Chapter 131: 103 Domineering Beat Up Dad (Second Update)_2

“Have you provided for me then? Even for a single day?”

Lord Gu was caught off guard and stuttered after a pause, “Isn’t that because of the mistaken identity? I’ve come back to compensate you now, haven’t I? As long as you come back with me, you would be the Lady of the Marquis’s Residence! Your mother and I would both cherish you very much!”

Gu Jiao scoffed, “There’s no sincerity at all.”

Lord Gu replied miffed, “Why do you say I lack sincerity?”

Gu Jiao coolly responded, “If you truly want to take me back, then drive out Gu Jinyu who has occupied my identity for over a decade, that’s the kind of sincerity you should have.”

Lord Gu’s expression instantly darkened, “How could you utter such spiteful words? None of this was Jinyu’s fault, yet you insist on blaming her! Despite her always speaking up for you, saying her illness isn’t due to your bullying. Look at yourself, is this how you behave as an older sister?”

Gu Jiao dryly declared, “I don’t have a sister.”

“You…..” Lord Gu thought of how affectionately Jinyu always called Gu Jiao ‘sister’. He then looked at this young lady, who seemed to have no redeeming qualities at all, disappointing him through and through. “I won’t drive Jinyu away, you can quit dreaming!”

Hmph, who cares?

Gu Jiao drove him out and slammed the door shut with a loud ‘bang’!

Meanwhile, Huang Zhong at the village entrance was anxious waiting for the return of Lord Gu. After a while, when his master didn’t show up, he thought his master might have caused some trouble. Just as he was about to go looking, he saw his Lord Gu covering his nose and walking towards him.

“Lord Gu, what happened?” Hud Zhong asked in concern.

Lord Gu lowered his hand from his nose, and Huang Zhong was flabbergasted. “You…you were beaten up again?”

Why was his nose bleeding? And it’s swollen too?

“Isn’t it all because she slammed the door so fast?” He tried to step through the doorway, but instead was smacked by the door, almost skewing his nose.

Huang Zhong sighed, “Can’t you just avoid upsetting Miss Gu?”

Lord Gu glared at him, “How am I the one upsetting her? She is clearly the one who’s upsetting me!”

Huang Zhong asked, “How did she upset you?”

Lord Gu coldly scoffed, “She had the audacity to ask me to drive Jinyu away! How can her mind be so narrow, she can’t even accommodate a sister! When Jin Yu learned that she had an elder sister, what did she say?”

This…. isn’t the same, right?

The second Miss isn’t his own biological child, she has taken Miss Gu’s place for so many years. It’s already good enough that she has not been sent back to her real family, let alone having the audacity to complain?

While Second Miss may be innocent, isn’t Miss Gu as well?

She suffered the hardships that should have been borne by the Second Miss, while the Second Miss enjoyed the blessings that should have been hers. Who would be happy about this?

However, having served Lord Gu for many years, Huang Zhong understands his master’s nature very well. He is immensely rebellious and tenacious at heart, he is the type to persist in doing something especially when he is told not to.

On this point, father and daughter were indeed very similar.

Huang Zhong let out a sigh,”Lord Gu, let’s go back.”

Lord Gu shot him a dangerous glance, “The matter isn’t resolved yet, how could I possibly go back?”

Huang Zhong was speechless, “But, you have no way to deal with Miss Gu.”

“Just because I don’t have a way to deal with her, doesn’t mean I can’t deal with others.” Lord Gu coldly replied, “Let’s go to the Academy.”

The Academy had just ended for the day.

Xiao Liulang had just come out from the Tianxiang Academy and was about to pick up Xiao Jingkong from the private school.

Lord Gu asked a young servant from the Academy to point out Xiao Liulang. The young servant lifted his hand and pointed, “It’s him!”

Lord Gu looked towards Xiao Liulang and to his surprise, he recognized him. He nearly dropped his jaw!

Wasn’t this the young boy from the last time, from the village, who bore a resemblance to the young Marquis from Zhaodu?

How could it be him?

Lord Gu didn’t meet the young Marquis from Zhaodu often, primarily because there was no significant interaction between the two families. Despite both being Marquis residences, the Xuanping Marquis Residence held a higher status than the Ding’an Marquis Residence.

Xuanping Marquis was a genuine First-rank king.

With power, wealth and influence, they were wealthy enough to rival a country, dominating the capital.

The sister of Xuanping Marquis was the current Empress. Even his other sister, Consort Shu, had to perform the rites of a concubine upon meeting her.

The off-spring from such a family could unquestionably be referred to as the Pride of the Heaven.

Born into such excellence, yet he also possessed distinguished personal talents. At the young age of twelve or thirteen, he had already become a young ceremonial officer of the Guozijian, matched his father, Xuanping Marquis, in his brilliance and elegance.

It’s a pity that the heavens envy the gifted.

Lord Gu took another look at Xiao Liulang.

This time, he didn’t find him very similar.

The young Marquis from Zhaodu was a pure and kindhearted youth, as gentle as jade, always carrying a dignified and beautiful smile in his eyes.

Xiao Liulang’s gaze was too cold, as if his heart was shrouded in darkness.

Lord Gu squinted his eyes discontentedly.

At this moment, Xiao Liulang walked closer, and the young servant waved at him, “Xiao Liulang! Someone is looking for you!”
