Chapter 4: A Visit From Top-Notch Relatives

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Qingchen returned home according to her past memories. Previously, her house was a small villa. Because her father went bankrupt, the villa had already been mortgaged to pay off the debt. Now, the family of three lived in a rented house. The old-fashioned building was very simple and crude and the environment was very poor.

“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”

Gu Qingchen had not called out “Dad, Mom” for many years. She only had the opportunity to call out a few times when she visited the grave every year.

At this moment, she was actually a little excited and was filled with endless emotions.

Gu Qingchen’s mother poked her head out from the kitchen. When she saw her daughter coming back, she smiled gently, but her eyes were filled with helplessness and heartache. Gu Qingchen never had the chance to experience these things before.

She would never let her family go down a dead-end now that she was reborn!

“Mom, where’s dad?”

Gu Qingchen had calculated that there was less than a month left. After her father went bankrupt, he would end up suffering so much that he would commit suicide. Her mother would also die of depression.

In other words, she had less than a month to change the current situation. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to do much in less than a month. However, Gu Qingchen was different now. After she came back to life, she found out that she had a superpower, and compared to others, she would have a better chance of turning the situation around.

That’s right!

She could read minds and read other people’s thoughts. She had an advantage. However, she had to calm her father’s emotions first. She must not let her father commit suicide before she could turn the situation around.

She did not know if her sudden rebirth would affect history. She had heard of the butterfly effect. She must not affect her father’s state just because of her arrival.

“Your dad is making a phone call in the house. You should finish your homework first. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Looking at her mother cooking in the smoke, Gu Qingchen’s eyes were wet. She clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to change the current situation, turn the tides, and fight against fate to the end!

Gu Qingchen pushed the door open and heard her father’s voice coming from inside.

“I am already preparing the money. As long as there is money, I will immediately return it to you. I will not default on the workers’ wages. You tell them to wait a little longer. Even if I have to sell everything, I will not owe them anything!”

Her father was such a person. No matter what he did, he did not want to owe anyone. It was because of his character that he realized that he could not repay the debt and chose to commit suicide.

Gu Yuanchuan hung up the phone and pinched his forehead tiredly. Just as he turned around, he saw Gu Qingchen looking at him with a pained expression. His heart immediately warmed, and he waved at Gu Qingchen.

“Chenchen, you’re back. Come and sit. How was school today? Did anyone bully you?”

He was bankrupt, and Gu Qingchen’s status must have changed as well. He was not afraid of being stabbed in the back, but he felt heartache for his daughter and could not bear to let her suffer with him.

Gu Qingchen smiled and walked towards Gu Yuanchuan. She sat beside him and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. Everything is fine at school. You don’t have to worry about me. Who was the one who called just now? Were they rushing for the workers’ wages?”

Gu Yuanchuan owned a timber factory and had many workers working under him. Now that he was bankrupt, the workers’ wages could not be paid. Gu Yuanchuan must be worried.

Gu Yuanchuan forced a smile and patted Gu Qingchen’s head. “Don’t worry, Chenchen. Dad will take care of it. I won’t let you suffer along with me.”

Gu Qingchen’s expression went blank for a moment and her heart tightened. She was worried that Gu Yuanchuan might have suicidal thoughts and immediately said, “Dad, no matter how hard the days are, for me, as long as the family is together, complete and whole, that’s happiness. Don’t worry, Dad. I think things will turn around. Everything will be fine.”

Hearing Gu Qingchen’s words, Gu Yuanchuan’s heart warmed up. He nodded heavily, and hope lit up in his eyes. His daughter was right. As long as the family was still together, there was nothing that could not be overcome.

The family of three sat together for a meal. This was something that Gu Qingchen had not experienced in many years. She was extremely excited. Finally, they could be reunited as a family again. It was great.

However, some people always liked to ruin beautiful things. It was annoying.

These people were Gu Qingchen’s relatives.

What were these relatives here for? Of course, they were here to collect debts!

After Gu Yuanchuan went bankrupt, not only did they not help, but they also stabbed Gu Yuanchuan in the heart. Gu Qingchen looked at these relatives with undisguised hatred in her eyes.

If they had not forced him, her father would not have chosen to commit suicide, she would not have become an orphan, and she would not have embarked on the path of a drug tester.

“Big brother, don’t blame me for not caring about family ties. As the saying goes, brothers should settle scores. Even if I am your younger brother, I cannot be dragged down by you. I still have a family to support. Do not involve others since you did not manage the business properly and went bankrupt!”

Gu Yuanchuan’s second brother, Gu Yuanguo, had a cold expression on his face. His tone was also very harsh. He did not respect Gu Yuanchuan at all.

“That’s right. What does your bankruptcy have to do with us? Why should we be implicated by you? Please don’t implicate others if you don’t know how to manage it. Big brother, when you started the timber factory, we also pooled in money too. Although we didn’t take much money at that time, we were still one of the shareholders, right? Now, because of your mistake, the timber factory has gone bankrupt. We want our money back. We don’t want much. 500,000 dollars will be fine.”

The one who spoke in a strange tone was Gu Yuanguo’s wife, who was also Gu Qingchen’s second aunt, Dong Guiyun. Her second aunt was sarcastic and calculative. In the past, she always liked to come to Gu Qingchen’s house to take advantage of them, now that Gu Qingchen’s family has gone bankrupt, she changed.

“500,000 dollars? Are you robbing me? Back then, you only provided me with 10,000 dollars!”

Gu Yuanchuan cried out in surprise. At the same time, he was also furious. These were his biological younger brother and sister-in-law. In the past, they liked to take advantage of him, but he also turned a blind eye to them. He never expected that these two people would come to his door at this time. Not only did they want to sever their relationship with him, but they also even asked for 500,000 dollars!

Gu Yuanguo opened his mouth slyly, “500,000 dollars is considered not much. As long as you give me 500,000 dollars, I definitely won’t come looking for you in the future. Of course, it’s best that you don’t come looking for me either. You’re in debt now. You have to make it clear to those people. You can pay for your debt yourself. It has nothing to do with our Gu family.”

Gu Yuanchuan was so angry that he laughed instead. If not for his wife and children being here, he really wanted to give Gu Yuanguo a good beating.

Then, he saw Gu Yuanyu, the third younger brother behind Gu Yuanguo. Gu Yuanchuan sneered. “What about you? Are you here to ask for money too?”

Gu Yuanyu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Big Brother, I’m not here to ask for money, but…”

“But what? If you want to say it, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”

Gu Yuanchuan was also a hot-tempered person. He had thought about the terrible situation after bankruptcy, but he did not expect that the reality was even bleaker than he had imagined.
