"..."
Jiang Fuqiu admitted that she wasn't dissatisfied with him, but rather somewhat resentful.
When I said we should break up in a fit of pique, Gu Rongqi agreed very decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing his current attitude, Jiang Fuqiu suddenly felt very bored. "Forget it, it's pointless."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching Jiang Fuqiu leave, Gu Rongqi turned his gaze to Gu Liji.
He was secretly typing with someone, no one knew who.
Noticing Gu Rongqi's gaze, Gu Liji turned around and looked at him guiltily.
Gu Rongqi's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, but he ultimately remained silent.
After the banquet ended, only Qianzhi, Gulubo, Guliji, and Gurongqi remained in the private room.
Gu Rongqi handed his gift to Gu Lubo and said again, "Dad, happy birthday."
“Hmm,” Gu Lubo lifted his eyelids to look at the gifts Gu Rongqi had placed on the table, “Why are there two?”
"One of them was a gift from Qicai."
As soon as Gu Rongqi finished speaking, the temperature in the air dropped several degrees.
Gu Liji couldn't help but sit up straighter.
Guruber, who had been leaning back in his chair, straightened up. He opened the gift box and looked inside; it contained a box of yellowish-white honey.
He frowned and casually placed the honey jar on the table.
A heavy thud echoed in the room, like the tolling of a grandfather clock at midnight.
Gu Lubo sat back in his chair, leaned back, closed his eyes, and placed his hands on his abdomen. "It's been so long, it's time to make a scene."
Gu Rongqi lowered his eyelids, looking somewhat submissive. After a moment of silence, he raised his head, his gaze sharp. "After all this time, are you still deceiving yourself?"
"Rongqi, it's your dad's birthday today," Qianzhi reminded him from the side.
"Hmm." Gu Rongqi took out his phone and checked the time. "It's already past 12 o'clock, so let's not count it."
"..." Qianzhi was speechless at Gu Rongqi's reply. He had never spoken to them in this tone before.
Seeing the father and son locked in a fierce confrontation, Qianzhi felt a headache coming on.
In the past, when wealthy women talked about their children, they mostly complained. Gu Rongqi had never caused her any trouble since he was a child, so she had nothing to talk about with them.
Whenever Gu Rongqi is mentioned, the most talked-about thing is his good qualities. Everyone envies her for having such a good son as Gu Rongqi.
Although she said no, she was still very proud and pleased inside.
My former arrogance has completely turned into shame.
A long silence fell over the air as the two sides remained locked in a stalemate.
Gu Rongqi glanced at them, but he had no interest in dealing with them. He directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Whether you accept it or not, I will only marry her in this lifetime. That's a done deal."
"What do you mean?" Gu Lubo's eyes suddenly opened, his aura like the biting cold wind on a high mountain, carrying frost, rushing towards Gu Rongqi.
"If you haven't given up on my return, you might as well give up now. While you're still young, you can start looking for a new successor. Or you could choose to groom Liji." Gu Rongqi remained unaffected, calmly finishing what he wanted to say.
Gu Liji had been sitting in his seat for a long time, curled up in a ball, without uttering a sound.
He never expected that even sitting here so obediently, a mountain could press down on him for no reason.
He's just a lazy rich kid; expecting him to manage Ouqi is giving his brother way too much credit.
But in the current atmosphere, he dared not speak up, lest he get himself into trouble.
The frost in Grubber's eyes had been replaced by raging fire. His lips were pursed white, and his violently heaving chest spoke volumes about his anger.
Without saying a word, he picked up something from the table and threw it at Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi watched as a dark green shadow hurtled towards his face, and he calmly dodged it to the side.
With a loud bang, the bag slammed against the wall behind him, ruptured, and its contents scattered to the ground.
Gu Rongqi glanced indifferently at the tea leaves scattered on the ground, his expression blank.
Only when he saw Grubber's hand on the yellow beehive did his eyes turn cold. He quickly walked up to Grubber and pressed down on his hand, which was about to throw it away.
The two faced each other across the table, their faces calm and expressionless, but the veins on their hands, pressed against the honey jar, were bulging, a silent contest of strength between them.
Gu Liji and Qian Zhi were startled by the sudden turn of events.
The two stood up at the same time. Qianzhi persuaded Gulubo, while Guliji persuaded Gurongqi.
But Gu Rongqi remained unmoved, his gaze fixed firmly on Gu Lubo before him. "I thought that in the past six months, you should have understood my determination."
At first, Gu Lubo and Qianzhi thought that Gu Rongqi was just acting on a whim, but after more than half a year, they gradually realized that Gu Rongqi was serious.
But while they may understand, it's impossible to get them to agree.
They also knew that neither they nor Gu Rongqi could convince the other.
The reason they remain still is simply because they firmly believe that Gu Rongqi and that girl will eventually separate due to differences in time, status, position, and mindset.
Gu Rongqi's so-called love at this moment could not withstand the gap between the two worlds.
But now... Gu Rongqi's return is definitely not just about arguing with them.
Both Chihiro and Grubb could see this in their hearts.
Qianzhi's gaze was calm and steady, and his words were very rational: "What do you want to say by coming back to say all this now? Or what do you want to do?"
