Jiang Wanqiu obviously didn't expect that the usually arrogant Gu family would actually become rogue one day. Seeing that Madam Gu dared to deny her debt, she was furious and screamed, "Madam Gu! We really can't continue the conversation if you say that! We have seen the surveillance footage clearly just now! Those two glasses of wine were clearly given to Gu Tingyan by you yourself! How dare you deny it?!"

After Madam Gu's IQ came back online, she turned back into the extremely shrewd lady. Her eyes were cold and her face was full of calculations:

"Then I only handed it to my son, not your daughter! My son's glass of wine was clearly meant for Mo Li, but your daughter was greedy and took it first? I would say it's just her bad luck. She's so young and always wants to steal other people's things. Now that something bad has happened, who can you blame?"

Jiang Wanqiu was shocked by Madam Gu's unreasonable words. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. She pointed at Madam Gu with a trembling finger: "You, you, you - how can there be such an unreasonable person like you in the world? If it weren't for you putting drugs in the wine, would my daughter become like this? I didn't expect that your dignified Gu family would dare to do something but not take responsibility!... You deserve your Gu Group to be swallowed up by others!"

If you can't win the argument with reason, then you can only attack them personally.

When talking about the Gu Group being taken over by someone else, Mrs. Gu became even angrier. What's more, the one who took the Gu Group away from them was none other than the adopted daughter of their Chu family!

Madam Gu's face was frighteningly cold: "In that case, I'll just tell you the truth! - I never put drugs in the wine! To be honest, the wine was not mine at all. It was brought by a servant in my house, and she poured it first and handed it to me. The surveillance video recorded it clearly!"

"So what if you call the police? This so-called love wine actually has nothing to do with me. Everyone drank so much at the dinner party, how would I know which glass was problematic? It's just that your daughter was unlucky. Besides, the reason she is so badly injured now is all her own fault, and it has nothing to do with outsiders! Even if the police investigate, they will arrest my servants. When the time comes, we will go to court and make the judgment accordingly!"

"Anyway, I've already asked a lawyer. In your daughter's case, the most they'll get is a compensation of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, and my servant will be sentenced to three to five years in prison. I can use the rest of the money to compensate the family properly."

Mrs. Gu spoke in an orderly manner, and Chu Shengfeng and Jiang Wanqiu looked even more hesitant.

It is said that a wise man does not go into litigation. Right now, the Chu family themselves are embroiled in lawsuits. They become nervous when they hear about lawsuits. They just want to extort money and leave as quickly as possible. They really don't want to continue to fight a lawsuit and waste time.

After all, the glass of wine was not handed to Chu Jiamiao by Madam Gu herself. With the strength of the Gu family, it would be easy to push a servant out to take the blame for Madam Gu. By then, the Chu family would exhaust their energy in the lawsuit, and at most they could get a compensation of 100,000 yuan. Compared with 2 million, it was really not worth it!

Besides, it is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Gu family has lost power now, the Chu family dare not offend them easily. Mrs. Gu's family is also quite powerful. Who knows whether the Gu family will make a comeback in the future? It is not a good thing to offend them.

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Jiang Wanqiu's momentum obviously weakened. She slowly sat back in her seat and negotiated with Madam Gu in a flattering manner: "Madam Gu...if we want to settle it privately, can you give me one thousand, no, five million? This small amount of money should not be a big deal to you! Just think of it as pity for our Miaomiao..."

Madam Gu had seen through their little tricks a long time ago, and snorted coldly: "Five million? How dare you ask for that! Didn't your Chu family's company go bankrupt? Two million is already a huge sum of money for your Chu family! If you are sensible and accept the compensation honestly, then everything will be fine for us; if you don't want to and insist on calling the police to sue, I won't stop you, but I'm sorry I won't accompany you today... You have to pay for the surgery first, and as for how much you can get in the end, you can just wait and see!"

After saying this, Mrs. Gu looked as if she had run out of patience and stood up as if to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Shengfeng and his wife were completely controlled, and Jiang Wanqiu quickly stood up to keep her.

Should I choose to take two million immediately to settle the matter, or wait and slowly fight the lawsuit and get tens of thousands.

Any fool knows how to choose.

Chu Shengfeng seemed to have made a great decision and spoke with difficulty: "Then it's settled! Two million is two million!"

Mrs. Gu raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth: "This is what a smart person is like."

Jiang Wanqiu hesitated for a moment and proposed another condition: "Madam Gu, there is one more thing... My Miaomiao has become like this now, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to get married in the future... To tell you the truth, Master Gu has promised us before that he will definitely marry our Miaomiao in the future. I hope your Gu family can accept her as a daughter-in-law."

When Gu Kai heard this, he immediately planned to refuse. Everyone knew how poor the Chu family was now. If the Gu family were to marry into the Chu family, it would not only not help their future business, but would probably even be ridiculed!

But Mrs. Gu stopped him in time before he could speak.

Before this, Mrs. Gu had repeatedly warned Gu Tingyan not to have any contact with Chu Jiamiao, but he just wouldn't listen. Chu Jiamiao's reputation was so bad and she was even disfigured, but the two of them could still be so passionate at the dinner party and both raised their glasses to celebrate. How could this not be true love?

Chu Jiamiao had a hard time getting married after the surgery, and so did Gu Tingyan. What happened to him in Room 5 tonight had spread among the circle. Which respectable family would be willing to marry their daughter to him?

Although the Chu family is now in a state of extreme poverty, it is still the place where Mo Li grew up. Could she really bear to watch her adoptive parents live a life of poverty? One day, she will definitely come back to support the Chu family.

Besides, Chu Jiamiao couldn't have children anyway. In a family like theirs, having no children meant having no one to rely on forever. Even if she entered the Gu family, when Gu Tingyan got tired of her, wouldn't it be easy to kick her out of the house with just a random excuse?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu no longer hesitated and readily agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiang Wanqiu.
