Chapter 258: 259 Ji Pianran’s family is actually so wealthy?_1

At this point in the conversation, Shen Cuizhi hesitated briefly before nodding her head.

She looked earnestly at Ji Pianran, gritting her teeth and saying, "Alright, when he gets back, I’ll make sure he repays you!"

Gu Chen, deeply moved, watched the scene unfold before his eyes.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected Ji Pianran to take the money her mother gave her and use it to fill the hole his brother had made.

Over the years, their own family hadn’t cared about the couple at all, and Pian Ran’s life had indeed been hard.

For her to manage to do this was truly not easy.

Gu Chen smiled, "Actually, I have money, the money Mom gave, better to save it for yourself and Tangtang to spend."

In Gu Chen’s bank card, there was still nineteen hundred and ninety-something thousand yuan; he had only spent a few thousand in the past few days.

Money was not an issue for him.

He had actually planned to offer money himself, but hadn’t expected his wife to take the initiative and say everything he had intended to say.

Little did he know, Ji Pianran disagreed with his words upon hearing them.

She furrowed her brows.

"Is it the same? The money you earned is yours, and although this money isn’t earned by me, it’s still mine in the end. We’ve had hard times over these years, and as a daughter-in-law, I never even bought a piece of clothing for your parents. I truly want to help."

Although the money was given to her by her mother, it didn’t feel the same as using the hard-earned money of Gu Chen.

Money from parents was one’s own.

She simply wanted to use her own money to do something for the Old Gu Family.

As Ji Pianran spoke, her face was very serious, with her apricot eyes moist and staring straight at him, her gaze intense.

Gu Chen was moved.

He knew his wife’s obstinate nature.

If he didn’t let Ji Pianran use the money today, she might actually get angry with him.

Gu Chen smiled again, "Alright, alright, we’ll use yours."

After all, he had money; if his wife ran out he still had his. Let her have her way.

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran finally felt at ease and hurriedly helped Shen Cuizhi sit down on the small stool.

She pushed the egg pancakes Gu Chen had made closer to Shen Cuizhi.

"Mom, eat up. Once you’re full, Gu Chen and I will go back with you."

She had already made up her mind that after settling the money repayment, she and Gu Chen would go to Huacheng to get in touch with the local police.

They had to find Gu Zhigang, no matter what!

Shen Cuizhi nodded emphatically, "Good, very good."

Looking at her young daughter-in-law, she began to envy her unseen mother-in-law.

If only she had had a daughter, it would have been so comforting.

Although Gu Chen was good to her, sons and daughters were different, after all.

A daughter was attentive, would cuddle with her mother when idle, and confide in her.

She remembered when Ji Pianran first came to the village.

Sitting in the courtyard feeding chickens with her, following her to the woods to pick wild vegetables.

Shen Cuizhi couldn’t help but sigh.

She picked up the egg pancake from the plate and began to eat large bites.

In no time, she had cleaned the plate of pancakes.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had eaten her fill, Gu Chen poured her a glass of water, then said, "Mom, drink some water, and we’ll set off."

He wasn’t sure what circumstances his father and elder brother were in now.

They had to hurry over.

At this moment, Uncle Guang’s car had arrived at the door, with Xiao Tangtang sitting inside.

Originally, Wu Shuhui had wanted to hold her little granddaughter and keep her for the night, but the little one insisted on finding her parents.

Wu Shuhui, out of options, had asked Bai Guang to bring the child back.

Bai Guang parked the car and carried Tangtang down, heading toward the yard.

Just then, he saw Gu Chen, Ji Pianran, and Shen Cuizhi walking out.

They met face to face.

Seeing Shen Cuizhi, the little one excitedly waved her tiny hands and cooed, "Grandma hold, Grandma hold Tangtang."

Looking at the little one’s distressed look, Shen Cuizhi immediately rubbed her hands on her clothes before taking the child into her arms.

"Tangtang is such a good girl, truly granny’s precious granddaughter."

Such a cute child, even strangers would find her likable.

Let alone Shen Cuizhi being her biological grandmother, her affection was beyond compare.

She kissed Tangtang on the head and then turned to look at Bai Guang, who was wearing a white shirt. Because it was hot, he didn’t wear a jacket.

His trousers were silver-grey suit pants, and he wore leather shoes that shone brightly.

Not a speck of dust on them.

He looked just like a well-off city dweller.

Hearing the little one call out for grandma, Uncle Guang quickly nodded slightly, "Hello, big sister."

He was also forty this year, so calling Shen Cuizhi ’sister’ was not a problem at all.

Shen Cuizhi nodded, "Hello, hello."

After that, she couldn’t help but look at Ji Pianran’s face again, "And this is?"

Who was she talking about? She worried it might be Ji Pianran’s father.

From the look of his attire alone, one could tell he was wealthy.

If Pianran’s parents were so rich, would they look down on her family?

They say when you marry, you should marry someone of equal social standing. Looking at it now, the gap between her family and Pianran’s seemed too big.

At these words, Ji Pianran smiled.

"This is Uncle Guang, he’s very kind to me. He takes care of both the big and small affairs in our family."

She didn’t say that Bai Guang was actually the butler of her family.

Mostly because she feared startling Shen Cuizhi. At first, everyone thought she was fleeing hardship, and it had been that way for several years. Now suddenly she had become a young lady from a big family; such a change in status was like something out of a novel.

She was embarrassed to even bring it up herself.

Hearing the young lady’s introduction, Uncle Guang touched his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Miss, you shouldn’t praise me so much. I’m just a butler, simply doing what I should be doing."

This made Shen Cuizhi nervous.

Good gracious, even the butler had such an air about him.

What kind of people were Ji Pianran’s parents?

How wealthy must they be to employ a butler?

She really felt like her family was reaching above their station and grew worried that the Ji Family might look down on them.

And that they might eventually separate the two children.

These kinds of stories were not uncommon—the daughter of a wealthy family has a child with a poor boy, and later when her family comes, they take both the daughter and child away, never allowing them to be together again.

If something like this were to happen to Gu Chen, she wouldn’t be able to stand it.

Her eldest son’s life hung in the balance, and if her younger son also lost his wife and child...

It would be the death of her!

"Pianran, what do your parents do?"

Shen Cuizhi’s expression was somewhat frantic.

"They didn’t do much, just medicine production. You know, medicine makes money, so the family has earned some. Now dad is not well and getting treated in the hospital," Pianran explained.

Shen Cuizhi blinked and responded with an "Oh."

After the conversation, Gu Chen said to Uncle Guang decisively, "Uncle Guang, sorry to trouble you. There’s something at home, so I won’t keep you."

He was truly anxious to get back.

Uncle Guang also knew something had come up at Gu Chen’s house and hadn’t planned to stay long.

He smiled, "Big sister, I’ll be on my way then. You carry on."

After speaking, he also looked at Ji Pianran, "If there’s anything, remember to give a call."

Whether it was needing money or help, the Ji Family would naturally have no issues providing it.

Ji Pianran nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, everything is fine."

After exchanging pleasantries, they left the yard.

Earlier, Shen Cuizhi had been too agitated to notice her son driving a car, and didn’t have the mind to ask,

But now as they were about to leave, she finally asked, "Chen’er, what’s with the car?"
