Brother Du's words instantly ignited the anger of Battalion Commander Du and his wife.
The Du family, which was living peacefully together, was ruined because their daughter wanted to be a mistress!
"It's all your fault for spoiling her all the time, making her so unruly. What do you think the Du family is going to do now?" Battalion Commander Du vented his anger on the mother and daughter. Being arrogant is fun for a moment, but begging for mercy will lead to disaster. He didn't think Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen would let the Du family off easily.
Given their ruthless approach to the Jian family, the Du family is probably doomed...
The more she used to dote on her daughter, the more she complained about her now. She was so angry that she slapped her on the spot, "It's all your fault! You insisted on fighting with Gu Wanwan for a man. You have disappointed your father and me so much. Do you want to ruin the Du family before you are satisfied?"
“You get out of here and apologize to the Gu siblings, admit your mistakes, kneel down and kowtow to beg for their forgiveness. You're the one who caused this, so you have to clean it up.”
"I did nothing wrong, I won't go..." Du Lixue still had her pride. To make her kowtow to Gu Wanwan was worse than death. "Gu Wanwan is just relying on her family background to be fearless. Now two of the five upper families have fallen, while our five lower families are at their peak and are on good terms with Gu Yarou. I don't think the five upper families have anything to be afraid of!"
Mrs. Du was almost persuaded, realizing that her daughter's words made sense. "Old Du..."
"A woman's view." Battalion Commander Du frowned and rebuked. Although two of the five upper families had fallen, their foundations were still very deep. The five lower families had tried to take advantage of the situation to bring down the other three families. Who would have thought that such a capable brother and sister from the Gu family would emerge in the middle of the way? The setbacks did not defeat them, but instead made them stronger. It is said that the Gu siblings and Fu Jingchen even joined forces to wipe out a major enemy spy den in Yunnan Province.
Now, Gu Jia is even stronger than before.
"The Gu family has been exonerated, so what about the Shen family? The two families that fell from grace have returned. Don't you understand what that means? Two of the top five families have fallen, and the bottom five families couldn't even bring down the other three. It's even less likely they will in the future. If our family is so powerful, why hasn't Elder Zhao been able to save his own daughter even after using his connections? Because of your momentary lapse, our Du family is about to follow in the footsteps of the Zhao family!"
Although he spoke very softly, Gu Wanwan still heard him. "Tsk, Battalion Commander Du does have some insight. The Jian family was brought down by me and Brother Chen. I won't let any of those who framed my family get away with it."
"If he dares to cause my grandparents to be sent to the countryside, I'll send him to eat peanuts. Don't thank me, it's my duty!"
Gu Peichuan's words carried an invisible pressure: "The return of the Gu family siblings means that the capital is about to change. Tremble, you scum of the lower five aristocratic families!"
Fu Jingchen publicly declared his stance, while also showing off his relationship, saying, "My wife is the boss, and I follow her lead. In my heart, Wanwan is more important than my parents and elders. I would disregard all family for her."
Battalion Commander Du felt a chill run down his spine and roared at Du Lixue, "You wretched girl, apologize to him now! If you don't realize your mistake, I'll kick you out of the house!"
Although Brother Du dotes on his sister, when it comes to the future of the Du family, even his own sister is someone he can sacrifice. "Dad, perhaps letting Lixue marry Pei Guangzong is the only way to appease the anger of the Gu family and Commander Fu. Anyway, Lixue's reputation is ruined, and she was engaged to Pei Guangzong before. Why not grant them their wish? Otherwise, with Lixue's reputation, who in Beijing would dare to marry her?"
