They gathered together and gossiped softly.
The matter of Gu Mocheng's marriage was no longer a secret, but news had spread and people knew that his wife was Su Anan.
"In order to avenge his own grandson, Old Lady Jiang captured Gu Mocheng's wife."
"Oh." So that was the reason, listening up till this point, he understood why Gu Mocheng suddenly attacked Jiang Family.
"Gu Mocheng even crippled both of Jiang Shengxu's legs." The rumors were exaggerated, but Gu Mocheng couldn't resist and hit Jiang Shengxu a few times.
"Jiang Shengxu deserves it."
Those who knew Jiang Shengxu well knew of her character, and no one felt that it was a pity for him to lose her life.
"The people of Jiang Family are short-sighted and think that they are powerful, but in truth, they can't even match up to the Gu family." While they were talking, someone mentioned something that happened ten years ago.
"It's not that Gu Mocheng got along well with Jiang Zhong's illegitimate daughter ten years ago, but at that time, the Gu family was opposed to it. They didn't want Jiang Family's illegitimate daughter to enter the Gu family's doorstep.
One of them spoke of the past, and the others told what they knew.
"How could the Old Lady Jiang allow her husband's illegitimate daughter to stay in the Jiang Family? She doesn't want the illegitimate daughter to marry into the Gu family and let the illegitimate daughter ride on her head."
"I heard that he was sold by the Old Lady Jiang." They whispered.
"I sold it!" Hearing this, the others were all shocked.
"How was it sold? Who did you sell it to!? " This matter piqued everyone's curiosity, they wanted to know who Old Lady Jiang sold the people to.
"No matter what, she is her husband's daughter, how could she be so heartless!"
"It's not like you haven't heard of the things that the Old Lady Jiang has done all these years. This man is vicious, otherwise how could he control the power of the Jiang Family? "
The more they spoke, the more excited they got, so much so that they didn't even notice that Old Lady Jiang was standing right behind them.
Where there were many women, there was a lot of gossip. A little bit of information would be exaggerated, and would be constantly spread. Old Lady Jiang listened to their discussion and clenched the wine cup in his hand with a heavy face.
She gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to go up and hit him.
If this group of women had dared to gossip at her banquet before, she would definitely have stepped forward and slapped them hard in the face before kicking them out of the banquet.
However, she couldn't do it today. She needed to win the support of the influential figures of the Peace City through them.
They still wanted to continue, but someone shot a glance at the gloomy Old Lady Jiang behind them.
They immediately stopped talking, turned around, and smiled at Old Lady Jiang.
Old Lady Jiang passed through them and went to the other side to toast.
The people of Old Lady Jiang did not go far, they started to discuss again.
"Did you see the man following behind the old lady? Although she called him a bodyguard, she actually had an affair with him."
"No way."
"Old Lady Jiang is so old, this man looks to be around 40 years old, how is that possible for them?"
This matter caused Old Lady Jiang's expression to turn even darker. Unable to endure it any longer, she dropped the cup in his hand.
The sound of the cup hitting the ground scared all the people who were discussing about Old Lady Jiang away.
The Old Lady Jiang clenched the humiliation in her hands tightly. Wait until the Jiang Family recovered his vitality, she would definitely tie these women up and beat his up.
"It's so lively." Just as Old Lady Jiang was thinking about it bitterly, he heard a familiar laugh coming from the entrance of the banquet.
She looked over and saw the Old Lady Gu bringing Su Anan in slowly.
Old Lady Gu took good care of her body. She wore a suitable qipao, high-heeled shoes, and a walking stick. Her hair was white at the temples because she looked haggard, and her face was full of wrinkles.
The two of them were at the same age, but Old Lady Gu looked energetic, her face brimming with a smile that was nourished by happiness.
With a smiling face and a gloomy face, everyone would choose to get close to the former.
"Old Lady Gu."
The Madam and the daughters took the initiative to open up a path. The Gu Family shouldn't be offended, but Old Lady Gu isn't the type of person who would cause trouble. If you don't offend her, she won't cause trouble for you.
"Han Yan." Old Lady Jiang hatefully called out his name.
Han Yan's name had suppressed hers for almost fifty years, and many people were still comparing them now.
They were all daughters of the Wealthy Class, one married to the leader of the Gu's, and the other married to the leader of the Wealthy Class.
The fates of the two were the opposite, however. Compared to the Old Lady Jiang, Old Lady Gu was much more blissful.
After the marriage of Old Lady Gu and Gu Zhen, the two of them had been in love and had given birth to two sons.
After the Old Lady Jiang got married, Jiang Zhong raised a lot of women outside, there were a few in the illegitimate daughter, and she gave Jiang Zhong a son and a daughter.
Her son had inherited Jiang Zhong's Blossom Heart, and there were many women outside. Her daughter was Jiang Mei, who had angered Su Hua's official wife to death and then married to him.
Just by this point, Old Lady Jiang was unable to compare to him.
Old Lady Gu's life in the Gu family was very comfortable, and sshe lived like a prince. After Jiang Zhong's death, although Old Lady Jiang had seized control of the Jiang Family, he had toiled for Jiang Family for many years. His beautiful face was filled with wrinkles, and he looked extremely disgusting.
"What are you doing here?" Old Lady Jiang watched as a smiling Old Lady Gu slowly walked towards him.
Old Lady Gu did not reply her. She turned her head and said to Su Anan who was behind her, "An An, Old Lady Jiang and I were friends when we were young."
Friend? Old Lady Jiang mocked Old Lady Gu coldly. The two of them were almost the same kind of enemy.
"Call me Auntie." The Old Lady Gu said again.
Su Anan looked at Old Lady Gu blankly. She did not have such a good temper and called him "Auntie".
"Oh, you can't call me out, right?" Old Lady Gu pretended to think of something, "Indeed, looking at her wrinkled face, it is normal for aunty to not be able to call out to you."
"Mommy wouldn't blame you for being rude." Old Lady Gu said to Su Anan.
Old Lady Gu wanted Su Anan to call him "Auntie" because she knew that Old Lady Jiang was old and ugly.
"Han Yan!" Old Lady Jiang said in a cold voice.
It was a face that all women cared about. Old Lady Jiang had toiled so hard for the Jiang Family, to the point where he did not have the time to look good, he felt that there was no need.
"Yes." Old Lady Gu laughed and replied, "What, am I wrong?"
"An An, do you have a mirror in your bag? Let Old Lady Jiang see herself. "
Su Anan obediently took out a mirror from her bag and handed it over to Old Lady Jiang.
She didn't want to look at the mirror that was placed in front of Old Lady Jiang, "Take it away."2
But she did see it.
The eye sockets in the mirror were sunken, the face was haggard, the forehead and eyes were full of wrinkles, and the skin was dry and flat.
In addition to the grey clothes, she was completely lifeless. She was just an ordinary old lady.
But compared to Han Yan who had a rosy complexion, she lost very badly.
She was not Han Yan, but a good man, and was always being spoiled by Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen had given her money so that she would never have any worries in her life.
She controlled the entire Jiang Family, busying herself from top to bottom.
"Han Yan, what is the meaning of your visit?" Old Lady Jiang endured his anger and said.
"I didn't invite you."
She followed, wanting to chase Old Lady Gu and Su Anan out.
Old Lady Gu looked at Su Anan and laughed, "An An, Mum told you that she is here to beat me up."
"You don't need to hit him, just smash him clean."
