Although Qi Shanghai seemed panicked and was about to walk up to them to intervene, Gu Nianshen seemed unusually calm.
Despite Song Changwen’s slap, Gu Nianshen did not even bat an eyelid.
His strong stance caused Song Changwen to hesitate just as she was about to slap him again.
The more he behaved like this, the angrier Song Changwen became. Her eyes had turned red as she grabbed him by the collar and punched his shoulder. “You’ve gone absolutely mad. Are you still my son?”
“Mother, I suggest you spend some time thinking about how you can save the deal between The Cullinan and the Angel Group instead,” Gu Nianshen said calmly.
“What do you mean, Gu Nianshen?” Song Changwen said after being momentarily stunned.
Gu Nianshen immediately began smiling. “If Miss Song and her mother do not apologize to my wife with gifts, and if they don’t replace whatever they have done to her office, I will have to stick my hand in the Angel Group’s case.
He sounded just as cool as his gaze was.
No one would doubt a single word he said.
With her eyes peered, Song Changwen waited for a long while before she cleared her throat. “Are you going to abandon your mother for Lin Yiqian?”
“That depends on whether you want to be a grandmother or an aunt and sister,” Gu Nianshen replied calmly before he began walking outside.
“You… You…” Song Changwen muttered while pointing at Gu Nianshen.
“Somebody call the cops!”
A police car had entered the courtyard as soon as Gu Nianshen stepped out of the house.
The first person to get out of the police car was Jin Suisui, closely followed by three policemen.
When Jin Suisui saw Gu Nianshen, she immediately pointed at him. “He is the man who has brought people over to tear my house down. He has even injured my daughter.”
The policemen stood frozen in place when they saw that the man she referred to was Gu Nianshen.
Gu Nianshen stood at the top of the stairs and smiled at the policemen as he raised his brows. “What’s the matter? Do I need to get the police’s approval to renovate my uncle’s house?”
“That…”
Although the policemen knew he was not exactly renovating the house, they were at a loss for words.
However, it was indeed his uncle’s house.
Seeing that the policemen were being swayed by Gu Nianshen’s words, Jin Suisui immediately shook her head in denial. “That’s not true. He injured my daughter first. My daughter is still recovering in the hospital. After that, he had brought these people over to destroy our house. This is our home and we had only just finished the renovations. There’s nothing else that needs to be changed.”
Right then, Song Changwen walked out of the house and cut Jin Suisui off. “I’m sorry for the trouble. It’s just a misunderstanding.”
“Sister!” Jin Suisui looked at Song Changwen confusedly. She was close to tears. “Are you on his side just because he is your son?”
Feeling caught in between, the policemen took the opportunity to escape. “This is a familial affair. Please try to sort things out amongst yourselves. File a report only if it’s something related to the rule of law.”
Before Jin Suisui could react, the policemen directly returned to the car.
As Song Changwen looked at Gu Nianshen, she reached for his hand and dragged him over to where her car was parked.
Once they both got inside and had closed the doors, she turned on the light in the car.
When she saw the fingerprint she had left on Gu Nianshen’s face due to her slap, Song Changwen could not help but wince as if she could felt the pain herself.
However, she did not make it seem apparent.
“How long have you liked Lin Yiqian?”
Gu Nianshen did not seem at all surprised by Song Changwen’s sudden and direct question. He had no intention of avoiding it either.
