Tang Bao, perched on Chu Yiting's shoulder, blinked her large, bright black eyes, which seemed to sparkle with a mischievous glint.
Then Tangbao nodded her little head, "Yes, yes! Tangbao was scared! Her little heart was pounding!"
The three Chu brothers almost burst out laughing, thinking that their sister was so clever and adorable.
"Yes, we hope that Patriarch Gu can send an apology that satisfies my sister. Otherwise, our Chu family will never let this go!" Chu Yiting nodded in agreement, his tone carrying a strong threat.
Since we can't expose the Gu family's conspiracy, let's make them pay a hefty price.
That way, their trip won't have been in vain!
The Gu family head was cursing under his breath, never expecting the Chu family to be so shameless.
They know the cause of the fire but don't say anything; they're deliberately messing with them!
And he couldn't expose it, which was incredibly frustrating!
The head of the Gu family could only maintain a forced, apologetic smile. "Yes, this time it was our Gu family's fault! We will definitely offer a reward that will satisfy Miss Tangbao!"
"Okay! Thank you very much, Mr. Gu! We'll be going now!"
Under the resentful and frustrated gaze of the Gu family head, Chu Yiting and the others left the Gu family.
Chu Yiting and the others left, and the other guests continued to leave one after another.
After the Gu family patriarch and his entourage saw off all the guests, the firefighters arrived shortly afterward.
However, because the fire had already been extinguished, and given the power and influence of the Gu family, the firefighters were not allowed to enter the Gu family's residence.
Of course, Chu Yifan's attempt to cause trouble for the Gu family was thus abandoned.
However, Chu Yifan was aware of this, and they didn't pay much attention to what happened afterward.
After the matter was resolved, the Gu family members sat in the messy living room. The Gu family's servants quickly cleaned up, not daring to approach the place where the Gu family head and his family were.
With her hair slightly disheveled and having lost her usual dignified and elegant demeanor, Madam Gu angrily pointed at Lin Xinyi's nose and yelled, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, the Gu family wouldn't have been disgraced today!"
First, the Chu family accused Lin Xinyi of seducing Chu Yiting in front of so many people. Where does that leave his son? His son has completely lost face!
And then, this engagement party turned into a fire!
The Gu family had hosted countless banquets without any problems, but today a fire broke out. Mrs. Gu felt that Lin Xinyi was the culprit, and that the fire was caused by her.
"You're a jinx! A jinx who brings disaster to our Gu family!"
In Madam Gu's mind, Lin Xinyi was a disaster. If Lin Xinyi continued to stay in the Gu family, she would probably ruin the entire family.
Lin Xinyi lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.
Today, her engagement party was supposed to go smoothly, but a fire broke out, ruining the entire event.
The engagement party suddenly ran into problems; these are all family matters, so how can you blame her?
She dared not say such things, much less could she, because if she did, she would never become the future young mistress of the Gu family.
The head of the Gu family was already having a headache over today's events, and now hearing Madam Gu making a fuss over there, he felt even more troubled and roared angrily.
"Enough!"
Sure enough, the Gu family head's reprimand was effective, and Madam Gu stopped her frantic accusations and curses.
Seeing Lin Xinyi crying and sobbing, Gu Ziming felt a headache and trouble.
Even if he was very unwilling, he still had to show his attitude.
Gu Ziming pulled Lin Xinyi to sit on the sofa and gently comforted her, "It's okay, this has nothing to do with you!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Lin Xinyi cried, tears streaming down her face, looking aggrieved.
Lin Xinyi wisely took all the blame upon herself, a typical tactic of a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative woman.
Moreover, Madam Gu just blamed her, putting all the responsibility on her!
In any case, it's not wrong to take all the blame upon yourself, as this will earn you the sympathy of both the Gu family head and Gu Ziming.
As expected, the Gu family head and Gu Ziming, who knew the reason, would not place the blame on Lin Xinyi.
This whole thing happened because of the Chu family, especially that little bastard from the Chu family.
If it weren't for Tang Bao, how could their luck-changing array have been broken? And how could today's engagement banquet have been ruined? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lin Xinyi.
Although at one point Tang Bao clashed with Lin Xinyi, causing Gu Jia to be ridiculed by everyone.
Although the Gu family head was troubled by today's events, he still comforted Lin Xinyi, "It's alright, don't blame yourself. It just means that our own safety awareness was inadequate!"
Gu Ziming nodded and smiled as he comforted Lin Xinyi, "Yes, don't blame yourself. We'll handle this. Today is just the engagement banquet. I'll give you a grand wedding later!"
Seeing her husband and son defending her so fiercely, Madam Gu was furious and gasped for breath.
Even now, they still know how to protect Lin Xinyi, an outsider!
"You've all gone mad! You're all insane!" Madam Gu glared fiercely at Lin Xinyi. "The Gu family will be ruined by this woman sooner or later!"
After saying that, Madam Gu turned and left angrily.
The Gu family head and Gu Ziming both looked very unhappy, but they did not stop Madam Gu from leaving.
Lin Xinyi felt even more wronged and lowered her head to sob again.
The head of the Gu family waved his hand and said with concern, "Alright! Xinyi, you must be tired today. Go upstairs and rest!"
"Okay! I'll go up first!"
Lin Xinyi nodded obediently, then went upstairs and entered Gu Ziming's room.
The Gu family head and Gu Ziming exchanged a glance, then silently went upstairs to the study together.
After closing the study door, the Gu family head sat down in a chair and looked at Gu Ziming.
"You've found all the talismans?"
“The rest have been found. The other talismans should have been taken by that brat from the Chu family!” Gu Ziming nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his tone filled with intense anger.
He had looked at all those places, and there were signs that they had been dug up. It was obvious that Tang Bao and his group had done it.
As expected, the luck-changing formation has been broken!
Fortunately, his father came up with a good idea: he sent all the guests away first, not giving the Chu family any chance.
I wonder how much luck he absorbed. If he absorbed none, I really want to kill that little bitch Tang Bao!
Today is not only his engagement party, but also a perfect opportunity for him to absorb good fortune!
Who knows when I'll get that incredible luck again!
