No matter how out of place the two uncles and aunts are when they do things, as long as it's for Grandpa's sake, Gu Mei will help out in any way she can.

  It's not that helping is just a matter of saying so, everything has its limits. This time, it can be said that Second Uncle and Second Aunt brought this upon themselves. Gu Mei helped out because she valued their relationship as relatives, if she didn't help, others could at most only give her a cold shoulder, but couldn't do anything to substantially harm her.

  She thought it out clearly, if she just relied on her aunt's crying and making a fuss to run around asking for help, she was afraid that in the future, her aunt would have to recognize her, and from now on, she wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life.

  This is not her being overly cautious, but rather some people are really like that. When no one can support them and they're on their own, they still know how to be mindful of the situation. After all, if something were to happen, there would be no one to help. But once they think someone has their back, even if a problem arises, someone will help clean up the mess. That's when they really become reckless.

  Unfortunately, Gu Mian's second aunt was this type of person.

  It's too heartless for Gu Meng to do such a thing, but it doesn't mean she was born to clean up other people's mess.

  She has made up her mind that this time she must give Second Uncle and Second Aunt a wake-up call, and can't let them continue to come to their doorstep every time something happens.

  She didn't care about words of gratitude, nor did she need to feel grateful, so this time she decided to turn overt into covert, quietly helping out behind the scenes while doing nothing on the surface, letting Second Aunt get anxious for a while. Even if Second Aunt thought she was heartless and ruthless because of this, it didn't matter; she wasn't concerned about that kind of talk anyway. What she cared about was being able to live a more comfortable life from now on.

  Her decision was unanimously approved by her mother and grandfather, who let her do it with ease. Moreover, her grandfather emphasized that if there were any places where money needed to be spent, he would let the second aunt and others solve it themselves, and there was no reason for them not to be punished for their mistakes.

  The other members of the Gu family were fine, but she was worried that it would affect her school-going daughter, Gu Nan.

  Fortunately, Erniang is a bit out of tune and loves to make trouble, but she attaches great importance to Gu Nai.

  Gu Nan is now in high school, which is a critical period for learning. Moreover, he is currently boarding at school and only comes back home once a week. This time, something happened at the restaurant, but Er Niang wisely didn't make a fuss about it and didn't tell Gu Nan about these annoying things. She even asked others to keep their mouths shut and not distract Gu Nan.

  Yu Xiao's actions were swift, and with just a few phone calls, she had basically grasped the situation. Most of the people who had food poisoning were in relatively light condition, but a small number of them showed some severe reactions. Gu Rong was not taken away initially, but later on, he was brought back, one of the reasons being that someone's condition among those with food poisoning had worsened.

  But according to the latest news, the person who was in a critical condition has improved a lot after receiving treatment from doctors and is now basically stable.

  Such news is good news for Gu Yong and Peng Jun. As long as the person who caused the trouble doesn't have a big problem, everything else can be slowly negotiated and resolved.

  When Gu Mei was busy operating, Er Niang didn't idle around either. She also knew that if she didn't want her husband and brother to get into big trouble, the first thing was that those people who were poisoned by food shouldn't have any major problems.

  She and Qiu Yan didn't dare to sit at home waiting for news, they took various comfort items to the hospital to ask for forgiveness from others, hoping to resolve things properly and not make a big deal out of it.

  Unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate it at all. Erniang and Qiu Yan were both driven out without even seeing the person's face.

  "Sister, Peng Jun and brother-in-law have been locked up for several days, I don't know how they are doing inside. Can we just stand by and watch?" Qiu Yan's face was full of worry, her eyes were red as she looked at Erniang.

  "Don't worry, just let Mangmang go ask Du Hao. This matter will definitely be resolved smoothly." Erni hurriedly replied.

  "But I saw Gu Mian and it seems like she doesn't want to go ask Du Hao, it's already been two days. She hasn't made any moves..." Qiu Yan said hesitantly.

  Second Aunt heard Qiu Yan's words and her heart also sank.

  Originally, according to her idea, it was a bit difficult for Gu Ning to ask Du Hao, but compared with Gu Ning's face problem, where is her husband and brother more important? Moreover, based on her understanding of her sister-in-law Ji Yun and father-in-law Gu Ning, they would not stand by and watch Gu Rong suffer without doing anything.

  In the end, even if Gu Mian was unwilling, under the double pressure of Grandpa and Mom, he would definitely have to go ask Du Hao for help.

  This time, however, things seemed to have turned out somewhat beyond her expectations. Although elder sister Ji Yun comforted her every day and told her not to worry, she didn't mention a word about letting Gu Mian go find Du Hao to plead for mercy, and Gu Mian didn't take any action either.

  It seems that this time, Eldest Sister and her family really don't care about Gu Rong's life or death?

  "Elder sister, it's not that I'm gossiping, but this Gu Mei is really too unreasonable. Such a big thing happened, and she only cares about her own face, without considering others' lives or deaths? Is she afraid of getting into trouble herself, so she..." Qiu Yan saw that Er Niang's expression wasn't good, so she lightly said these words.

