Chapter 245 - 245 244 This Really is Big Trouble Now
?Chapter 245: Chapter 244 This Really is Big Trouble Now Chapter 245: Chapter 244 This Really is Big Trouble Now Huo Ye had actually believed Luo Ning’s words and felt that the Gou Family and Feng Family were really shameless.
In fact, not only Huo Ye, most of the people present believed it too.
It was just that Luo Ning spoke so convincingly, as if it were all true.
Upon careful consideration, everyone also felt it seemed to make sense.
Otherwise, why would Old Man Gou be so good to his stepdaughter, abandon his own daughter, but instead bring the stepdaughter’s daughter into the company and even plan to have her inherit it?
Those present were either powerful elites or wealthy businessmen, and bloodline was very important to them all.
Allowing Feng Yuxiao to inherit the Gou Group meant that the family name would change to Feng in the future, and even if Old Man Gou was swayed by pillow talk, he couldn’t be that foolish.
There was only one explanation left—the truth that Luo Ning had revealed.
Old Man Gou had an affair with his stepdaughter and then Feng Yuxiao was born—that’s why he wanted this illegitimate daughter to return and take over the Gou Family.
Just like Luo Ning said, even if she was an illegitimate daughter, she still carried the blood of the Gou Family.
Perhaps they could later pretend to arrange an adoption and have Feng Yuxiao change her surname to Gou; that would work too.
It had to be said that everyone’s imaginations were quite impressive.
In fact, it wasn’t just the other people present who believed it, even Feng Yanbai couldn’t help but start to doubt.
After all, Gou Zhenmei’s flirtatious ways were not ordinary when she seduced him back then.
Their first time, although Gou Zhenmei intentionally got him drunk, he was still very clear that she was not a virgin.
So, this despicable woman had already been involved with Old Man Gou—had he become a cuckold?
No, the more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt.
His gaze towards Gou Zhenmei was now off.
At the same time, he prepared to have a paternity test done with Feng Yuxiao afterward.
After all, Feng Yuxiao didn’t really resemble him; maybe he was really wearing a green hat.
Thinking back, the relationship between Gou Zhenmei and Old Man Gou was indeed quite close; she would often make soup and actively bring it to the old man to drink, and whenever they went out to banquets or shopping, as long as Bao Baoyu wasn’t there, she would take the initiative to link arms with the old man.
He previously only thought that Old Man Gou and Gou Zhenmei, not being blood-related, seemed more like a real father and daughter.
But after Luo Ning pointed it out, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed there was something wrong with these two—no stepdaughter and stepfather should be that intimate.
The more Feng Yanbai thought about it, the more he felt like a cuckold, almost turning literally green.
Especially the elites present and the wealthy people in the circle, their looks towards him were almost the same as looking at a green turtle.
He felt extremely embarrassed and didn’t want to participate in the auction anymore; driven by Huo Ye’s actions, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go, back home!”
Gou Zhenmei knew Feng Yanbai very well; seeing him like this, she knew he believed that little bitch’s words.
If there were really such a thing, she would admit it.
But how could she possibly have an affair with the old man? Her care and closeness to the old man were only for the Gou Family’s wealth and to keep the old man from recognizing Jiang Xinxin as his own.
Now, no matter how much she tried to explain, it was indescribable how wronged she felt.
Bao Baoyu also never expected Luo Ning to be so shameless as to sling such filth on her daughter and husband.
In the past, it was always her throwing dirt on others, creating public opinion attacks; this was the first time she was dealt with by the same method, and it was an unspeakably stifling experience.
Being a smart woman, she knew that explaining in public wouldn’t be very useful at the moment—they could only clear things up afterward.
So, she stepped forward and took hold of Gou Zhenmei, “She’s just deliberately spreading rumors. We walk the honest path; let her be.”
She also secretly resented why her daughter had to provoke this sharp-tongued little wretch at such an event.
Little did she know, Gou Zhenmei hadn’t taken in her words at all and was momentarily spaced out.
