South City, the Gu Family, a quaint two-story Western-style house that looked both imposing and spacious.
"Mingcheng, you're back?" Fang Yue's eyes curved into smiles as she saw Gu Mingcheng. Today, she was dressed in a traditional cheongsam, with her makeup subtly applied, and a pearl necklace adorning her neck, the very image of a well-to-do lady.
"Mom." Gu Mingcheng, carrying a portfolio of paintings, furrowed his brows uncontrollably as he looked at the joy-filled face of Gu Mingzhu in the house.
Amidst the crowd, Gu Mingzhu was dressed to the nines. Since childhood, the Gu Family's standard of living had been better than most, even during tough times, his parents had shielded them from hardship.
In recent years, as the family's situation had improved, Gu Mingzhu developed a love for gold—gold necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings—she seemed like she couldn't wait to adorn her entire body in golden jewelry.
