The room became lively.
Some passing guests also peeked inside.
One of the middle-aged men who kicked the door snorted coldly, put his hands on his hips, and glared angrily, saying, "Don't you dare shout that, I'm not your uncle!"
The man's name was Ye Jiawen, and the one next to him who looked similar to him was Ye Jiawu. They were brothers and also Gu Jingyan's family members.
The two held important positions in the company, and Gu Jingping also called them uncles, just like Gu Jingyan.
"Gu Jingping, you're really something. Your older brother and your father had a fight, and you immediately want to shit on his head. Do you think we're dead?"
Seeing Gu Jingyan's smug look, Gu Jingping's face darkened.
"Gu Jingyan, you actually went to complain?"
Gu Jingyan snorted coldly; "If you're so capable, you can call your father now and complain. I'll be waiting for you here!"
Gu Jingping fell silent. Gu Zhendong was grooming him to be the family heir, and although there was no explicit rule forbidding him from coming to such places, he ultimately disliked it.
I was so focused on embarrassing Gu Jingyan that I completely forgot he has two uncles behind him.
These two uncles still wield considerable influence in the company. If they were to expose what happened tonight, I would undoubtedly be scolded by my father.
He hesitated for a moment, then changed his expression again.
"Uncle, I was just joking with my older brother. He took it seriously. Please don't tell my father."
Ye Jiawen snorted coldly; "Whether it's a joke or not, you and I both know in our hearts. Tomorrow I will tell my brother-in-law the truth about this matter. I want him to see what kind of person his chosen successor is!"
After a cold laugh, the two pushed Gu Jingyan out the door.
Gu Jingping frowned and remained silent.
Chen Zhe immediately came over to comfort him, saying, "Young Master Gu, it's all my fault. I didn't stop him just now."
Gu Jingping glanced at him, snorted coldly, and then went out. He needed to call his mother to inform her of this matter.
Watching Gu Jingping leave while making a phone call, Chen Zhe smiled and then called Xiao Dingdong over.
"You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Xiao Dingdong shook her head.
...
Cao Xue received a call from her son, Gu Jinping, and heard him recount the whole story.
She frowned, glanced at Gu Zhendong who was already asleep on the bed, then gently opened the door and went out into the study.
"How could you be so foolish? Can't you see that your father still has feelings for him? He was just kicked out of the house, and you go and treat him like this? What do you expect your father to think of you?"
"Mom, I know I was wrong. What's the use of saying all this now? You need to think of a solution quickly, otherwise Ye Jiawen and Ye Jiawu will definitely talk bad about me to Dad tomorrow."
Cao Xue hesitated for a moment, then said, "You were caught red-handed, what can you do? Tomorrow, you should apologize to your father..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingping panicked; "Mom, if I do this, Father will definitely be very disappointed in me..."
He had already lost 100 million yuan, and his father was already somewhat dissatisfied with him. Now he was bullying his older brother, who had just been kicked out of the house. The old man would definitely not give him a good look.
"Why are you in such a hurry? When you apologized, you said this to him..."
...
The next day, in Gu Zhendong's office.
The Ye brothers, Jiawen and Jiawu, stormed in with Gu Jingyan.
I saw Gu Jingping standing to the side with his head down as soon as I came in.
All three of them were stunned for a moment, and before Ye Jiawen could speak, Gu Zhendong spoke first: "Awen, I know why you came here. This is all a misunderstanding."
Ye Jiawen frowned and pointed at Gu Jingping beside him.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by misunderstanding? Last night, this kid went to Linglong Club and kicked my older brother out. He not only verbally humiliated him, but also threatened to break his hands, leaving him completely crippled and bedridden for life. Is that a misunderstanding?"
Ye Jiawu chimed in, “Brother-in-law, we both saw it with our own eyes last night. Gu Jingping not only humiliated his older brother and made him lose face, but he also tried to force himself on the technicians at the club. If we hadn’t arrived just in time, he would be a criminal now! You should fire him from the company.”
“That’s right! Keeping someone who is disrespectful to his elder brother and has no character in the company will only make us a laughing stock.”
“Awen, Awu, you’ve all misunderstood. Jingping has already explained it to me. He did this to persuade his older brother to turn back from his misguided ways. Do you want Jingyan to live a muddled life in that kind of place forever?”
The three of them were stunned when they heard Gu Zhendong's words.
Gu Jingping quickly chimed in, "Yes, Uncle, you and my eldest brother have misunderstood me. My eldest brother has a terrible reputation now. Every time he goes to a gathering, people say a lot of nasty things about him. As his younger brother, I can't bear to see my eldest brother being talked about like that every day, so I want him to get out of those places as soon as possible. Our Gu family is a very cultured family. What kind of talk is it for the eldest son of the Gu family to frequent clubs every day?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhendong nodded in satisfaction.
"Jingping still thinks of his elder brother best!"
The Ye brothers frowned, while Gu Jingyan, sitting in a wheelchair beside them, sneered.
"Then tell me what people outside are saying about me?"
His eyes were fixed on Gu Jingping, who pretended to hesitate and looked at his father. After receiving a supportive look from his father, he feigned reluctance and said, "Brother, the things people are saying outside are too harsh. I'm afraid you'll be hurt if I say them..."
"Hehe, really? But I still want to hear it."
Seeing Gu Jingyan's cold smile and his confrontational manner towards Gu Jingping, Gu Zhendong couldn't hold back any longer; "Enough! Don't you know what kind of person you are? Your brother is doing this entirely for your own good. He's willing to ruin his own reputation to get you out of there. Can't you feel this deep brotherly affection?"
Gu Jingyan was speechless; his father was utterly muddle-headed.
"What kind of person am I? People outside just say I'm a good-for-nothing, a lecherous drunkard, right?"
"Since you already know the answer, why ask again?"
Gu Zhendong shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment in his eldest son.
Years ago, he remembered that his son was not like this, but ever since he broke his leg, his personality has changed drastically. He spends his days in a drunken stupor, frequenting shady places. He has tried many times to bring him back to the right path, but the son seems to ignore him, which is truly heartbreaking.
"Hehe, I am indeed a bad person, but how good is your good son? I paid 10,000 a day to hire that technician before, but he is much better than me, paying 20,000 a day, and even hiring him for two years. He is really awesome."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhendong frowned slightly, clearly indicating that Gu Jingping hadn't mentioned these things to him.
Gu Jingping panicked a little, but still shamelessly said, "Dad, that's not how it is. The reason I did this was for my older brother's sake. He's been obsessed with that woman, like he's possessed. I had no choice but to do this in order to bring him back."
