Chapter 168: Why is There No Retribution?
Xia Yinian’s words, like a breeze, blew into everyone’s hearts.Some found her words grating and unpleasant, but the majority felt as though a spring breeze had brushed over their heart.
Warm, comfortable!
Here, there were horse training ground staff, servants, doctors, nurses, and bodyguards.
In the eyes of the prestigious members of the Gu Family, they were indeed just poor wretches.
But, they too have dignity!
Even if they are poor, at least they have not committed any evil deeds, lied, or hurt anyone; they live upright lives, with peace of mind!
On the other hand, women like Gu Ziqi, because they have some status and some money, think they can treat poor people however they wish!
Why do such people not face retribution?
Nearly twenty years old, and still just a child? Shouldn’t she be responsible for her actions?
It’s because of mothers like Guan Xiaoxue that daughters with such character are raised.
The so-called ladies from grand households, the so-called elegance and grace, it’s all fake!
In Guan Xiaoxue and Gu Ziqi, not a trace can be found!
"You... What are those looks, does no one want to work for the Gu Family anymore?"
Everyone’s disdainful gaze fell on Guan Xiaoxue, her face turned beet red.
How dare they! They dared to be so rude to her!
Old Master Gu suddenly stood up, even the wild Guan Xiaoxue dared not speak.
Gu Jinghe looked at him: "Dad..."
"It’s because of having a father like you, a husband like you, that your daughter and your wife have become so arrogant!"
Old Master Gu might be biased, but at least he still had a sense of right and wrong.
What Guan Xiaoxue had said and done was really rude and disgraceful!
Being the head of the Gu Family, he also felt ashamed.
"Dad, Xiao Xue and Ziqi aren’t like that, today... they were just pushed too far."
Gu Jinghe tried to explain further, but a piercing look from Old Master Gu made him shut up.
Old Master Gu approached Taotao and took a deep breath to soften his voice slightly.
"My child from the Gu Family has wronged you, for the medical expenses, I will pay tenfold..."
"No need, Old Master, it’s just a superficial injury, some medicine will do, no need to see a doctor, I haven’t spent any money."
Taotao replied hurriedly, feeling flustered.
This made Old Master Gu feel even more uncomfortable, seeing the character of someone else’s child, then thinking of his own...
He sighed, and said: "My Gu Family has wronged you, whatever we owe, I hope you can forgive us."
"Gu, Old Master Gu, please don’t speak such words, I... I..."
Taotao was truly frightened; this man before her was the Old Master Gu who could make the whole Ye City tremble with a stomp of his feet.
Old Master Gu apologizing to her? It was terrifying! She feared she wouldn’t be able to live on in Ye City!
Old Master Gu gave her one more look before turning to Xia Yinian.
"There’s no need to apologize to me, I secretly went out for food and drink yesterday myself, I haven’t been wronged." Xia Yinian muttered.
"..." Old Master Gu felt indescribably mixed emotions, glancing at Gu Ling Qian uncontrollably.
Gu Ling Qian could only smile and say: "Sorry, Grandpa, it’s my fault, I couldn’t bear to let her go hungry."
"It’s not your..."
"It’s my fault." Gu Ling Qian interrupted Xia Yinian, meeting Old Master Gu’s gaze: "However, now that we know the wrong is on Ziqi’s side, perhaps it’s time for Ziqi to spend some time in that small dark room?"
