CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 891: OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BEG ME TO GO BACK (4)

What lifeline am I supposed to grab? Is there any lifeline left for her to grasp at this moment?

Something flashed through her mind, and soon, she thought of someone.

As she dialed the phone, Xiao Shuju muttered to herself, "Second sister, you can’t really blame me. You’ve ended up like this, and as your younger sister, there’s nothing I can do. You know my abilities don’t match hers at all. Therefore, I’ll have to hand it over to her. The winner becomes the king, the loser becomes the villain. Second sister, you have to accept defeat, don’t you?"

Gu Nuan, who was busy at Zhang Sanfeng’s villa, suddenly received another call from the third member of the Xiao Family.

Coincidentally, Chen Jiaming was on his way, departing from home to reach her place.

Many people were gathered in Gu Nuan’s studio, waiting for her to give instructions.

Gu Nuan thought that the third sister-in-law must have had something trigger in her mind as she finally figured out to call her on video.

"Sister-in-law," said Xiao Shuju from the other end, clearly standing against a street background, trying to make a friendly face although her facial muscles were tightly knit.

For Gu Nuan, this expression from the other side was familiar; she had seen that same face in Lai’an Village, so she wasn’t surprised.

"What do you need?" Gu Nuan asked coolly.

"I texted sister-in-law last night—"

"Yes. You meant about the second young lady?"

"She—" Xiao Shuju paused, then suddenly became shrewd, changing her tone, "The sister-in-law isn’t unaware of what’s happened, right?"

"I talked last night," Gu Nuan replied, "As for legal matters, they can only be resolved legally. I’ve already helped Kang Yueting apply for legal aid. A legal aid lawyer should be on the way to see her."

Xiao Shuju blinked, as if she just realized why the police hadn’t urged her to find a lawyer—the situation was clear now.

"Sister-in-law, you truly know how to handle people and matters!"

If one only looked at Xiao Shuju’s words, they might really think she was genuinely praising Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan lowered her eyes slightly, "If there’s nothing else—"

"Hey, don’t hang up, sister-in-law!" Xiao Shuju hurriedly stopped her, her attitude and demeanor entirely clinging to Gu Nuan’s legs, refusing to let go, her anxious expression easily seen, "Sister-in-law, I was saying you’re capable, only you can handle this situation."

"I don’t quite understand what you’re saying."

"Oh." Xiao Shuju slapped her thigh, licked her lips, and spoke eagerly, "I mean, at this moment, you are Yebai’s wife, right? Yebai is the only son of our Xiao Family, so everything in this family should belong to Yebai. So, since Yebai is not around, of course, this family should be managed by you—sister-in-law."

Zhong Qiaohui, overhearing this, couldn’t help but laugh and turned quickly to cover her mouth.

The Xiao Family was indeed too amusing. Before, they vehemently claimed they would never acknowledge Gu Nuan, denying her ever stepping into the Xiao Family. Now, why were they suddenly begging Gu Nuan to come back and manage them?

"Ah, this talk from the third sister—" Gu Nuan mimicked the other party’s tone.

Xiao Shuju held her breath.

By normal reasoning, shouldn’t Gu Nuan be jumping with joy? She should be eager to agree immediately.

Gu Nuan said, "For me to go to the Xiao Family like this is definitely not feasible. It’s not just the third sister’s decision."
