At the break of dawn the next day, Gu Ruinian arrived at the Gu Family's doorstep.
The entire Tong Huaqiong family walked Gu Jingzhe out, only to see elder members of the old residence surrounding Gu Ruinian with reminders.
"Sister-in-law." Sister-in-law Jia greeted warmly.
The old Mrs. Gu merely snorted in response.
This was the first direct confrontation between Tong Huaqiong and the people from the old residence since their quarrel on Mr. Gu's death anniversary.
Tong Huaqiong nodded at Mrs. Jia as a form of greeting.
"Aunt, thank you for allowing Brother Jingzhe to take me to the provincial city." Gu Ruinian said gratefully to Tong Huaqiong.
"The family has a carriage, bringing one more person is no trouble." Tong Huaqiong couldn't stand Gu Ruinian's false gratitude.
Whenever she thought of how Gu Ruinian might be an old single man in the future, yet here he acted all innocent, it made her stomach turn.
