Gu Deshou’s eyes were close to spewing out fire!
The look that he gave Gu Xingshan was fiery enough to set someone ablaze!
After observing Gu Deshou’s expression, Gu Xingshan clutched Li Yufeng’s arm. “Mother, Father doesn’t believe me, but you must! I don’t even know how I could have gotten my hands on the Imperial Group’s design drafts, let alone swapped them! Also, Mother, I’ve been in school this entire week. I didn’t even have time to meet you. How could I have swapped the drafts! Mother, hurry and say something!”
However, Li Yufeng didn’t react as she did previously. She seemed to be dazed as she was lost in her own thoughts. Then, her entire body stiffened a little!
Her eyes widened, as though she had thought of something that she couldn’t believe was true.
And Gu Xingshan’s tugging on her arm made her snap back into reality suddenly.
She whirled around and saw Gu Xingshan’s expectant gaze, then she glanced at Gu Deshou and Zhuang Nainai. Li Yufeng hesitated momentarily before she stood up quickly.
Gu Xingshan was staring at Zhuang Nainai relentlessly. “Mother, this woman is just here to sow discord amongst us. Tell Father, I didn’t even see you last week. How could I have swapped the drafts!”
After she said this, the sound of a slap reverberated throughout the entire living room!
Bam!
Suddenly, the entire room fell silent!
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed, observing the scene playing out in front of her disbelievingly.
Gu Xingshan was still sitting on the sofa with that expression full of evil and disgust directed at Zhuang Nainai. However, Gu Xingshan’s face was slightly angled to the side, and one could see her cheek turning red and swollen quickly!
And Li Yufeng was standing in front of Gu Xingshan, staring at her from her high vantage point. As she had used too much force during her slap, Li Yufeng’s palm was still trembling slightly.
Gu Deshou, who was seated at the side, had been about to get up and teach Gu Xingshan a lesson. He was frozen in place. He stared at them in surprise, as though he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “Li Yufeng, did you just hit Gu Xingshan?”
This was such a dramatic turn of events!
Zhuang Nainai had thought that Li Yufeng would have protected Gu Xingshan to the end after seeing how Li Yufeng was so protective of her.
The disdain on Li Yufeng’s face had disappeared. The scene that had just happened in front of Zhuang Nainai had exceeded her wildest imaginations.
After a full 30 seconds, Gu Xingshan finally snapped back to reality. She stared at Li Yufeng in disbelief, her eyes turning red as she let out a scream sharp enough to pierce through one’s eardrums, “You, you hit me?!”
Li Yufeng’s eyes were narrowed as she spoke. “Xingshan, I didn’t pamper you because I wanted you to act however you please! What you did this time was too much! No matter how jealous you are of your sister, you shouldn’t have treated the Gu Corporation as your plaything!”
Gu Xingshan replied in her piercing voice, “I didn’t! I...”
“Shut up! How dare you refuse to admit your mistakes even at this juncture! Butler, bring her upstairs! Let her reflect on what she did wrong!”
After she finished speaking, the butler brought a couple of housekeepers over. They forcefully grabbed Gu Xingshan’s arms and dragged her upstairs.
Gu Xingshan struggled violently. “Mother, I didn’t!
“Mother, how could you treat me so unfairly?!
“Mother, I hate you!
“It wasn’t me, you terrible people!
“Gu Qingyan, I won’t forgive you for this!”
...
Gu Xingshan was held in her room upstairs. All of her phones, laptops, and landline phones were taken out of her room, cutting her contact with the outside world.
Li Yufeng’s back was against the walkway, and her eyes were filled with tears. She suddenly turned toward Gu Deshou. “Is this alright with you now?”
When Gu Deshou remained silent, Li Yufeng grew anxious. “What more do you want? Do you want to tell Mr. Si that Gu Qingyan wasn’t the person who stole the drafts and that it was Gu Xingshan who did it instead? And then send Gu Xingshan off to jail?!”
