Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 483: Family Head, Change Seats

The two looked at each other across the space, though some words remained unsaid, Xia Mian understood that Gu Zhi’s current situation was not as easy as Gu Yuan had claimed.

Xia Mian slightly narrowed her eyes, seemingly nonchalant as she said, "Lu Zechuan and I are married, today is our big day, it’s a pity you didn’t come to the Divine Clan for a celebratory drink!"

After speaking, Xia Mian stood up and walked towards Gu Zhi, taking out a small porcelain bottle, she poured an elixir into Gu Zhi’s teacup, "It’s been a while, this is a gift for you."

The elixir dissolved in Gu Zhi’s teacup, and the once bright tea seemed to lighten a bit.

Gu Zhi raised his head, giving Xia Mian a gentle smile, "Thank you."

In the next moment, Gu Zhi drank the tea without hesitation. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As the tea entered his mouth, Gu Zhi felt as if a magical power had been injected into his previously weak body, and the fatigue and weariness instantly vanished.

The once pale face also slowly gained a hint of blush.

Gu Zhi’s eyes flashed with surprise, which gradually was replaced by a touched expression, "Xia Mian, meeting you in this life, I’ve used up all my luck."

Xia Mian slightly tugged the corners of her lips, then looked up at Gu Yuan, "Gu Family Head, originally, I didn’t want to interfere with your Gu Family’s affairs, but Gu Zhi and I do have some sort of rapport."

At this point, Xia Mian paused, her voice turning cold, "You treat her this way, it’s as if you’ve completely ignored the words I said when I left the Gu Family!"

Though Xia Mian’s voice wasn’t loud, Gu Yuan’s hair stood on end!

Xia Mian intended to back Gu Zhi!

Sweat dripped down Gu Yuan’s face, he swallowed subconsciously, "Miss Xia, what do you mean by this? You brought Gu Zhi to my Gu Family to recognize her ancestors, I initially disagreed, but eventually, according to Miss Xia’s wishes, I gave Gu Zhi the identity she deserved. During this period, while Gu Zhi was cultivating in the Gu Family, all our cultivation resources were directed towards her..."

"If you feel we’ve mistreated Gu Zhi, you can certainly take her away!" Gu Yuan was indignant, as if he felt greatly insulted.

Xia Mian looked deeply at Gu Yuan, "Leave?"

The playful words lingered in the air, Xia Mian had already turned to Gu Zhi, "Are you willing to leave?"

Gu Zhi smiled, a smile that sent chills down Gu Yuan’s spine, "The Gu Family is my home, and the Gu Family Head is my biological father, how could I leave the Gu Family?"

As Gu Zhi’s words fell, Xia Mian nodded earnestly, then turned to Gu Yuan, "Since Gu Zhi wants to stay in the Gu Family, you should relinquish your position as the Family Head!"

Xia Mian’s words were said as if it were completely natural, and Gu Yuan was stunned, his brain momentarily crashing, "What?"

"I said you should step down and let someone more capable take over!" Xia Mian threw her teacup back onto the table, her tone turning cold.

"Xia Mian, I’ve been courteous because of the Divine Clan, but don’t push your luck!" Gu Yuan’s face also grew dark.

With what right did Xia Mian interfere in the Gu Family’s internal matters?

He was considerate towards her, but she showed no appreciation!

Xia Mian looked at Gu Yuan with a half-smile, "Do I need you to give me face?"

Xia Mian’s attitude was arrogant, leaving Gu Yuan feeling completely frustrated by her demeanor!

Falling out with Xia Mian would mean facing the suppression of the Divine Clan and the Wood Clan, but following Xia Mian’s demands would mean changing the Gu Family’s head.

He had worked hard for so many years, only to end up benefiting that little tramp Gu Zhi; he felt wronged!

"This is the Gu Family’s internal matter, outsiders need not interfere!" Gu Yuan’s expression turned cold once more, using "internal matter" to press his point.

Xia Mian chuckled lightly, "Internal matter? I can also make it a personal matter."

With Xia Mian’s words, Gu Yuan’s expression suddenly became uneasy.

"Don’t push too far!" Gu Yuan gritted his back teeth, almost crushing them.

Xia Mian stood up holding Gu Zhi’s hand, her expression carrying a trace of disdain, "And what if I do push you?"

Back then, exploiting Gu Zhi’s biological mother allowed the Gu Family to develop to its current state. Now that the Xuanmen Gu Family had established itself in the Mystical World, they had erased everything Gu Zhi’s mother had done for the Gu Family.

Even Gu Zhi lived a life in the Gu Family worse than a servant!

Xia Mian took a deep breath, "Respect and dignity are not given by others, they are earned! The Gu Family Head behaves poorly, so if others bully and insult you, you’ve brought it upon yourself!"

Gu Yuan was infuriated, his chest heaved violently, but the last of his rationality stopped him from falling out with Xia Mian.

"The lady should not always wish as she pleases, you want me to step down, but the Gu Family’s Elder Council won’t agree!" Gu Yuan’s mind stirred, since he couldn’t confront Xia Mian head-on, he thought he would let Xia Mian deal with the stubborn old geezers of the Gu Family!

Once those old guys saw they were being bullied, they would probably fight Xia Mian to the end for the so-called dignity!

Xia Mian nodded thoughtfully, "You’re right, then bring over your Gu Family’s Elder Council!"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, having no objection to Xia Mian’s suggestion.

He gestured to a young member of the Gu Family standing at the door, whispered a few words in his ear, and sent the youngster to call the others.

Xia Mian sat back down in her place.

Lu Zechuan tilted his head to glance at Xia Mian, offering her a peeled fruit, "Don’t be angry, have some fruit to cool down."

Xia Mian obligingly accepted, being fed fruit by Lu Zechuan himself.

Beside them, Gu Yuan nearly rolled his eyes to the heavens.

He had seen people act as if they were at home, but never to this extent!

Running over to the Gu Family to act wild was one thing, Xia Mian even came here to flaunt affection!

Truly shameless!

The couple didn’t care about anyone else’s feelings, Lu Zechuan feeding, Xia Mian eating, intimate and oblivious.

Gu Zhi watched the inseparable pair with eyes full of envious smile.

To fall in love at first sight yet grow old together, this must be the blessing of generations!

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were the most well-matched and joyful couple she had ever seen.

Inside the receiving room, everyone harbored different thoughts, while outside, the young member who went to deliver the message had already conveyed it to all the elders of the Gu Family.

Upon hearing the words from the youngster, each elder of the Gu Family frowned.

"The Divine Clan truly bullies people too much!" The Great Elder of the Gu Family gritted his teeth, his old eyes flashing sharply.

The messenger showed a trace of indignation, "This is the Gu Family’s internal matter; Gu Zhi was originally an illegitimate child of unknown background. The Family Head took pity on her, took her in, and she didn’t know to be grateful. Instead, she even aims to replace the Family Head! Truly a wolf and a wild ambition!"
