My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 80 I'm your father!
Seeing the disdain in their eyes, Gu Xingzhao really wanted to laugh. It was just a stone bench; who in the neighborhood hadn't sat on it? If you can sit, sit; if you can't, then forget it. Why be so fussy?

Gu Chengzhang suppressed his displeasure and sat down beside her. "Xiao Zhao, aren't you running a supermarket now? Dad has a batch of goods that I can sell to you for half the purchase price."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhao raised an eyebrow. Half the purchase price?
Is this old man really that kind-hearted?
Gu Xingzhao didn't believe it. "No need. My supermarket is small and can't sell that much stuff. You can keep it for yourself."

As she spoke, she got up to leave, but Guan Lian blocked her way.

The couple, one on each side, earnestly advised her, "Xiao Zhao, think about it, with such a cheap price, you can sell it however you like and make a fortune!"

"Yes, it's a sure thing, you won't have to stay in this tiny supermarket in town anymore, you can go to the city too."

The two men's unusual attitude made Gu Xingzhao vaguely guess that Gu Chengzhang must have gone to the wholesale factory yesterday to try and sell the goods there, but it didn't work out.

If he's willing to pay half the price, either he's desperately short of money, or there's something wrong with the goods.

If it's the former, Old Li from the wholesale factory would definitely accept the price. So it can only be the latter: there's something wrong with this batch of goods, and nobody wants them, which is why the two of them have turned their attention to him.

Having figured this out, Gu Xingzhao sneered inwardly, thinking, "That old man really knows how to scheme."

Finally realizing why this family had come to find her, she felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly. Too lazy to waste any more time with them, she said, "Don't waste your breath. Even if you gave it to me for free, I wouldn't want it."

The couple's expressions changed. "What's wrong with you, child? You won't listen to anything I say!"

Unable to maintain his previous polite demeanor any longer, Gu Chengzhang launched into a tirade against Gu Xingzhao, yelling, "I'm your father! You have to listen to what I say, have I ever given you face?!"

He adopted the authority of the head of the household, trying to intimidate Gu Xingzhao: "Let me tell you, if you anger me, you won't even have the old house you're living in now!"

Guan Lian, meanwhile, played the good guy, offering kind words and appearing to be thinking of Gu Xingzhao's best interests, saying, "Xiao Zhao, don't be angry with your dad. He's only doing this for your own good. Look, you're still living in your dad's house."

Seeing that the two were still trying to threaten him with the house, Gu Xingzhao sneered, "Old fools, I'm giving you a bit of face, and you're really putting on an act?"

“The house was bought by my grandfather back then, and the property rights were transferred to my name a long time ago. You don’t think that the house will belong to you after my grandfather died, do you?”

She was thankful that her grandfather was a sensible man who had consulted a lawyer and made a will early on; otherwise, the house would have really fallen into the hands of this scumbag.

Gu Chengzhang's face was grim. He hadn't expected the old man to give the house to his granddaughter. Since ancient times, only sons have inherited property. Women have never been involved. He was utterly muddle-headed!

Guan Lian, standing to the side, frowned deeply. She had always known that her husband's family had an old house. She had originally looked down on this dilapidated house, but now the situation was different. Selling this dilapidated house could bring in some money, so why did they give it to this little slut?

Looking at Gu Chengzhang's face, which was even blacker than the bottom of a pot, Gu Xingzhao said in a deep voice, "By the way, my father died early, my mother remarried, and I am the only one on the household registration. Please don't harass me anymore, or I will call the police."

As she spoke, she walked past the two of them and went straight home. Behind her, Gu Chengzhang was chasing after her, cursing loudly. Lightning bolts were ready to be unleashed in his hand, ready to strike if they dared to catch up!
At this moment, Gu Xingzhao seemed to see the figure who had been standing outside the Guan family's gate and suffering humiliation more than ten years ago. Only now, he had grown into an adult who could protect himself and no longer needed a guardian.

With a loud bang, she locked the supermarket door, keeping the buzzing flies out.

A family of three stood outside, carrying gifts they couldn't give away, and passersby would occasionally turn around to look at them.

Guan Lian looked at her husband with a displeased expression, "This little hussy won't listen, what do we do now?"

Gu Chengzhang took a few deep breaths and looked at Guan Shun. "What's this about her being so popular online?" Guan Shun took out his phone from his pocket and showed them the videos from the past few days. "It's this one. It's over 100 million views and almost 10 million likes across the internet!"

He originally wanted to take a photo with Gu Xingzhao and post it online to ride the wave of popularity. He was sure it would increase his followers, and he could become a minor internet celebrity. Maybe he could even be noticed by a director and act in a movie or go on a talent show to become a big star.

Guan Lian was surprised, "So many people are watching?"

She's living up to the standards of celebrities! How come this little vixen is so lucky?
Watching the video, Gu Chengzhang had an idea. He looked at his stepson and asked with a smile, "Xiao Shun, do you want to be famous?"

Guan Shun nodded repeatedly; he dreamed of becoming a star.

After seeing off that eccentric family, Gu Xingzhao had just sat down to rest when he heard He Zhen calling him.

He Zhen held the paper tube and tentatively called out twice, "Gods, Gods, can you hear me?"

Gu Xingzhao immediately replied, "I'm here. What is it?"

Hearing the divine response, He Zhen was deeply shocked. Such a small paper tube could actually transmit messages; what a divine object!
Thinking of this, her hands trembled as she held the paper tube. She treated it with utmost respect, carefully placing it back on the table, afraid of breaking it.

"The matter you asked me to handle has made progress. Today, I took those portraits to a shop that hasn't won first place in recent years. The shopkeeper agreed as soon as he saw the portraits, and said that if we can win first place this year, he will definitely reward us handsomely."

Gu Xingzhao was surprised that the matter was handled so quickly!
"I've prepared the fireworks, and they'll be delivered in the next couple of days. You should spend some money to rent a house in the city again, and find a few reliable guards."

Once the fireworks become famous and known throughout the city, there will inevitably be people who covet them, and He Zhen and her daughter living outside the city may be in danger.

He Zhen never expected things to go so smoothly. When the boss saw the portrait, he was overjoyed, as if he had found a priceless treasure.

She turned her head and thought for a moment, probably because she thought the portrait was beautiful.

That makes sense, given the exquisite skill of the painting; it was, after all, a gift from the gods.
He Zhen was grateful and felt a warmth in her heart. She naturally understood the meaning of the gods; they were worried about her safety.

“I understand. Tomorrow I will go to the city to find a new house and hire back the guards and old women from before.”

Gu Xingzhao asked with some concern, "Is it reliable?"

He Zhen: "They are all reliable people from my old family. Before my father-in-law had the accident, he gave them resettlement money so they could go to safety. Several of them have recently sent me things."

She was certain of this.

Gu Xingzhao was relieved and asked about the merchant, "By the way, which merchant were you looking for?"

She had heard Lu Qing mention several famous businesses in the capital, but she didn't know which ones they were. They were so straightforward; they seemed like a worthwhile business partner.

He Zhen replied, "Reporting to the deity, it is the Xu family's business."
