Chapter 910: Chapter 912: Outdoing Each Other at Keeping Secrets
Facing Fang Yue, Jiang Jing stood with his back straight.
"Xiaojing, speak nicely if you have something to say." Gu Hai heard that Jiang Jing had come over and immediately rushed back, following Fang Yue upstairs.
"Uncle Gu."
As soon as Jiang Jing opened his mouth, Gu Hai’s face darkened, and he said, "As long as you two are not divorced, I remain your father-in-law, your father."
"Dad." Jiang Jing didn’t dwell on the form of address and directly brought up matters involving Jian Fang and, not just her, but also Zhao Xiu.
After listening, Gu Hai understood why the Jiang Family’s attitude had suddenly changed.
The Jiang Family, whether it be Jiang Changsong or Jiang Jing, both father and son inherit the same quality, integrity and kindness, donating a lot to orphanages every year. In the business world, everyone knows that Jiang Changsong and his son are great philanthropists. In their eyes, things are black and white; they cannot tolerate any dishonesty.
Now, what Gu Mingzhu did has crossed the Jiang Family’s bottom line, no wonder...
No wonder the Jiang Family suddenly stopped lending money.
Gu Hai stepped forward and suddenly slapped Gu Mingzhu, the loud slap causing everyone in the room to freeze.
Gu Mingzhu was stunned. Since she was young, her parents had only ever praised her and never hit her.
Fang Yue rushed forward, shouting at Gu Hai, "Gu Hai, are you crazy? Mingzhu is still in confinement, how can you hit her!"
"Mingzhu, are you okay?" Fang Yue looked at her pale face with a red five-finger mark, feeling as if she wanted to fight Gu Hai.
Jiang Jing’s eyes flickered upon seeing this, not expecting Gu Hai to be so ruthless.
"Xiaojing, past matters were my fault as a father for not teaching her well, but since Mingzhu is already married to you, can’t we let bygones be bygones? You two are in love, and I’ve seen that as a father." Gu Hai spoke earnestly, then turned to Gu Mingzhu and said, "Mingzhu, apologize. The Jian Family lost a daughter, so we must help them. How did I bring you up since you were little?"
Gu Hai’s voice was exceedingly stern, with eyes as sharp as a blade.
For the first time after growing up, Gu Mingzhu saw this side of Gu Hai. She tearfully apologized to Jiang Jing while Fang Yue, beside her, sympathetically said: It’s confinement period, she shouldn’t cry, or it might harm her eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Jing couldn’t bring himself to say what he initially wanted to say. He left with a heavy heart.
Jiang Changsong, seeing him return with his head hanging, knew that the situation today was not resolved clearly. The Gu Family would not give up so easily.
...
Gu Family.
Gu Hai scolded Gu Mingzhu harshly, and sitting on the bed, Gu Mingzhu had become numb from the initial pain and disbelief.
Fang Yue, unable to bear it, exchanged harsh words with Gu Hai, and Gu Hai immediately recalled what Pei Yicheng had said at the hospital. He stared at Fang Yue, questioning, "Fang Yue, was it you who lost Nianhua, or was it stolen by a thief?"
"Of course, it was stolen by a thief." Fang Yue replied somewhat guiltily.
"Heh." Seeing her expression, Gu Hai knew the truth, he laughed angrily and said, "Good, good, good."
He said "good" three times in a row, coldly saying, "You mother and daughter are quite the pair, each hiding things so well. Tell me, is there anything else you’re hiding from me?"
