The old patriarch said in a deep voice, "A gentleman’s word cannot be taken back even by a team of four horses."
"Rest assured, I, Old Fang, keep my word."
Then, Old Master Fang told the young man pushing Fang Liang, "Let’s go, we’re going ho."
The two young n behind him followed suit imdiately, and the group headed towards the door.
Their movents were swift, with no hesitation at all.
But evidently, Old Man Fang had achieved so sort of goal.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew that this old man was not an easy character either.
Yet, today, she could only let him have his mont of triumph.
And just at this mont, Gu Zhixing, who had remained unnoticed, slowly stood up.
With his hands hanging by his sides and his back hunched, Gu Qiaoqiao only then realized that he wasn’t short. Maybe it was because he had been hunched over for years, making him look like an old man.
He opened his mouth, and in a hoarse voice that echoed in the courtyard corner, said, "Fang Liang, I’m sorry."
Perhaps for the first ti, the two interacted in this way, perhaps it was the first ti Gu Zhixing had said these words in front of Fang Liang.
Gu Qiaoqiao noticed that when Gu Zhixing uttered these words, Fang Liang’s body stiffened, his dark eyes deepened even further, and his expression beca indistinct and hard to read.
His long fingers gripped the wheelchair’s armrests tightly.
His body was upright, yet he didn’t turn back.
Gu Zhixing continued, speaking hesitantly, "Ah Liang, can you forgive ? I’ve known my mistake for a long ti."
Saying this, a choke slipped into Gu Zhixing’s voice, also carrying endless remorse.
He knew he couldn’t bla everything on that era; his own personality and way of thinking were flawed; his ability to discern right from wrong was far too low.
It took him decades to understand this truth, but it was too late.
Fang Liang did not turn back, his wheelchair now stopped at the Gu family’s doorway, forcing the young man pushing him to halt his steps.
At this mont, the courtyard of the Gu family was silent, as if everyone was waiting for his response.
Fang Liang took a deep breath, his face suddenly becoming calm, and his voice was calm as well, speaking faintly, "I will never forgive you."
The voice was not loud, but everyone in the courtyard heard it clearly, including Gu Zhixing, who then seed to stumble slightly, a few breaths later, slid softly down along the wall, sitting on the ground, as if those few words had used up all his strength.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew this was because today Gu Qingfeng, the old patriarch, backed him up, so he dared to act like this. It seed he gathered a lot of courage, but didn’t expect to hear such a response.
Although it was within expectations as well.
Gu Qiaoqiao had no standing to bla Fang Liang for not being broad-minded.
If he had simply been relegated like Gu Qingfeng and returned unscathed, maybe he would forgive him, but the most heartbreaking thing is his body suffered because of this issue.
Now there is a lot of promotion and examples about this aspect, but who would wish to have just one leg?
Especially for soone who had once been so outstanding, it’s the most unbearable.
Every ti he looks at his leg, the past reerges, how could he possibly forget?
This is the indelible ironclad proof left by those years.
All brought to him by his dear brothers.
Therefore, as it stands, unless a miracle occurs allowing Fang Liang’s severed limb to be reborn, he truly would never forgive Gu Zhixing.
Old Master Fang turned back and gave Gu Zhixing a fierce glare, then motioned for his grandson to push his father out of the Gu family’s gate.
The onlookers had not dispersed yet, the old master glaring at the people around, and though everyone knew what was going on, no one dared et Old Master Fang’s gaze, all retreating further back.
Then the old master followed his son towards the entrance of the alley, stopping at the corner of the lane, lowering his voice to ask Fang Liang, "Liang, you ntioned Laosi earlier; what’s going on?"
Fang Liang considered for a mont and said gently, "In the courtyard, there was a young man, the tallest one, quite handso, standing behind the old patriarch, did you see him?"
The tallest one, the most good-looking?
He was the one threatening with the future of the Fang family’s n.
The old master nodded, "Yes, I know, he was threatening and intimidating just now."
"How did he threaten and intimidate you?" Fang Liang couldn’t help but frown and ask.
As far as he knew, this wasn’t a person who liked to talk tough.
The old master thought for a mont, then recounted to his son what Qin Yize had said to him.
Upon hearing this, Fang Liang smiled helplessly, softly said to his father, "Dad, that wasn’t a threat, it was a warning, warning you not to do sothing irreparable in a mont of anger, affecting Laosi’s future."
"What does this have to do with Laosi?" The old master was confused.
"Laosi just called, he didn’t explain their exact relationship. But in terms of rank, he’s currently above Laosi, and ntioning Boss Xu’s na so casually suggests he knows those people you brought with you well. If sothing were indeed done to the Gu family, can you say it wouldn’t affect Laosi?"
Old Master Fang suddenly understood.
No wonder that young man appeared so imposing, he turned out to be also one of them with Laosi.
At this mont, Old Master Fang felt a cold sweat on his back, grateful he hadn’t done anything foolish earlier, if he had co in charging and smashing like before, it would definitely have affected Laosi.
Because Laosi and Boss Xu are good friends, grown up together.
Boss Xu stepped in for Laosi’s sake.
So, if sothing happened, that young man would definitely talk to Laosi about it.
He turned to look in the direction of the Gu family, and said with hate, "Consider them lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let it stand with them."
Fang Liang patted his father’s hand comfortingly, speaking softly, "Dad, you’re not young either, let go of the hate, just consider that we never knew this family."
After a long while, Old Master Fang reluctantly nodded before disappearing around the corner of the alleyway with the group.
The gate of the Gu family also closed.
The crowd watching the commotion should head ho for dinner by now.
At this mont, only mbers of the Gu family were left in the courtyard.
After helping Gu Qingfeng sit down, Gu Qiaoqiao glanced with a bit of surprise at Xiao Wen, who had remained silent and had an off expression on the other side.
This young miss, what’s co over her today?
How could she be so quiet?
This is so unlike her usual self.
To say she was scared, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t believe it.
