The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Gu Jingze stretched out his hand to stop him. “That’s enough. Mr. Yun, I’ve already said what I have to say. Leave C Nation or be destroyed. Take your pick.”

Yun Kuoshan looked at Gu Jingze’s resolute manner and found it a little hard to swallow at the moment.

“Why must you do this… Jingze, there has been some camaraderie between us in the past. See…”

“Any camaraderie we had has already been broken by you guys. Yun Kuoshan, I don’t even have to tell you how many times your family nearly caused us harm. But this last time, you guys nearly killed my child. This is something that I definitely can’t tolerate!”

Yun Kuoshan felt an overwhelming sense of unease. He looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Seriously, we didn’t do it on purpose. Yun Luo, what are you looking at? Quick, apologize to them.”

Yun Luo hastily lowered her head and said with an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry, Lin Che. I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Lin Che looked at Yun Luo and repeated, “I’m sorry… I didn’t do it on purpose… Sorry. When it comes to certain matters, saying such words is useless.”

She herself knew whether or not she had done it on purpose. Besides, even if she had apologized, it was also Lin Che’s choice whether or not to forgive her. She could not possibly have an obligation to forgive someone just because that person had apologized.

Yun Kuoshan quickly said, “Jingze, give us another chance. We definitely won’t make such mistakes again in the future. I mean it.”

Gu Jingze looked at him. “Didn’t you hear what my wife said? We’re not planning to forgive you. Alright. See our guests out.”

He said directly while waving his hand dismissively.

Yun Kuoshan immediately got anxious. He hastily moved forward but only managed to take a step before the bodyguards immediately blocked him.

Yun Kuoshan asked, “Gu Jingze, what are you trying to do now? I admit that we were anxious to achieve quick success and made a mistake. But you can’t eradicate us so ruthlessly either, right? What will outsiders think if they saw it? You just took office as the head of the Gu family. Do you really want to make the people who submit to you prosper and the people who oppose you perish?”

Gu Jingze was apathetic without a hint of warmth. It made their hearts turn weak because they were unable to tell what Gu Jingze was feeling and what exactly he was thinking. Was there still any trace of mercy or was he really going to annihilate them ruthlessly?

Gu Jingze said, “I won’t go as far as to make the people who submit to me prosper and the people who oppose me perish. But there is something you must know and it’s that I won’t attack unless I’m attacked. If I’m attacked… I will definitely kill the attacker.”

Killing intent appeared in Gu Jingze’s eyes.

Yun Kuoshan’s heart jerked and he felt completely disheartened.

But he did not believe it. He did not believe that Gu Jingze really dared to do this.

The Yun family had been around for more than a hundred years. How could they disappear into thin air immediately just because of one Gu Jingze?

He looked at Gu Jingze gloomily, “Ha. If you really dare to eradicate the Yun family so ruthlessly, our family will not let you trample on us so easily. Even if we have to engage in a life and death struggle with you, we will definitely not let you off easily.”

However, Gu Jingze’s gaze was completely calm. He merely looked at Yun Kuoshan loftily and said coldly, “A life and death struggle? Do you think that the Yun family in its present state has the ability to engage in a life and death struggle with me?”

“You…”

Yun Kuoshan looked at the bodyguards beside them before looking behind at Gu Jingze who looked resolute. He finally gave up on begging for mercy and turned around to walk out. While walking, he sneered and said, “I don’t believe that you, Gu Jingze, would dare to do it. Even a rabbit would bite people when it is anxious. When the time comes, the Yun family will join hands with all the other businessmen in protest against your monopoly. When that happens, even if the Yun Kuoshan ends up in ruins, we still have to tear a layer of skin off the Gu family.”

Yun Kuoshan walked out. He was sure that Gu Jingze would not have enough power.

Beside him, Yun Luo asked with worry, “Father, what should we do now?”

Yun Kuoshan gritted his teeth. “I don’t believe that Gu Jingze can turn the world upside-down. He can’t possibly be so bold as to kill our family. Success won’t be guaranteed either. Hmph. Sooner or later, he will regret falling out with us today.”

However, Yun Luo still felt uneasy. “But he didn’t look like he had no confidence earlier…”

“Hmph. Ultimately, he’s young and rash. If this had happened in Gu Xiande’s time, the Gu family would definitely not be so arrogant. He’s behaving so lawlessly because he actually thinks that his position is stable.”

Although Yun Kuoshan was not confident about it, he still felt that Gu Jingze probably would not dare to do it.

With this thought in mind, he and Yun Luo left this place together.

—

Inside, Lin Che watched Yun Kuoshan and Yunluo leave. Then, she said to Gu Jingze, “Is it really alright to fall out with the Yun family like this?”

Gu Jingze said, “Of course, I say that because I’m confident. He thinks that I will be prudent, but it’s a pity that I’m not Grandfather. I’m not as indecisive as he is. After all, Grandfather and I do things differently. I think that he still needs to familiarize himself with the way I do things before he has any right to come and confront me. That’s enough. Ignore them.”

Lin Che nodded. She felt that Gu Jingze did indeed have his own views on what to do. Furthermore, he very seldom failed.

In comparison, of course, Lin Che did not understand such things.

Gu Jingze said, “Rest up over the next few days. We’ll be busy for a few more days before the year ends.”

Initially, Gu Jingze had many social events to attend this year as he had just become the head of the Gu family. However, he canceled these events due to Lin Che’s sudden pregnancy. He wanted to avoid a situation where he went to a social event and left Lin Che at home alone as that would worry him.

As a consequence, many people came to visit them at home nearing the end of the year.

Everyone was slightly perplexed by the temperament of this new head of the family. They had initially wanted to make use of the new year celebrations to invite him out and get to know him. However, they did not expect Gu Jingze to decline most of the invitations. He kept such a low profile and instead made them feel uncertain.

Over the next few days, Lin Che saw the presents accumulate. There were literally countless presents. She was confused. In the past, it seemed that Gu Jingze did not have this many social appointments. However, she did not know what had been happening for the past two days. So many people came to give them presents.

Lin Che went over to open the presents. Each present was more sparkly than the next.

She flipped through the presents and asked in surprise, “What the hell. What are all these things?”

Beside her, the maid smiled and said, “Someone knows that we have a pet dog, so they custom-made a leash for it.”

“No way… custom-made… isn’t that way too wasteful?” She looked at the gems and diamonds on the leash. She figured that she would get robbed if she went out.

The maid thought to herself that that was a matter of course. If a mutt wore this leash out, it would really blind everyone’s eyes with its brightness.

However, this dog just had to be Gu Jingze’s dog.

The maid said, “Sir is the head of the Gu family now. He’s in a different position than in the past. That’s why there are so many gifts.”

Only then did Lin Che understand that there was such a huge difference after he became the head of the Gu family.

She shrugged and said, “Gu Jingze doesn’t even have to do anything. The presents alone are enough for us to live a few lifetimes.”

Hearing her words, the maid smiled even more. “Madam, even if you don’t accept the gifts now, the money that the Gu family has is enough for you to spend for many years.”

That was true too…

Just then, Gu Jingze returned from outside.
