Please forgive my daughter for her ignorance.\" Han Meizhen humbled herself and apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you think just because you’ve apologized, I have to accept it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... I can’t be sure...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful aura radiating from Gu Jiaojiao was so intimidating that Han Meizhen started to stutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shrank back timidly, hiding behind He Yulan. \"Aunt...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think your daughter’s face is so beautiful?\" Gu Jiaojiao asked, taking another step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meizhen had always prided herself on her daughter’s peerless beauty, but Gu Jiaojiao’s terrifying presence now left her completely tongue-tied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she possibly dare to say her daughter was beautiful now? \"No... not beautiful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom! How could you give in to that fox—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meizhen loudly cut her daughter off. \"Linlin, not another word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If you keep talking, even I won’t be able to protect you,’ she thought. ’This aunt is no simple woman. My daughter really crossed a line with what she said.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since she isn’t pretty, why is she still here being an eyesore? Your brains must be working overtime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meizhen jolted, so frightened she collapsed to her knees. \"My brain... isn’t... isn’t working...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are you going to get out of your Grand-aunt’s sight and go hide in your room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll get out right now. I’ll take Linlin and get out and go back to our room... Aunt, you’re a bigger person than this, please don’t tell on us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this aunt truly didn’t want to see them, Han Meizhen grabbed her daughter and scrambled away as if fleeing for her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, are you afraid of that fox— MMMMPH...\" Han Meizhen clamped one hand over her daughter’s mouth and dragged her away with the other, making a swift escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Though I’m arrogant, I’m not a fool. If Gu Jiaojiao dares to strike us in the Han family home, it means she isn’t afraid of the Han family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Han Meizhen realize that it wasn’t this aunt who was trying to climb the social ladder by latching onto the Han family; rather, it was the Han family that needed to rely on that handsome man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That young, handsome man is clearly a dragon among men. His family background must be extraordinary.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu family’s eighteen-year-old son had been standing by, stunned. He was left speechless by Gu Jiaojiao’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, he admired this grand-aunt, because his mother was usually very arrogant in the Xu household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always acted high and mighty in front of his aunts, all because the Xu family owed its current success to his maternal grandfather and uncles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second older sister was just as domineering, treating all their female cousins horribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one in the Xu family dared to argue with his mother and sister, let alone slap them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao noticed the young man, who was not yet twenty, staring blankly at Han Meizhen and Xu Lin’s retreating backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dark, somber eyes were like a surging black tide, threatening to swallow all light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao knew he was Han Meizhen’s son. She asked deliberately, \"What’s your name? How old are you this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand-aunt, my name is Xu Haifeng. I’m nineteen and a college freshman. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my mother and sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t do anything wrong. What is there to apologize for?\" Gu Jiaojiao’s voice was gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gu Jiaojiao’s gentle voice, Xu Haifeng’s sense of guilt grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was at a loss for what to do, he heard his cousin, Han Jingyi, clap him on the shoulder and say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin Haifeng, our grand-aunt is a very good person. She doesn’t usually get angry. Your mom and sister just went too far today. A few slaps are for their own good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Han Jingyi didn’t mention was that when his grand-aunt got angry, she had broken a senior student’s arm and fed her a whole bag of salt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Haifeng nodded quickly. \"Thank you, Jingyi. My mom and second sister were indeed out of line today. Please accept my apology, Grand-aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jingyi had already walked up to Gu Jiaojiao and asked furtively, \"Grand-aunt, does your hand hurt? Heh heh, you should have called me over to do the slapping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing what Han Jingyi said, Gu Jiaojiao smiled. \"This kid, Jingyi, is really so considerate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the aunt praise her youngest son so highly, He Yulan’s face blossomed into a smile. \"You little rascal, hurry up and thank your grand-aunt for her kind words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you have no idea. Grand-aunt praises me all the time.\" Han Jingyi grinned so widely his eyes narrowed to slits, revealing a set of white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jingyi’s male and female cousins all gathered around Gu Jiaojiao, calling her \"Grand-aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao looked at the crowd and acknowledged their greetings with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she raised her hands to quiet them down. \"Everyone, don’t be so loud. Your grandfather is still upstairs in a meeting. Come, come, everyone sit down and talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone immediately clapped their hands over their mouths and quickly squeezed onto the long sofa across from Gu Jiaojiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who couldn’t get a spot leaned over the back of the sofa, staring at their grand-aunt with wide, round eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yulan, for her part, sat on the loveseat next to Gu Jiaojiao, looking at her with a face full of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, what kind of fruit do you like? I’ll go wash some for you,\" asked the Han family’s third aunt, her face all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Aunt, please sit. Grand-aunt likes grapes and cantaloupe. We’ll go wash them,\" Han Jingyi said fawningly, smiling like a sunflower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingyi, I just finished a big meal and don’t want any fruit right now. Besides, we have to go back to my parents’ house for dinner later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao smilingly declined the Han family’s eager hospitality and then asked, \"Are your jobs going well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going smoothly enough, but it doesn’t match my major. I’m not too happy about working at the post and telecommunications office,\" the son of the third Han uncle said sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, a job at the post office was one of the best you could get. He only got in because the Han family had connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you major in?\" Gu Jiaojiao was intrigued. ’Hard to believe there are still people who are picky about their jobs these days.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I majored in mechanical and electrical engineering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s an excellent major. Why did you end up at the post office?\" Gu Jiaojiao asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There weren’t any suitable companies hiring, so my eldest uncle temporarily arranged for me to work at the post office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the young women of the Han family blurted out without thinking, \"Third Brother, if you don’t want to work at the post office, give the job to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to sell bus tickets anymore. Riding the bus all day is so tiring. If I worked at the post office, I could just sit there instead of running around all over the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to work at the post office too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The jobs you have now are at the best companies, and here you are, being picky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people don’t even have a formal job yet, and you all don’t appreciate the good fortune you have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are all official jobs with vacation time and a stable income. Aren’t you satisfied? It’s not like doing odd jobs for people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who do odd jobs get paid for the day they work. If they don’t work, they have to pay for their own meals out of pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, Mom, why are you blowing this out of proportion? We were just kidding around with Grand-aunt,\" said He Yulan’s daughter, pulling on her arm coquettishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yulan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say, you studied electrical engineering? Your grand-uncle is looking for someone with exactly those skills. Would you be interested in joining his...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Jiaojiao could finish, Han Jinglin cut in eagerly, \"I’m willing! Very willing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1351,"2026-06-03T03:31:20.892Z","2026-06-03T03:31:25.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1929272a18156e8cd92dd4c1fb7cc0b07dec1f7d3877b3581f61c78e82a379d","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-261","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-260",635,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fback-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-cover.jpg"]
