21 Silence in Peppermint Alley

The Gu family had double the reasons for the celebration.

The Old Madam, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly recovered. She successfully underwent the surgery and woke up.

The Young Miss of the Gu family who had been missing for many years had finally been found.

Old Master Gu was overjoyed and sent out invitations to all his new friends and business partners to celebrate.

The Gu family had been quiet for many years. Old Master Gu Sen had retired for many years. However, under the leadership of Gu An, Gu Nian, and Gu Su, the Gu family's business was booming. Whether it was in the country or in the world, the Gu family occupied a supreme position. Their strength was something that others could only look up to.

A few years ago, the Gu family, which was full of men, had a daughter. The low-key Gu family had once held a grand full-moon banquet for this young lady. It was a three-day banquet with guests from all over the country. Not to mention M City, it was probably the only one in the country. It could be seen how important this girl was to the Gu family and how much she was doted on.

Unfortunately, good times did not last long. More than a year later, this precious Miss Gu was plotted against by her enemies and was kidnapped. She went missing. The Gu family was frantically looking for her, and the bounty rose, again and again. This caused both the proper world and the underworld to go crazy.

The strange thing was, even so, they could not find a little girl who was more than one year old.

As a result, people slowly spread the news that the child was definitely dead.

No one felt that this guess was unreasonable.

After all, with such a method of searching, even if it was a needle, there should be a trace of her.

The Old Madam and the Eldest Madam of the Gu family fell sick one after another from the sadness, especially the Eldest Madam. Her mental state was gradually becoming abnormal and she slowly withdrew from everyone's sight. Nonetheless, the Gu family still needed to maintain social appearances. The duty of attending banquets and social events fell on the Second Madam, Lin Wan. 

Speaking of the Gu family, the most admirable thing was not only the Gu family's amazing business operation ability for generations, but also the Gu family's kind father, filial son, and respectful brothers.

They were used to seeing grudges between wealthy families, where the father, sons, and brothers killed each other for the family wealth. The Gu family was very different.

The Gu family was full of men, but no matter which generation it was, there had never been a melodramatic incident of fighting for the family property or inheritance. No, it was a normal incident.

As the saying went, 'Everything will prosper if the family is in harmony', the Gu family's business was at its peak. Some people said that if the moon was full, it would be a loss. The disappearance of the Gu family's young lady was because God was jealous of the Gu family's happiness, so he created some obstacles for them.

These words were very reasonable.

However, an old servant who had retired from the Gu family said that when the Eldest Young Lady was still in the Eldest Madam's womb, an expert had asserted that this girl would be the Gu family's little Lucky Star in the future. Unfortunately, fate was full of misfortune, and she met with disasters for the Gu family. 

The Old Master had once said that a girl's worst fate was nothing more than meeting an unvirtuous person. At most, his granddaughter would not marry for the rest of her life, and the Gu family could afford to support her.

However, he did not expect that it was difficult to defy the will of the Heavens! Miss Gu had just turned one year old when she was kidnapped. If this was not enough to prove the expert's claim. Then in the next few years, the Gu family's business was at its peak. Every competitor or business partner would sigh and think that there was really someone in the Gu family who was blocking all the misfortunes for them!

Unfortunately, the Gu family was heartbroken when they heard such words.

Because if that was the case, it meant that Young Miss Gu, who was still alive in some corner, was suffering on their behalf.

Some people said that if anyone could find Young Miss Gu, the Gu family would not even frown if they had to ask for half of the Gu family's assets.

These people's guesses were not all correct.

If Gu Zhi was used to exchange for all the assets of the Gu family, the head of the Gu family would not even refuse.

For the Gu family, there was only one Gu Zhi, and the Gu family could earn back their assets at any time because they had the ability!

The Young Miss Gu was only five years old, and it was unknown whether she was still alive or not, but she had already become a legend.

Was there anything more amazing than a legend turning into reality?

All of a sudden, the streets of M City were filled with the legend of Young Miss Gu, and all kinds of versions of the story were spreading.

However, Peppermint Alley was silent.

It was not because the Gu family had taken care of Peppermint Alley, but because from the moment Zhizhi had left, they had collectively decided to protect her! She would never embarrass Zhizhi. Zhizhi was the Gu family's, but she was also once from Peppermint Alley. She had been treated by the best in Peppermint Alley!

The silence of Peppermint Lane made Young Miss Gu Zhi seem even more mysterious. No one knew how she went missing back then and how she got her back!

It was inevitable that some people would question Gu Zhi's identity.
