Chapter 165 Gasping for Air
To have gotten to this point, everyone has a pretty good idea of what happened yesterday.The Old Master knew his granddaughter was stubborn and willful, but he never imagined she would actually lie to his face seriously.
Children can be forgiven for their mistakes if they don’t know any better, as long as they are willing to apologize sincerely.
What parent doesn’t want the best for their child?
But she refused to admit her wrongdoing and even lied seriously, which causes great pain to a parent.
Because she lied to the Old Master too.
Now, even the Old Master is unwilling to side with Gu Ziqi, making her even more panicked.
"Grandpa... Dad! Mommy! They are bullying me, they are all bullying me?"
Gu Ziqi, with her sharp eyes, saw her parents hurrying over, and immediately wanted to go to them.
But Chi He stepped forward and yanked her back.
"Miss Ziqi, Seventh Young Master wants you to give it a try!" Chi He’s voice was very heavy, and his face was also stern.
He picked up the whip that had been dropped and placed it in Gu Ziqi’s hand, restraining her and leading her over to the horse.
Holding Gu Ziqi’s hand, he lifted the whip together with her, just like Xia Yinian did before, ready to lash down.
The horse suddenly screamed, its steps in disarray as it retreated, trying to dodge!
The horse panicked! Horses too have their nature, it recognizes the person who had beaten it before, and subconsciously it assumes that when this person lifts the whip again, they intend to beat it!
The answer was now obvious, the liar was Gu Ziqi! Yesterday, it was she who beat the horse!
Since she lied, there was no need to ask who was the first to strike yesterday!
"Chi He, how dare you! You disrespectful thing, how dare you touch my daughter!"
Gu Jinghe trembled with anger, Chi He, a subordinate of Seventh, had become more and more presumptuous!
He marched over, his hand raised to strike Chi He’s face.
Chi He was calm, did not dodge, and simply said: "Third Master, I am only following orders."
Gu Jinghe hesitated, although Chi He was just a subordinate, he was Seventh’s most valued man!
Chi He’s word was as good as Seventh’s. Striking Chi He was no different from striking Seventh himself!
His motion halted, the Old Master’s face darkened and he angrily commanded: "Go back!"
Even though Gu Jinghe still harbored burning rage, once the father had spoken, how could he continue to act recklessly!
He could only drag his daughter, who had started crying, away from Chi He, his angry glare still fiercely fixed on Chi He: "You dare to be disrespectful to the lady!"
"He’s just executing an order, Third Brother, are you suggesting that when your daughter makes a mistake, no one is allowed to question her?"
Gu Beicheng still stood there casually, not even a change of expression on his face.
Yet, he managed to make everyone lose their composure under his calmness.
The sunlight shone upon him as though casting a halo around him.
How do you confront such a person? Any form of resistance seems inevitably doomed to fail!
"Daddy, wuwuwu, they’re bullying me." Gu Ziqi huddled in her father’s arms, crying heartbrokenly.
In fact, she was not just feeling wronged at this point, but also terror.
She had lied not just to Uncle but also to Grandpa; now, even Grandpa was unwilling to stand by her, what was she to do?
"Daddy, I don’t feel well, I want to go home, I want to go home, I’m feeling very uncomfortable, I can’t breathe!"
