The pain made Qiao Wan wake up from her fear.
She looked directly into Gu Zhiyin's eyes and struggled to speak, "Mr. Gu, you bully me like this because you can't handle Grandma Gu, so you're forcing me to break off the engagement, right?"
Qiao Wan looked magnanimous as if she had seen through him, smiling and saying, "Don't think too much, I won't break off the engagement."
"Since Miss Qiao has made it clear, then that's okay..."
Gu Zhiyin let go of her, took a step back, made a call on his cell phone, "Call the two women to come up."
Qiao Wan realized something was wrong, "What do you want to do?"
"Since Miss Qiao wants to marry me, she has to tolerate some of my quirks."
Qiao Wan frowned, "What?"
"I like to sleep with several women at the same time." Gu Zhiyin smiled sarcastically, "I'm not interested in your figure. You can watch it later."
Qiao Wan's face changed, "You humiliate me?"
"No." Gu Zhiyin sat loosely on the bed, "I am such a bad person."
Qiao Wan stared at him and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter, I accept it."
She pulled off her belt, took off her bathrobe, and walked toward him step by step.
…
Mu Ning rushed into the old house in a state of embarrassment.
She came down from the mountain and was found missing by the people from Anling Temple, who immediately sent someone to look for her.
Mu Ning did not dare to walk on the main road. She came down the muddy mountain road. She ran too fast. The mountain road was slippery and she fell a lot.
Now she is unkempt, with mud on her body and face, and in her hair.
Mu Ning stood at the door of Gu Zhiyin's room, afraid that he would see it later. She took two deep breaths, tugged on her wrinkled clothes, wiped her face, raised her hand, and prepared to knock on the door.
"Mr. Gu... be gentle... ah, be gentle..."
Mu Ning froze when he knocked on the door, and the blood in his body froze.
This voice is...Qiao Wan?
Qiao Wan is in Gu Zhiyin's room, they are...
Mu Ning's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to turn the door handle.
"Why are you shouting so loudly, for fear that no one outside will hear you?"
A low, forbearing voice came out.
Mu Ning's fingers trembled, and his heart was instantly pierced by the sound.
Such a familiar sentence.
Did he also tell her...
——Why are you shouting so loudly, for fear that no one outside can hear you?
Mu Ning stood outside the room, suddenly losing the courage to open the door.
She felt the myriad of pains and slowly retracted her hand.
The sound in the room continued.
Mu Ning lowered his head, looking at his dirty appearance, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth in self-deprecation.
It turned out that this was the answer she had been searching for after countless struggles and running all night.
How did she get herself so dirty and embarrassed?
Mu Ning looked up at the incandescent lamp on the wall and felt it was particularly dazzling.
She was silent for a long time, wiped the wet corners of her eyes, turned around, her movements suddenly stiffened.
Mrs. Gu stood behind her with a gloomy face and sneered, "Is it time to worry now?"
Mu Ning opened his mouth.
"Catch her!"
Madam Gu shouted, and two men immediately rushed out and detained Mu Ning.
Mu Ning struggled hard, "Let me go, I want to go home..."
Before she finished speaking, the man covered her mouth and dragged her out of the old house.
"Mu Ning, you are so brave, you went down the mountain privately before the time for praying!"
Mu Ning glared at the old lady with red eyes, "I promised you to go to Anling Temple because of Gu Zhiyin, but now I think it's unnecessary! I won't go to that lousy place again, let me go!"
"That won't work. Ayin has promised to get engaged to Wanwan, and they will hold a wedding on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I don't want your little shit to ruin this good thing."
Mrs. Gu ordered, "Send her back, lock her up, and prohibit her from going down the mountain again!"
Mu Ning was gagged and forced into a black business car.
The car flew away with dust, and Mrs. Gu was still standing at the gate of the old house.
"Mom, what if you let Gu Zhiyin know about this and make him anxious and out of control." Gu Peiyuan walked out at this time.
Mrs. Gu glanced at him and said, "I have my own plan."
As long as the wedding goes smoothly, let him know.
"It's cold, let me help you in."
Gu Peiyuan helped the old lady enter the house, looked back at the direction where Mu Ning disappeared, and his eyes flickered.
