Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Shan confronted Lin Miao, saying, “You couldn’t even hold onto your man’s heart, and you dare to introduce your female classmate to him? What were you thinking?”
He had always thought that his daughter was quite foolish, but he didn’t expect her to be this foolish!
If it were Gu Zi by Gong Zhan’s side, such a thing would never have happened. He had to admit that in terms of various abilities, Lin Miao was far inferior to Gu Zi.
However, who could have predicted this? Their Gu family had put so much effort into raising their daughter, but she wasn’t even their biological child. Considering Lin Miao had lived in the countryside for so many years without going astray, he couldn’t blame her too much.
But this incident was truly infuriating. He couldn’t find an outlet for his anger right now, so he could only scold his estranged daughter.
Zhang Mei defended Lin Miao, saying, “Given the current situation, it’s not really Miao Miao’s fault. She was just trying to help her classmate find a job, right? Why blame her? We should see how the Gong family handles this situation. They owe the Gu family an explanation.”
At this moment, Lin Miao was nestled in Zhang Mei’s arms, her eyes filled with tears. She felt a mixture of anger and fear. If the Gong family chose MO Li after this incident, she would be finished. What should she do?
Gu Shan paced around the room, seething with anger. He wanted to vent his frustration, but he didn’t know where to start.
For now, they could only wait for news and see how the Gong family would decide.
On the Gong family’s side, they had just experienced a heated argument between father and son. Even military batons had been used, making the atmosphere even more suffocating than at the Gu family.
At this moment, Commander Gong sat on the main seat of the sofa, his face grim, while Mrs. Chen sat on the other side with a furrowed brow and a flushed face.
They had just argued about who was to blame for their son’s behavior. The husband and wife were now giving each other the silent treatment, neither wanting to look at the other.
Upstairs, in Gong Zhan’s room, the role of mediator had been automatically assumed by Gong Xin. She pushed open the door with a freshly brewed herbal medicine and found Uncle Yang tucking Gong Zhan into bed.
Although Gong Zhan’s haughty attitude annoyed her, he was still her biological brother, and he had been decent to her since they were young. When she saw him endure a dozen strokes from their father, she couldn’t help but feel some sympathy.
She walked over and sat down by the bedside, offering the bowl of herbal medicine with a soft voice, “Mom asked me to make a herbal remedy for bruises. Drink it quickly.”
Gong Zhan, despite being in pain, tried to maintain a tough exterior. “Take it away. I won’t drink it.”
She had to admit that her brother was actually very handsome.
Not only was he 1.89 meters tall, but his figure was also very good-looking. His lips were square and his eyebrows were like ink paintings. His eyes revealed the kind of lofty and self-confidence that the children of the quad were born with. It made him give off a feeling that he was not easy to approach but one could not help but want to please him. He had the tone of a cold and handsome man.
Gong Xin didn’t argue and got up to leave, but she couldn’t help teasing him. After all, it was rare for her brother to show any vulnerability. She tapped his head, and in a deliberate provocation, she said, “Drink it or not, brother. Your butt is all bruised. If you don’t drink it, you won’t get better, and more people will make fun of you.”
Although Gong Zhan heard the sarcasm in her words, the sight of the herbal medicine in Uncle Yang’s hands finally convinced him. He waved Uncle Yang closer, and reluctantly agreed, “Fine, give it to me.”
Unable to contain her laughter, Gong Xin teased Gong Zhan, but he retaliated by delivering a firm slap to her forehead, venting his frustration. He snarled, “Laugh all you want, now get out!”
Gong Xin smirked at her brother’s grumpy response, understanding that he was finally agreeing to take the medicine. She playfully stuck out her tongue and said, “Alright, I’m leaving. But just so you know, there are some people who can’t even move right now.”
Seeing that he was willing to take the medicine, Gong Xin felt reassured and left the room.
As Uncle Yang administered the medicine and applied it to Gong Zhan’s injuries, he couldn’t help but reflect on the events of that morning. It had been so sudden.
Uncle Yang fed Gong Zhan some medicine and thought back to what happened this morning. It was too sudden.
Last night, the young master hadn’t instructed him to pick him up from the quad. However, Uncle Yang didn’t question these unusual circumstances.
When he arrived at the office this morning, the young master hadn’t arrived yet, but the new secretary, Ms. MO, was already waiting in the office.
Upon seeing Ms. MO, Uncle Yang couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances. Not because he was a lecher – he never engaged in such activities. Rather, it was because Ms. Mots attire closely resembled that of Miss Gu Zi. Without careful observation, one might mistake her for Miss Gu Zi.
However, after taking a closer look, Uncle Yang could discern the differences. Miss Gu Zi possessed an appearance and demeanor that were difficult for others to replicate. Even her scholarly aura was challenging to imitate..
