plied softly, her tone finally easing slightly. 。The mother and daughter chatted in short bursts for a while, before the mother fell asleep without realizing it. The daughter couldn't sleep, waiting u...While taking off his shoes in the entryway, holding a laptop in one hand, Tinglan answered his question.

“About the village relocation, a few families we talked to yesterday went all the way to the Gu Shi Group. Their real estate team called me and asked me to go there as soon as possible.”

"Just wait for me, I'll go with you." Zhuo Yunan was still in his pajamas and planned to change into a different outfit before going out with her.

"No, you're going to take the children to school soon. Gu Ruandong also hurried over, with him there, nothing will happen."

Having heard that Gu Ruandong was also there, Zhuo Yu'an felt relieved. Besides, there were two children at home, so it would be impossible to leave them alone. It seemed that he really couldn't accompany her.

Then be careful!

Zhuo Yu'an walked her to the elevator entrance. As they waited for the elevator, Shu Tinglan turned around, put her hands on his neck and tiptoed up, giving him a kiss and saying, "Don't worry."

Then let him go and enter the elevator.

Zuo Yu'an suddenly felt like he was a stay-at-home husband, sending his wife out to work to earn money for the family. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile. He had to admit, this feeling was pretty good. It seemed like he really needed to consider retiring early. After all, who would meet a wife who was even more dedicated to her work than him

Shu Tinglan drove to work. It wasn't rush hour yet, so the road was clear and she arrived at Gu Group in less than half an hour. As she got out of the car, she saw Gu Ruandong also getting out. There were a few wrinkles on his black shirt, probably because he hadn't gone home last night.

Neither of them spoke, both strode towards the Gu Group.

On her way to Shutinglan, she kept replaying the conversation she had with the two households surnamed Chen yesterday. Besides later on, in order to quiet them down and let her speak...

Besides raising her voice, she didn't say anything inappropriate. She has always been very careful. Of course, when she left at last, it wasn't impossible that the Gu family would develop around this land, as she just said it wasn't impossible.

I didn't expect them to make such a big deal out of this one sentence.

Sure enough, the two Chen households and several other neighbors, about ten people in total, immediately became excited when they saw Shu Tinglan come. They scrambled to their feet from the ground, pointing at her and cursing her. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“It’s her, it’s her who threatened us. She said that if we don’t sign, the Gu family will cut off our water and electricity supply later on, forcing us to leave. Or they might directly bypass our buildings and construct skyscrapers next to them, leaving our buildings in perpetual darkness, unable to live in. Then, we won’t get any compensation and nowhere to go. You’re a lawyer with such a pretty appearance, how can you have such a cruel heart”

Shutinglan's "not ruling out" being exaggerated and misinterpreted as this, directly ruining her professional image.

The good thing is that she has recordings to prove every word she said.

Gu Ruandong didn't even glance at these people. Instead, he stood aside, listening to the real estate team explain the situation. His eyes were cold but his posture was a bit rogue, and those people only dared to bully the weak. They kept picking on Shu Tinglan, but they didn't even dare to look at Gu Ruandong, let alone make trouble for him.

Shu Tinglan didn't want to argue with them about this sentence at the moment. What she needed to do was take them away, so as not to affect Gu Shi Group's reputation. The commotion would be even worse if it continued until work hours started. She was Gu Shi's representative lawyer and responsible for maintaining the image of Gu Shi Group, so...

What she most needs to do now.

So I stepped forward and said, "I understand your feelings, but this kind of commotion won't solve anything. Please find a representative to come with me to the conference room so we can discuss this. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."

"Don't go, don't try to fool us. Explain how you're going to solve this right now in front of everyone." The speaker was the Chen family who lived on a non-street facing property and had been involved in yesterday's communication.

Shu Tinglan was about to speak when a slender figure rushed past her, stopping in front of the group. Upon seeing it, Shu Tinglan realized it was Gu Ruannuan

How did she come here Shu Tinglan glanced at Gu Ruandong, who had already finished listening to the real estate team leader's report. He was holding a lighter in his hand, turning it unconsciously. His eyes were a bit cold, and he also looked at Ruan Ruan.

Gu Ruirui received a call from her younger brother early this morning, saying that their parents had disappeared this morning and didn't answer phone calls. After checking downstairs, she found out that her parents had gone to Gu Group with the neighbors yesterday to cause a commotion.

He was afraid his parents would cause trouble and he would suffer the consequences, so he called his sister Gu Ruirui to help resolve it. After all, she was a member of the Gu family, and her presence would make things better.

Gu Ruanruan originally refused, she didn't want to get involved with her parents' affairs at all. But thinking of it being the Gu Group, she didn't want to cause trouble for the Gu Group, so she took leave from her superiors and drove over early in the morning.

Seeing her mother with a group of people gathered at the entrance of Gus Corporation, pointing fingers and berating Mr. Shu, while her brother Gu Ruandong stood aloof with a cold indifference, made her blood boil. Although it had nothing to do with her, she suddenly felt a wave of shame wash over her.

Even the best of tempers couldn't be controlled, she stepped forward and stood in front of Lawyer Shu, yelling at her mother.

“Do you all want to be taken away What are you making such a fuss about Just go back.”

Her mother hadn't expected her to come. Just moments ago, she had been giving Shu Tinglan a hard time, but upon seeing her, she composed herself somewhat.

"Ruan Ruan, you're just in time. I'm telling you, this lawyer is a real scoundrel, trying to threaten us into giving up our benefits and signing the papers meekly. He's taking advantage of the fact that we're not well-educated. You came just in time; you talk some sense into her."

"Speaking of which, I'm a bit proud. To Shu Tinglan, I say: 'My daughter is a university teacher, don't think we are uneducated and easy to bully.'"

Gu Ruanruan felt even more ashamed.

Shu Tinglan understood, this was Ruanruan's biological mother

While Gu Ruandong stood aside, with an attitude of not concerning himself with what was happening. He seemed as if he had nothing to do with it at all.

Ruan Ruan said to Tinglan, "Lawyer Shu, I'm sorry for troubling you."

Shu Tinglan shook her head, this had nothing to do with Ruanruan at all. But if she could persuade her mother to leave first, that would be great. Because quite a few people had already passed by and seen them.

Gù Ruǎnruǎn's mother, hearing them speak, asked:

"Ruirui, do you know this lawyer Then it's easy."

Then she whispered, “Isn’t that your elder brother who takes care of the family You should have a good talk with him. About the house your grandfather left you, if he really doesn't give it to you, at least could we get more compensation from my side Ruan Ruan, let me tell you, our house is small, but the location is very good. It would be fine if they compensated us with a bigger one, that way your younger brother will have a place for his wedding house, and it will also save you trouble.”

A mercenary face

Unmistakable.ave school tomorrow You go home, I'll stay here with her" 。Lu Kuo was the final word on this matter. He called his driver to take Lu Yaoyao away and stayed with Ruan Ruan for the night. 。In the middl...
