Chapter 275 Guo Siman firmly believes that her great-grandfather really hid a treasure.
Tong Yuchen was at work that day and wasn't home, but Zhang Xinxin and Tong Yuxuan were on weekends off and were both at home.
Zhang Xinxin opened the door and found a stylishly dressed woman standing in front of her, her face covered with a layer of makeup thicker than paint on a wall!
She immediately took a step back, afraid that the powder on her face would fall and hit her feet!
"Which daughter of the Tong family are you? I'm your cousin, my name is Guo Siman, and I'm from Hong Kong!" She was very proud of her identity, as if people from Hong Kong were superior to people from the mainland.
"My surname is Zhang. There are no relatives with the surname Guo in the Tong family. You've come to the wrong place!" Zhang Xinxin knew about the Tong family's past and had no good feelings towards people with the surname Guo.
"Hey? How do you know there isn't? Just tell me if this is the Tong family or not! I need to meet the Tong family before I say anything!" Guo Siman refused to leave.
"Whether this is the Tong family's residence or not, what does it have to do with you, a guy surnamed Guo? I am a member of the Tong family, Tong Yuxuan! Now that you see me, you can leave!"
Tong Yuxuan came out and felt disgusted when she saw the fake face in front of her. Was this the Guo family descendant her elder sister had mentioned, the born bad seed, Guo Siman?
Pshaw! Short, ugly, and oblivious to his own ugliness! He's not all that great!
Heh, this girl must have done her homework; she should know her own situation. What is she planning to do with her family now?
"You might not know this, but my grandfather and your maternal grandfather were brothers! Many years ago..."
"I know! Many years ago, Guo Yunkai favored his concubine over his wife. My great-grandmother wisely broke up with him! Your grandfather and his mistress harmed my grandfather several times, so my grandfather severed ties with the Guo family and was removed from the Guo family genealogy!"
So we all share the surname Tong! Our Tong family has absolutely no relation to your Guo family anymore!
Years ago, your grandfather even tried to frame my family! How dare you say your grandfather and my maternal grandfather were brothers? Do you want a dozen brothers like that who stab you in the back?!
Tong Yuxuan bluntly exposed the secrets of both families, leaving Guo Siman with no way to continue the conflict. Besides, Guo Siman genuinely knew nothing about these matters.
She knew that her ancestors were a wealthy and powerful family, but the first wife of the first wife had taken everything from them and driven them out of the house. However, her great-grandfather had left her grandfather a fortune, which the first wife had also squandered. She had returned this time to find those treasures her father and grandfather had always longed for!
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly your eldest son's family who stole all the property!" Guo Siman was very annoyed and couldn't keep up the act anymore. If it weren't for the so-called treasure, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
"Go ask around and see if what you're saying is true or not. There are plenty of families around here who have lived for seventy or eighty years. You look like someone who was born here, and there are even people who are still alive. Ask them one by one! If all else fails, you can go down and ask that old scumbag Guo Yunkai!"
Tong Yuxuan's aura pressed down on her directly, startling Guo Siman into taking several steps back, her face turning deathly pale! Oh, her face was already deathly pale from shaving, and now—the white paint cracked!
Guo Siman felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart and quickly left the place.
Hearing Tong Yuxuan's voice, the neighbors all came to see what was going on. They started talking about the Tong family's past, and the younger generation listened with great interest. They didn't realize that this family living next door had so many stories to tell!
Originally, it was thought that Guo Siman would back down, but who would have thought she would be so shameless? She went to the government and demanded the return of the Guo family's property, claiming she wanted to inherit it as a descendant of the Guo family.
The relevant departments began to investigate, and it was only then that they discovered that the Guo family had not a single penny of property left.
Guo Yunkai squandered the Guo family's old house and sold it long ago. People have lived there for forty or fifty years and have property deeds and land deeds. Why should it be given to her?
The small house where her great-grandmother lived was where Tong Yuheng buried a few gold bars to deal with Guo Qirun, but when that woman ran away with her son and daughter-in-law, she also sold it secretly!
When they ran away, they didn't even leave Guo Yunkai a place to stay. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up on the streets, shamelessly begging his ex-wife and eldest son for food! That woman is really ruthless!
Guo Siman was at her wit's end; she had run out of money and would have to beg for food if she went back! It turned out that her grandfather and father had lied to her; it was her grandfather and her great-grandmother, who had been a concubine, who had absconded with the family fortune!
Using her fake work permits and diplomas, she mingled with business owners eager to attract foreign investment, freeloading off them. Whenever she had free time, she would go to Grandpa Tong, feigning pitifulness, and demanding one or two of the treasures left by her great-grandfather so she could return to her life.
Tong Anfu didn't pity her at all. He had almost been ruined by them back then, so why should he care about their descendants? Guo Siman was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, not a baby. She didn't know how to work hard and just wanted to take advantage of others! She really did inherit the personality of her scumbag father, Guo Yunkai.
"What you've heard is all false. Your great-grandfather didn't leave behind a single feather! If anything, it was his debts. My surname is Tong; being able to buy him a coffin and bury him is enough to repay his kindness in giving me life! I'm not responsible for repaying his debts!"
"Grandpa, your family is doing so well, you must have some inheritance from back then, right? Our branch should have a share too!"
Guo Siman was unwilling to accept this. The Tong family was too rich; they all owned cars! These days, not every family in mainland China even owned a bicycle!
"Heh, we're doing well because of our own abilities. You should think about it carefully, did your grandfather give you any hints? Anyway, a lot of people coveted this money over the years, but no one managed to find it. I'm not surnamed Guo, the old man would rather die than hand over his treasure to me!"
"How could that be? In the end, wasn't it you, Grandpa, who took care of him in his old age and saw him off in his final days?" Guo Siman asked.
"Heh, he's not even thinking straight. Who knows what he's thinking? You should leave and don't bother us! I also want to give you a piece of advice: earn your own living, do good deeds and reap good results, and you'll succeed in the end..."
Guo Siman left the Tong family. Although she believed what they said—that the Tong family didn't have the treasure her great-grandfather had hidden—she firmly believed that her great-grandfather had indeed hidden a treasure! She wanted to think it over carefully and search for it; if she found it, she would become rich!
Guo Siman's commotion made Tong Yuheng and the others start to think about this issue as well. Maybe Guo Yunkai really was hiding something and had even boasted about it to his family.
These words were spread in a seemingly plausible but ultimately absurd manner, gradually becoming more and more outrageous, and eventually becoming the root cause of the persecution of their family during that special period!
"Grandpa, think about it carefully. Did that old scumbag ever mention anything about the treasures in his final days? Wasn't it rumored that the treasures he hid weren't entirely his own, but also belonged to his group of cronies?"
