Capítulo 1163: Chapter 1163: The Big Fish Eats the Small Fish, the Small Fish Eats the Shrimp
Just at this mont, a sound ca from the entrance, followed by a young man pushing a wheelchair into the courtyard, where a middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting, entering hastily.
Although that middle-aged man was sitting, it was clear that he was tall. Despite being middle-aged, he seed gentle as jade, possessing an air of elegance and scholarly temperant. If not for the empty pant leg, he would definitely be a striking figure.
No need to guess; this person must be this old man’s son, Fang Liang.
The mbers of the Gu Family in the courtyard all froze upon seeing Fang Liang.
Who knows if it’s their first ti seeing him, but Gu Qiaoqiao noticed the look on Gu Muran’s face, suggesting he knew Fang Liang, otherwise he wouldn’t have blurted out “Uncle Fang” that day. Clearly, Gu Muran and Fang Liang had so contact.
At this mont, the young man slowly pushed Fang Liang to the center of the courtyard.
When Old Master Fang saw Fang Liang, his expression changed. There was a mix of emotion that was hard to define—love, pain, or reluctance—it was a very complicated look.
Fang Liang began to speak…
His voice, like his appearance, sounded as pleasant as a spring breeze, as if every word was a pearl or jade.
“Old Patriarch, I am Fang Liang. I assu you have heard my na. Although I have never t you, I grew up listening to legends about you.”
A strange light flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes; he didn’t expect Fang Liang to say such things.
Just these words gave Gu Qingfeng a good impression of him.
Gu Qingfeng clenched the armrest of his chair and said with a smile, “Child, I’ve often heard your na recently.”
Then he glanced at Fang Liang’s right leg, and although the Old Patriarch maintained a calm deanor, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Sotis interactions between people don’t require many words; a few sentences or simple gestures can reveal a lot.
For example, with Fang Liang, Gu Qingfeng could see that if it weren’t for his disability, he was certainly no ordinary person.
What a pity, this leg might have limited his many opportunities for developnt.
Whether in business or politics, it’s inconvenient for him.
Moreover, although he appeared gentle as jade, he spoke with no trace of servility.
Presumably, he doesn’t want to accept charity from others either.
This is what made Old Master Fang feel most tornted, his expression was extrely dull, and he clutched tightly, as if this was the only way to give himself strength.
Fang Liang smiled indifferently, then looked at Old Master Fang and warmly said to the few people behind him, “You can leave now. Do not trouble the Gu Family anymore.”
The tattooed youth felt as if he had been granted a great favor upon hearing Fang Liang’s words, standing there like an ant on a hot pan.
Based on his years of experience, the situation between the Gu Family and the Fang Family was different from a few years ago.
The water in the Gu Family has beco deep.
If they continued to get involved, they would surely find themselves in trouble, and the words of this tall young man were definite rather than baseless.
Just being able to pinpoint these two points proved he was no ordinary person.
This was effectively a veiled warning to consider carefully before doing anything against the Gu Family.
He also knew that his own brother, Boss Xu, had very good relations with the Fang family’s nephew, but even if relations were good, if sothing happened in the future, perhaps he wouldn’t even be able to save himself.
In society, it’s a matter of big fish eating small fish, while small fish eat shrimp.
Today, the Gu Family is not the Gu Family of old, backed by the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest, they must be weighed carefully before doing anything in the future.
The tattooed young man didn’t want to wade into these troubled waters.
So upon hearing Fang Liang’s words, he didn’t even look at Old Master Fang, knowing that in the Fang family, Fang Liang’s words held the most weight.
Thus, he waved to a few brothers, and they quickly strode toward the courtyard gate, disappearing from the Gu Family’s courtyard in just a few seconds—their departure was truly swift.
Qin Yize saw these people leave, then turned around silently, moving to stand beside Gu Qiaoqiao, still standing behind the Old Patriarch.
He was soone who always acted with great propriety.
At this mont, Gu Qingfeng was the head of the house, and Gu Qiaoqiao was the successor of the Gu Family; this was essentially family business, and most people in the courtyard were elders.
So he knew what he should and shouldn’t do.
Gu Qingfeng was very satisfied with Qin Yize’s performance.
At the sa ti, he didn’t want to cause trouble for Qin Yize.
From Qin Yize’s words, he could tell that Qin Yize was acquainted with Old Fang’s nephew, and since the Fang Family and the Gu Family were practically enemies, it was best not to involve Qin Yize right now.
He turned to look at Qin Yize, gently saying, “Ah Ze, if you’re tired, you and Qiaoqiao can rest for a while.”
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head. Even though Great Grandfather was in good health now, he was still old, and she couldn’t possibly rest with Qin Yize while this matter remained unresolved—it was a heavy burden on her mind.
She softly said, “Great Grandfather, don’t worry about us, we’re fine.”
anwhile, at this mont, Gu Zhixing, hearing the disturbance in the courtyard, raised his head nervously, and upon seeing Fang Liang, his gaze dimd once again.
It was hard to discern what his expression truly ant at this mont.
Due to Gu Zhixing, whether directly or indirectly, Fang Liang lost a leg; he could no longer walk like a normal person.
Yet because of the Fang family’s retaliation, Gu Zhixing was now living a life neither quite human nor quite ghost.
Therefore, Gu Zhixing’s expression was complex at this mont.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought he probably felt guilty towards Fang Liang, but so many years of counterattacks and revenge had erased any guilt that might have lingered in his heart.
However, because he could no longer resist, he’s beco numb, so things are really beyond clear explanation.
It’s often said that even impartial judges can’t resolve family disputes, and while this isn’t family business, the causes and effects here are utterly unresolvable.
Fang Liang glanced briefly at Gu Zhixing, his gaze quickly sweeping over him, his gentle face showing no emotion, and then he turned to his father to speak, “Dad, let’s go ho.”
Old Master Fang gritted his teeth, slamming a fist onto the chair’s armrest, glaring as he lowly growled, “It’s not that simple. Don’t think just because so Old Patriarch from Yubao Square is backing them, I’ve got nothing to fear. I, Old Fang, am not afraid, not even of death, so why should I fear them?”
