Little did Gu Jiaojiao know that someone wanted to cripple her and leave her to beg on the streets of the Imperial City.
At that moment, she was on the phone with Mrs. Gu. She and her husband had just enjoyed a lovely dinner together and were about to take a post-dinner stroll in the yard when the phone rang.
"Hello, this is Gu Jiaojiao. Who's calling?"
"Jiaojiao, it's Mom. Have you eaten yet?"
"We just finished. Mom, if something's on your mind, just tell me."
Mrs. Gu told Gu Jiaojiao that a neighbor from the next street over, the wife of Vice Director Li, had visited their home several times with her daughter.
Each time, she said she wanted to arrange a match between her daughter, Li Xiulan, and their family's Jingtai, and Mrs. Gu had actually started to believe her.
Unfortunately, Second Brother Gu was so busy renovating his restaurant that he missed them every time. When he came home at night, he would even get an earful from Mrs. Gu for it.
