My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 824 - : Be Sure to Placate Qiao Yin Well
Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Be Sure to Placate Qiao Yin Well
Gu Guotai’s demeanor had already become composed and calm, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table surface: “We naturally cannot say that she is an illegitimate daughter; the reputation isn’t pleasant to hear. The third child you fathered is no more, right? Just let Qiao Yin take her place. After all, the third has always been frail and ill, staying in the hospital, and no one has seen what she looks like.”
Gu Chengqiao was somewhat reluctant: “This… doesn’t seem quite right, does it? Plus, Jinhua probably won’t agree to it.”
“Since when did we Gu Family’s matters become hers to decide?”
Gu Guotai gave him a glance, his tone somewhat exasperated as he said: “You need to make her listen to you; you’re the head of the Gu Family. If she makes a fuss, just send her back to the Hou Family, let her return when she’s done with her tantrums. Don’t indulge her faults to the point where she wants to ride over your head.”
Now Gu Chengqiao had no excuse left; all he could do was to brace himself and say: “Alright, I know, Dad.”
“Also, acknowledging Qiao Yin back into the family is one thing, going to apologize is another matter entirely. You still need to show the proper attitude, and compensation must be given. Not only should you apologize to Qiao Yin, but you also need to visit Old Madam Lu; we can’t have our relations with the Lu Family fall apart. Do you understand?”
Gu Chengqiao then realized why his father wanted to acknowledge Qiao Yin back; it wasn’t just because Qiao Yin’s medical skills could save lives, but also because she held a special relationship with Old Madam Lu.
Since Old Madam Lu was willing to come late at night to fight for justice for Qiao Yin, this indicated that Qiao Yin held a significant place in her heart. She wouldn’t acknowledge Qiao Yin as her granddaughter without good reason.
“I understand, Dad. Rest assured, when it comes to handling social interactions, I’ve always been quite adept. I will make sure Old Madam Lu is satisfied.”

Gu Guotai nodded his head.
He wasn’t actually worried about his son’s capability in this area. Gu Chengqiao might not have many talents, but he was extremely skilled in the art of human relations. He was a man who could bend and stretch to win over people’s hearts. He would do anything to please others, completely disregarding any concern for face or dignity. When it came to apologizing, Old Madam Lu would definitely be satisfied.
This was probably a skill he honed from chasing women in the past.
Gu Chengsong, in this respect, wasn’t as capable as him, which is why his business acumen wasn’t as flexible as Gu Chengqiao’s, nor as good at winning over hearts and building connections.
“That’s all for now; I’m done here. You may go about your business. First, go placate Qiao Yin and don’t let her grandmother spread the news of Jinhua damaging someone’s face and causing disfigurement.”
“Okay.”
Gu Chengqiao responded, but hesitated to leave.
Gu Guotai was already very tired. Seeing him still there, he couldn’t help but ask: “Do you have something else?”
“It’s about Jing. Dad, don’t push him too hard. He is still young. Discipline should be gradual. How can he endure it when you start with beating the child?”
“You don’t need to teach me how to discipline my children! Besides, he’s twenty-three, not so young anymore!”
Gu Guotai scoffed, pressed the button on his electric wheelchair, left the study room, and returned to the bedroom to sleep.
Gu Chengqiao, finding himself without options, headed to the room where Gu Jing was confined and unexpectedly found that his son had fallen asleep at some point; his heart ached and he shook his head helplessly.
It seemed there was no serious issue; otherwise, Gu Jing wouldn’t have slept so soundly.
As he walked out, he saw Hou Jinhua still standing in the living room, apparently with no intention of leaving. He didn’t bother with her. After all, her staying with Gu Guotai was better than her going out and causing trouble.
She had ruined Qiao Yin’s face, forcing him to clean up her mess. His mood was extremely sour, and even if Hou Jinhua tried to speak to him, he acted as if he hadn’t seen her.
After leaving the Gu Family home, Gu Chengqiao first went to Old Madam Lu’s place, made apologies, emphasizing that both he and his wife had suffered slaps from Qiao Yin’s grandmother, ensuring that his apologetic posture was sufficient. Then, without a moment’s delay, he hurried to find Qiao Yin in the Hospital.
