Gu Jinghe and his wife Guan Xiaoxue were extrely anxious, and despite Gu Ziqi’s incessant and fragile cries of pain, Chi He remained expressionless, pressing down on her with no intention of letting go.
"Seventh Young Master, what... what are you doing?" Gu Jinghe stared at Gu Beicheng, "Let go of her right now!"
If it weren’t for the desperate situation, Gu Jinghe would never want to oppose Gu Beicheng, at the very least, he did not want to anger this younger brother.
He is currently the CEO of Imperial Group, wielding great power, and within the Gu Family, apart from the Old Master, he held the most authority.
Who would willingly offend him?
But, he loves his youngest daughter so much!
Seeing Gu Ziqi crying and screaming in pain, his heart is already shattered with anxiety.
Noticing that Gu Beicheng showed no sign of responding, Guan Xiaoxue hurriedly approached the Old Master and pleaded, "Dad, make him let go. Ziqi is in poor health, she can’t endure this!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ziqi’s legs gave out instantly, and she appeared as if she would faint at any mont.
The Old Master watched his granddaughter suffer without any reaction, but the Old Madam couldn’t stand it.
She walked over to Gu Beicheng, her eyes also filled with urgency, "Seventh Young Master, what exactly is going on? Let Ziqi go first, and we can talk things over slowly."
"Apologize." Gu Beicheng’s face was calm, but his attitude was resolute, "Let her apologize, and I’ll release her."
"Seventh Young Master, don’t you think you’re going too far! Ziqi is about to faint!"
Gu Jinghe knew well his daughter’s character; if she were to apologize in front of so many people, how could she face others in the future?
She would certainly cry every day, cry with heartbreaking sorrow, and cry herself sick!
"Seventh Young Master, what exactly is going on?" The Old Master, seeing the Old Madam’s anxiety, couldn’t help but speak up as well, "Let her go first and then we can talk."
Not a ripple showed in Gu Beicheng’s eyes as he regarded others with complete indifference, only when looking at the Old Madam did his eyes soften slightly.
"This child insulted Nian Nian’s mother. Mom, I don’t think she deserves forgiveness before she realizes her mistake."
"Ziqi... she insulted Nian Nian’s mother?" The Old Madam turned to look at Xia Yinian standing beside Gu Lingqian.
Xia Yinian had never imagined that Seventh Young Master would stand up for her to the extent of confronting the Old Master.
At this mont, she felt rather conflicted.
"She called my mom a kept mistress, she insulted my mom as a cheap woman." The words were spoken without the slightest inflection, so calmly.
It was rely a statent of facts, without additional judgnt. Any judgnt now was their own business.
Right and wrong, an individual’s values cannot change just because soone said sothing.
The Old Madam’s face showed difficulty, and she turned back to Gu Ziqi, "Ziqi, did you really say those words?"
Gu Ziqi wanted to deny it, but with her Uncle and Gu Lingqian present, she felt guilty.
Anyone could tell from Gu Ziqi’s deanor that she had indeed said those words.
The Old Madam’s expression darkened, both heartbroken and helpless, "How could a lady of a reputable family speak such words? Ziqi, apologize imdiately."
She knew Seventh Young Master’s temper; if he said she must apologize, then she must.
Even if the Old Master and he were to have a frontal conflict today, he would not back down.
This matter can only be resolved with Gu Ziqi’s apology.
The Old Master glanced at Chi He, feeling angry but also truly helpless.
Chi He only listened to Seventh Young Master, and if Seventh Young Master didn’t give the word, he would definitely not let go!
What was supposed to be a good weekend had turned out like this!
The Old Master was also starting to dislike Xia Yinian a little!
"Ziqi, be a good girl, apologize to her."
