Gu Yaoqing was almost driven to death by Xia Qingtian and even wanted to resort to violence.
But he knew what kind of occasion this was, and it was definitely not a place where he could act out recklessly.
So many eyes were watching. If he hit Xia Qingtian today, all the noble families in the capital would know that Gu Yaoqing had hit a woman.
Although he would never indulge such a shameless woman in private and would never hold back when necessary, he still cared about his reputation in public.
However, Xia Qingtian was truly disgusting. By trampling on his face like this, if he didn't teach her a lesson today, he would surely be ridiculed by others in the future.
But when it came to teaching Xia Qingtian a lesson, Gu Yaoqing really didn't know what to do.
After all, it was not appropriate to hit her, she had a formal invitation letter, and she had a sharp tongue and a shameless face.
Gu Yaoqing was trembling with anger, the veins on his neck bulging, his eyes fixed on Xia Qingtian, unable to utter a single word.
He really couldn't understand why Xia Qingtian had gained Master Lei's appreciation. After all, this woman was only moderately attractive, with a good figure…
Thinking of this, Gu Yaoqing curled his lips and said with a flirtatious tone, "Xia Qingtian, I thought you were so devoted to Gu Yaoyang, but you turned around and seductively courted Gu Yaolin. How did you get the Lei family's invitation letter… I don't need to say more, do I?"
"Brother, it's not…" Gu Yaolin was about to explain when Gu Yaoqing glared at him fiercely, silencing him.
"Don't be like that~ It's not often that you have a mouth, so say more. Don't waste the quality resources that evolution has given you," Xia Qingtian said with her arms crossed. "After all, people like me, who don't have many evolutionary advantages, just happen to have a mine that can supply the latest energy, and it's also by accident that I have an sensible, obedient, and clingy genius sister. Even more coincidentally, this sister is best friends with Master Lei's daughter~
People like me, who rely on strength and luck, are different from Mr. Gu, who was born the eldest grandson of the Gu family.
You have good breeding. The advantages you were born with in your mother's womb can allow you to be arrogant your whole life, bullying men and women, not even letting go of your own cousin's fiancée. You don't cherish what you get, and you cheat when you want to.
Seeing that the other person is in prison, you really live up to the old saying: 'Husband and wife are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly in different directions,' aren't you?
A heartless and unrighteous person like you should say more while you still have the chance. Saying less is your loss."
Xia Qingtian was merciless when she insulted people, especially scum who had bullied her man and now wanted to bully her.
"Xia! Qingtian!" Gu Yaoqing was completely enraged by Xia Qingtian now. How dare she reveal her affairs in public! He was the victim!
Anger surged into his heart, and Gu Yaoqing raised his hand to slap Xia Qingtian: "On behalf of Gu Yaoyang, I will teach you a lesson, you promiscuous slut!"
Gu Yaolin was completely panicked at this moment. He immediately pulled Xia Qingtian behind him, closed his eyes, and waited to receive the slap, but he never felt the expected pain.
Quietly opening a sliver of his eyes, Gu Yaolin realized that his long-desired brother was standing not far in front of him.
"Represent me? Are you worthy?" Gu Yaoyang grabbed Gu Yaoqing's wrist, his voice cold and deep.
Seeing Gu Yaoyang suddenly appear, Gu Yaoqing was stunned at first. When his eyes met Gu Yaoyang's, he immediately felt a sense of guilt.
"Wow~ So there are indeed perverts who pester women at the bathroom door," Bai Yuqi said exaggeratedly, raking his bangs with his hand. "Even I, a pervert, think you are very ~ perverted!"
"Bai Yuqi! Don't spout nonsense!" Gu Yaoqing frowned. He wanted to shake off Gu Yaoyang's hand, but he felt that Gu Yaoyang's hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping his wrist, making his wrist bones hurt.
Seeing that he couldn't shake off Gu Yaoyang, and the surrounding people were whispering, Gu Yaoqing could only defend himself: "It was Xia Qingtian who was making things difficult for Gu Yaolin! I was helping Yaolin…"
"And now it's me making things difficult for him? Wasn't it seduction before?" Xia Qingtian said with a chuckle. "Mr. Gu's mouth doesn't seem to have fully evolved, and his eyes seem a bit blind too."
"You!" Gu Yaoqing was about to curse when he felt Gu Yaoyang increase the force on his hand, almost making him cry out in pain.
"I advise you to think before you speak," Bai Yuqi said with a smirk. "Mr. Gu has a notoriously bad temper."
"I, I was just trying to save Xia Qingtian's face…" Gu Yaoqing's voice trembled with pain. That bastard Gu Yaoyang, was he really going to break his bones for a woman!
This damned bastard!
"Yaolin, you tell me." Gu Yaoyang wouldn't believe Gu Yaoqing, he knew too well what kind of trash Gu Yaoqing was.
However, he also knew that if this matter ended ambiguously, it would harm Xia Qingtian's reputation.
That wouldn't do.
"Brother," Gu Yaolin met Gu Yaoyang's gaze before swallowing and saying, "I, I heard people at home say that you abandoned your home for a femme fatale…
Then, the internet said that you were together with her, that she had bewitched you, so…"
Gu Yaolin timidly glanced at Xia Qingtian, then at Gu Yaoyang and said, "I just wanted to talk to her a few words, I, I was just curious how she managed to bewitch you so much that you didn't come home."
"Nonsense!" Gu Yaoyang frowned, and the force of his hand increased.
"Pain!" Gu Yaoqing really wanted to curse.
Gu Yaolin is being a troublemaker, why are you squeezing Gu Yaolin!
Why are you squeezing me!
Gu Yaoyang then released Gu Yaoqing's wrist and walked directly to Xia Qingtian, asking softly, "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Xia Qingtian said with a smile at Gu Yaoyang. "He said I was a femme fatale~ Am I that beautiful?"
Gu Yaoyang chuckled lightly at this, his voice gentle and doting, "You are the most beautiful."
Gu Yaolin, standing aside, was dumbfounded. Was this still his cold, extremely intelligent, and wise idol brother!
Could his brother also smile… so gently?
Before Gu Yaolin could react, Gu Yaoqing, under the指指点点 (pointing fingers and murmuring) of others, became furious.
"Gu Yaoyang!" Gu Yaoqing rubbed his aching wrist, exasperated. "You actually hit me for a woman! Are you even human!"
"Mm…" Gu Yaoyang pondered for a moment before looking at Gu Yaoqing and saying, "Why… wouldn't I be?"
