Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2128 - 2132: Completely Overpowered
Every word was so grandiose and impeccable that there was nothing to criticize, but each sentence felt like a poison barb, making him very uncomfortable.
His face turned livid with anger, unable to speak.
Lin Shuo looked at Gu Junzhu and smiled apologetically, "Young Master Gu, you might have misunderstood my father. All children are precious to their parents. My parents love all three of us brothers equally; there is no favoritism. Please do not believe the rumors outside and make my father feel bad."
"Is that so?" Gu Junzhu looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you saying Uncle Lin bears no favoritism and treats the three brothers equally, and I misunderstood?"
"Yes, yes," Lin Shuo nodded repeatedly, "Young Master Gu misunderstood. All are my parents’ flesh and blood, equally cherished. How could they not love us all?"
"What the eldest brother said is correct," Senior Madame Lin interjected, "I bore each of them for ten months; each is dear to my heart! Young Master Gu, please do not believe those inciting words from some people; they are intentionally trying to ruin the relationship between us old two and the second brother, with malicious intentions deserving punishment."
"Oh... is that so!" Gu Junzhu tilted his mouth slightly, "That sounds reasonable, but I heard that when Second Sister-in-law Lin’s father was on his deathbed, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin did not allow Second Brother Lin and Second Sister-in-law Lin to stay with her father and ordered them to attend Third Brother Lin’s son’s full-month banquet. Is there such a thing?"
"No such thing!" Senior Madame Lin firmly denied it, "It was the deep brotherly affection between the second and third brothers; they insisted on attending the third brother’s son’s full-month banquet. It wasn’t your Uncle Lin and I who made the third couple go."
"Is that so?" Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow and looked at her, half-smiling, "Aunt Lin, I am the kind of person who loves to take things seriously and doesn’t like being lied to, so please think carefully before you speak to avoid any regret later."
Gu Junzhu was blessed with good looks, his features as refined as a painting, with an elegant and noble demeanor like a banished immortal.
He sat there simply, doing nothing, and yet looked beautiful like a painting.
But when he slightly raised an eyebrow and looked at someone with a half-smile, a strong oppressive aura of superiority would emanate from him, making it hard for others to breathe.
Unwittingly, Senior Madame Lin’s face turned bright red, and she was tongue-tied.
She treated her three sons equally.
She had never been biased.
This was something she had told countless people countless times in her life.
But at this moment, facing Gu Junzhu’s half-smiling gaze, she could not utter a single word.
In comparison, Senior Master Lin knew Gu Junzhu’s character better.
He knew that Gu Junzhu always followed through on his words.
If his wife lied to Gu Junzhu, it wouldn’t take long before Gu Junzhu found the evidence and slapped it on their faces, leaving them with no dignity.
Moreover, the matter might be spread around.
By then, his lifetime of good reputation would be destroyed in an instant, and his name would be tarnished.
Before Senior Madame Lin could speak, he preemptively said, "That was all in the past. Indeed, it was my confusion back then. I was thinking, it’s just a meal’s time, and the in-law had been comatose for over ten days; how could it be so coincidental that he would pass away during a meal? Who would have expected that it was precisely during the banquet that the in-law passed away? Regarding this matter, I have always felt guilty."
Instead of denying and being uncovered by Gu Junzhu and embarrassed, it is better to admit the mistake proactively.
