Chapter 474: Not Giving You Any Money

Translator: _Min_ |

Xu Huan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, her voice filled with confusion as she asked, “What happened?”

Gu Ming trailed behind Xu Huan as they entered the villa, his voice soft with inquiry, “Mom, where have you been recently? Have you been well?”

Xu Huan, knowing her son’s character all too well, glanced at him before looking away, “Just get straight to the point of why you’re looking for me.”

Wiping away his tears, Gu Ming managed a smile, “Mom, what could it possibly be? I just… missed you, that’s all.”

Gu Dai interrupted Gu Ming, her voice calm, “Uncle, if you have nothing to say, you might as well go home.”

Seeing no change in Xu Huan’s expression, Gu Ming cursed Gu Dai inwardly before making his intentions clear, “Mom, remember I was short on money a while back? I borrowed some, but now I’m having trouble with cash flow, could you…”

Xu Huan’s expression darkened, “Give it up; I’m not giving you any money!”

Gu Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You always gave me money when I asked before. Why not now? Did someone say something about me?”

He turned to glare at Gu Dai, his features twisted in anger, “Gu Dai, was it you? Did you say something in front of my mom to make her refuse me money?”

As Gu Ming grew more incensed, he strode towards Gu Dai, raising his hand to strike her.

Su Ting stepped forward to s.h.i.+eld Gu Dai, kicking the approaching Gu Ming away, then turned with concern to ask, “Daidai, are you alright?”

Gu Dai shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Gu Ming climbed up from the ground, his gaze on Gu Dai venomous. He sneered, “Ah, I forgot you had such a protector. Gu Dai, you have the nerve to badmouth me behind my back, and now you don’t have the courage to face me?”

Gu Dai stepped out from behind Su Ting and delivered another kick to Gu Ming’s other leg. Before he could rise, she stepped on him again.

The heel of her high-heeled shoe seemed to pierce his flesh, causing Gu Ming to fall to the ground, groaning in pain. He looked up at Xu Huan, pleading, “Mom, save me!”

Ultimately, Gu Ming was Xu Huan’s own son. Seeing this scene, she couldn’t bear it, “Daidai, that’s enough.”

Feeling the pain on his leg subside, Gu Ming sighed in relief, his voice filled with grievance, “Mom, I’m glad you’re here. Otherwise, I might have been beaten to death today.”

Xu Huan’s gaze turned icy as she questioned Gu Ming, “Where did all your money go?”

Gu Ming’s heart skipped a beat, his gaze darting away from Xu Huan, his reply soft, “I… just spent it on normal living expenses.”

He paused for a few seconds before hastily adding, “Mom, let’s not talk about that. Just lend me some money to pay back others.”

Gu Dai couldn’t help but chuckle.

Gu Ming frowned, “What are you laughing at?”

Gu Dai replied, “Uncle hasn’t finished telling us where he spent his money. Let me fill in the details for you.”

Gu Ming panicked, his voice frantic, “Gu Dai, you wouldn’t dare!”

Xu Huan shot Gu Ming a stern look before turning to Gu Dai, “Go ahead, Daidai. Don’t be afraid of him.”

Gu Dai revealed, “Uncle borrowed money to pay off gambling debts.”

Xu Huan trembled with anger, grabbing a book from the table and hurling it at Gu Ming, “Get out! Leave now and don’t let me see you again!”

Struck by the book, Gu Ming knew he wouldn’t get any money today with how angry Xu Huan looked. Glaring viciously at Gu Dai, he left.

Xu Huan slumped into a chair, her gaze lost as she looked at Gu Dai, “I used the same method to raise your father and your uncle. Why did they turn out so differently?”

Gu Dai took Xu Huan’s hand, “Grandma, maybe everyone’s character is inherently different. Don’t be upset.”

After a moment of silence, Xu Huan’s expression softened, “Alright, I won’t fret. With you here, Daidai, I have nothing to worry about.”

Gu Dai mentioned, “Grandma, your 70th birthday is in two days. You should rest up.”

Xu Huan smiled in agreement, “Okay.”

After ensuring Xu Huan was asleep, Gu Dai returned to the company.

Though she had been working even while at Lingtai Mountain, there were still projects that had piled up, making things difficult to manage.

Su Ting offered, “Sis, let me help you with that.”

Gu Dai stopped him, “The effects of the medicine are still lingering in your body. Just stay by my side.”

Su Ting looked at Gu Dai with a pitiful gaze.

Overwhelmed by Su Ting’s pleading look, Gu Dai finally relented, “Fine, you can handle some of the easier tasks..”
