Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly

Chapter 148: The Outcome Might Be the Entire Xia Family’s Funeral

Flipping pebbles caused someone to fall off the car...The words from Gu Yinan made Xia Yinian feel instantly diminished.

She pursed her lips and withdrew her hands, hanging her head low: "I... don’t know what you’re talking about."

Damn it! How could she have forgotten that today she used stones to flick at Gu Ziqi, making her tumble off the car, as if Young Master Nan had witnessed it.

When she had secretly thrown away the remaining stones, Gu Yinan was staring straight at her.

Indeed, he had seen it.

"Flicking pebbles..." Gu Lingqian’s gaze landed on Xia Yinian; his face suddenly darkened, "Was it you who caused Ziqi to fall off the car?"

Seeing the look on his face, Xia Yinian grew displeased: "So what if it was? Who asked her to throw things at my face from atop the car?"

She had never claimed to be a good person; she couldn’t stay calm and composed after being hit.

Gu Lingqian thought of the red mark on her face from the morning, and his previous suffocation suddenly vanished.

This girl had suffered her fair share since coming to the Gu Family.

It really wasn’t in her nature to not retaliate when bullied.

Although Gu Yinan found her amusing, the situation was still a bit serious now.

"Brother, make her go and apologize to the Old Master. This time, Grandpa is really angry."

Of course, the Gu Family wouldn’t really call the police. Such matters, family scandals, are not aired out and instead settled privately.

But with Grandpa this angry, they didn’t know how long they would be kept here.

Gu Lingqian gave Xia Yinian a look, and she immediately shook her head: "I will not apologize. I’ve done nothing wrong!"

The one at fault was Gu Ziqi. Could it be that just because she was the Old Master’s granddaughter, she could do as she pleased?

"You’ve seen it yourself." Gu Lingqian spread his hands, helpless: "She won’t admit to her errors."

"What about you? Will you indulge her?" Gu Yinan frowned.

Gu Lingqian, however, simply smiled: "I believe in her."

"Brother..." Gu Yinan fell silent for a moment, at a loss.

Actually, everyone knew about Gu Ziqi’s temperament, but since she had been frail since childhood, it wasn’t strange that Grandpa was partial to her.

Moreover, this time Xia Yinian had indeed hurt Gu Ziqi.

One could only imagine how enraged the Old Master had been watching his own granddaughter being whipped.

"You might be able to leave at any time, but this girl will likely really not be exiting for the time being."

Is this not a serious matter? Do they realize the gravity of the situation?

Gu Yinan looked at Xia Yinian and pursed his lips: "Prepare yourself mentally. You have angered the Old Master, and the ultimate outcome might very well be your Xia Family’s business, going down with you."

"What are you saying?" Xia Yinian suddenly looked up at him, her face filled with indignation: "Why?"

It was clearly Gu Ziqi’s fault, why should others bear the consequences!

And what’s more, why drag the entire Xia Family into this? What does it have to do with them?

Although Xia Yinian really didn’t have much affection for the Xia Family, there were still some people there who, at the least, were good to her.

Without cause or reason, why should the Xia Family’s enterprise be dragged down with her?

"Because you made a mistake, because you hurt the Old Master’s granddaughter, and also, because you tarnished the Old Master’s dignity."

Gu Yinan’s expression at this moment bore not a trace of jest. He was serious.

Gu Lingqian also said indifferently: "Unless you can prove, truly prove that it was Ziqi’s fault, otherwise, if you made a mistake and are not punished, where would the Old Master’s authority stand?"
