Old Master Gu coldly huffed: "Ziqi, continue speaking."
Gu Ziqi certainly knew that Grandpa was biased in her favor.
She glanced at Xia Yinian, subdued the arrogant air at the bottom of her eyes, and when looking at Grandpa, all that remained was the pitiful image of being bullied.
"The maids at ho are slacking off, of course I can’t let that pass, so I reprimanded her a bit. Who knew, Xia Yinian actually insulted ."
Xia Yinian couldn’t be bothered to speak again, in the current situation, it simply wasn’t her turn to speak.
Because even if she did, Old Master Gu wouldn’t believe her.
"What did she insult you with?" Old Master Gu flared up in anger once more.
Gu Ziqi said: "She said, if soone is slacking, they’re slacking, it’s none of my business. She ntioned our family has so many maids, it wouldn’t matter if one less person did the work, right?"
"To make a mistake and still dare to be arrogant?" Old Master Gu’s palm clenched tightly, his wrathful gaze fixed on Xia Yinian.
"You haven’t even married into our Gu Family, yet you start to disrupt our family’s rules. If you really do marry Ling Qian, wouldn’t that make you even more presumptuous!"
"May I ask Old Master, did you personally hear say those words?" Xia Yinian t his gaze, her face expressionless.
"What do you an? Are you suggesting that Ziqi would lie to ?"
Although, Old Master Gu knew his granddaughter’s temperant, perhaps a bit of what she said was fabricated.
But, it can’t be that everything is fabricated, Ziqi wouldn’t stoop so low!
Xia Yinian found it laughable, Old Master Gu knew his granddaughter’s temperant, yet he refused to believe her malice.
"I never said those words. Gu Ziqi indeed was picking a fight, deliberately hit my friend, and I just retaliated."
"Though Taotao is working here as a maid, maids are humans too, and they too have families and friends who care about them! Gu Ziqi casually hitting people, I don’t think there was anything wrong with retaliating."
"You still dare backtalk?" It was clear Old Master Gu was fiercely angry.
"I’m not backtalking, I just wanted to explain. But if Old Master won’t let explain, then I’ll only say this once."
She looked at Gu Ziqi, smirked coldly: "Gu Ziqi is pampered and spoiled, willful and unruly, treating human lives as if they were re grass. If Old Master continues to indulge her, sooner or later she will bring disaster upon herself!"
"How dare you!" Suddenly, Old Master Gu stepped forward in anger: "How I discipline the younger generation of my Gu Family is not for an outsider to dictate!"
Just a re young girl, yet she dares to command and dictate before him!
Among his nurous younger family mbers, he hasn’t seen any of them this audacious!
"Guards! This wretched girl has hard a young lady of our Gu Family, take her into custody to await the police’s handling."
"Yes!" Several bodyguards surged forward.
But this ti, Gu Lingqian still stepped forward to shield Xia Yinian behind him.
"Nian Nian was brought back by . If she has made a mistake, then it’s because I didn’t keep a good watch over her. Grandpa, any punishnt you have, let and Nian Nian bear it together."
"You!" Old Master Gu pointed at him, his fingertips trembling. "Even you dare to defy ?"
"I dare not, Grandpa, I just... can’t bear to let Nian Nian suffer all this by herself."
Gu Lingqian was earnest and sincere; had Xia Yinian not been absolutely clear about the nature of their relationship, even she would have nearly fallen for his deep affection.
But she still walked out from behind him, facing Old Master Gu, fearless.
"I did hit Gu Ziqi, but for the words I did not say, and the deeds I did not do, I’ll never admit to them."
"Even if Old Master wants to call the police, once at the police station, the words I have to say will still be the sa."
