The old woman glanced at Gu Nan with her eyes tilted, clearly showing the attitude of a rogue who was determined to continue to cheat and refused to admit her mistake.
Gu Nan glanced at her indifferently with cold eyes. The stern and imposing aura was not something that a short-sighted old country woman could compare to. She was frightened by the cold and emotionless eyes and shivered. She quickly looked away and dared not meet his gaze.
He spoke in an emotionless voice, neither fast nor slow. Even when facing an old woman's unreasonable behavior, he was as calm as the boss at the top of the company. The innate arrogance that looked down on the world brought a sense of oppression to the few people that they could not resist.
The slender fingers with distinct joints tapped the table rhythmically. It was like tapping on their hearts, and every tap could bring a shudder of fear to these already guilty people.
"That project was given to me by your son at the request of my grandfather."
Gu Nan's characteristically cold voice rang out, and as soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
It was very quiet at the moment, and no one dared to interrupt Gu Nan when he was speaking. This was his unique ability to control the situation as a high-ranking official and the future heir of the Gu family.
"Before that, all safety equipment was up to date, and I still have the purchase records. But after your son took over, all the equipment became old and substandard within a few months. As for where the new equipment went..."
Gu Nan glanced at the middle-aged man with an indifferent look - "I found the transaction records between you and Gao Huai and some account information here. Do you want to see it?"
Just one sentence made the middle-aged man, who was feeling lucky, turn pale. His legs and feet trembled, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Nan. He only looked at his mother with a look for help.
The old woman felt distressed immediately. Of course she felt distressed for her own son, and in her heart, no one was as capable as her son.
The old woman would not allow anyone to say anything bad about her son. Even when facing the powerful Gu Nan, her preference for her son allowed her to charge headlong into some obstacles.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The old woman was the type who would make a fuss if she wasn't given the right reason, so she started crying right away.
"This is outrageous. A whole family bullies us orphans and widows. Gu Nan, you are so heartless, is this how you talk to your uncle? We are your elders. You can't even write two Gu characters in one stroke of the penny. It's just a few tens of millions. What's wrong with you helping us poor relatives when you are so rich? You have the nerve to haggle with us over such a small amount of money. I won't live anymore. Why didn't you take me with you when you died, old man? It would be better than being left here and being bullied by them, wuwuwu..."
Howling, she saw Nuan Nuan - "Your uncle is the son of the Gu family, and the only son of your uncle. You spend so much money on this little loser, why don't you help your uncle? I..."
"Bang!"
"Ah!!" There was a loud noise. When the old woman said Nuannuan should pay for the goods, Gu Nan stood up suddenly, with a gloomy face, he kicked over the stool in front of the old woman. He looked at the old woman with anger.
At that moment, the old woman who was always successful in being a rogue panicked and scared. She looked at Gu Nan in horror, who was like an enraged tiger, and sat down on the ground with her legs shaking in fear.
“You you…”
She uttered the word "you" in a trembling voice, and all other sounds were scared back by the cold and fierce eyes.
"You old loser, why don't you say something to Nuan Nuan again?"
Mother Gu rushed over angrily with a rolling pin in hand. "Nuannuan is our Gu family's treasure! You are also a woman, and you have lived for such a long time, why is your mouth so dirty? Are you happy when I call you a loser, you loser!"
The old woman was so angry that she rolled her eyes. The repeated calls of "old loser" were like poking her lungs.
"You...you..."
"I advise you to think carefully before you speak. If you touch a hair of my mother, I will cut off a finger of my uncle." The cold voice brought the old woman back to her senses.
Gu Nan rolled up his sleeves slowly, like a tiger whose territory had been invaded. Even though he was eyeing a gift that had invaded his territory, he was still elegant and noble, and the fierce aura of the beast king spread out, and every step he took was murderous.
The old woman's son and daughter-in-law were all frightened, especially her son. He looked as if he had seen his fingers being chopped off, his face turned pale, and he covered his fingers and trembled.
Although the two saw their mother fall to the ground in fear, no one dared to step forward to help her. They all hid behind like ostriches. They were also very scared now.
Gu Nan looked at them and sneered.
Mother Gu looked at her son with admiration, and then stared at the group of blood-sucking creatures in front of her with even more momentum.
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. This is my home. You old loser, if you want to throw away your money, go back to your own home!"
She was still brooding over the fact that the old woman had called Nuannuan a loser. She was originally a mother who protected her child, and now Nuannuan was her treasure. Her family held her in their hands for fear of dropping her and held her in their mouths for fear of melting her. But these people were so arrogant and domineering that they came to other people's homes and dared to jump on their treasures. She was determined not to tolerate this.
Combined with all the resentment she had suffered before, she now vented it all.
Being called a loser by everyone, the old woman was so angry and scared that she almost fainted.
Trembling, she looked towards Mr. Gu on the other side, wanting him to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson.
But he was seen taking a sip of tea leisurely, and gently beckoning Nuan Nuan to come over. It was as if he didn't notice the tension here. No... to be more precise, they were being abused unilaterally.
Seeing the poor loser whom he looked down upon happily running to the old man, the old man gently picked her up and covered her ears with a smile, as if blocking out all the worldly filth.
The angry man in front of her was only angry because she said "Nuan Nuan lost a lot of money". They had done more outrageous things before and he had never been angry, but now he was angry just because of one sentence...
As the old woman was thinking, she couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mom!" "Grandma!" "Woo woo woo..."
The young Gu Ling was so frightened that she cried and sat on the ground.
Gu Nan said to the middle-aged man calmly: "Send her to the hospital."
There is absolutely no sense of shame for making an old man faint. For some people, if you tolerate them a little, they will become more and more aggressive, so it is better not to tolerate them.
