Chapter 317 Chris Fires the Shot
Chris stopped Paul's butler, preventing him from leaving.
"There's no need for such ambiguous words. I know what you're going to do. You want to bring Yuxin back? No way."
Chris reached out to stop Paul, but his gaze went straight to the old patriarch.
His eyes glanced at the table and saw an expert report, which meant that the old man already knew everything.
Since that's the case, then he has nothing to hide.
Chris gave a cold snort: "Looks like you went and asked for another report. I didn't expect you to be so quick."
However, he has no worries now. The cruise ship that Bai Yuxin is on has already sailed more than a hundred kilometers away. Even if they wanted to chase after it, they wouldn't be able to find it.
Moreover, with Lu Jingxiao constantly monitoring them, these people have no chance.
The old patriarch was furious at the sight of Chris, to the point of rage and hatred. He slammed his fist on the table and demanded, "Chris, what exactly do you want?"
"You've turned the whole family upside down. Even when Bai Yuxin was pregnant with the Chris family's child, you still dared to make her leave. Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
Chris, with a nonchalant attitude, didn't take the old man seriously at all: "There are too many things I wouldn't dare to do. If I disobey you, wouldn't I be struck by lightning?"
"you...."
The old patriarch didn't want to talk to him at all, but some unpleasant things had to be said upfront: "Chris, you must remember that you only have your current status because of this family. Without this family, you are nothing. Remember this well: the children of the Chris family will never be left to wander outside."
"If Bai Yuxin can obediently cooperate and give birth to the child at home, I will not mistreat her. Even if she cannot enter the Chris family, I will ensure her safety."
This is already the biggest concession he can make; if he doesn't accept it, he'll be pushing his luck.
For a child born to a servant to receive the honor of being the young master of the Chris family is already an immense honor.
If we continue like this... then we're being ungrateful?
"Does the Chris family's door have gold or diamonds? Do you really think everyone would be willing to fight tooth and nail to get in? Your grandson isn't money; I can't please everyone."
If he could, he wouldn't want to stay in the Chris family, and he also didn't want his beloved woman to be here.
"You..." The old patriarch had no choice but to yell at Paul, "Are you dead? What are you doing standing here? Go find someone for me right now!"
Almost instantly, Chris pulled out his pistol and fired a shot right at Paul's feet, his words full of threat: "If you dare to take a single step today, the next bullet will be right in your head."
In any case, Paul will not be able to leave this estate today.
Paul looked at the old patriarch in horror. He didn't know what to do. If he took a step, young master Chris would kill him. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to complete the task the patriarch had given him today.
The old patriarch's face turned ashen with anger: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Nothing much. You just need to stay in the manor today and do nothing. That's a very simple request."
It seems he's determined not to allow anyone to pursue Bai Yuxin.
Then we should face their suspicions more directly: Bai Yuxin has already left.
He still beat me to it.
That brat.
I have no idea what he's trying to do.
Chris casually pulled out a chair and sat down, his pistol slamming prominently on the table, giving off an air of "whoever dares to touch it will die."
"Chris, this family will belong to you in the future, so why are you doing these things?"
The old patriarch just couldn't understand why, when the Chris family was already his, he would go through all this trouble.
Chris only needs to marry the young lady from the prestigious family they've arranged for him to inherit the family fortune. Is that too much to ask?
Why did he fall for that nobody girl?
What magic does Bai Yuxin possess?
"Old man, you've been pretending for so many years, you haven't really forgotten, have you? Do you still remember how my father died?"
"Do you think my existence is glorious? I was born without anyone's blessing. Do you want my child to suffer the same fate?"
Absolutely impossible.
He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
Back then, Dad clearly had someone he loved, and the two of them were at the age to get married, just like his relationship with Bai Yuxin.
However, the old man in front of us brought my father back and used the life and death of my father's beloved to force him to marry my mother.
Even my mother's pregnancy was a scheme orchestrated by the old man; he used an aphrodisiac, and even self-harm couldn't alleviate the symptoms.
He was forced into a relationship with his mother, which resulted in his birth.
For a young master not blessed by his parents, having a child means his mission as a father is complete.
After he came into existence, the old man secretly assassinated the father's beloved, so after he was born, the father went with his beloved.
So what does this mean?
Is he planning to use the same method to coerce him?
But he's not her father, and Bai Yuxin is different from that woman.
No one could separate him and Bai Yuxin, not even the old man.
Since this family has been rotten from beginning to end, let's break the rules and start from scratch.
"Why...why are you bringing up your father's unfilial son? He deserved that fate; he brought it on himself and has no one to blame but himself."
The old patriarch turned his head away somewhat guiltily. Over the years, he had regretted it more than once, but he was in charge of the Chris family, and such a family would not give him a chance to regret it.
"I just want to say that I am not the spineless person my father is. If he wants to control me, he has to see if I'm willing to do it."
"you...."
**
On the cruise ship, after resting for two hours, Luo Zhiwei and Bai Yuxin prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat. Bai Yuxin was almost three months pregnant. While others would be experiencing severe morning sickness at this time, she didn't feel any morning sickness at all. Instead, her appetite increased.
"Sister Luo, let's go find our two brothers and go downstairs to eat together."
As soon as they reached the door, Gu Yulin and Gu Beixiao opened the door as well.
Gu Beixiao walked up to them with a gentle smile: "I was just about to call you down for dinner, but I didn't expect the three of us to open the door at the same time."
Gu Yulin, on the other hand, looked smug: "That's why they say birds of a feather flock together. After all, we're family, so our thoughts are naturally aligned."
It feels pretty good to bring my younger siblings home.
Although there used to be a second, third, and fourth child, this feeling is different.
The two people in front of him were his younger brother and sister, who were related to him by blood. He truly experienced what it was like to be an older brother.
That's different.
"Brother Gu, Brother Bei Xiao, let's go downstairs first. The waiter said that there will be seafood and Chinese food for dinner tonight. I have to try it. I've been hungry for a long time."
Gu Yulin: "......"
It gave the impression that she was being abused.
But when they went downstairs to have their meal, the cruise ship suddenly stopped.
"Dear passengers, we apologize that due to severe weather at sea, with strong winds currently affecting the area 100 kilometers ahead, our cruise ship needs to suspend operations. Everything on board will remain unchanged. Please enjoy your meal and drinks. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
Upon receiving this notification, Gu Yulin frowned deeply.
But they had studied the situation at sea, and there had been no strong sea winds for nearly a week. What were these people up to?
"Weiwei, Yuxin, you two go back to your room. Beixiao, you go and keep them company. I'll have the waiter bring dinner to your room."
