Chapter 185 The Hidden Sect Boss's Little Assistant (27)
Gu Yanjing's voice came from behind. In an instant, apart from the child's crying, the corridor was as quiet as if no one was there.
"What, not saying anything?" Gu Yanjing looked at the stiff expressions on the faces of the group and couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.
"Greetings, Clan Chief. It's nothing, it's just that my child is being unreasonable. I'll take the child and leave right away." The Third Miss forced a smile at Gu Yanjing.
The woman, who usually can't even open a bottle cap, scooped up her son, tucked him under her arm, grabbed her husband, and was about to run away with a vengeance.
Her son hiccuped as he cried, and with a pitiful look, he reached out to Aunt Zhang, saying, "I don't want to go, I want that auntie, I want that auntie."
Her husband was also from a hermit family, but his status was not high enough to have met Gu Yanjing. However, he was quite ambitious. He frowned and pulled his wife, saying, "She's just a cook. Is the clan leader really that reluctant to part with her?"
His wife is the third daughter of the second branch of the Gu family. Is she really inferior to an adopted son?
So what if he's the clan chief?
When the true patriarch of the Gu family returns, won't this adopted son of the Gu family have to obediently give way to him?
"I'm the auntie who cooks for the clan leader alone, don't even think about it." Aunt Zhang was also very tough. Seeing that Gu Yanjing had returned and had someone to back her up, she spat at the Third Miss's husband and was extremely arrogant.
"How dare you!" The third young lady's husband was scolded by a servant, and his eyes turned red with anger. He reached out to hit Aunt Zhang.
The son, who was being held between the three young ladies, also laughed happily and clapped his hands to cheer on his father.
Unfortunately, this wasn't their own home; this was the Gu family's home.
As soon as Lu Lingjun raised his hand, the Third Miss's husband was immediately thrown away by a surge of spiritual power.
"You're the one being presumptuous! This is the Gu family, not your Han family." Gu Yan's eyes, as sharp as a palette of colors, sent a chill down one's spine.
"You adopted son, how dare you let your dog hit me?" The Han family boy was used to being arrogant and domineering. After being lifted up, he accidentally broke his tailbone and was sitting on the ground unable to get up.
"What? I not only had my dog beat you, but I beat you myself? Lu Lingjun, bring me a whip." Gu Yanjing rolled up his sleeves, moved his wrist, and sneered.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun immediately turned around, randomly picked a spot, and a minute later, retrieved a whip from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing gave the Han family boy a good beating without any hesitation, which frightened the child in the Third Miss's arms so much that he cried uncontrollably until his voice became hoarse.
The third young lady didn't dare to speak the whole time, holding the crying child tightly in her arms, not even daring to offer any words of comfort.
She lived in this house for over twenty years, and spent eight of those years living in this house with Gu Yanjing.
She clearly saw how wicked Gu Yan was in those eight places, so when the Han family came to propose marriage, she agreed without hesitation.
Everyone knows that the old patriarch's death was not natural.
More rumors circulated that the old patriarch wanted to control Gu Yanjing to pave the way for Gu Ziyu, but that failed.
Regardless of the reason, it still happened in the end.
That's a veiled message to everyone that the old patriarch is no match for Gu Yanjing.
Her troublesome father, to put it nicely, was trying to protect the interests of the main branch of the family; to put it bluntly, he wanted to oust Gu Yanjing, get rid of Gu Ziyu, and take over for himself.
