Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 900: I Heard That Your Adopted Daughter Provoked Family Head Tong’s Children?

Editor: Henyee Translations

As the year drew to a close, the snow did little to dampen the festive atmosphere. Lanterns lining the streets glowed red, and the square was bustling with activity. Families and children built snowmen, their joy and laughter filling the air.

Tong Rao gazed out the car window at the retreating scenery. Despite the car’s heater, the chill of winter seemed to seep into her very soul, amplifying her sense of desolation.

She had envisioned a life of perfection—an illustrious career, a virtuous and obedient husband, and children who were both filial and intelligent. Yet, she had not anticipated their betrayal.

In the end, despite all her efforts, she found herself isolated and lonely at the pinnacle of her achievements.

At the Gu family’s old residence, Old Master Gu’s recent fall had been perilous. Though he was advanced in age and his health was deteriorating, he was still clinging to life, day by day.

Even a renowned doctor like Gu Jin could not halt the inevitable process of aging.

During this period, Gu Zhaoming’s family frequently visited the old residence to see Old Master Gu, and the second and third branches increased their visits as well.

The arrest of the Tong siblings had been trending for days. Everyone in the wealthy circles of the capital knew that Tong Sinian and Tong Jiayin had been arrested for hiring a hitman to target Gu Yang, though the exact motive remained unclear. Many believed it stemmed from a personal grudge.

As a result, the public’s focus on Gu Zhaoming’s perceived unfilial behavior had significantly diminished.

On New Year’s Eve, during dinner at the old residence, Gu Zhao’an personally served rice to the elders and remarked, “Brother, I heard that your adopted daughter got involved with Family Head Tong’s children? It’s caused quite a stir and is still trending.”

During this time, Gu Hongwei had been focusing on his recovery, delegating many responsibilities in the family and company to Gu Zhaoming. He had been out of touch with recent events and was unaware of the situation.

Upon hearing Gu Zhao’an’s comment, Gu Zhaoming glanced at Gu Yang before directing his gaze sharply at Gu Zhao’an.

The mention of his daughter immediately displeased him. He fixed Gu Zhao’an with a stern look. “Second Brother, don’t speak carelessly. They provoked my daughter and attempted to murder her.”

At the mention of “murder,” Gu Hongwei’s eyelids twitched. “What’s the current situation?”

Gu Zhaoye, who wasn’t particularly skilled in many areas but had a knack for socializing, chimed in with enthusiasm. “Dad, the heir of the Tong family and Miss Tong have been arrested and remain in custody.”

“The situation has escalated significantly. It’s not only buzzing within our circle but also trending online, even surpassing the topic of Big Brother’s behavior. It’s ranked first!”

Gu Shuzhi frowned at his father’s unabashed commentary.

His father was truly something else. Didn’t he realize that the first and second branches were at odds? They should simply watch the drama unfold without getting involved.

Did he think Eldest Uncle hadn’t caused him enough trouble lately?

Gu Shuzhi, who also held a position in the Gu family’s company, had previously managed to navigate Gu Zhao’an’s traps with ease, even turning the tables when necessary. However, since Gu Zhaoming’s arrival, he and Second Uncle found themselves outmatched. They were frequently outmaneuvered and left both mentally and physically drained.

Gu Zhaoming’s attacks were indiscriminate. While it was clear that their third branch was innocent and merely used as a scapegoat after Ruan Xueling’s car accident, Gu Zhaoming spared no one. The small company he had started was driven to bankruptcy.

As for the trending topic of “Gu Zhaoming is unfilial,” it wasn’t initiated by the third branch; they merely stoked the flames. Though Gu Zhaoming had not openly commented on the issue, he had covertly sabotaged Gu Shuzhi’s significant projects, resulting in severe reprimands from the board of directors.
