"Mr. Gu just now, President Hu was about to hit my daughter, wasn’t he?" Gu Changchuan hadn’t forgotten what had just happened.
"Why, because my daughter is pretty, is President Hu envious, intending to strike my daughter’s face?"
Hearing Gu Changchuan’s words, Hu Zhengtian felt a sudden jolt in his heart and immediately began to explain, "Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
"Oh? A misunderstanding?" Gu Changchuan looked at Hu Zhengtian with an indifferent gaze, showing neither happiness nor anger, "So when President Hu raised his hand to slap my daughter just now, was I seeing things, mistaken?"
Hu Zhengtian’s face turned extremely awkward upon hearing this, and he was at a loss for words for a moment.
Because just now, he truly had intended to slap Gu Zhiqi.
If it hadn’t been for Gu Changchuan grabbing his hand, that slap would probably have already landed on Gu Zhiqi’s face.
But given the current situation, he obviously couldn’t admit it, "Second Master Gu, it was just a misunderstanding, I never really intended to hit her, just to scare her a bit."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changchuan simply snorted coldly.
Being an ancient martial artist, Gu Changchuan’s cold snort carried a tremendous aura of an ancient martial artist, which immediately made Hu Zhengtian stagger, nearly falling to his knees before Gu Changchuan.
Hu Zhengtian looked at Gu Changchuan with trepidation, not daring to utter another word.
Hu Zhengtian dared not speak, and Gu Chongming beside him also wore a look of concern, remaining silent for the time being, but the director of the school’s guidance office who had come in with Hu Zhengtian frowned.
"This gentleman must be Gu Zhiqi’s parent, am I right?" The guidance director took a few steps forward and stood before Gu Changchuan.
Gu Changchuan glanced at the director and nodded lightly, "That’s me."
"This is a school, not a business district. Once at school, Mr. Gu, you are just Gu Zhiqi’s parent. Shouldn’t Mr. Gu put aside your demeanor as the head of the Gu Family?" The guidance director was named Li Yiming.
Li Yiming obviously recognized Gu Changchuan and was aware of his status in Sea City, but he didn’t seem to fear Gu Changchuan.
Gu Changchuan heard this without much change in his expression, but still politely asked, "May I know your name?"
"This is Director Li Yiming from Sea City No. 1 Middle School," said Hu Zhengtian subconsciously as he introduced Li Yiming.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changchuan nodded lightly, "Director Li, is it?"
Li Yiming didn’t respond, only standing there with a stern face.
"Did Director Li just say I’m carrying the demeanor of a Gu Family parent?" Gu Changchuan began, his tone neutral.
"Isn’t it so?" Li Yiming looked up, locking eyes directly with Gu Changchuan.
"I think, Director Li, you should be clear about one thing, earlier it was Mr. Hu who first tried to hit my daughter."
"If Director Li feels I have a certain demeanor, indeed I do, that of a Gu Family head and that of a father."
"I am the head of the Gu Family, but also Gu Zhiqi’s father, and I do not see any issue with using my position to protect my child."
Li Yiming spoke up, "Mr. Gu, of course, you can protect your child, but this is a school, and your behavior..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to resolve an issue concerning two students today. We should set aside the earlier matter for now," Gu Chongming saw the standoff between the two sides and thought it unwise, promptly speaking up as a mediator.
After the principal’s words, Li Yiming did not continue with his previous point, but instead looked at Gu Changchuan and said coldly, "Since we have come to the students’ issue, Mr. Gu, you should be aware by now, your daughter hit someone, and that student is lying in the hospital."
