Chapter 37: Beasts Are Not Allowed Inside!

Gu Man’s words struck like a hammer.

Tian Meihua was so furious that she let out a choking sound, almost like a rooster crowing.

She had always been used to acting out, relying on her tricks and tantrums to keep her former daughter-in-law under control all these years.

She thought that handling a young girl in her twenties like Gu Man would be even easier.

But unexpectedly, emboldened by her grandson’s presence, Gu Man actually dared to curse her outright.

Losing control of the situation was something Tian Meihua could not tolerate.

“You little b*tch, who are you cursing at?!”

Gu Man spat directly in her face.

“I’m cursing you, you old beast!”

“The heavens are unjust for not taking you away sooner and sparing the world from your misery!”

Tian Meihua was stunned.

Her former daughter-in-law had never dared to fight back, never even raised her voice.

But this daughter—how could she be so fierce?

“Gu Man! How dare you curse at Grandma? Apologize right now!”

Tian Meihua’s grandson, Gu Dajun, stepped forward and roared angrily.

He was tall and burly but utterly useless. He spent his days indulging in drinking and gambling, living off the money Gu Mingren gave him.

Now that Gu Mingren had stopped supporting him, he relied entirely on Tian Meihua, knowing that his grandmother was still generously provided for.

Gu Dajun also had his eyes on Gu Man’s villa.

That villa was huge—who knew how much it was worth?

He had to make sure his grandmother got it for him.

So, he put on an act of being a devoted grandson, ready to teach Gu Man a lesson.

Just then, a bald, potbellied middle-aged man who had followed along frowned and said,

“So this is the woman you introduced me to? She’s quite pretty, but that temper is terrible!”

His greasy eyes scanned Gu Man, evaluating her like a piece of merchandise.

This man had a history of domestic violence.

His first wife ran away after enduring years of beatings.

His second wife couldn’t take it anymore and hanged herself.

And now, he was sizing up Gu Man, as if estimating how many times he could beat her before she’d break.

At his words, Gu Dajun and Tian Meihua’s expressions changed immediately.

“Mr. Zhang, she’s got a bit of a temper, but she’s young!”

“Once she marries you, she won’t have anyone backing her up. By then, she’ll have no choice but to listen to you!”

Gu Dajun turned and glared at Gu Man.

“This is the man we found for you. Don’t be ungrateful. Marry him, and you’ll have someone to rely on!”

Gu Man was so furious she laughed.

“Oh, a middle-aged old man with a face like a villain?”

Standing beside them, Gu Mingyong, who appeared to be honest and simple, chimed in:

“Xiaoman, what kind of talk is that? Middle-aged men are the most stable and know how to cherish a wife. Besides, Mr. Zhang is wealthy—you’ll have a good life if you marry him.”

Gu Mingtian, who had a monkey-like face, also added,

“We introduced him to you, so of course we’ll take responsibility. Who dares to bully you?”

Gu Man retorted,

“Oh? Then why don’t you marry off your own daughters to him?”

The two men’s faces darkened instantly.

They knew very well that this man was abusive—there was no way they’d let their own daughters suffer that fate!

Seeing how difficult Gu Man was being, Tian Meihua exchanged glances with the others and signaled them to move in.

“Enough nonsense! Today, whether you like it or not, you’re getting married!”

Gu Man’s expression turned ice-cold.

They wanted to use force?

If they dared to lay a finger on her, they wouldn’t be leaving in one piece.

“Stop! What are you all doing?!”

The property manager arrived with a team of security guards.

Tian Meihua immediately played the victim, accusing first,

“Stay out of this! This is a family matter! I’m her grandmother—teaching my granddaughter is my right!”

The property manager wasn’t fooled.

“We made a mistake allowing you in. Now, please leave!”

He turned to Gu Man and bowed apologetically,

“Miss Gu, we deeply regret the trouble caused to you. We will compensate you for this incident.”

Initially, they had let them in without verifying their relationship, which was a serious oversight.

Gu Man loosened her grip on the hammer in her hand.

What a shame.

She had missed the opportunity for “self-defense retaliation.”

Oh well.

There would be another chance.

She had no interest in wasting more time on these people.

“From now on, no one is allowed to see me without my consent.”

“In my home, beasts are not allowed inside.”

With that, she picked up her bag and walked away.

After a few steps, she turned back and looked at Tian Meihua with a smirk.

“I just find it odd—your three sons are all so different. Could it be… they have three different fathers?”

Tian Meihua trembled with rage.

“You little b*tch! Stop right there!”

The property manager’s face darkened.

“Throw them out!”

The security guards immediately restrained the group and began pushing them out.

Meanwhile, Gu Man got into her nuclear-powered car and sped away.

Gu Dajun stared at the car with envy, his whole body shaking with greed.

“Grandma, I want that car!”

With that car, he would be the most impressive man around.

Women would throw themselves at him.

Tian Meihua doted on him, smiling affectionately.

“Don’t worry, dear grandson. Grandma will get that car for you!”

The security guards and property manager exchanged looks, sighing internally.

Rich people really had it rough.

Miss Gu had so much wealth, yet her relatives were… beyond words.

“Cutting ties with the Gu family is inevitable.”

If it weren’t for the shares she needed to reclaim, she would have severed all ties long ago.

She had been too busy lately to deal with them.

Who would’ve thought these parasites would come crawling out of the woodwork, thinking they had any say in her life?

Her mother divorced that man over ten years ago!

For all these years, they had bullied her mother without consequences.

And now, they had the audacity to try and control her.

What a joke.

Once she was done with her current matters, she would settle things with them—one by one.

At the warehouse,

Gu Man shook off her irritation.

She had long developed an unshakable heart.

A few lunatics weren’t worth her time.

Besides, she always took revenge immediately—

The ones who should be frustrated were them.

Seeing her arrive, Old Man Sun immediately got up and patted his backside.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving! No need to tell me.”

He hopped onto his small electric scooter and rode away in style.

Gu Man chuckled.

Looking at the warehouse filled with supplies, her spirits lifted.

Scumbags weren’t worth her anger.

But saving lives? That was satisfying.

“Lord Song, prepare to receive the supplies.”

“First, I’ll send over the grain, meat, and vegetables. Then, the condiments, daily necessities, and clothing. There’s a lot, so get ready.”

A reply came almost instantly, as if the other party had been waiting for her.

“The warehouse is ready. Savior, you may begin the transfer.”

Gu Man wasted no time and started teleporting the supplies over.

Xuanwu Base

It was close to noon, but due to the frozen apocalypse, thick leaden clouds blanketed the sky, making it seem like dawn.

There was little light.

To conserve energy, the base rarely turned on lamps—especially during the day.

But people had grown accustomed to it and carried on with their work.

Large pots of porridge and meat simmered in front of the city lord’s mansion, filling the air with a rich aroma.

People worked while breathing in the scent, feeling hopeful for the future.

Even the children playing barefoot on the icy ground were smiling.

Among them was Shi Yan, recently recovered.

He knew their savior had rescued him and the entire base.

A grand dream was planted in his young heart—

One day, he would create the most powerful weapon to protect their savior.

Just then, piles of supplies appeared nearby—clothes, shoes, and more.

The children, caught mid-play, stared in stunned silence.