She was uncontrollably agitated inside, flung Bao Baoyu aside, and glared at Luo Ning with viciousness as she cursed, “You little slut, you’re just as annoying as your slut mother. Why don’t you two just go die.”
Under the influence of the evil spirit, Gou Zhenmei gradually lost her rationality, and her mind was somewhat unclear, filled only with hatred towards Luo Ning and her daughter.
“I should never have held back, letting Jiang Xinxin, that slut, live to come back.”
“Just a few days ago, those people were so useless, they couldn’t even manage to kill you.”
Luo Ning curled her lips into a smile. This was exactly what she wanted to hear. It definitely had been a good move to enrage this woman with an evil spirit.
Narrowing her eyes, she said, “You’ve finally admitted it. The so-called leaving home that my mother did when she was young was your doing. You wanted her dead.”
“After her accident, she realized something wasn’t right, which is why she was forced to leave the Imperial Capital.”
“But even though she had moved far away, you still wouldn’t leave her alone.”
“A few days ago, there were assassins from the International Black Alliance trying to murder my mother and brother. Turns out it was also your doing.”
“You act as if the Gou Group is some priceless treasure. Right here in front of everyone, I declare that my mother, my brother, and I don’t give a damn about the Gou Group.”
“We would refuse anything from the Gou Group, even if it were given to us. We find it repulsive.”
With a cold snort, she continued, “I’ve exposed your dirty deeds today. If you want to keep hiring killers to silence us, bring it on. We’re ready to fight to the end.”
She purposefully reaffirmed the acts of Gou Zhenmei and Old Man Gou.
Everyone was shocked to discover that such things had happened.
The way they looked at Gou Zhenmei was now tinged with surprise and disgust.
This woman had seduced someone else’s father and was trying to kill her own daughter’s family. Now, having had her dirty deeds exposed, she seemed even crazier, utterly despicable.
People decided that they needed to stay far away from such a person in the future; nothing good could come of association.
Especially the affair between the stepdaughter and stepfather completely disgusted them.
By extension, the way they looked at Old Sir Gou was filled with disgust and disdain.
Old Man Gou was well-aged, yet he had taken a step-wife and even dabbled with his stepdaughter, leading to the birth of an illegitimate child. He had the Feng Family carry the blame, watching the stepdaughter harm his biological daughter; he was ruthless.
They resolved never to cooperate with the Gou Group again. With a chairman like that, it was doubtful the company would amount to anything good in the future.
Didn’t they see that Luo Ning and her family wanted nothing to do with the filthy Gou Group?
Moreover, everyone noticed that Luo Ning had good relations with the young masters of the Lu Family, the Huo Family, the Fu Family, the Yu Family, and the Ji Family.
Having made connections with these men, who would fear the Gou Group?
Luo Ning and her family were relentlessly targeted by Gou Zhenmei’s crazed and sinister plot; how could they not seek revenge?
The Gou Family was in for serious trouble; recently, their stocks had been plunging, and one project after another had failed.
It seemed that the Feng Family might also suffer, given their deep entanglement with the Gou Family.
In the future, everyone wanted to distance themselves from these two families.
At that moment, Bao Baoyu genuinely wanted to slap her own daughter. Why had she foolishly revealed the business of hiring killers?
There had been a reasonable explanation that could have been made, but now, this outburst only gave credence to the filthy accusations spewed by that little slut. It infuriated her.
Plus, the old man didn’t know anything about this, but no matter what, Jiang Xinxin was still his biological daughter.
If the stepdaughter had actively sought to harm his biological daughter, he probably wouldn’t think kindly of it; indeed, it would not bode well.
Old Sir Gou had not yet made clear there was nothing indecent between him and his stepdaughter, it was all this scourge spreading nonsense.
But little did he expect that his stepdaughter, who he thought was always kind and considerate, would actually admit to having hired killers against his daughter.
One shock after another turned his face pale, and in his anger, he fainted.
“Husband, what’s wrong with you?” Bao Baoyu was startled as Old Sir Gou suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Now the trouble was really big.
