Chapter 221: A Comparison Between the Sisters

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a one-hour trip, they arrived at Changning County. The car stopped outside the small villa of the Gu family. Gu Yin immediately pulled the car door open and hopped out. Her eyes were droopy and it was hard to see her expression. She quickly pat her shirt.

The Gu family had built a villa in the county over ten years ago. It was built to look really nice. As time passed, the houses of the people in the county became increasingly exquisite and only the Gu family’s remained the same. Everyone in the county was gossiping that the Gu family’s businesses must have gone bankrupt.

The Lei family began to stray further away from the Gu family as they seemed to be getting poorer and poorer. They were really pragmatic. Despite this, the heads of the Gu family treated their kids really well.

They hired a piano teacher for Gu Yin and they sent Gu Si to the best primary school in the province. The longest that Gu Mang had stayed in any school was just one year. She always transferred from one to another and it cost the family quite a bit.

When her mother and father passed away, it was revealed that they had left behind a large inheritance. Everyone was stunned. They were so low profile about their wealthiness. They had property assets in several big cities and a large sum of cash. They eventually gave everything to their second daughter and left nothing behind for their eldest daughter and youngest son.

At first, they thought that they could see the eldest daughter and youngest son causing a ruckus at the funeral. However, the two children actually did not speak about it at all.

The Lei family got into a large squabble instead. They all fought over who should take custody of Gu Yin. Seeing that there were so many people pacing back and forth at the Gu family’s gate, all of the neighbors became curious.

The key to the small villa was in the hands of the Old Master of the Lei family.

Although it was a small villa in the county, furniture inside was about the same as those in the city. They were all of high quality.

Now, they were all in the living room.

The Old Master and Old Madam sat on the main sofa.

Gu Mang was the last to enter. She squinted as she saw that there were some minor changes to the small villa.

Her Mom and Dad liked calligraphy and collectibles. There were several of them in the house. Although they were not famous antiques, they were rather valuable. The paintings that were once there were all gone. So were the collectibles. It seemed like they had all been sold.

The hall was very crowded. On the table, there were prayer items such as candles, joss sticks, and incense paper.

A group of people were looking at Xia Mingzhu and Lei Xiao, as well as their family. Upon seeing Gu Mang, their attitude was better than the previous time. Everyone paid attention to Gu Yin and they kept praising her.

Gu Yin’s results surpassed 700 marks. Everyone in the family knew. They all said that Gu Yin was definitely going to be a prospective student of Capital University.

The best university in the country, Capital University.

Gu Yin smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, Grandma.”

“Grandpa, Grandma.” Gu Mang greeted them respectfully. The corner of her lips were curled up and her expression was unclear.

The Old Master always felt that the corner of Gu Mang’s lips were an eyesore. He tapped his fingers on his dragon head walking stick and nodded. He did not speak up. This granddaughter of hers was really not as lovable as Gu Yin.

The Old Madam held the hands of the two girls and smiled warmly. She seemed to have thought of something and she looked towards the door. With a strange look, she asked. “Why didn’t Gu Si come back?”

Gu Mang repeated what she had said to Xia Mingzhu. The Old Madam did not say anything. They engaged in some small talk politely.

Lei Xiao spoke up. “Let’s talk about the past another day. We have a flight at 9pm tonight. Time is tight. Let’s head to the cemetery first.”

He looked at his wristwatch. It was already almost 2pm.

Everyone agreed. “Yeah, yeah. Let’s head over to the cemetery, it’s not early now.”

Changning County carried out burial processes there. The cemetery was less than 1km away from the county.

The family walked there.

Gu Mang knelt before the grave and burned some incense paper. Her eyelids were drooping and her expression could not be seen clearly due to her hat. She was biting her thin lips slightly.

Gu Yin was crying loudly.

Seeing the reaction of the two sisters, everyone frowned.