…
Gu Zhiyin tugged on his wrinkled collar, opened the door to the room and walked out.
Along the way, the servants stared at him with strange expressions and whispered to each other.
"Hey, have you heard that he is the son of a prostitute?"
"No, Mr. Gu has such a distinguished status, and the old lady is so kind to him."
"He said it himself..."
Gu Zhiyin didn't look at anyone, took out a cigarette from his arms, put it in the corner of his mouth, lit it, and walked straight out of the main house.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Gu Huaian stopped him and asked, "Where are you going, Ayin?"
Gu Zhiyin narrowed his eyes, "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just came to help the old lady to persuade you."
Gu Zhiyin gave him an expressionless look and left with a cigarette.
Gu Huaian looked at his back and said, "You should be obedient and marry Miss Qiao, so that girl Mu Ning will not have to suffer for you."
Gu Zhiyin suddenly turned around, "What's wrong with Mu Ning?"
Gu Huai'an looked at his cold expression, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's nothing. On the morning when you were punished by kneeling, she went to beg the old lady to let you go."
"The old lady asked her to go to Ling'an Temple to pray for the Gu family, and she was not allowed to go down the mountain until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Gu Zhiyin's eyes were filled with coldness, and he was about to leave with a stern face.
"Hey, I'm not finished yet."
Gu Huaian continued: "Who would have thought that this girl ran down the mountain privately tonight and came to the old house. She stood at the door of your room for a long time and I don't know why she didn't go in."
Gu Zhiyin thought of something when he heard this, and his heart sank in vain, "Where is she?"
"The old lady asked someone to kidnap him back."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that this girl is as stubborn as you. The night you were punished by kneeling, she guarded you all night outside the ancestral hall."
"Tsk, it's such a cold day and it's been snowing all night. She is really affectionate towards you."
Gu Zhiyin clenched his fists, and the burning smoke was extinguished in his hands. He could not feel the burning sensation at all, but the sharp pain in his chest was so clear in his mind that he turned pale in pain.
At that time, he knew that the old lady would not let him go easily. He was obviously suspicious, but was bewitched by her and went to bed and lost his mind.
How could she do this without telling him, how could she be so stupid!
"Ayin, I advise you, if you want to protect that girl, you better not go against the old lady. You can't fight her."
Gu Huai'an didn't think it was a big deal, and when he saw Gu Zhiyin leaving without saying a word, he showed an expression of watching a good show.
He took out his mobile phone and called Gu Peiyuan, "Brother, I have told him about Mu Ning. His face is ugly, he is probably very angry."
"The angrier the better, let him fight with the old lady. It is best to fight until both sides are injured, so that we have a chance to act."
Since the old lady is unwilling to let Gu Zhiyin step down, and the grandfather and grandson still maintain a superficial peace, don't blame them for getting in the way and tearing apart their superficial relationship of mutual use.
Originally, the old lady forced Gu Zhiyin to marry Qiao Wan, which caused a tense relationship between the two.
If you can't marry the woman you love and have to marry a woman you don't love, who wouldn't be angry or aggrieved?
Gu Peiyuan knew that Mu Ning was Gu Zhiyin's last line.
Once Mu Ning is touched, Gu Zhiyin will no longer tolerate the old lady's restraint and will definitely resist.
If Mrs. Gu cannot control Gu Zhiyin, she will have no choice but to confiscate his rights and kick him out of the Gu family. By then, the position of president of the Gu family will be vacant. Will it not be his turn to be Gu Peiyuan?
In terms of qualifications and strength, in what way is he inferior to Gu Zhiyin?
After being suppressed by Gu Zhiyin for so many years, it was enough!
Gu Huaian knew what he meant, "Brother, what should we do next?"
"I'm going to report the situation to the old lady. You arrange for someone to do something..."
…
Mrs. Gu was just about to go to bed when Gu Peiyuan knocked on the door of her room and told her that Gu Zhiyin had run away.
The old lady immediately stood up, put on her clothes and led a group of people to Gu Zhiyin's room, and opened the door.
I saw Qiao Wan wrapped in a bed sheet and her mouth was sealed with tape, writhing like a maggot on the ground...
