Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 49: The Whole Family is Extraordinary
"It seems that today he is determined to protect this woman. Once she enters the Gu Family, our Gu Family will definitely be disrupted by her incessantly."
Guan Xiaoxue helped her daughter up, looking the very picture of agony and heartbreak: "Daughter, let’s go back. Don’t stoop to the level of such lowly people; she will get her retribution."
Gu Jinghe also stood up, furious, casting a stern glare at Gu Lingqian before reiterating his earlier statement: "Third Uncle is very disappointed in you!"
Gu Lingqian didn’t say anything, his expression unchanging, as he watched this group of people leave the hall.
The Gu Family’s property was quite vast, far beyond Xia Yinian’s imagination.
The main house was residence to the Old Master and Old Madam, and outside in the courtyard, a pathway led to another courtyard.
In each courtyard lived a family.
Third Master’s family also resided in one of these courtyards; although still within the confines of the Gu Family, it was quite a distance away.
One actually needed to take a tourist cart to get from the Gu Family Mansion to Third Master’s courtyard, which gives an idea of just how vast the Gu Family’s grounds are.
After having watched Xia Yinian for a while, Gu Qingqing smiled at Gu Lingqian: "Brother Ling, I’ll be going now too."
She turned and headed outside, her step light, joyful like a fluttering butterfly.
Once the doctors and nurses left and the servants had tidied up the mess on the ground, they too withdrew.
The entire hall returned to its calm, tidy state, as if nothing had ever happened.
"You’ve injured the back of your hand; let’s apply some medicine first." Gu Lingqian turned and headed upstairs.
Xia Yinian hesitated for a moment before finally following him up.
Gu Lingqian was Mr. Gu’s son, and although Mr. Gu had his own courtyard within the Gu Family grounds, Gu Lingqian lived in the main house.
The main house was very large, with the Old Master’s grandsons all residing there.
As for the granddaughters, they could either stay there or return to their parents’ courtyards.
Most often, they would stay in their own courtyards.
From this alone, Xia Yinian could see just how patriarchal the Gu Family was.
Lady Sun’s status was far inferior to that of Young Master Sun.
Fortunately, Old Madam’s room was far from the hall, otherwise the earlier commotion would have surely disturbed her.
Xia Yinian simply couldn’t understand how such a gentle and kind Old Madam could have a son like Gu Jinghe, who couldn’t differentiate right from wrong, and such terrifying granddaughters!
"I didn’t lie. Gu Ziqi came in and demanded that I take off my skirt, then went crazy and started hitting me, and there was also Gu Qingqing..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In that moment of panic, she didn’t know what had tripped her, but now, it wasn’t hard to imagine.
It was Gu Qingqing who had extended her foot, deliberately tripping her!
"Gu Ziqi chased after me with a knife, Gu Qingqing tripped me, and then Gu Ziqi pinned me down."
"As for Gu Ziqi’s injury, yes, I caused it, but it was self-defense!"
She had nearly lost all hope in the Gu Family, except for Old Madam Gu who was a kind person; as for the others... including Gu Lingqian, she had lost all confidence in him.
The whole family was abominable!
"Even if the police were called, I wouldn’t admit it was my fault!"
Gu Lingqian sat in a chair, quietly listening to her speak.
Finally, he said indifferently, "Call the police?"
"I’m not afraid of you calling the police."
"Do you think that in such a grand mansion, incidents like this would ever be reported to the police?"
Xia Yinian paused, not continuing.
She knew it was impossible to call the police, but she really felt wronged, grievously so!
Although Third Master’s family had left, they had effectively ascribed guilt to her.
It seemed they weren’t pursuing it now, but in reality, they had firmly established her guilt, with no chance of overturning it!
