Chapter 721: 715: Encountered Gu Beihan
“Linlin, apologize to this lady.” Gu Beihan knew that his sister must be at fault again. She’d been spoiled by their family and always acted like she was the most important person in the world, as if others should bow down to her. But she didn’t realize that the Gus were no longer as powerful as they once were. Otherwise, the family wouldn’t have asked him to return and consider marrying into the Nangongs.
However, it seemed that the Nangongs weren’t very keen on this matter. Since his return, he hadn’t found an opportunity to meet with Ms. Nangong, except for the unpleasant encounter at the Li’s. He kept trying to find opportunities to meet with this mysterious Ms. Nangong, but always failed.
Gu Beihan thought that perhaps even destiny didn’t want him to do it, so he decided to leave it up to fate. But now an interesting girl appeared before him, and he suddenly felt glad that he hadn’t established a connection with the Nangongs yet. Otherwise, he would have to deal with their relationship.
“Brother, she bumped into me! Why should I apologize to her?” Gu Beilin looked dissatisfied at her brother.
“But I saw that you were disrespectful to this lady. Isn’t that something you should apologize for?” Gu Beihan coldly looked at Gu Beilin, his eyes full of warning.
“I… I’m sorry.” Gu Beilin didn’t want to apologize, but after seeing her brother’s warning gaze, she whispered her apology.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear it.” Qin Xue looked at Gu Beihan first, then turned to Gu Beilin and said this.
“Don’t be too unreasonable!” Gu Beilin was furious. When had she ever suffered such humiliation before? She had already apologized, and this woman was still acting like a victim. It made her want to scratch that smug face.
“Oh, so you’re deaf? Fine. I won’t make a fuss about this today, out of pity for your disability. Just remember that some people shouldn’t interfere too much in other people’s business. Otherwise, they might not even know how they died.” Qin Xue spoke, always finding trouble whenever she encountered Gu Beilin.
“Qin Xue, you wench, who are you calling disabled?” Gu Beilin yelled.
“Gu Beilin, shut up! Have you no shame?” Gu Beihan wanted to slap her all the way back to the Gu family. How did their family raise such a senseless daughter?
But then again, a worthless person like Gu Beinuan was all the Gus could hope for. Just like Gu Beinuan, who only enjoyed a life of indulgence and wished to compete for power. The Gus spoiled Gu Beinuan, always seeking to provide for him. Weren’t they planning to leave everything to him now? Did the Gus really think that making Gu Beihan marry into the Nangongs would smooth the path for Gu Beinuan? A nice thought, but Gu Beihan wasn’t someone they could use as they pleased. It remained to be seen who would benefit from an alliance with the Nangongs in the end.
However, Gu Beilin’s constant involvement in these incidents made him worry for the Gu family’s already slim chances.
But none of this had anything to do with Gu Beihan. He knew from a young age that he couldn’t rely on the Gu family, so he left as soon as he could. Because of his abilities and insight, he was able to achieve what he had today. The Gus just didn’t know about it all.
