Hello, Heir

Gu Xingshan swallowed the words, which were at the tip of her tongue. She paused for a moment before saying, “You were the person who had originally betrayed Brother-in-law. You were the person who stole the drafts. If you weren’t the person who had stolen them, what did you hand over to us, exactly? Were they some random designs that you picked up somewhere to humor Father?”

These words extinguished the anger that had been raging in Gu Deshou’s heart. He glanced at Zhuang Nainai, puzzled.

She even knew how to change the topic?

But she still had far to go if she wanted to win against Zhuang Nainai in a debate!

Zhuang Nainai looked into Gu Deshou’s eyes as she said, “If the drafts that I had handed over to you were terrible, would the Chief Designer of the Gus have used them as bases for your design and improved on them? Gu Xingshan, do you think what you just said was persuasive?”

Gu Deshou appeared to be deep in thought.

Gu Xingshan started to feel frantic. “You…”

“What do you mean by ‘you’? Gu Xingshan, you think you would have married Si Zhengting if I hadn’t married him first, don’t you? But you didn’t know that the matter regarding the design drafts had blown up last morning! The Imperial Group had conducted an internal meeting about this matter of plagiarism. Si Zhengting had already dealt with the matter quietly, and he had trusted my word on this! But you went to the Si’s residence to complain about this! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

After she said this, Zhuang Nainai turned to Gu Deshou. “Are you planning to let your other daughter marry Si Zhengting if I end up divorcing him? What kind of person do you think Si Zhengting is? Even a lecherous and hungry ghost wouldn’t want her as a partner!”

After she heard the vicious and brutally honest words that Zhuang Nainai had to say, Gu Xingshan was at the edge of a mental breakdown. After all, she was still young and unable to contain her temper. She was so angry that her arms were shaking as she pointed at Zhuang Nainai and angrily retorted, “What did you say, you b*tch?! How could Mr. Si turn his nose up at me? I was the person who should have married him in the first place? What right do you have to stand by his side, a penniless scum from the slums?”

Her face was contorted in anger, which made her look evil yet pitiful at the same time.

Gu Deshou was so furious that his expression was ashen. He glared at Gu Xingshan and roared, “Shut up!”

After he finished speaking, he stood up with a “bang,” then ran toward Gu Xingshan. “You unfilial daughter! Will you only be happy once the Gu family goes out of business? Why would you go out of your way to create trouble at your sister’s house?”

As he said that, he waved his hand around close to Gu Xingshan’s body.

Gu Xingshan was so afraid that she jumped up and screamed. She cowered behind Li Yufeng, screaming, “Mother, save me!”

Li Yufeng craned her neck and faced Gu Deshou. “What are you doing? Xingshan’s still young, even if she has done something wrong, can’t you tell her off nicely? Why are you getting physical?”

Gu Deshou was so angry that his hands were shaking. “What am I doing? Just listen to what your daughter has done! Back off, you have spoiled this child. She behaves outrageously without considering the effect it has on other people! If I don’t teach her a lesson, I’ll be letting Qingyan down!”

After hearing this, Li Yufeng grew anxious. “Fine, if you want to teach her a lesson, you have to teach me a lesson first! You’re going to hit her, right? Then hit me first!”

Li Yufeng gesticulated toward her own face as she spoke angrily.

Gu Deshou was hopping mad after seeing how unreasonable she was. He clenched his fist mid-air. Upon seeing how stubborn she was, he seemed to consider his options again briefly. Finally, his hand flopped down lifelessly.

Gu Xingshan cried, “Father, you can’t hit Mother! Don’t you still want me to follow her?!”

After hearing this, Li Yufeng turned around and hugged Gu Xingshan, tears rolling down the former’s cheeks. She choked out, “I think you actually don’t have any issues with Xingshan. Your issues lie with me. I’m the one who is stopping you from getting together with that b*tch! You want to let me go? Fine, I’ll leave!”
