it all along."
"..."
Luckily, Cute is a smart and sharp child. If it had been any other kid, they might have probably taken these matters differently.
"I said it’s okay. We are pretty and adorable; and when we grow up, we’ll become dazzling beauties. Mr. Gu is handsome, wealthy, and powerful. If they don’t like us, it’s their loss! I feel pity for them!"
"Pfft..." Both Ye Fei and Eleven couldn’t help but laugh.
Indeed, it’s definitely their loss!
"So, Eleven, you should cheer up. Stop feeling sorry for me and Mr. Gu, thinking how pitiful and sympathetic we are for not having family affection...those things don’t matter! I’ve got a dad, and my dad has got a grandma! That’s enough!"
Ironically, it was Gu Mengmeng, the little girl, who ended up counseling them.
Patting her head, Eleven replied, "Yes, and Cute, you also have a mom, grandma, grandpa, etc... There will be more and more people who would love you."
"Naturally! I even have a younger brother, a young mum and godmother!"
"Cute, did your grandma tell you why your great-grandfather’s family didn’t like them?"
"I have no clue. But from what I gathered, it’s mostly down to three things: women, money, and power."
"..." Eleven held her forehead, glancing at Ye Fei with an air of sorrow. It was sad how well this child had summed it all up. She realised it was inappropriate for her to ask the child about the adults’ grievances.
Even Gu Xi didn’t understand all these complexities. How could Cute possibly know?
"Baby Eleven." After a long silence, Fang Jiujiu finally spoke up.
"Yes!" Eleven immediately answered, "Sweetie, what is it?"
Jiujiu had finally initiated a conversation with her! Hurray!
"Instead of worrying about others’ business, shouldn’t we discuss whether the necklace should be retrieved or not?"
Well—
The mere mention of the necklace would send shivers down Eleven’s spine. She gasped, gave an embarrassed laugh, and glanced at Grandpa Jiu. Confused, Gu Mengmeng asked, "Can anyone tell me, what necklace?"
"He insists now that he bought the necklace... that he’ll never return it... Furthermore, Sweetie, even if we call the cops, it won’t help. He didn’t technically steal it..."
Talking about this, Eleven was already drained of energy, collapsing weakly.
"..." An exasperated Fang Jiujiu.
"Sweetie... how about we let it go... let’s just forget about the necklace." Eleven was playing the victim card, "And now, it’s not just about the necklace, he has accounted a loss of thirty million from his company to me."
"What?" Both Ye Fei and Fang Jiujiu looked up in surprise.
"Thirty million?" Gu Mengmeng also jumped up, "Oh, I know who you are talking about, my father!"
"He insists that a hacker on his QQ is my friend, and that he hacked his company to avenge me. He gave me a deadline of 3 days to deliver the hacker or pay up thirty million..."
"Bang!" Grandpa Jiu slammed his fist on the table.
Of course, being a kid, he didn’t possess much strength to create a loud sound. But he sure was irate.
"How many days have passed?"
"Tomorrow is the last day... Sweetie, I was thinking... maybe we should pack our stuff and sneak away in the night?"
