Chapter 43: Peace Blessing

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai’s attention fell on the box in Gu Ming’s hands, causing her to question, “What is this?”

Gu Ming lifted the lid, presenting a jade pendant of a “peace blessing.”

The “peace blessing” didn’t stand out, in fact, it could be described as quite worn. A quick look could tell that it had been around for several years. It was the kind of thing most wouldn’t bother to look at twice.

But Gu Dai reacted with surprise when she saw the “peace blessing.”

Struggling to believe her own eyes, she rubbed them and took the “peace blessing” straight from Gu Ming’s hand, wondering, “Why is younger uncle’s peace blessing here?”

As a four-year-old, Gu Dai once found herself alone at home when a fire broke out, possibly due to dry weather. By the time the heat woke her up, the surrounding area was already on fire. Overwhelmed with fear, she cried loudly. That’s when her younger uncle braved the flames to rescue her.

s.h.i.+elded by her uncle, Gu Dai only had minor injuries. But the uncle succ.u.mbed to smoke inhalation and didn’t survive, even after being rushed to the hospital.

The “peace blessing” was a gift she had given to her uncle. Why was it now with Gu Ming?

Gu Ming didn’t directly answer Gu Dai’s question, but instead said, “Gu Dai, we’re all family. But you’ve frozen the cards of your elder uncle’s family. If your younger uncle knew this, he would be hurt.”

Gu Dai wasn’t easy to fool. She saw through Gu Ming’s intention.

Unable to hold back, she sneered, “1 think if my younger uncle knew you were asking for money using his name, he would be even more hurt! As far as 1 know, the cards tied to the elder uncle’s family are company property. Since I’ve taken over the company, the money is mine. Isn’t it normal to freeze non-company expenditures? Or are you implying that the elder uncle is so poor that he has to use someone else’s card?”

Gu Ming’s intentions were indeed as she said, but hearing it spelled out so plainly, he couldn’t help feeling humiliated. He blamed Gu Zhi in his mind. If she hadn’t complained about not being able to afford clothes and pushed him to ask Gu Dai for money, he wouldn’t have ended up in such an embarra.s.sing situation.

Gu Ming even harbored the thought of getting rid of Gu Zhi.

But Gu Dai enjoyed seeing Gu Ming in this state and suggested, “1 can lend money to my elder uncle.”

For a moment, Gu Ming was taken aback and looked at Gu Dai with disbelief.

Gu Dai didn’t meet Gu Ming’s gaze but continued, “I will ask Uncle Lin to transfer ten thousand to you.”

“What can ten thousand do?” Gu Ming roared, his eyes wide.

Su Ting, who had been standing quietly behind Gu Dai, stepped forward and blocked Gu Ming’s view. He looked at him coldly, replying, “Ten thousand is enough for an ordinary family to live on for a month.”

Seeing Su Ting in front of her, Gu Dai felt a sense of safety. She added, “If elder uncle thinks it’s too little, then I won’t ask Uncle Lin to transfer the money.”

Frustrated, Gu Ming clenched his fists.

He thought ten thousand was too little, but his funds had been frozen, and he only had a few thousand left. At this point, ten thousand was a significant sum for him.

Eventually, Gu Ming accepted the money, bowed, and left.

Before leaving, he turned and glared at Gu Dai, swearing in his heart that once he successfully moved the Gu family’s a.s.sets overseas in a few days, he would make Gu Dai kneel before him and apologize!

Su Ting immediately noticed Gu Ming’s hostile gaze. “Sister, 1 think Gu Ming is up to something.”

“I know,” Gu Dai quietly acknowledged, meeting Su Ting’s confused gaze. She bit her lip and added, “It’s part of my plan. Nothing will go wrong.”

Hearing Gu Dai’s words, Su Ting felt rea.s.sured.

At this moment, Gu Dai was completely focused on the “peace blessing.” She closed her eyes, recalling the recent events. Suddenly, she had a realization. Recalling a possibility, her eyes flickered with sharpness.

The doctor had said her younger uncle had died because he didn’t receive medical attention in time.. And the one who had brought her younger uncle to the hospital was Gu Ming!
