"You really think you're some kind of genius? Don't you know how you got into university? What gives you the nerve to say that university students should skip classes? Who skips class to go shopping like you?"

Zhao Yanyan was beaten so badly that she screamed and ran away, leaving cups, plates and vases shattered all over the floor, turning the luxurious living room into a mess.

Zhu Xiaoqin was extremely disappointed in Zhao Yanyan, but she was powerless to stop Zhao Guangsheng. She could only slump down on the sofa, cover her face and cry bitterly.

Coincidentally, that very evening, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan returned to the Imperial Capital Compound for dinner.

The family was eating when they heard a clanging noise coming from next door.

Several dogs started barking wildly in the courtyard, mixed with the cries of children.

Gu Huaiqian put down his chopsticks, opened the door, and walked into the yard to listen to the sounds from next door.

Fang Ru called him in and said dismissively, "Why are you meddling in other people's business!"

Gu Huaiqian picked up his chopsticks again and said with some worry, "It seems that Principal Zhao has taken action; both the mother and daughter are crying."

Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan exchanged a knowing glance.

Fang Ru noticed their unspoken understanding and asked with a smile, "What, do you two know what happened to the Zhao family?"

Gu Zhiyun placed a piece of braised pork on Shen Jingyan's plate and said in a very cold tone, "What does his family's business have to do with our family?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud thud was heard, and Zhu Xiaoqin rushed in, looking flustered, and called out in a hoarse voice:

"Quick, quick, help me! My husband, Lao Zhao, has had a heart attack and passed out!"

Gu Huaiqian, always kind-hearted and easygoing, put the conflict between the two families behind him at this moment. He put down his chopsticks, and without even putting on his coat, he ran out.

Fang Ru quickly grabbed his coat and chased after him.

Gu Zhiyun glanced at Shen Jingyan, his expression hesitant.

Shen Jingyan said decisively, "Human life is of utmost importance. Let's go and see if we can be of any help."
