Chapter 759: The King Breaks in the Cold Weather
After the others were taken away, Gu Yin and her group returned to the Gu residence. When they passed by a roast duck restaurant, Chu Yan went in and bought two ducks to go.
Gu Hua asked doubtfully, "Are you really going to buy it?" Isn't this just an excuse you made up on the spot?
Gu Yin smiled and said, "We made the call from home. Grandma and the others heard it. It was just an excuse, but Grandma told us to bring two back to eat, so don't give it away later."
Gu Hua nodded: "I know."
Luckily it's cold now, so I'm wearing long sleeves and a coat, otherwise the injury on my arm would be visible, and it would be hard to explain then.
When Chu Yan returned to the Gu family home, the meal was already prepared. He handed the roast duck to the old lady and said with a smile, "It's all ready. Just have the auntie plate it. It's still hot."
The old lady took the food box, then looked at the group and asked in confusion, "Didn't you go out a long time ago? Why are you only coming back now? When you called Ashu, you said you were waiting for roast duck. I remember that Ayan's family is a VIP there. You could have just made a phone call. Where did you go?"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's because Ahua and Brother Chen's car broke down on their way back, so we went to pick them up. There was a traffic jam on the way, so we were a little slow. Grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat quickly!"
Seeing this, the old lady stopped arguing and nodded: "Please take your seats. Everyone else is back and changing clothes. I'll have the auntie serve the dishes."
He then went to the kitchen.
After all the dishes were served, the other adults in the family came out and took their seats one by one.
Chu Yan and Chen Jishen also ate at the Gu family's place. At first, Chen Jishen was hesitant to stay for dinner, but after seeing that Chu Yan not only stayed for dinner but also stayed overnight and even had his own room, he stopped being shy and just made himself at home!
During the meal, everyone was chatting about their lives. Gu Hua, caught up in the conversation, forgot about what had just happened. Sure enough, as she reached out to pick up the middle plate of food, her sleeve slipped up, revealing her fair skin and wrist.
The purplish-blue marks were immediately visible.
Li Xiang was serving soup when she noticed her daughter's sleeve slipping up. She wanted to remind her to watch her clothes, but then she saw a bruise around the girl's wrist!
Startled, Li Xiang immediately put down her chopsticks and went over. She picked up the woman's arm and examined it carefully, frowning as she asked worriedly, "What happened to your arm?! How did you get hurt?! What hurt you?!"
Her reaction drew everyone's attention, and they noticed the scars on Gu Hua's wrist!
The old lady knew what had happened as soon as she saw the marks.
"She was strangled by a rope! Tell me! What happened? Was it a kidnapping? Or a fight? How did her arm get tied up?! Eldest daughter-in-law, look at her other hand, is it injured too?!"
Hearing the old lady say that, Li Xiang immediately picked up Gu Hua's other hand that she was trying to hide, and pulled down the sleeve, revealing a purplish-blue bruise!
Everyone was now in a state of panic! Gu Qingming immediately asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?!"
Seeing everyone's worried and angry expressions, Gu Hua had no choice but to explain what had happened.
After hearing Gu Hua's words, Gu Qingming slammed his hand on the table in anger: "He calls himself a scion of a noble family! What kind of 'scion of a noble family' is he! Disgusting! I think that noble family is nothing special! Luckily the little beast was caught! Otherwise, I would have beaten him to death!"
"They say the less disciplined a place is, the dirtier it is! I don't know how the Zhang family raised such a person!" Li Xiang's eyes were red. Even though Gu Hua spoke so casually and calmly, she was still terrified! If A Yin hadn't noticed, and A Hua had been arrested without anyone knowing, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"We need to arrange bodyguards for all the kids in the family, both boys and girls! Ah Yin, ask your Uncle Zhou to help us find some!" Gu Qingming looked at Gu Yin. Zhou Wansheng knew people who were mercenaries abroad, so the bodyguards he arranged would be more reliable and convenient.
Gu Yin nodded; she had already planned to do so.
Gu Qinglang's expression was also not good. He looked at the company's business and found that there was no cooperation with the Zhang family, so he looked at Chu Yan.
"Ayan, does your Chu family have a cooperative relationship with the Zhang family?"
Chu Yan nodded: "There are some collaborations. Before dinner, I already told the people at the company that we will no longer cooperate with the Zhang family, and all existing collaborations will be terminated! If the Chu family makes a move, other companies that have deep cooperation with the Chu family will also seriously consider whether the other party is in any crisis, and thus stop cooperating. Companies like the Zhang family that are involved in the entertainment industry will find it very difficult to recover once a crisis occurs."
Even without the Gu family saying anything, he already knew Gu Yin's thoughts and had made arrangements in advance. Right now, the Zhang family should have received the news and be on their way to the Chu family.
