Chapter 492: Chapter 487: The Internal Affairs of The Gus
The Gu family was currently in the midst of chaos.
After Gu Beihan and his sister returned home last night, Gu Beiying was scolded. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Gu asked Butler Gu to inquire about the woman from last night, he was nearly scared to death.
“Sir, I’ve found out that the young lady who had a conflict with our young mistress at the Li family last night was the mysterious Ms. Nangong from the Nangong family.” Butler Gu reported the information he had painstakingly acquired.
“You disobedient girl, do you know you’ve foiled my plans. How could the Gu family produce such a blockhead like you.” Mr. Gu was so angry that his hands trembled.
“Father, calm down, let’s sit down and talk about this. Don’t get angry.” Mr. Gu saw his father’s fury and quickly tried to appease him by patting his back.
“Yes, father, calm down. Linlin did this out of ignorance, couldn’t you forgive her inconsideration in light of her innocence? ” Mrs. Gu also tried to put in good words, pleading for their beloved daughter.
“You’re all driving me mad. You can continue to spoil her. Let’s see what you can do when she causes a big mess someday.” Mr. Gu’s anger heightened after hearing this.
His original plan was excellent, but now it was ruined by the foolish actions of Gu Beilin.
“Father and son, follow me to the study room.” An angry Mr. Gu left after uttering these words.
“Father, this…” Mr. Gu looked at his wife and daughter, and then followed his father’s footsteps.
Gu Beihan, however, said nothing and directly followed them to the study room.
“Mother.” Gu Beilin, feeling wronged, threw herself into Mrs. Gu’s arms.
“There, there, it’s okay. Your father and brother will handle this.” Mrs. Gu comforted her beloved daughter by patting her back.
Gu Beilin cried pitifully, blaming that woman. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t be reprimanded by her grandfather.
She vowed to make that woman pay the first chance she got, showing her the consequences of crossing Gu Beilin.
Up to now, Gu Beilin still hadn’t realized what she did wrong and where her mistake lay, she only blamed everyone else.
In the study room, the three generations of Gu family sat on the sofa. Mr. Gu was silent, watching his son and grandson. Since Mr. Gu did not speak up, they too remained silent, waiting for him to speak.
“The reason I asked Beihan to come back this time, I presume you two can guess. Sadly, everything was destroyed by Linlin before it even started.
Gu Chao, explain our family’s current situation to Beihan.” Mr. Gu rubbed his temples tiredly.
“Beihan, your grandfather is right. The reason we called you back this time is because we wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Nangong family.” Gu Chao looked at his son and affirmed their plan.
“Why the Nangong family? Isn’t the daughter of the Nangong family unknown to the world?” Gu Beihan had already been informed about this by Butler Gu in the car, so he wasn’t surprised. What he didn’t understand was why it had to be the Nangong family. Wouldn’t other families do?
“Because our Gu family’s current situation isn’t as good as it seems on the surface.” Gu Chao looked at his son helplessly.
“What happened?” Gu Beihan, who had been away for years and hadn’t dealt with family affairs, had no idea what had happened at home.
“Your uncle had some problems while working on a project, which damaged the reputation of our Gu family and caused us to lose many clients.
Your uncle was hit hard and lost a large sum of money gambling. By the time we found out, he had already poured most of our family’s funds into it. It can be said that our Gu family is now only glamorous on the surface, but hollow inside.” Gu Chao along with his brother was in charge of different regions.
