The guests all stood up to look at the big screen, and at such an important moment, Gu Wanrou returned to Gu Zhenting's side.
Looking at this happy family scene, Gu Momo felt, for some reason, that it was so jarring.
If Dong Wenrun hadn't interfered back then, perhaps she wouldn't have lost her mother.
Thinking of this, she picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
The cheerful laughter in the birthday greeting video vlog sounded incredibly jarring to Gu Momo's ears.
Enjoy yourselves while you can, because from now on... you'll only suffer a living hell in tears!
She put down her wine glass and was about to leave when suddenly the video on the big screen froze.
Gu Zhenting's family and guests were all somewhat surprised.
After a brief pause, the video resumed playing, but what greeted the viewer was a scene too painful to look at.
"Mrs. Gu, what excuse did you come up with to see me today?" In the video, the man was shirtless and looked to be only in his early twenties.
He lay on his side, propping his head up with his right hand, a posture that was particularly thought-provoking.
The woman next to him had her upper body covered by the blanket, and because she was completely under the covers, only half of her profile could be seen.
Then, the woman wrapped her arm around the man's neck, her red-nailed fingers tracing his face. From the skin on her fingers, it was clear that this woman was not young.
"What excuse do I need to see you? You're so young and so strong, you've almost stolen my soul."
Such filthy sounds instantly disgusted everyone present.
"What...what is this thing?!"
"This is disgusting, my God! Did the hotel put it in the wrong place?"
"This woman must be keeping a gigolo, right? But to be honest, why does that voice sound so familiar?"
"..."
Gu Momo raised an eyebrow casually. Oh... interesting.
Dong Qingrun's eyes widened instantly, and he gripped his wine glass tightly in disbelief!
No! How could this be...? How could this video be here?!
She was terrified and her face paled. She immediately shouted angrily, "What is this thing! Take it down right now!"
The staff rushed over in a panic, "Mrs. Gu, we're so sorry, we don't know what happened either. The control room is locked from the inside, and our people can't get in!"
"Then unplug the power!" Dong Qingrun roared!
The staff member was thrown into chaos. Before he could even touch the socket, the woman in the video suddenly stood up, revealing a face that shocked everyone.
The scene erupted in chaos: "Isn't that... Mrs. Gu?"
"My God, so Mrs. Gu was keeping a lover behind Mr. Gu's back!"
"Is he really that amazing? Or is it that President Gu is just too old and can't keep up?"
"Hahaha... This is hilarious! Today is Mr. Gu's birthday banquet, and Mrs. Gu has given him such a big surprise! It seems Mrs. Gu loves Mr. Gu to the core, hahaha..."
Suddenly, all sorts of voices emerged.
Even Gu Shanshan and Gu Wanrou's faces turned pale and then red.
"Mom, is that really you in the video?" Gu Shanshan asked incredulously, pointing at the screen.
At this moment, Dong Wenrun felt like he wanted to die.
Her face was contorted with grief, and her voice was humble, "Shanshan, listen to Mom's explanation, it's not what you think, it's not what everyone thinks! I... I can..."
"Slap!" Before she could finish speaking, a loud slap landed on her face.
Unable to withstand such force, she collapsed to the ground, her head spinning, and soon blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Zhenting's forehead veins bulged, his nostrils flared from heavy breathing, and he pointed at her, cursing as he trembled, "You bitch! How have I, Gu Zhenting, ever wronged you? How dare you keep a gigolo behind my back! How could you be so shameless!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a stool from the side and was about to smash it down on Dong Wenrun.
Gu Shanshan and Gu Wanrou were terrified and quickly stepped forward, each holding one of Gu Zhenting on one side, to stop him from losing control.
"Dad! I know you're angry right now, but even if you beat Mom to death today, it won't solve anything. Let's talk about it when we get home!" Gu Shanshan pleaded earnestly. It was already embarrassing enough; did they really want to start a fight here and let others see the Gu family fighting amongst themselves?
“Yes, Dad, calm down first,” Gu Wanrou also advised.
But Gu Zhenting is a man after all, and no man would let such an insult go unpunished.
Gu Zhenting was furious. He picked up a wine glass and smashed it across Dong Qingrun's face. "You like keeping gigolos, huh? I'll ruin your face and see how you'll keep gigolos then!"
The wine glass shattered on the floor, and Gu Zhenting grabbed the broken pieces and slashed at Dong Qingrun's face!
"Ahhh..."
Dong Qingrun let out a scream as blood streamed down his face!
Gu Shanshan and Gu Wanrou quickly intervened, "Dad, please spare Mom first!"
"Spare him? Then who will spare me?" Gu Zhenting's eyes were bloodshot as he slapped Dong Qingrun across the face one after another!
Dong Qingrun was his ideal woman in his youth. He could allow her to make any mistakes, but he could not allow her to trample on his dignity as a man.
She made him lose face, so he resorted to violence to assert his status as a man!
To put it bluntly, no matter how useless he is outside, his slaps are effective when it comes to his own woman!
Dong Qingrun immediately knelt down and begged, "Ahhh... Husband, you've wronged me! How could the person in this video be me? Someone must be framing me! Husband, I'm the most obedient one, you have to believe me, husband..."
Her pleading finally made Gu Zhenting feel like he had regained his dignity as a man.
So he kicked even harder, shouting, "Beg me! Beg me again!"
The surrounding guests took out their phones to take pictures and even made some lewd noises.
"President Gu really has guts! This is how you deal with a woman like that!"
"My wife is like a tigress, but Mr. Gu really knows how to handle women. Mr. Gu truly lives up to his reputation!"
"That's what a real man is like, Mr. Gu! We should all learn from him and see if the women in our families dare to cause trouble then, hahaha..."
The malicious flattery from the surrounding guests made Gu Zhenting feel inexplicably pleased, and he finally let Dong Qingrun go.
Gu Momo frowned deeply, extremely uncomfortable, as she listened to the men's jeering.
Birds of a feather flock together, as expected. Gu Zhenting's cronies are all the kind of people who only know how to use women to boost their own power!
She quickly took a step to leave, but Dong Qingrun slapped her across the face. "Gu Momo, you think you can just leave? You did this today, deliberately slandering me, didn't you?!"
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Gu Momo's eyes. She suddenly grabbed Dong Qingrun's wrist and kicked her far away!
