Capítulo 1734: Chapter 1738: The Allure of the Soul
She gave up all her dignity, knelt on the ground, humbly begging for rcy, yet the person standing opposite her was flirting and joking with the person beside him as if she wasn’t there!
Her heart felt like it was being tossed into a frying pan.
She regretted it deeply.
She shouldn’t have been so greedy and conspired with Yue Zhi to seize Yue Mingfeng’s inheritance rights.
If she had stayed content and obedient as before, although she would have remained naless and without status, at least she could have lived a life of peace and happiness, free from worries about food and clothing.
But now…
If her uncle lost his position because of her, the Wu family would skin her alive!
At the thought of such a terrifying possibility, her face turned ashen, and she trembled like a leaf.
Seeing her trembling on her knees, Yue Zhi felt heartache.
Yue Zhi walked over to her side and spoke to Gu Junzhu, “Young Master Gu, if there’s any bla, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have been so foolish to want Xiao Feng to give up his inheritance rights! Actually, I didn’t want the inheritance for Ah Ming; I wanted it for myself!”
With a sorrowful expression, he said bitterly, “I am Xiao Feng’s biological father, yet my father bypassed and handed Yue Group over to Xiao Feng. This made many people look down on and gossip. I was not content and couldn’t bear it, which led to rashly err.”
He sincerely said to Gu Junzhu, “Young Master Gu, no matter what, I am Xiao Lei’s biological father. Young Master Gu, I beg you for the sake of Xiao Lei, spare this ti. I won’t dare again. I swear I will never touch anything from the Yue family again, I only ask you to spare and Runrun, and spare Runrun’s uncle.”
Hearing him ntion Beitang Tingxue, the smile gradually disappeared from Gu Junzhu’s face.
He stood up straight, looked calmly at Yue Zhi, and asked, “Yue Zhi, do you know why Lei Zi joined the army?”
Although his gaze was calm, Yue Zhi felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, his spine involuntarily bent, with a feeling of wanting to kneel on the ground and beg for rcy.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, large drops of sweat slid down his temples, and his voice trembled, “I-I don’t-don’t know…”
“Because he discovered the sordid affair between you and Wu Jiarun, and you warned him that Wu Qisen is an official, and civilians can’t fight officials. If he dared to speak out, you would make his mother and her family lose everything!” Gu Junzhu looked at him, his voice icy cold. “From your words, he learned that being an official carries more power than being wealthy, so he left ho to strive! He wanted to create a bright future to protect his mother, her family, his brother, and sister!”
Beitang Tingxue listened quietly, tears unconsciously welling up in her eyes.
Gu Junzhu looked at Yue Zhi and suddenly chuckled, “I have to say, his initial intention was quite ridiculous, but he has done exceptionally well! To protect his country, he sweated and bled ti and again, completing his tasks brilliantly, while you sched tirelessly against his mother, brother, and sister. All the while, he was on the front lines, prepared to sacrifice his life at any mont, to protect our country!”
Gu Junzhu’s gaze was fixed on Yue Zhi, his voice was firm and powerful, and his words were clear. His eyes were as sharp as ice knives and snow swords, causing Yue Zhi’s skin to tingle with pain.
Yue Zhi’s cold sweat flowed faster, his heart trembled, and his legs shook.
“As Lei Zi’s forr team leader, even though I’ve retired now and can’t fight alongside him, I can protect his family on his behalf!” Gu Junzhu stared at Yue Zhi and slowly said, “As long as I, Gu Junzhu, draw breath, I will never allow my subordinates to shed blood, sweat, and tears! You want to let you go?”
Gu Junzhu sneered contemptuously, lightly spat out two words, “Dream on!”
Yue Zhi swayed, unsteady on his feet, staggered back a few steps.
While Gu Junzhu was speaking, Ye Xingbei watched him intently, unwilling to blink.
The words Gu Junzhu just said made her blood boil, her heart surged, and she was extrely excited.
She couldn’t help but think that in the past, Gu Junzhu must have been extraordinarily good at motivating others with his words.
