Chapter 176: Paying the Price

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Yan had no choice. The Zhou family was of course important, but he did not want to abandon his sister. Zhou Ling had done something wrong, but she was still his blood relative.

Thinking of this, he cursed Zhou Ling ten thousand times in his heart. She was actually stupid enough to scold the eldest daughter of the Gu family at the Gu family’s birthday banquet. Did she think that the Zhou family was living too well?

Zhou Ling also understood what Gu Yu meant. She immediately sat on the ground and cried. She looked at Zhou Yan and said, “Brother, please don’t abandon me.”

Zhou Yan had no choice but to probe, “Second Young Master, my sister is still young. Can you be magnanimous?

Gu Yu did not answer him. He turned to Yunbao and asked, “Do you want to forgive her?”

Yunbao quickly shook her head. “I don’t want to forgive her. She should be punished for insulting Mom just now.”

Just because Yunbao didn’t like to argue with others didn’t mean that she didn’t have a temper. She didn’t take it to heart about anything else, but if anyone dared to hurt her family, she would definitely make that person pay the price.

When Zhou Ling heard Yunbao’s words, anger rose in her heart. “You’re just a bastard without a father. What right do you have to criticize me?

Zhou Yan couldn’t stop his sister from talking. He sighed that the Zhou family was finished this time.

Yunbao was also angry. “Yunbao is not a bastard. Yunbao has a father.”

“Who said that my daughter is a bastard?” Xiao Jing’s voice attracted everyone’s attention. He strode behind Yunbao. His golden hair and golden eyes were so handsome that he did not look like an ordinary person.

Zhou Ling knew that she couldn’t be let off by the Gu family. She stood up and said crazily, “How much money did the Gu family spend to hire you to pretend to be her father? Gu Teng clearly eloped with someone and was abandoned.

That’s why she brought her child home dejectedly. She probably doesn’t even know who this bastard’s father is.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a cup shattered at Zhou Lings feet. After Old Madam Gu threw the cup, she said, “Someone drag her out.”

Zhou Ling was pressed to the ground by the bodyguards and dragged out like a dead dog. Gu Yu said, “From today onwards, our Gu family will not accept any business related to the Zhou family. Whoever cooperates with the Zhou family will be going against our Gu family.”

As soon as he said this, he cut off the Gu family’s future. No one dared to do business with their family. They would go bankrupt in the next two days.

Without a cooperative company, the capital chain would be cut off. In order to make up for this sum of money, the Zhou family would probably have to live on the streets.

Zhou Ling did not expect that her words would destroy the Zhou family. She struggled to crawl back and scold someone, but she was gagged and thrown out by the bodyguards.

This also made the people who came to attend understand how important Gu Tengs position in the Gu family was. The Gu family could even bankrupt a company for her. They did not care how much money they would lose.

Xiao Jing picked up Yunbao in front of everyone and said, “I’m Yunbao’s biological father. I’ve been married to Gu Teng for a long time, but we haven’t had a wedding. I’ll make up for it after some time.”

These people had also heard of Xiao Jing’s name and knew that he was a future family head that could not be underestimated. They congratulated him with smiles.

This was also what Xiao Jing wanted. He wanted everyone to know that Yunbao was not a bastard.

Xiao Shan, who was squeezed into the crowd, finally had a chance to use his skills. He quickly stood up and said, “My son’s wedding with Miss Gu is in the midst of preparations. Everyone, please come.”

Gu Yu turned his back and smiled secretly. He had not even succeeded in proposing marriage, but he actually said that he was already preparing for the wedding. Xiao Jing’s father was really thick-skinned.

Old Madam Gu had also seen Xiao Shan’s character and decided to support her husband’s decision. She would delay for a while longer and agree to his marriage proposal.

Xiao Shan still did not know what he was about to face. He greeted everyone with a face full of smiles, as if he was the one who had organized the birthday banquet.

Xiao Jing carried Yunbao and walked to the back. “Let’s go see how Mom is preparing.”

Gu Teng, who was in the lounge, felt her vision turn black and her head spin uncontrollably. However, today was the day she appeared in front of everyone again. For Yunbao’s identity, she had to hold on openly.

Gu Teng forced herself to sit on the sofa and meditate. She focused all her energy in her brain, hoping to suppress this unusual feeling.

However, after the energy gathered in her brain, it all disappeared. Her energy was continuously sucked away, as if there was a black hole there.

Just as all the energy disappeared, Gu Teng felt that she had returned to normal. Just as she was about to find out what had happened to her body, Xiao Jing pushed the door open and entered with Yunbao..
