Chapter 623 - 626: He’s Going to Have a Wedding. Let’s See Who Dares to Interfere 3_1
As if a king had entered.
Behind him, he was followed by Bai Wuqing, clean and elegant like an orchid.
Listening to their conversation, his face held a calm and indifferent expression, his voice light and floaty, like a cold wind blowing from hell.
"Is that so? So it’s difficult to enter? What if I insist on my mother entering? What do you elders intend to do?"
It’s not up to others to refute what Gu Shaocheng has to do, not even the elders of the Gu Family that stood before him!
Because whatever Gu Shaocheng decided to do, he wouldn’t care even if the king and his father objected, he wouldn’t be bothered!
As he spoke, he had already taken the main seat, ignoring the Gu family elders’ angry glares and snorts.
"Gu Shaocheng, how will people outside view the Gu Family if you do this? Do you want the whole Gu Family to lose face with you?"
"Right, perhaps you can afford to lose face, but this person, whose half a foot is already in the grave, cannot!"
"Indeed... how will Qianqian’s mother live in the Gu family in the future? She is the rightful wife!"
"..."
One after another, like a river gushing forth, they chattered on about face, morality, rationale, as if Gu Shaocheng, in doing this, was throwing away hundreds of years of the Gu Family’s face, and making the Gu Family the laughing stock of the town.
In the main hall, the air temperature was dropping fast. Humph, his mother was unworthy!
A bunch of old fools, which of them hadn’t made a fool of themselves in their private lives, becoming the laughingstock of others?
Yet they had the nerve to criticise him!
Gu Shaocheng sat quietly, sipping his tea quietly, remaining silent. Only after they finished venting, he placed his teacup down and smiled faintly.
"Wuqing!" He commanded.
Understanding his order, Bai Wuqing stepped forward from behind him, a smirk on his face, as he opened a notebook.
Everything recorded in the notebook, one by one, were the elders’ secret misdeeds and unspeakable activities. If revealed, they would probably be the ones truly disgraced.
If it were usual times, Gu Shaocheng wouldn’t care about their outrageous acts, he would turn a blind eye and let them do as they please. But he had kept track of all those records, waiting for this crucial moment.
When Bai Wuqing read aloud each of their unsightly deeds and indiscretions in a flat, emotionless voice, Gu Shaocheng scanned their expressions with an indifferent glimpse, as if watching a play.
Slap!
"Gu Shaocheng, what do you mean by this?"
He laughed, "Uncle Wu, see how agitated you are! I mean nothing by this... "
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, and Bai Wuqing handed him the notebook. Gu Shaocheng took a lighter and burned the notebook on the spot.
The elders watched his behaviour, exchanging glances.
Watching the notebook burn to ashes, they breathed a private sigh of relief. But before they could fully relax, Gu Shaocheng stood up and laughed, "That was just a copy. It doesn’t matter if it’s burned. I’ve made up my mind on this matter. You elders remember to attend the celebration."
What? The copy was what got burned.
The elders wanted to rage but couldn’t, since Gu Shaocheng firmly held their misdeeds in the palm of his hand. What could they do?
Gu Shaocheng squinted his fierce eyes for a moment, and his casual expression instantly turned cold and ruthless. Yet, his voice remained soft, as if chatting about daily life: "The weather has been fluctuating lately. You elders should take good care of your health. Don’t be absent from the celebration due to a fever or a cold."
