I Know Everything

Chapter 661: Bitterness.

In a mid-range villa in Huajin.

Gu Shuiyao came back with a shopping cart.

The community she lived in was a wealthy area so food delivery and express delivery wasn’t allowed in the community.

It was either let the guards deliver it or deposit it at the courier box at the entrance.

Life there was really convenient as there were several large community areas so there were shopping complexes and farmer’s markets close by.

There were large markets nearby with high and low priced products if people wanted to shop.

Several old ladies were taking a walk and greeted Gu Shuiyao enthusiastically when they saw her.

“Little Gu, are you having any guesses today? You bought so many things!” They asked warmly.

They could see in Gu Shuiyao’s cart that there were two big lobsters and plenty of other products, the amount wasn’t something that a normal household ate.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t eat.

However, there was no need to buy so much.

“Yes.” Gu Shuiyao smiled, “Little Shu’s teacher is coming over so I bought more to cook a meal for them.”

“Hohoho, you’re such a capable person.” An old lady couldn’t help but say, “My daughter in law does nothing but eat and sleep! Anybody will be lucky to marry you!”

Gu Shuiyao smiled at this but there was a hint of bitterness in it.

However, the old ladies didn’t see it.

They kept giving comments until Gu Shuiyao walked away.

With how popular ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’ was, Yang Shu became the most renowned person in the community.

Many reporters came over to stalk her daughter so they could take pictures and get the latest news about her.

This gave a nice topic for those Huajin grandmas who loved to gossip.

Yang Shu’s father had a weak presence in the opinion of the people in the community.

He often left early and returned late so they barely saw him.

While Yang Shu’s mother seemed to be diligent and interacted with them.

The beautiful Gu Shuiyao not only took care of Yang Shu’s matters by herself but also always jog in the morning and warmly greeted people on the way so it gave a good impression.

But they also had to hire a nanny because she also had to work.

Actually, people were persuading Gu Shuiyao to stop working so she could stay at home to take care of her daughter and husband.

Moreover, Yang Shu already earned tens of millions for her family so they were already set.

What they didn’t know was that Yang Shu actually earned more than 200 million Yuan already so unless there was an accident, that money was more than enough for two lifetimes.

Aside from the 20 million yuan bonus she received for ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’, she also participated in the Spring Festival and played ads with Guo Hang for best father-daughter duo.

Those five ads alone gave her 100 million Yuan.

What surprised Gu Shuiyao even more was that Yang Shu told her mother in November that she wanted to use the 20 million bonus she received to invest into Yongxing Supermarkets that got remade by Chen Huan to become a minority shareholder.

Could you imagine a 7 years old girl seriously talking about business to her mother?

Gu Shuiyao felt it was unreliable and Yang Shu’s father also felt the same.

But relented in the end because of how insistent Yang Shu was and that Chen Huan participated in it.

‘Miracle in Cell No.7’ had nothing to do with Chen Huan but he was a good friend of Teacher Chu Liuxiang and Yang Shu was chosen by him among multiple other girls.

This showed how much influence Chen Huan had on Zhu Mei and Chu Liuxiang.

Taking into account Chen Huan’s influence in the music scene, they felt that spending 20 million to build a good relationship was worth it.

Of course, it was also because of how much of a big hit ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’ was so Yang Shu earned more than 20 million from endorsement alone.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t bear to spend it.

However, the family was shocked in the end.

Although Yongxing Supermarkets was only in Lin’an, it was the most talked about supermarket across China in the past few months.

Many entrepreneurs, celebrities etc… were admiring the new model of Yongxing Supermarkets.

Yongxing Supermarkets dominated the single stores sales ranking for five months consecutively while being highly praised!

Yongxing Supermarkets only had five stores!

It meant that all their stores were at the top!

This sounded crazy but it was a fact.

The valuation of a supermarket would certainly soar after that.

Wal-Mart’s latest 28 billion Yuan offer was the proof of it.

It was only worth 8 billion at the beginning but it had suddenly risen more than 300% in less than a year. How great of an investment was that?

Besides, as long as they weren’t idiots, they would know that 28 billion wasn’t the limit for Yongxing Supermarkets.

Their value would increase tenfold again once they expanded their supermarkets chain across the country or even only in the delta river.

So holding onto the shares of Yongxing Supermarkets was a valuable asset that could be passed down in the Yang family!

Such a great investment was all thanks to the insight of their daughter so how could Gu Shuiyao and Yang Chi not look at their daughter with admiration?

So they both agreed with Yang Shu’s inviting Chen Huan over.

Gu Shuiyao went to shop in person, which expressed how important it was.

She decided to cook a lot of dishes and give a warm welcome to Teacher Lu.

Although they had a nanny at home and that nanny was a relative from Gu Shuiyao’s hometown so her cooking was pretty good, Gu Shuiyao felt it would be more sincere if she did it herself.

However…

Gu Shuiyao remembered what the aunties just said, “Anybody will be lucky to marry you!” and inevitably felt sad in her heart.

Her family was still a very happy one before Yang Shu became famous.

She was a small clerk at the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

She had stable work, good welfare and good working hours so things were convenient.

Her husband was an electrician so he could earn thirty to fifty thousand Yuan annually.

Her daughter was small and cute, which made Gu Shuiyao very happy.

But then Yang Shu was casted by Chen Huan in ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’ and gained a huge fortune 100 to 200 million Yuan as well as renown, completely disrupting the family’s life.

It wasn’t bad but Gu Shuiyao felt the changes were too great.

The couple were already frightened when they bought a multiple storey villa worth 9 million Yuan right at the beginning and thought, wouldn’t this be too big of a house if their income in the future wasn’t all that much?

However, their mentality changed with more than 100 million yuan in their bank account.

It was a bit better for Gu Shuiyao as she had to work and care for Yang Shu so didn’t have time to spend money.

However, Yang Chi was different.

Over the past few months, Yang Chi had been leaving early and coming back late, sometimes he didn’t even come back at night.

He said that he was socializing with people and was on a business trip but Gu Shuiyao didn’t know whether it was true or not.

Gu Shuiyao wouldn’t think much of it if it was before.

However, Yang Chu’s attitude toward her also changed a bit now and interacted less and less with her.

Gu Shuiyao lived with him for ten years, she of course could notice it.

She didn’t know what was going on but had a bad feeling about it.

Chen Huan was coming over today and she already told Yang Chu of that a few days ago.

Yang Chi had promised he would come to host Teacher Lu for dinner but he didn’t come back last night.

All of her calls to him also didn’t go through before she went shopping.

This was why her smile was slightly bitter earlier.
