Hearing her foolish request, Commander Gu was very disappointed in her. He glanced at his wife beside him and saw her ruthless expression. He knew that they were thinking the same thing. They had been disappointed in her ever since she brought Xiao Li back, and they regretted letting Gu Jinghe go to find her.
“Go back now. Since we’ve already arranged work for you, we won’t do it again. As for how you lost your job, that’s none of our business. I’ll say it again: from now on, I, Gu Wenpeng, have nothing to do with you, Gu Jingxi. Whether you die out there or whatever, it’s none of our business. Take your men and get out of here.”
After saying that, Commander Gu led Teacher Shen back into the house. They had been shrewd all their lives, and their two sons, while not exceptionally intelligent, were certainly not stupid enough to be this foolish. How could they have given birth to such a daughter?
Upon hearing Commander Gu's words, Gu Jingxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she immediately lost all strength. Xiao Li, who was beside her, did not even think of helping her up, and watched as she knelt straight on the ground.
"Are you trying to threaten my parents with a self-inflicted injury?"
Gu Jingming was already ten years old when Gu Jingxi got married. He couldn't understand why his older sister would hurt their parents so much for a good-for-nothing man. He remembered that when Gu Jingxi's marriage happened, Teacher Shen would often hide away and cry. After wiping away her tears, she would still have to cheer up and take care of him and teach his class. During that time, Teacher Shen lost a lot of weight. Even his father, who was not usually strict with him, was listless during that period and kept a close eye on him and Gu Jinghe.
"Little brother, please help me. Please talk to my father for me. I really have no other choice. If I don't have a job, I'll really die."
She was truly terrified when she thought about what she had said to her in-laws these past few days, and the promises she had made to her grandmother and mother-in-law before leaving home today. If she didn't get a good outcome when she returned home today, she was sure she would be beaten.
"This is your business. You said it yourself that your life is none of our business, and your parents don't need to worry about it. You'll be very happy without them, won't you?"
"Get out of here, or I'll have my brother-in-law throw you out," he said, glancing at Huo Haocheng behind him.
When Xiao Li saw Huo Haocheng, who was wearing a military uniform and was a head taller than him, staring straight at him, he was so frightened that he forgot about the people on the ground and ran away.
By the time Gu Jingxi came to her senses, he had already disappeared. Helpless, she could only take her things and go back to make further plans.
