After his death, he could not tolerate being buried in the same grave as Wang Qiulan, allowing her to continue to disgust him and even his first wife.

Once this thought took root in his heart, it quickly grew into a towering tree, unshakable by anyone.

When he had passed, he wanted to lie in peace with his first wife.

Just the two of them, no addition of Wang Qiulan!

Everything today was orchestrated by him.

He knew that enrolling Lingyue into the family register would surely provoke Wang Qiulan to object.

Conveniently, on this day full of guests, he would divorce Wang Qiulan, sever ties with her two daughters, and have all the guests bear witness to it.

From now on, the Xiang Family would belong only to him and Lingyue.

When his time came, he would hand over a clean Xiang Family, belonging solely to Lingyue, into his hands.

Seeing Senior Master Xiang’s cold and resolute demeanor, Ye Xingbei leaned in and whispered to Gu Junzhu, “You say… this must be ‘love me, love my dog’, right?”

Because of his deep affection for his first wife, he cherished the grandson who entered his life later as if he were a treasured jewel.

Due to his disdain for Wang Qiulan, he abhorred her two daughters as well.

This must be a classic case of ‘love me, love my dog’.

“It’s not entirely the case,” Gu Junzhu held her hand, bowed his head slightly, and said softly, “For Xiao Yue, it’s ‘love me, love my dog’, but for his two daughters, it must be complete disappointment. If those two daughters had been of better character, content with their lot, perhaps Senior Master Xiang wouldn’t have been so heartless.”

“It’s difficult to achieve,” Ye Xingbei shook her head and sighed, “It’s not scarcity, but unfairness, that breeds discontent. They’re all descendants of the Xiang family, yet Xiao Yue could have everything while they get nothing. It’s too hard to ask them to calmly accept all this. After all, ‘men die for wealth, and birds die for food’. There are too few people in this world who don’t live for money.”

“I think you’re quite indifferent to money!” Gu Junzhu laughed as he rubbed the back of her head, “Look, I’m so wealthy, yet you don’t try to ingratiate yourself with me. Back then, it took me a great deal of effort just to keep you. How much easier it would have been if you were greedy for wealth? You would’ve come to me of your own volition.”

“Dream on!” Ye Xingbei retorted, “A gentleman loves wealth, in a proper way. Moreover, people with pride wouldn’t take handouts. People like me, aloof and upright, are something a worldly man like you wouldn’t understand!”

Unable to hold back a chuckle, Gu Junzhu clicked his tongue and said, “Ye Xiaobei, the ancients had it right: ‘One takes on the color of one’s company.’ Look at the way you talk; it’s getting more and more like me!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Indeed!

That shameless energy she just displayed, wasn’t it identical to Fifth Lord of Gu?

Ye Xingbei extended a finger to poke him covertly, “I’m a prime example of ‘He who walks with wolves will learn to howl’, how annoying!”

Gu Junzhu let out a low laugh, grabbing her finger and holding it in the palm of his hand.

They were the youngest in the crowd, standing at the very back, where their small gestures went unnoticed by others.

At the front of the crowd, Senior Madame Xiang was throwing a tantrum, crying and making a scene.

The two daughters of Senior Master Xiang were also crying rivers of tears, even kneeling and kowtowing in front of him, yet Senior Master Xiang remained unmoved.

The two sons-in-law of Senior Master Xiang were also kneeling before him, their faces ashen, filled with utter despair.
