After the meal, Jiang Hua kept holding Gu Yiming's hand, trying to leave, her suppressed anger unbearable.
Gu Yiming grabbed Jiang Hua's hand tightly, wanting to comfort her.
"I'm going back."
Gu Yiming stood up abruptly and pulled Jiang Hua, intending to leave.
Gu Nanqing watched with amusement, sipping his wine intently. His gaze inadvertently met Bai Wei's, and he nodded slightly, then adopted the demeanor of an obedient child.
"What are you doing?" Gu Heng's voice was somewhat old, yet exceptionally imposing.
Jiang Hua trembled, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Jiang Hua was unwilling to say much to Gu Yiming's father; she simply listened attentively.
Gu Yiming thought Jiang Hua was scared, so he stretched out his long arm and put his arm around her slender waist, whispering, "It's okay, let's go home."
Seeing this, Gu Heng felt even more disgusted with Jiang Hua. With Bai Wei's help, Gu Heng said in a low voice, "You must sleep at home tonight."
After saying that, she went back to her room without waiting for Gu Yiming's reaction.
Seeing this, all the servants with good judgment lowered their heads and pretended not to know.
With Gu Nanqing and the other two remaining in the dining room, Jiang Hua, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke softly, "Let's stay here tonight. I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
"Okay, I'll be back in a bit, I'll be back in a bit." Gu Yiming gently ruffled Jiang Hua's hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Thump thump thump"
The high heels made a crisp sound. After Jiang Hua's figure disappeared from sight, Gu Yiming's gaze turned to Gu Nanqing, his eyes filled with gloom.
Lou's Gu Heng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and kept pounding his chest with his hands.
A look of disgust flashed in Bai Wei's eyes, but then she deliberately flattered him, saying, "Look at her, she's not listening to you now. If she really gets together with that Jiang Hua, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause."
Sure enough, Gu Heng's breathing became even more labored, and he kept panting heavily.
"You...you go and call Gu Yiming here."
Bai Wei smiled smugly and quickly went downstairs to find someone.
Gu Yiming knew that things wouldn't be that simple today. He glanced at the smug Bai Wei, a look of hatred flashing across his face, and then took a long stride and rushed upstairs.
The father and son stood frozen in place. Gu Heng looked at the person in front of him with a mixture of anger and affection, and quietly sighed, "Do you know what you're doing right now?"
"Know!"
Looking at Gu Yiming, whose expression remained unchanged, Gu Heng's suppressed anger resurfaced, and his tone became serious, "You know you're doing this, but you're only damaging your own reputation."
No matter what Gu Heng said, Gu Yiming remained calm and composed.
Upon seeing this, Gu Heng threw the pen on the desk to the ground and cursed, "Gu Yiming, you unfilial son, you're going to make me angry to death!"
The sound was so loud that Bai Wei, sitting in the living room, chuckled smugly and pointed upstairs, "Son, you better watch out. No matter what happens, you must make sure to appease your dad."
Gu Nanqing had a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded seriously.
Lou's voice continued, and Gu Heng kept speaking, but Gu Yiming was like a rubber ball, no matter what he said, he just listened attentively and remained silent.
Finally, Gu Yiming left the room and stood in the second-floor hallway. Looking at Bai Wei's smiling face, he warned, "Bai Wei, I hope you have some sense. If you try to sow discord like this again, you won't have a good ending."
Perhaps Gu Yiming's imposing manner was too strong, Gu Nanqing was also reprimanded. Then, she suddenly came to her senses and retorted, "Gu Yiming, what kind of tone is that? My mother is the mistress of the house."
After saying that, he rushed upstairs, intending to make a move.
However, Gu Yiming suppressed him instead, coldly ordering, "Gu Nanqing, don't think I don't know what you and your mother are up to behind the scenes. I just don't want to overwhelm your interest so quickly. In the end, you're all just clowns anyway."
"Gu Yiming!" Gu Nanqing, who had been suppressed, spoke out angrily, startling Old Master Gu Heng inside the room.
Seeing this, Bai Wei rushed over to separate the two, but accidentally bumped into the ground. She pretended to be injured and cried, "Look at this! No wonder they say a stepmother is not as good as a biological mother. This son I raised is really not my own. He actually hit me."
As she spoke, she even pretended to wipe away a few tears.
The old man's voice inside the house was furious: "Get all of you inside!"
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Wei rushed out, and Gu Nanqing also broke free from his restraints and followed her inside.
Only Gu Yiming leaned against the wall, remaining motionless.
The old man was so angry that he suffered a heart attack. The house was in chaos, with the private doctor and newly arrived treatment equipment being rushed in.
Only in the corner room on the third floor was there complete silence.
When Gu Chengjue rushed back into the house, Jiang Hua was still in the bathroom. She had heard everything that had just happened, but Jiang Hua knew she couldn't go out, otherwise things would get worse.
"You're back!" Jiang Hua, wearing a bathrobe, was somewhat surprised to see Gu Yiming sitting on the bed.
Gu Yiming's eyes were somewhat dull, and he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Seeing Gu Yiming like this, Jiang Hua's eyes filled with sadness. She reached out and took Gu Yiming's hand, speaking softly, "Let's take a shower and go to sleep, okay? Let's not worry about these things."
"good!"
Jiang Hua personally prepared the bathwater for Gu Yiming and even washed his hair. Throughout the entire process, Gu Yiming's eyes remained somewhat dazed.
Even though they were naked, Jiang Hua blushed the most.
Jiang Hua knew that Gu Yiming had a soft heart and always thought about his father, but the repeated hurt had already left his heart riddled with holes.
She reached out and hugged Gu Yiming's waist, whispering gently, "You still have mine."
Finally, Gu Yiming gently embraced Jiang Hua.
By the time the two of them came out of the bathroom after showering, it was already late at night, and the noise outside had gradually subsided.
Jiang Hua took a hairdryer out of the cabinet, looking very serious, her little mouth slightly pouting, "Shall I help you dry your hair? This is my first time."
Before Gu Yiming could refuse, Jiang Hua had already begun to act.
Watching the busy Jiang Hua, smelling her familiar, faint fragrance, he rested his delicate chin on her shoulder and said, "I'm so glad I still have you!"
Jiang Hua smiled contentedly, letting him hold her, putting down the hairdryer in her hand, and said with a smile, "I'm also glad to have you."
The two looked at each other, and a feeling of happiness filled the air.
No matter what happens that night, nothing can stop two hearts from drawing closer.
