Chapter 885: Secret Exposure of the Wealthy Class in the Capital
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Shuda, seated in the front passenger seat, was taken aback. “Wasn’t it Third Uncle’s butler who held a grudge against Eldest Uncle over Eldest Aunt’s car accident? What does Third Uncle have to do with this?”
A three-second silence filled the car.
Gu Shuxue rolled her eyes inwardly.
If not for the age gap between her eldest brother and second cousin, she might have suspected Gu Shuda and Gu Shuzhi were switched at birth.
At the mention of Ruan Xueling’s car accident, Gu Zhao’an’s expression hardened. “Regardless, this has nothing to do with our family!”
The news of Gu Zhaoming seeking the Godly Doctor to save Old Master Gu’s life quickly spread among the wealthy families in the capital, enhancing the reputation of the Gu family’s eldest branch.
Simultaneously, rumors of Gu Zhaoming’s departure from home and the accidental death of the Gu family’s previous Old Master quietly circulated within elite circles.
It even went viral on the internet.
A verified account posted a brief essay that was quickly reposted by numerous marketing accounts. #The Secrets of the Capital’s Wealthy Class# and #Unfilial Grandson Killed Grandfather# began trending.
Unlike the speculative rumors and promotional posts circulating among Jin City University’s law department, this blogger refrained from naming specific families. Instead, they shared their insider perspective on the story with netizens.
The revelations left netizens stunned.
[Oh my god, isn’t this grandfather’s death terribly unjust?]
[Which family’s heir could be so unfilial?! They should be cast out from the family!]
[What? This family has shown no filial piety towards their father for over 20 years. Now that he’s old and near death, they dare return to seize the family fortune? How shameless!!]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. All I can say is, the noble circles are as chaotic as the entertainment industry next door.]
The situation quickly escalated due to someone with ulterior motives, and soon, everyone in the capital’s wealthy circles knew the essay referred to the Gu family.
Gu Zhaoming also took note of the public opinion online, even though the blogger and marketing accounts hadn’t explicitly named him. Responding directly might validate the accusations.
Instead, he instructed Zhaofeng Entertainment’s Public Relations Department to divert attention by releasing scandals involving their artists and manipulating trending topics related to their own talents.
Shortly afterward, the blogger deleted the essay and posted a cryptic Weibo message:
[Deleted, deleted. Fear of legal action. Everyone, stay rational and watch. This issue is an open secret in the industry. Stop asking me privately about specific families.]
One fan playfully teased: [Did someone force the blogger to delete?]
The blogger replied with a “dog head” emoji, subtly acknowledging the speculation.
Yet, the more the blogger avoided specifics, the more curious netizens became, intensifying their quest for answers.
There were numerous affluent second-generation heirs in the capital who flaunted their wealth online, with even more avidly following their activities. Before long, a certain wealthy family in the capital rose to prominence under the surname Gu.
Among the Gu families in the capital, the most conspicuous was undoubtedly the Gu family, recognized as one of the Eight Great Clans.
Gu Zhaoming, hailing from this prestigious lineage, had been absent from the capital for over two decades. He returned just six months ago and swiftly ascended to the board of directors at Gu Group, as reported on Weibo.
[F*ck! Unbelievable! So the prodigal son is none other than Gu Zhaoming, chairman of Zhaofeng Entertainment! Everyone knows Zhaofeng Entertainment, right?]
[Best Actress Qiao Xuan and Ruan Chu, the new top celebrity, are under his leadership in domestic entertainment.]
[You might not recognize Gu Zhaoming’s name, but everyone knows Gu Yang, the famous piano host, right? He’s her father!]
