Chapter 10 Cruel people
Lu Nanting was the type to take advantage of any opportunity; not only did he not take it, he even moved closer to her.

“Our Xixi is so amazing! If I were in that situation, I definitely couldn’t do as well as you.”

Having understood the root of her problem, Lu Nanting felt relieved rather than afraid.

Knowing where the problem lies and addressing it accordingly is always more effective than trying things randomly.

Gu Lanxi felt as if she had punched cotton.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After the incident, the first thing she had to do was to arrange the funerals for the three elders.

Because of her betrayal and the family's ruthless abandonment, the scumbag father, who lost both his parents in a single day, completely broke down.

Adding to the trouble, the mistress called and said that their heir to the throne had a fever and was hospitalized, so the scumbag father actually returned to Jiangnan overnight.

Before leaving, she packed up and sold all her family's assets at rock-bottom prices as quickly as possible. Even her textbooks and old clothes were wrapped in bed sheets and dragged out to be sold to a recycling station.

Compared to Gu Lanxi, her interpersonal skills are worlds apart, leaving countless people speechless!
Seeing that he was about to leave, abandoning not only his wife but also his parents, the clansmen hurriedly stopped him and made him take responsibility. He then acted like a rogue, even getting into a fight with a twelve-year-old child.
"That's ridiculous! I'm not one of your family-oriented people, so why should I care about your family matters? Isn't Gu Lanxi a bit too arrogant? With her here, do you need us busybodies?"

His clan condemned him for not wearing mourning clothes for his parents, deeming it extremely unfilial, yet he still had something to say:
"I am an unfaithful and unfilial person, I don't know anything about loyalty and filial piety! Get out of my way!"

He had intended to play hard to get, having people beg him repeatedly before he would stay, and even wanted his family to rescind their decision to expel him from the clan.

He even went so far as to use his son as an example for this.

If things didn't go his way, he not only refused to carry the funeral banner and buy water for his parents, but he also refused to let his son come back to see his parents off in their final days, which made people furious!
Having just made a big show of protecting the family's reputation, a group of elders met up and discussed the matter, and surprisingly decided to have Gu Lanxi handle it directly.

Gu Weihao has indeed been expelled from the clan, and his illegitimate son will never be recognized!
If I don't want to come back, who cares?
Now that the clan rules have been changed, boys and girls should enjoy the same status!

With Gu Lanxi around, if he insists on doing something so irrational, just let him be!

As for whether her grandparents would curse her from below, that's not their concern.

He doesn't manage his household well and has no ability either; he deserves it!

Once the money for the funeral is raised for them, these relatives will have done their utmost.

Upon learning that her scumbag father had abandoned her, twelve-year-old Gu Lanxi not only remained calm but also rose to the challenge, handling the matter brilliantly.

The money was provided, and the physically demanding tasks were also handled by others. All she had to do was keep vigil, mourn, and greet guests.

In addition, the funeral was not a big affair, and all the guests were family relatives, so it was really not difficult to manage at all.

She was straightforward and honest in her dealings. After the funeral, she even collected all the condolence money she had received and returned some of the money spent on the funeral to each household.

Although the debt has not been fully repaid, this attitude alone makes people look at them with more respect.

At midnight, candlelight flickered in the mourning hall, and three black coffins were arranged in a triangular shape in the main room, the air filled with the smell of incense and paper money.

She wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was even in the mood to frame her scumbag father. She cried pitifully while burning paper money, listlessly listing all of his faults. If it weren't for the need to gain people's trust, she would have started telling the story before she was even born.

It's no wonder she did it.

After all, her scumbag father ran away, and she still had to live in her hometown; a good reputation was important.

For several days in a row, she cried and burned paper money at the funeral while complaining to her relatives about her miserable life and having such an unreliable father.

Grandpa and Grandma giving birth to him was worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork!

The blame was repeatedly placed on him, with remarkable effect. Even now, when family and friends mention him, they still shake their heads, as if anyone who sympathizes with him is the same kind of person he is.

At the tender age of twelve, with no one behind her back giving her advice, she was able to do such a thing. For a long time, the people around her looked at her as if she were a monster.

No one gave her a nickname anymore, and people no longer dared to bully her just because she was young. She became a notorious ruthless person.

Because of her family, the Gu family was embroiled in the biggest scandal in a century, and in the end, her father took all the blame.

The matter was put on hold, but she only got superficial recognition.

Her grandparents' and mother's memorial tablets could still be placed in the ancestral hall, and her name was also written in the family genealogy, but this also plunged her into extreme poverty.

Some of her clansmen hated her to the core because she was in the same situation as her scumbag father.

Some people treated her very well because her actions greatly protected their rights.

So, in the two years that followed, before she went to university with a scholarship, while some people tried to trip her up, many others secretly helped her so that she wouldn't starve.

Because she is a minor, even if she wins the inheritance from her three elders, with her father as her guardian, it won't end up in her hands. If she waits until she comes of age to fight for it, her scumbag father might even prepare a huge debt package for her.

So one night, a clan aunt secretly approached her and told her to take the opportunity to dump her father and find herself a new guardian.

Back then, she was eating leftovers at the clan chief's house, living under the stairs, and wearing hand-me-down clothes. If she wanted to go to school, she had to kneel and cry to her ancestors in the ancestral hall to collect her tuition fees the next day.

Because her mother died, there were countless people who hated her at that time. Even if someone wanted to be kind to her, they didn't dare to help her openly.

With autumn fast approaching, she was still sleeping on a hard wooden plank under the stairs when her aunt's words woke her up, and she immediately took action.

During that time, she followed her aunt's advice and became notorious for her misery. The community intervened several times and even alerted the police, but her father only felt pleased and didn't care about her. In the end, he even stopped answering her phone calls.

After all, he had a son and a daughter, his first wife had died, and now his mistress had entered the family, making them a complete family again. He didn't care about this daughter who hadn't grown up by his side and was as heartless as her mother.

Since he had already been expelled from the clan, Gu Weihua had given up all hope and had no intention of coming back in this lifetime, so he acted recklessly.

The Gu family couldn't bear the shame, so they eventually gave in to Gu Lanxi's wishes.

Gu Weihao lost her guardianship due to the crime of abandonment.

She was successfully adopted by a clan whose lineage had died out, becoming the sole heir of one branch of the family and the sole heir of another.

Since then, her father and his children have never returned, and her grandparents can no longer even enjoy the incense offerings she used to look down on.

The grandmother who adopted her treated her like a stranger, and left all her inheritance to her nephew from her maternal family, but Gu Lanxi did not blame her.

Because that old woman was simply following the clan's arrangement, giving her a title rather than sending her to an orphanage and causing her to lose face as a member of the Gu family.

But after her grandmother passed away, she would always return to her hometown every Qingming Festival to burn an enormous amount of incense, candles, and paper money for her, and place the finest offerings on the table.

Although she wasn't superstitious, she would still persist in doing it even if there was only the slightest possibility that it would drive her grandparents crazy in the afterlife.

Because of this, she would laugh out loud even in her dreams.

It is truly beneficial to both body and mind.

It's a pity that such a low-cost joy only comes once a year.

Strive for self-improvement and never stop on the road to making money.

She is as ruthless as a snake, prioritizing her own interests in crucial moments and never considering what will happen to those who treat her badly.

Young Master Lu's first impression of her was quite objective.

This seemingly gentle woman is actually a domineering lion at heart.