  As expected, when Erniang heard Qiu Yan's words, her face turned even darker.

  Qiu Yan felt a surge of pleasure in her heart, not that she didn't care about Peng Jun's life or death, but rather that she really couldn't stand Gu Mei. Originally, Er Niang had promised her that as long as she followed Peng Jun and lived a peaceful life, there would be no problem with the new house at the time of their marriage, and guaranteed that her niece would let out the uninhabited house.

  As a result, she was rejected by Gu Mian in the end, and when she got married, she could only rent a house outside, but it made her very angry.

  Gu Mei's new house is in a high-end community with a good location, and she had already inquired about it before.

  Before, Gu Mingshe was reluctant to let out the house, now that she's helping, she's being hesitant and unwilling, naturally making Qiu Yan secretly resentful.

  Erniang was originally dissatisfied with Gu Mian, and now being provoked by Qiu Yan, her anger grew even more. She thought of the past when Old Master Gu was biased, and how Eldest Sister Ji Yun had used Old Master's money to buy a house for her own daughter without telling them. With old and new grievances combined, she immediately pulled Qiu Yan along, saying: "Come on, let's go to the Gu's house! Today we must get an explanation from them!"

  It was said that Second Aunt came to their doorstep in a rage, looking for an explanation, but Gu Mei didn't find it surprising at all.

  She stayed at home today just to wait for Second Aunt to come over. If Second Aunt didn't come, she would really feel surprised.

  "Oh no, Dad, Eldest Sister! My family's Gu Rong hasn't been released yet, I really can't go on living like this!" Er Ni rushed over to Ji Yun as soon as she entered the door.

  Grandpa was about to get angry at home again, so Gu Mei hurriedly coaxed him out and let him go chat with his old friends, so Grandpa wasn't at home at this time.

  "Alright, alright, don't rush." Ji Yun patiently helped Er Niang up and also invited Qiu Yan to come in and sit down.

  Gu Mei looked at Er Shu making a fuss but didn't say anything, she just acted as the host should and poured a cup of water for each of Er Shu and Qiu Yan.

  Second Aunt wailed for half a day, listening to Ji Yun's basket of comforting words, but not one sentence was what she wanted to hear. She became increasingly dissatisfied in her heart, feeling that both Eldest Sister-in-law and Gu Mian were not good people.

  And she waited for a long time without seeing her husband come out, thinking that he was probably coaxed away by his daughter and mother-in-law, hating them even more in her heart.

  Wailing is useless, pretending to be pitiful is useless. Second Aunt finally couldn't bear it anymore, wiping away her tears and questioning Gu Mian sternly: "Mianmian, don't you consider Gu Rong your own second uncle? Now that something has happened to him, all he needs is for you to ask a favor, but such a simple thing you can't even do. You really have no conscience!"

  "Second Aunt, you're going too far! How can I be so heartless? I'm also worried about Second Uncle's situation, but I have my own principles. Asking me to go beg Du Hao for mercy is impossible. Besides, I've already cut ties with him a long time ago, and you know it was he who regretted the marriage in the first place. If he had any true feelings for me, he wouldn't have done such a thing. Even if I were to go beg him now, it would only be humiliating myself, and it wouldn't make a difference anyway." Gu Mei responded just as bluntly as Second Aunt had spoken.

  Gu Mei rarely confronted Er Niang so directly, and after being shouted at by Gu Mei, Er Niang's arrogance was greatly reduced, and she stared blankly at Gu Mei, unsure of how to respond.

  Qiu Yan, who was standing beside her, immediately and imperceptibly pinched Er Shu.

  Second Aunt was in pain, and immediately remembered her purpose today, and added: "You don't try to know how you can do it, at that time your attitude is a bit softer, maybe Du Hao will agree."

  "Second Aunt, the most important thing right now is Second Uncle who's still being held at the police station. Are you sure you want to go ask a man for help who may or may not be willing to assist, instead of thinking of ways to make things easier for Second Uncle?" Gu Mian intentionally or unintentionally glossed over Peng Jun.

  "You didn't go ask Du Hao, how can your second uncle get better!" Erniang glared at Gu Mian angrily.

  Gu Mei's expression softened as she spoke to Er Niang, "Er Niang, why are you so stubborn? It's not like it has to be Du Hao who helps us. Think about it, the Du Corporation is so big, does Du Hao have time to deal with such trivial matters? Instead of relying on a glimmer of hope and asking Du Hao for help, wouldn't it be better to do something practical and try to resolve things ourselves?"

  "What do you mean by 'clearing the way'?" Erniang subconsciously covered her own bag and looked at Gu Mian, asking: "What do you mean, how to clear the way?"

  "They all say it's been smoothed out, of course that would cost money. I think Second Aunt understands more than me, she can't not understand." Gu Mian looked at Er Yi with an expression as sincere as possible.
