Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1147: The Mysterious Woman

The only hope was that the youngest son had just graduated from university, and if he could get a job, then this family might be able to eke out a living.

Li Fen gazed in the direction of the Yubao Square in the Imperial Capital, knowing in her heart that at this moment, the Old Patriarch’s allowing them to live was already showing mercy, and she wouldn’t demand more, besides, even if she did, the Old Patriarch wouldn’t agree.

Although the Old Patriarch no longer sought their total downfall, since ancient times, the ways of the world have always been rather merciless.

When their family was still part of the Gu Family, everyone greeted them with smiles.

At that time, whether in politics or business, they thrived, and in some places, though not able to cover the skies with one hand, they indeed commanded the winds and the rains.

In the early eighties, the two daughters bought cars.

This was rare in the Imperial Capital at that time and even caused a sensation, but to the Old Patriarch of the Gu Family, it wasn’t anything remarkable.

Life back then was truly luxurious, living in wealth and glory.

Now they’ve fallen from heaven into hell, dropped into dust, fallen into the mud, unable to rise again.

Not to mention where they lived, just the food was already a stark contrast to the past.

Even with her husband’s salary sustaining them, it was merely a drop in the ocean, and there were too many living idly at home. Moreover, for various reasons, they didn’t even have the courage to go out and work, including the Chang Jiansheng standing next to her now.

In those wealthy days, they acted arrogantly and naturally offended many people. Now fallen, no one extended a helping hand, but many were ready to kick them while they were down.

Such days indeed seemed endless.

Li Fen simply sat on the ground, covered her face with her hands, and cried softly...

Inside, she harbored deep resentment towards the deceased old lady.

If not for her, how could their family have fallen to such a state?

Even if eventually, the Old Patriarch found his descendants, Gu Cheng was raised from a young age, with deep feelings, and the Gu Family’s vast estate meant that if they weren’t greedy, they could still live a life of luxury.

But now, everything was gone.

They had fallen to the point where everyone despised them, and everyone wanted to hit them.

Even Chang Jiansheng seemed to finally realize, squatted down, gently patting his mother, but didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, their door was knocked on.

Both the mother and son were startled. They had been living there for a long time and no one came to see or care for them.

So, who could it be knocking at the door at this time?

Chang Jiansheng patted his mother’s shoulder reassuringly, then helped her up, glanced at the door, and said softly, "Mom, I’ll go open the door."

Then he headed towards the main door.

The door was latched from the inside, an old pair of wooden doors.

Chang Jiansheng frowned slightly but still opened the door decisively. Their family was already like this now, and even if it were burglars, there was nothing to steal, so nothing mattered.

At the moment the door opened, Chang Jiansheng was stunned to see a woman standing at his doorstep.

He didn’t recognize her.

The woman wore a white blouse, black trousers, and high heels, her hair styled in a bun, revealing a full forehead.

Her features were profound, somewhat resembling a mixed-race individual, especially her hair, which was also a shade of chestnut.

She was smiling at him, giving off a bright and crisp vibe.

Chang Jiansheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "May I ask who you’re looking for?"

The woman slightly curled her lips, "I’d like to ask, is this Gu Jianhua’s home?"

Looking for Big Brother?

Chang Jiansheng’s expression turned solemn as he carefully scrutinized the woman before him, who continued smiling at Chang Jiansheng, her gaze inquisitive.

After a moment, Chang Jiansheng was certain the woman before him was definitely not a police officer; even if she were, she wouldn’t have knocked on his door this way.

The current Chang Family had nothing to fear, they were already like this, merely barefoot against those wearing shoes, so he confidently nodded, "Yes, this is Gu Jianhua’s home, now we’ve reverted back to our ancestral surname."

"Reverted back to the ancestral surname? What does that mean?" The woman seemed very surprised.

"We are now surnamed Chang, my brother is Chang Jianhua, and I am his brother, called Chang Jiansheng, but my brother is not home." Chang Jiansheng explained patiently.

"I know he’s not home, I am a friend of your brother, may we come in and talk?"

A friend of his brother?

Chang Jiansheng was taken aback, glanced back at Li Fen watching them from the courtyard, stepped aside, gesturing for the woman to enter, then closed the door.

In the moment he closed the door, he seemed to see a few figures lingering at the corner of the alleyway, could they have come with this woman?

Chang Jiansheng walked up to the woman, pointing at his mother, "This is my mom, may I ask, you are..."

The woman quickly walked up to Li Fen, reached out, took her hand, and kindly said, "Aunt, I am Big Brother Jianhua’s friend, my name is He Shan."

Li Fen’s face changed instantly, and asked anxiously, "You’re Jianhua’s friend, what do you mean? Have you seen Jianhua?"

Then she exchanged a glance with Chang Jiansheng, understanding that before certain things conspired, Chang Jianhua had already resigned from all public positions and left for a foreign country.

Some matters lacked strong witnesses, and as time passed, what was involved with Ning Wanru and them really came to nothing. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

No matter for whom, pursuing someone abroad was truly difficult, even if the Gu Family had long arms, it might not be possible, as no one even knew which country he had gone to.

Li Fen didn’t know if the current Elder Gu had given up pursuing her eldest son.

She just knew her son surely couldn’t come back for the time being, so her face was slightly pale now. Looking at the woman before her, she trembled as she asked, "Who exactly are you? How do you know my son? I haven’t seen him in a long time, nor have I heard from him, are you from the Gu Family?"

He Shan smiled slightly, "I have no relationship with the Gu Family, you can rest assured on that point, and I am aware of some things, this is a letter from Big Brother Jianhua entrusted to me for you."

A letter?

A letter from the eldest son?

Li Fen’s hands began to tremble.

He Shan quickly opened the shoulder bag she carried, took out an envelope from inside, and handed it to the nearest Chang Jiansheng.

This time Chang Jiansheng didn’t hesitate, hurriedly taking the letter, and upon seeing the handwriting, he knew it was indeed written by his big brother.
