This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

Would Wen Yao slap her twice, just like she slapped Lu Anbo?

They might still do something even more terrifying...

The more unknown something is, the more fear it evokes.

Gu Zhu's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Never thought——

Wen Yao's slender, fair hand moved from Gu Zhu's hair to her cheek and gently patted it twice.

It wasn't very forceful, but it was extremely insulting.

Even though both of them were sitting, Gu Zhu's heart clenched, feeling that the girl in front of her had a condescending and disdainful air about her.

"Have you finished chattering, little mouth? Hmm?"

Gu Zhu gasped for breath, overwhelmed by boundless fear like a tidal wave. She felt like a drowning person, unable to grasp even a straw.

No, she couldn't let Wen Yao's words intimidate her!

She is the chosen one, favored by God!

Gu Zhu barely managed to steady herself and managed to utter a few words, her voice trembling at the end:

"Everyone has curiosity, and I'm no exception..."

Wen Yao raised an eyebrow. The usually laid-back and easygoing girl suddenly exuded a proud and arrogant air of nobility.

"Because our family started accumulating wealth little by little, starting from my maternal great-great-great-great-grandmother."

Gu Zhu still couldn't understand it, because it was far beyond her comprehension.

How could... how could there possibly be wealthy and powerful families that allow women to inherit their fortunes?!

Little did anyone know that Wen Yao's remarks would also greatly shock the viewers in the live broadcast room!

Holy crap, is Mei Bao's family a matriarchal society?

[Family members, does anyone understand? My daughter's gaze is so intense! A true lady should just calmly watch you with a smile, no matter how hysterical or heartbroken you are, she'll never see you!!]

[Yes, yes, she's the kind of spoiled rich girl who looks down on everyone, gets what she wants, and discards what she doesn't, giving everyone the cold shoulder!]

My first reaction was to argue with Mei Bao, but I quickly realized, "Yes, why should we assume that every family has a male heir? If Mei Bao's family really has a female heir, then that's incredibly progressive thinking!!"

[I just looked it up, and the Wen family really gave me a little shock! Please note! As a century-old, prestigious family, the Wen family has had female heirs in every generation, and has produced many legendary businesswomen, renowned scientists, top philanthropists, and social activists! Compared to the Wen family's wealth, the Gu family's assets are negligible, probably less than the allowance my daughter receives each year!]

[In other words, Mei Bao is not only eligible to inherit the Gu family's fortune, but also has the right to inherit the fortune of the century-old Wen family??]

[It's not that she's eligible to inherit; it's that Mei Bao is the only girl in her generation, so the right of inheritance needs to be preceded by the qualifier: "exclusively and only"!]

[Furthermore, Mei Bao's statement of "a little bit" is far too conservative; "a tiny bit" would be a more appropriate description of the wealth she can inherit!!]

...

The entire live stream was in an uproar!

Goodness, I thought Mei Bao was just an ordinary female college student, but I didn't expect you to tell me she's a rich heiress?

So you're that rich, huh?

It doesn't matter, I have three houses: the left atrium, the right atrium, and a whole massive breach!

But when they saw Gu Zhu's frustrated expression, everyone secretly rejoiced.

Gu Zhu has really met her match this time.

[Gu Zhu, look at you! Why did you provoke her?]

[Taking it one step at a time, even if it means dying halfway through, Teacher Zhu's calculations are truly exhilarating!]

...

Gu Zhu trembled all over.

Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

Before her rebirth, she had no idea that Wen Yao had such a background!

She thought the Wen family only had a little money, and that Wen Yao's mother might have gotten the money by hooking up with some old man!

The truth turned out to be that the Wen family had a female heir?

Have their whole family lost their minds?!

Her heart ached terribly, but at the same time, a bold guess surfaced in Gu Zhu's mind...

Could it be that the reason Wen Yao was able to hold a grand engagement banquet with the Crown Prince before her rebirth was because the Fu family also knew about it?

There's no such thing as a domineering CEO falling in love with a Cinderella at first sight; it's just a matter of being well-matched and equally powerful!

Perhaps, Crown Prince Fu Wanzhou didn't actually like Wen Yao that much; he was only after the Wen family behind her...

Gu Zhu comforted herself, telling herself not to panic!

still have a chance!

"Yaoyao, why have you been keeping this from us?" Gu Zhu tried to stir up trouble and shift the blame, "Does your brother know about this?"

She led everyone astray.

Yes, does Gu Yan know about this?

If what Wen Yao said is true, then the Gu family and the Wen family will have absolutely no connection with him in the future.

Which man could tolerate that?

Gu Yan was enjoying the gossip when he suddenly found himself in the mess, and all his bared teeth disappeared.

"Why are you so materialistic? Is money even that important?"

"If you don't want me to inherit it, then don't. If you're ugly, don't dream too much. My sister is so beautiful, she deserves to enjoy a life of luxury."

"At worst, I'll just eat what my sister leaves behind and wear what she doesn't have. If all else fails, I'll throw a tantrum. I don't believe my sister will abandon me!"

Everyone:! ! !

[Yanzi's level of awareness is truly remarkable.]

[I already said Yanzi is a malu, what more could a malu want than bananas?]

[Just because of what you said, I'll definitely let you have a sip of meat broth when my little sister has meat to eat in the future]

...

Gu Zhu's attempt to sow discord backfired, leaving her feeling utterly defeated.

"What about me? Aren't I pitiful too?" In her desperation, Gu Zhu inadvertently revealed her deepest thoughts, "I'm also a daughter of the Gu family!!"

Gu Yan: "You can choose to live an upward or downward life."

Gu Zhu: ?

"Upwards, one, two, three, hang yourself; downwards, three, two, one, jump."

Gu Zhu: ? ? ?

[Yanzi, that's so mean!]

It's clear that Yanzi has absolutely no feelings for this younger sister anymore.

Yes, Yanzi and Meibao bicker, but these small things reveal their true feelings; in fact, Yanzi really cares for her younger sister, Meibao.

[Help! What is Teacher Zhu complaining about?!]

[I think I'm starting to understand. Gu Zhu is possessive—in other words, she's possessive of Mei Bao's money! She feels she has a share in the Gu family's assets, no… I even think that according to her logic, she should also get a share in the Wen family's assets!]

[I give up! Besides the four degrees in Bing, Ke, and Mai, I now have to minor in Zhuxue. I knew you could learn something real from surfing the internet! Every day, the moment I open my eyes, it's an endless learning journey!]

...

Hearing Gu Zhu's outrageous remarks, Wen Yao chuckled softly.

"What are you fantasizing about, Gu Zhu?"

"What's truly pitiful is that you had a chance to get it, but didn't."

"To think you had a chance to have something you never had in the first place—that's ridiculous!"
