Chapter 143: His Little Chili Pepper, Getting More Flavorful!
Grandpa is here, finally someone has come to save her.Upon hearing that voice, Gu Ziqi knew it was time to put on a show.
To make herself appear more pitiful, Gu Ziqi "accidentally" fell to the ground.
Looking at the group approaching from afar, tears immediately started flowing, and she wept loudly.
"Grandpa, Xia Yinian wants to kill me, Grandpa, save me!"
Xia Yinian’s hand holding the whip was already raised, about to strike.
The Old Master did not expect her to disobey him, and in anger, he quickened his pace: "Xia Yinian, I told you to stop, did you hear me?"
Xia Yinian could hear, but now that these people had arrived, she could no longer seek revenge for Taotao’s fifth lash.
Determined, she bit her lip and fiercely brought down the fifth whip.
No one could have anticipated, even Gu Beicheng who was at the back of the crowd, that his little firecracker could be so fierce.
With so many people watching, she still had the courage to bring down the whip. Truly a little chili pepper, so spirited!
Among the people present, some were shocked, some in disbelief, some resentful, and others angry, worried.
But it was only Gu Beicheng who, seeing Xia Yinian fiercely bringing down the fifth whip, couldn’t help but lift his thin lips and smile slightly.
What to do, he was finding this little chili pepper more and more entertaining. In the future, how could he ever give up this flavor?
Deep down, Xia Yinian was also uneasy about this lash.
But Gu Ziqi could bully her, but she must not bully Taotao.
At worst, she was ready to sacrifice everything, she was all in!
When the Old Master, the Housekeeper, and Gu Lingqian arrived, Gu Ziqi was sprawled on the ground, crying her heart out.
The Housekeeper Gu Feng immediately went over and helped Gu Ziqi up: "Miss Zi Qi, how are you? Where are you hurt?"
"Everywhere... is hurt, it’s so painful, Uncle Housekeeper, my whole body hurts, and I feel dizzy, wuu wuu..."
Gu Ziqi was crying miserably, with the aid of Gu Feng, she returned to the side of the Old Master.
Indeed she was in a sorry state, not only was her nose swollen, her clothes were covered with dirt, and her hands were whipped.
Seeing this, the Old Master was both distressed and furious, glaring at Xia Yinian who was still holding the whip, he bellowed, "Seize her!"
In the Zhan Family, the Old Master was akin to an ancient emperor, wherever he went, a group of bodyguards followed.
Now, at the Old Master’s command, several bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ready to restrain Xia Yinian.
Xia Yinian, holding the whip, stepped back two steps, staring defensively at these people.
Someone quickly approached her, and before she could react, pulled her behind them.
With a wave of his hand, the approaching bodyguards backed off, no one dared to come closer.
Gu Lingqian faced the Old Master’s gaze, his lips pressed tightly: "Grandpa, things are not yet clear."
"I saw with my own eyes her whipping my granddaughter, isn’t that clear enough?"
The Old Master was enraged. Ling Qian had always been calm, gentle, and obedient, but now, he was defying him for this little girl?
The Old Master’s words made Gu Ziqi burst into desolate sobs.
"Grandpa, you must stand up for me, I... my whole body is in so much pain, I’m dying from pain, wuu wuu, Grandpa, wuu wuu..."
Hearing her crying, the Old Master’s anger burned even fiercer: "Ling Qian, step aside!"
Gu Lingqian did not want to anger the Grandpa, but if he stepped aside now, Nian Nian would definitely suffer.
