"Gu Ningning! Haven't you said enough! It seems your second uncle hasn't raised you well. I don't mind letting you suffer a bit and learn a lesson!"
Gu Qingyan's eyes turned fierce. "I thought you would repent after seeing the video, but I didn't expect you to become even more insane!"
After saying that, he shouted "Uncle Chen" loudly towards the gate.
Uncle Chen strode in and respectfully asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Call the police!" Gu Qingyan said calmly. "Sue Gu Ningning for attempted murder."
"Young Master." Uncle Chen was shocked and suddenly raised his head to make sure he wasn't hearing things because he was old.
"Brother!" Gu Ningning panicked. She had grown up with Gu Qingyan since she was a child and knew his temperament all too well. If he was determined to call the police to arrest her, she would definitely go to jail.
Gu Ningning hurriedly crawled on her knees from the middle of the living room to Gu Qingyan's feet. She paused for a moment because her legs went numb. She hugged Gu Qingyan's thigh tightly, her shoulders trembling, and let out a low sob, "Brother, you can't do this to me!"
"Qingyan." Mu Ziqi hesitated. "If we call the police, Ningning's life will be ruined."
"Why didn't she consider the consequences when she did this!" Gu Qingyan's eyes sharpened. "It's not that I didn't give her a chance, but she wouldn't admit it until she saw the coffin. I couldn't tolerate it." Saying this, she angrily shouted at Uncle Chen, "Uncle Chen, what are you standing there for! Call the police!"
"Brother! I was wrong!" Seeing that Mu Ziqi couldn't persuade him, Gu Ningning grabbed Gu Qingyan's trouser leg and started crying loudly, her whole body convulsing violently. "Brother, I was really wrong!"
But Gu Qingyan remained unresponsive. Gu Ningning raised her head and spoke tremblingly, "Brother, are you really going to be so heartless? I'm your sister!"
Gu Qingyan was seething with anger. He was filled with regret and worry for Zhi Qiu's safety. Gu Ningning was still clinging to his leg, crying and making a scene. He couldn't help but tug at his tie in frustration, completely losing his patience. He yelled at Uncle Chen, who was still standing there, "If you're not going to call the police, you might as well quit. Pack your things and leave!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen panicked and started rummaging through his pocket for his phone.
"Qingyan, why is your Uncle Chen calling the police?" A strong, aged voice rang out at the gate.
Gu Qingyan was startled. This matter must not be known to his grandfather. He was still unwell, and it would be terrible if he found out and fell ill from anger.
Gu Suian quickly stood up and gave Gu Qingyan a wink, signaling him to help Gu Ningning up.
Hearing her grandfather's voice, Gu Ningning seemed to see a lifeline. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards the old man while shouting loudly.
Butler Chen, who was closest to Gu Ningning, quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Second Miss, Master just returned from the hospital. Please don't upset him."
Gu Ningning wouldn't listen to a word and burst into tears, "Grandpa, please save me! They're all going to kill me!"
"Ningning, what kind of nonsense is this! Come here."
Grandpa frowned, sat down at the long table in the living room, straightened his back, and looked stern. "You all come over here too." He nodded to Gu Qingyan and the others.
After everyone was seated, the old man, as the head of the family, spoke up, "What exactly happened? Sui'an, you tell us!"
Although the old man spoke calmly and was not fully recovered, his dignified aura remained undiminished, subtly revealing the innate and high-ranking sense of oppression he possessed.
Seeing that the matter had to be brought up in public, Gu Suian thought for a moment and calmly recounted what had happened, but deliberately avoided mentioning Shen Zhi Qiu's disappearance.
The old man's eyes grew cold, his gaze towards Gu Ningning filled with chilling intent. Gu Ningning dared not look up, but she already sensed danger, which made her scalp tingle. She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, afraid to make a sound.
"Ningning, is it true?" the old man asked softly, his tone unreadable.
Gu Ningning had learned her lesson and quickly admitted her mistake. To make herself cry, she pinched her thigh hard with all her might under the table. The pain brought tears to her eyes instantly. "Grandpa, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please, please don't let my brother call the police to arrest me, okay? Please, Grandpa!"
Seeing his granddaughter tearfully admitting her mistake, the old man couldn't help but soften. He said to Gu Qingyan, "Qingyan, Ningning knows she was wrong. We're all family. What will outsiders think of us if we call the police and make a scene? She is your sister after all. I'll have your second uncle teach her a lesson!"
"My second uncle had a daughter late in life, so I'm afraid he won't be willing to punish Ningning," Gu Qingyan said calmly. Seeing that his grandfather had spoken, he knew he shouldn't bring up the matter of calling the police again.
"So what are your thoughts?" Grandpa knew that Gu Qingyan was angry, and if she didn't vent, there would probably be more trouble.
"I heard that there is a kind of training camp in Nancheng now, which is specially for wealthy families to send their disobedient children there for training. It is usually a month-long military-style management camp where cell phones are not allowed and children have to earn their own meals through their own labor."
For example, you have to get up at five o'clock every morning to run, study at noon, and work in the fields in the afternoon. Only if you perform well can you get food.
I've heard that after a month of this, people's tempers generally improve, they study harder, and even their physical health improves from the work. I think Ningning would be a good fit for this trip.
Looking at Gu Ningning's pale face, Gu Qingyan continued, "I was thinking that as her brother, I also bear responsibility for Ningning's mistakes, so I decided to send her away for two months. I will pay for it myself. I think that with twice the time, her results will definitely be twice as good as others."
Seeing Gu Qingyan's resolute expression, the old man thought for a moment and then agreed. Firstly, Gu Ningning would definitely suffer in such a place, and Gu Qingyan would be able to calm down and wouldn't call the police again; secondly, the child had indeed done something wrong and should be punished. Going here to reform her would be good, lest his spoiled son, who was too soft-hearted to care about Ningning, let it go and cause trouble in the future.
"Uncle Chen, just take the Second Miss there in a bit. You don't need to bring any change of clothes or anything; they have uniforms there. I'll have Huang Lin take care of everything," Gu Qingyan said to Uncle Chen.
"Grandpa!" Gu Ningning's tears kept rolling down her cheeks. "I don't want to go."
"Ningning, listen to me. This is good for you too. Just listen to your brother's arrangements. I'll talk to your father myself." Grandpa made the final decision. Gu Ningning pursed her lips and silently shed tears. She knew that the matter was settled.
"Second Miss, I'll escort you there," Uncle Chen said respectfully as he approached Gu Ningning.
Gu Ningning glared at him resentfully, then reluctantly stood up and walked outside.
