The old house of the Gu family.
Old Master Gu Zhenting stomped his cane, and the hard floor cracked into several tiny cracks.
In the huge inner hall, all the servants held their breath and lowered their heads, not daring to bring bad luck upon themselves at this time.
At the family gathering last night, Mr. Gu threatened Gu Zheng in front of the whole family and ordered him to send his adopted daughter away.
As a result, someone came to report to him early this morning that Gu Mingxuan was locked up in the arena and kept in the same room with lions because he bullied his adopted daughter last night!
Gu Zhenting was suddenly furious, and his bright eyes were bloodshot with anger.
"He's really grown wings, he's capable of anything. He's telling me that if you dare to touch that bastard, he'll even abandon his own son!"
"Oh, I took his face into consideration and gave him a heads-up, but he locked my darling in that place without a word."
"Good, very good! The good son that Gu Shengqi and his wife have spoiled has even known to threaten his grandfather!"
He became even more furious when he thought of his son, Gu Shengqi, Gu Zheng's father, who had become the hands-off boss of the family in his fifties and traveled overseas with his wife Shiqin.
In the huge Gu family, only his branch controls the powerful family business, and his branch only has one son, Gu Shengqi.
Logically speaking, Gu Shengqi should be the head of the Gu family today. However, he passed the family business to his eldest son Gu Zheng early on and lived a carefree life.
And this old man, who is almost eighty years old, still has to worry about his grandchildren's troubles!
Because he always felt that although Gu Zheng was capable, he had just turned 30 after all. At such a young age, it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in his work.
If a wealthy family like theirs fails to act with caution, it will easily become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
"They are all useless things!" The old man glanced at Gu Zheng's younger brother Gu Rong and became even more angry.
"Grandpa, this is all my eldest brother's family affairs. Why are you looking at me?" Gu Rong crossed his legs, looking nonchalant.
The old man picked up his cane and was about to hit someone, but Gu Rong dodged it nimbly.
He said angrily, "You are just like your father, Gu Shengqi. You have no ambition and only know how to eat, drink and have fun. If you were half as good as your brother, I would have a way to check his power and prevent him from doing things without considering the consequences and doing whatever he wants!"
"Grandpa, you think too simply. No one can stop my brother from doing anything. It has nothing to do with whether I'm good or not. Go find whoever makes you angry. It's not a big deal to take it out on me."
"You!" Mr. Gu was so angry that he started to gasp for breath.
Seeing this, Gu Rong's wife Zheng Yingfei hurried forward to pat the old man on the back.
"Grandpa, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health. Big brother just wanted to have both a son and a daughter. Now that big brother and sister-in-law don't live under the same roof, it's impossible to expect a second child. Now that big brother has adopted a daughter, there's nothing wrong with that."
After Zheng Yingfei finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Zheng's wife Jiang Yinrong intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Yinrong seemed to be accustomed to the other party's sarcasm. She drank the tea in her hand without responding.
Gu Zhenting looked at his granddaughter-in-law Jiang Yinrong and couldn't help sighing.
"Gu Zheng is such a stubborn kid. After all these years, he still holds a grudge against what happened back then. Yinrong, don't worry, you are our Zheng'er's only wife. No matter how much he misbehaves, he will never dare to divorce you."
Zheng Yingfei quickly agreed, "Yes, sister-in-law, the Gu and Jiang families are old friends. Both are well-known and wealthy families. No matter how foolish big brother is, he will never give that woman and her daughter any status. Look, even if he takes that country girl back, won't he still have to keep her by his side as an adopted daughter?"
Jiang Yinrong didn't like to argue with Zheng Yingfei, but the other party repeatedly poked her sore spots, which really made her feel suffocated.
She stopped drinking her tea and said slowly, "It seems that if a woman wants to keep a family, she must also consider the strength of her family. With a background like yours, it's very unsafe. You never know if Rong'er will have a child with a lady from a prominent family, and then you'll have to step down and let her take over."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Yingfei's face suddenly turned ugly.
