Chapter 38 Shock

In the banquet hall, Gu Xuan and others saw Chu Yiyi leaving and planned to leave as well.

Suddenly, a reporter's voice came from the audience: "At the beginning of the press conference, you swore that what you said was true, that you did not harm Chu Yiyi, but Chu Yiyi has been harming you and targeting you. If you lie, kneel down and slap your face."

"Now that it's proven that you've all lied, shouldn't you fulfill your oath?"

Other reporters echoed:

"I almost forgot, but luckily someone remembered."

"Fan quickly, don't waste everyone's time!"

"Your character is already so bad, you don't want to add another label of being untrustworthy, do you?"

People on stage: "..."

Some people originally wanted to cheat, but the reporters blocked their escape routes, so they couldn't cheat even if they wanted to.

Gu Xuan was already kneeling on the ground, and he simply raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Ten slaps, very hard, my face was swollen.

Seeing this, the others could only kneel down in shame and slap themselves in the face.

After they finished slapping each other, the director said in a hypocritical manner: "Oh, it was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Well, this press conference is over, everyone go home!"

The director asked the staff to take their cell phones and give them all to the actors, and also gave each of them a power bank.

Gu Xuan stood up from the ground and walked outside in a daze.

The reporters in the audience gathered around them and wanted to interview them.

Although their popularity is not as high as Chu Yiyi, they are now hot topics and can still attract a lot of traffic.

The five of them were surrounded.

Even when they didn't answer questions, reporters still surrounded them.

Finally, the director asked the staff to help clear the way for them to leave the hotel.

Gu Xuan walked quickly in front, and Gu Mingzhu trotted behind.

"Third brother, please wait for me. You said you would protect me. How could you leave me alone..." Gu Mingzhu asked in a crying voice.

When Gu Xuan heard her words, his face became even uglier and his steps became faster.

She almost killed him, how could she have the nerve to ask him to protect her?

There are many cars parked on the roadside outside the hotel.

After Gu Xuan walked out, a commercial vehicle drove up to him and stopped.

The car door opened, revealing the figures of the eldest and second brothers in the car.

Gu Qing said, "Third brother, get in the car."

Gu Xuan got into the car quickly.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhu also ran over. She also wanted to get in the car, but was kicked out by Gu Xuan.

"Get out of here, you vicious woman. Stop following me and don't come near me in the future!" Gu Xuan shouted angrily.

Gu Mingzhu was kicked and fell to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She said heartbrokenly, "Third brother, I am your beloved sister for twenty years. We have been together for twenty years. Are you going to disown me just because of such a small matter?"

Gu Xuan was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

He almost lost his life, is this still a small matter?

"Third brother, calm down. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." Gu Qing patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Then, he looked at Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the ground, "You should come up too. Mom and Dad are still waiting at home."

Gu Mingzhu cried with joy, immediately got up and got into the car.

Gu Xuan wanted to stop him, but was held firmly by Gu Qing, "Third brother, stop making trouble."

Gu Xuan said angrily: "Second brother, didn't you watch the live broadcast? Don't you know what she has done in the past seven days?"

Gu Qing said, "I saw it."

Gu Xuan yelled, "Since you've seen it, you should already know that she wants me dead, right? Why did you let her get in the car and go home with us?"

"I have always treated her as my own sister and treated her better than anyone else, but she treats me like this. She is an ungrateful person. Why should I let her go back?"

Gu Mingzhu burst into tears upon hearing this, and explained aggrievedly: "Third brother, you misunderstood me..."

"Shut up! There's not a single word of truth coming out of your mouth. I don't want to hear your explanation. Get out of the car now!" Gu Xuan interrupted Gu Mingzhu angrily.

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip and looked at Gu Yan and Gu Qing with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, second brother, you don't believe me either, are you going to chase me away too?"

Gu Yan said, "Stop arguing and talk about it when you get home. Your parents asked us to take you both home."

Gu Xuan wants to speak.

Gu Yan stopped him: "Third brother, calm down and don't say anything. Mom and Dad also watched the live broadcast. They also know what happened in the forest. Let's talk about it after we go home and see Mom and Dad."

Gu Xuan gritted his teeth and finally said nothing.

Gu Mingzhu was very confused.

Her parents also watched the live broadcast, how is she going to get away with it?

There was no conversation along the way. Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Gu's villa.

The three Gu brothers and Gu Mingzhu entered the villa together.

Gu Jianguo and Li Yu were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and they looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

When Gu Mingzhu saw them, he knelt down with a plop.

