The situation in the Gu family’s mansion fell into a stalemate. It was no longer about Fang Hua and Guan Meiyi, but about Gu Zhiqian and the whole Gu family.
“Gu Zhiqian, don’t go too far! How dare you make Fang Hua kneel to Guan Meiyi?!” Gu Zhilin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was the head of the Gu family, and the wife of the head of the family was kneeling to her younger siblings. If news of this got out, he would suffer extreme humiliation.
Gu Zhilin was now angry at Gu Zhiqian, but he was also blaming Fang Hua in his heart. He knew that this woman wouldn’t be reliable. If she hadn’t done these things, there wouldn’t be such trouble now!
Fang Hua stood there with a livid expression on her face. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this, and she didn’t expect Gu Zhiqian to be so ruthless as to force her to kneel.
Gu Zhiqian couldn’t be bothered with Gu Zhilin. He turned his head slightly to one of his subordinates behind him and said, “Make her kneel.”
That person listened to Gu Zhiqian’s instructions and walked straight towards Fang Hua.
“Gu Zhiqian, don’t go too far! This is the Gu family, not a place for you to behave atrociously!” Gu Zhilin waved his big hand and the Gu family’s guards stepped forward to stop Gu Zhiqian’s subordinates.
However, they had obviously underestimated the strength of that person. In terms of skill, they were simply no match for that person. In the end, they could only use their bodies to hold him back.
Seeing the guards of the Gu family holding one of Gu Zhiqian’s men back in such a pathetic state, Gu Zhilin and Old Master Gu had extremely ugly expressions on their faces at this time. Gu Zhiming and Gu Zhihuan had long been scared to the point of hiding behind the Old Master Gu, and they looked at Gu Zhiqian with astonishment in their eyes.
At this moment, the other Elders’ expressions also turned ugly. In their opinion, the head of the Gu family should be calm, magnanimous, and wise. He should be the most powerful person in the entire Gu family. However, from how Gu Zhilin looked now, he didn’t seem to have the levelheadedness to be the head of the family at all. On the contrary, from Gu Zhiqian domineering kingly aura, Gu Zhiqian seemed qualified to be the head of the family.
Old Master Gu favoring Gu Zhilin over his other two sons was something that the entire Gu family knew about. Back then, they all thought that Gu Zhilin would definitely become the head of the family, so they treated him with great respect. Now, it seemed that they were all blind.
“Gu Zhiqian, enough is enough! Don’t forget, you are a member of the Gu family!” Old Master Gu finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and said, “Fang Hua might have done something wrong today, but she’s still the Young Madam of the Gu family. Asking her to kneel down to Guan Meiyi is indeed inappropriate. How about this, Fang Hua, you go apologize to Guan Meiyi, and this matter will be over. No matter what, I’m still the eldest in this family. Gu Zhiqian, if you still recognize me as your grandfather, don’t make a big deal out of this!”
Zhao Huimin sat there in a daze. The Old Master was obviously trying to compromise with Gu Zhiqian. It was obvious that he had no other choice, and that was why he would try to use his identity as his grandfather to resolve this matter. At this moment, Zhao Huimin’s heart was in emotional turmoil. She had always thought that her son was a reckless and unruly person who didn’t care about anything and didn’t have any great ambitions. Now, it seemed that it wasn’t the case. Looking at Gu Zhiqian and his imposing presence, Zhao Huimin felt as if she didn’t recognize him anymore.
Seeing that Old Master Gu had already said so much, Guan Meiyi secretly grabbed Gu Zhiqian’s hand under the table to signal him to do as the Old Master said. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. In fact, she didn’t think that Fang Hua would kneel down to her. The reason she had asked Fang Hua to kneel was to ease the anger in her heart and let Fang Hua know that to.
