Chapter 523: Hurricane "Beep——"
The light sound of the fingerprint lock was particularly harsh in the silent apartment, breaking the stagnant and almost suffocating atmosphere in the kitchen.
When the door was pushed open, the first person to rush in was Gu Feng. His brows were twisted into a knot, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. Even the corners of his mouth, which usually always had a smile on it, were tightly pursed. He didn't give Gu Luo and Luo Shuning behind him any good look at all, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Gu Luo and Luo Shuning followed behind him side by side, their fingertips still tightly clasped together, the warmth of their palms conveying support to each other.
Both of them knew that Gu Feng was just "acting" - if he spoke up for them at this moment, it would only add fuel to the fire and push them directly into the center of Luo Liang's anger. This cold face was actually leaving room for the subsequent confrontation.
Luo Shuning's fingertips turned slightly white, and there was tension in her eyes, but when she saw Gu Luo's calm profile, she quietly calmed her mind, straightened her back, and prepared to face everything.
When they entered the apartment, they saw the situation inside clearly.
Luo Liang sat upright on the main seat, his coat still on, the coldness around his collar still lingering, his hands folded on the edge of the table, his fingertips icy, his eyes as cold as ice.
Luo Shuhe sat on the left side of him, her expression still calm, but one could see that her hands on her knees were quietly clenched, and there was an imperceptible tension in her eyes.
Luo Shuling sat next to Luo Shuhe, her body stretched straight.
Gu Ximan huddled in the corner, clutching the tablecloth tightly with both hands. Her face was still pale, and she would steal a glance at Luo Liang from time to time, full of regret and fear.
The seats on both sides of Luo Liang were empty, as if they were the "judgment seats" specially reserved for them.
"You two, hurry up and get over there!"
Gu Feng suddenly growled, his voice filled with deliberate harshness, but his eyes quickly swept over Gu Luo, giving him a hint of "cooperate quickly".
Luo and Luo Shuning looked at each other, and without hesitation, they walked towards the two empty seats step by step.
The footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet kitchen, and with every step, Gu Ximan's heart tightened a little.
As soon as the two of them sat down next to Luo Liang, the entire living room fell into complete silence. Even the air seemed to freeze. Only the "ticking" sound of the wall clock could be heard, striking everyone's heart one by one, which was particularly harsh.
Gu Ximan felt uncomfortable sitting there, with sweat breaking out on her back, and her stupid words just now replaying in her mind over and over again.
She regretted her reckless words just now. At least she let Luo Liang know that they knew about this matter.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Liang finally spoke. His voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth, and his eyes fell directly on Gu Luo's face:
"Gu Luo, I'll give you a chance to choose."
She paused, each word tinged with ice. "Shu Ning, Shu He, you can only choose one. This is the maximum tolerance I can give you. Don't challenge my bottom line again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the kitchen seemed to drop a few degrees.
Gu Luo did not answer immediately, but remained silent, but his eyes were extremely firm - he knew that Luo Liang could say "choose one of the two" because she was considering the relationship between Gu Feng and the entire family. If it were any other time, with her personality, she would never give him any room for maneuver.
But he could not accept this "concession".
Luo Shuning and Luo Shuhe couldn't accept it either.
In this kind of thing, you either persevere to the end or fail miserably.
What's worse, even if Gu Luo made a choice, Luo Liang would use the excuse that he was unfair to his other daughter and prevent him from getting even one.
At this point, saying a wrong word means losing everything.
Time passed minute by minute, but Gu Luo still didn't give in.
The frost on Luo Liang's face grew heavier, the anger in his eyes almost overflowed, and his hands on the edge of the table were clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white, and veins bulged - not answering was the most clear rejection.
Just as Luo Liang's lips were pressed into a straight line and he was about to launch a full-scale attack, Gu Feng, who was standing behind Gu Luo, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the back of Gu Luo's head with great force and sufficient "anger", and scolded him angrily:
"Your Aunt Luo is talking to you! Are you deaf? Can't you answer properly?"
This happened so suddenly that Luo Liang's mouth, which was about to open, suddenly closed again, and the anger that was about to burst out was interrupted by the hard blow.
She turned to look at Gu Feng, her eyes cold and helpless.
Gu Luo felt the pain in his head, took a deep breath, looked directly into Luo Liang's eyes, and said seriously and sincerely:
"Aunt Luo, I will treat Shu Ning and Shu He well."
Those words were like a bolt from the blue.
Like a spark, it instantly ignited Luo Liang's pent-up anger.
Luo Shuning and Luo Shuhe both sat up straight, using their actions to express their determination.
Gu Feng closed his eyes helplessly and sighed deeply in his heart.
Gu Ximan, who had little experience in dealing with things, suddenly began to breathe rapidly, her heart was in her throat, and she was worried about Gu Luo.
