Everyone present was completely taken aback when Gu Zixiao suddenly attacked, giving no one a chance to retaliate.
The person who had been hit covered his face, glaring at Gu Zixiao with resentment: "How dare you hit me!"
Gu Zixiao sneered: "I'll hit you whenever I want, why do I need to consider the time and place?"
Gu Zixiao could only sneer at this kind of person.
"Gu Zixiao, what's wrong with you? Why did you cause such a scene as soon as you got home? If this continues, don't come back again."
This was said by someone from the third branch of the Gu family.
Gu Zixiao raised her eyes and glanced indifferently at them: "I remember the old man isn't dead yet, right? To be honest, this place still belongs to the old man. Whether I come back or not is none of your business. You're not worthy. Wait until you're qualified before you come and show off in front of me."
Gu Zixiao's words successfully silenced the other members of the Gu family present.
Because what Gu Zixiao said was true. The entire Gu family is on a downward spiral, and the only one they can still be proud of is Gu Zixiao.
Moreover, Gu Zixiao is now highly capable and has made many contributions.
The higher-ups are currently holding him back and don't intend to promote him, fearing that if he's too young and promoted too quickly, he'll face a lot of criticism.
To put it bluntly, it's a way of protecting him.
Logically speaking, they should be clinging tightly to Gu Zixiao right now.
But for some reason, they just couldn't say it.
Seeing that the time was right, Lan Yao slowly stepped forward and said, "Since the Gu family doesn't welcome us, let's leave. Anyway, we've already done our part as ordinary people."
To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with the Gu family.
Gu Zixiao touched Lan Yao's face. "Yes. They really disappointed me. So let's go."
"good."
Gu Zixiao held Lan Yao's hand and walked out, saying, "I told you before, don't come over. What's the point of talking to these idiots?"
They were all arrogant and looked down on their family backgrounds, but in the end, they didn't have any real skills.
I don't know what there is to be proud of!
Don't you know the saying, "There are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens"? I'm truly speechless.
To be fair, Gu Zixiao did have the ability to be arrogant before he met Lan Yao.
At least at that stage, he was indeed formidable; at least back then, no one could defeat him.
Even now!
Apart from Lan Yao, no one can do anything to him.
Therefore, Gu Zixiao can be as arrogant as he wants.
But what about the Gu family?
Tsk tsk.
Lan Yao sighed softly, "I thought there was at least one sensible person in your family."
Gu Zixiao: "The sensible person isn't home."
As Gu's mother watched Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao walk out, she should have called them back.
But her mouth opened and closed, and in the end, she didn't say anything.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Aren't you Gu Zixiao's mother? You just let your son go like this? When the old man finds out, we'll all get scolded."
Mrs. Gu said calmly, "So what if I get scolded? It's not like I went out of my way to provoke them."
After she finished speaking, she didn't care what others thought and went straight back to her room.
What I'm really thinking is something no one else knows, and I don't care.
"She just left like that?"
"No wonder her son isn't close to her."
"No, wasn't Second Sister-in-law making quite a fuss before? Why is she like this now?"
"There's a feeling that you've come all this way, but this is how it ends."
Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao didn't care what the Gu family was thinking.
They're not ones to be bullied. Since you don't like it, there's no need for us to stay here and get in their way.
So Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao left decisively and naturally forgot about this little thing.
They forgot, and they left.
However, when the head of the Gu family returned home after hearing the news, Old Master Gu looked at his family members with utter disappointment and was too lazy to even utter a word of scolding.
Grandma Gu said calmly from the side, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can control them for a while, but can you control them forever? By the time you die, you'll be dead. As long as you can face your ancestors with a clear conscience, that's enough."
Whether they fared well or poorly afterward is their own business.
As long as we've fulfilled our obligations, that's fine.
After Grandma Gu's persuasion, the last bit of hope in Grandpa Gu's heart vanished.
He looked at them and said, "Since we've already separated, you don't need to live here anymore. Go wherever you want."
Old Master Gu was quite blunt.
They did indeed separate before, which was caused by Gu Nan.
After the family split up, Gu Nan decisively returned to the south with his wife, Gu Jiaojiao, but was transferred back at the beginning of this year.
However, after they returned, they only looked at the elderly couple and ignored everyone else.
However, after Gu Nan and Lan Jiaojiao returned, Gu Nan was finally transferred back to the capital.
They knew their families might find them annoying, so they simply found a place to live.
Previously, Beijing was quite chaotic, so there were many vacant houses.
They have no problem finding a place to rent.
So, after they had briefly settled in the capital, Lan Jiaojiao naturally discovered Lan Yao's existence through a few clues.
Perhaps she was just naturally at odds with Lan Yao, so it wasn't surprising that she discovered Lan Yao's existence.
Later, she also heard that Lan Yao wanted to marry Gu Zixiao.
Lan Jiaojiao might not have known who Gu Zixiao was before, but she found out later.
Despite Gu Nan's apparent dislike for Gu Zixiao, he was genuinely envious and jealous of her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't always grit his teeth whenever he mentions Gu Zixiao.
Furthermore, Gu Zixiao is indeed better than Gu Nan, whether in terms of appearance, ability, or salary.
He was far superior to Gu Zixiao, so no matter how hard Gu Nan tried, he couldn't catch up. Isn't that infuriating?
Gu Nan was suppressed by Gu Zixiao since childhood.
There was a time when he even wished that Gu Zixiao would die out there.
Unfortunately, his beautiful wish was never fulfilled.
Today, Gu Nan and Lan Jiaojiao came to the door again with some things. As soon as they entered, they noticed that the atmosphere at home was not very good.
After Lan Jiaojiao noticed something, she vaguely guessed what was going on. Gu Nan, however, was unaware of this and asked with some confusion, "What happened at home? What's wrong?"
When Sister-in-law Gu saw that it was her son, she said irritably, "Why are you here today?"