She cried and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I did something wrong in the forest and hurt my third brother. Please forgive me!"

“Bang!”

Li Yu slapped her hard on the face, his whole body shaking with anger, his voice trembling, "We ignored our own flesh and blood for you, and this is how you repay us?"

"Your third brother was the best to you out of all the people, but you actually treated him like a slave. You ignored him when he was sick, and even when he was in danger, you stopped others from saving him and wanted him to die!"

"Don't you have any heart? How could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of Xuan'er? Are you worthy of us?"

"You are such an ungrateful bastard. We have loved you for so many years in vain!"

As Li Yu spoke, tears of anger fell from his eyes.

She raised her hand and wanted to continue taking care of Mingzhu.

But before she could raise her hand, Gu Jianguo grabbed her wrist fiercely and angrily shouted, "That's enough! Stop it!"

"Can you calm down a bit and stop acting like a shrew?"

Li Yu said angrily: "Our son was almost killed by this ungrateful person. I just wanted to seek justice for our son. What did I do wrong?"

"Are you going to let our son be bullied in vain?!"

Gu Jianguo said with a sullen face, "I've said it before, Mingzhu is mentally disturbed because of the stimulation. Her personality is so different from usual, which is why she did some extreme actions."

"Mingzhu's mistake was unintentional. She was in great pain. Look how sad and regretful she was crying. She already knew she was wrong and has apologized. Don't hold on to it."

Li Yu looked at Gu Jianguo in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about? She almost killed our son and tried to murder our biological daughter, and you still protect her?!"

Gu Jianguo frowned and scolded unhappily: "Don't say such harsh words. The one who caused Xuan'er to be in danger and almost die was Chu Yiyi, not Mingzhu!"

"Even if Mingzhu really did deliberately stop others from rescuing Xuan'er, it's not her who harmed Xuan'er. The culprit is Chu Yiyi!"

"Think before you speak, don't be swayed by online public opinion. We need to be able to think independently!"

"You believe what others say about Mingzhu being hypocritical and vicious? They have never met Mingzhu, what do they know? We have lived with Mingzhu for twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person Mingzhu is?"

Li Yu's face turned blue and red.

Gu Mingzhu quickly said, "My father still understands me best."

"Mom, just like Dad said, I was so wronged and upset at the time that my mind was in a daze. I can't remember what I did in the forest. I didn't really want to do many things. I was mentally ill and couldn't control my own behavior and thoughts. That's why I did wrong things and said things I shouldn't have said..."

"However, although those things were not my conscious decision, I did hurt my third brother after all. I am willing to accept the punishment. As long as you forgive me, I will do anything!"

As she spoke, she began to cry again, crying heartbreakingly, her face full of regret.

It looked as if she was really innocent.

Gu Xuan said angrily: "Dad, don't make excuses for her. She is very sober and not mentally ill at all. She is just bad, just like her nanny, a born bitch. She is not even as good as Chu Yiyi's toe!"

“Bang!”

Gu Jianguo stood up, slapped Gu Xuan hard, and scolded: "Mingzhu is your sister, how can you say that about her? Have you forgotten that you said before that no matter what happens, you will always protect and love Mingzhu?"

Gu Xuan covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief, "She wants me to die, and you still want me to love her?"

Gu Jianguo said as a matter of course: "A man should keep his word. Since you said that you will love her no matter what happens, you can't care about what she did to you."

"Besides, I have already said that Mingzhu was stimulated and became mentally ill, so she did the wrong thing. She has a good heart."

Gu Xuan was so angry that he was speechless.

He turned around and went upstairs angrily, not wanting to stay here and suffer the anger anymore.

Gu Yan and Gu Qing said at the same time: "I will go and comfort my third brother."

Li Yu snorted coldly and followed him upstairs.

Only Gu Jianguo and Gu Mingzhu were left in the living room.

Gu Jianguo reached out and helped Gu Mingzhu up, wiping her tears distressedly, "Don't cry, I won't let them chase you away."

"Wuwuwu, Dad." Gu Mingzhu threw herself into Gu Jianguo's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried in grievance, "My image is completely ruined, and my reputation has become bad. What should I do in the future?"

Gu Jianguo said: "Don't be afraid. If you can't save your reputation, I will support you in the future."

Gu Mingzhu sobbed in grievance.

Gu Jianguo patted her on the back and said gloomily, "Come to the study with me and tell me what has happened to you."

Gu Mingzhu choked up and nodded.

The two went to the study.

Gu Jianguo closed the door of the study.

The heavy door blocked out the filth inside.
