Chapter 267: The Conditions He Put Forward_1
Facing Mrs. Wu’s pleas for mercy, Gu Yuanzhou remained icy cold. He watched the scene impassively, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, one hand neatly arranging the clean edges of his shirt, and carrying himself as arrogantly as an emperor.
I couldn’t stand it any longer and accused him on the spot.
“Gu Yuanzhou, with your wealth and power, do you care about this purple clay pot? Every time you come here, Mrs. Wu serves you with tea and water. Has she ever done anything wrong? Are you trying to show everyone that you’re a heartless and ungrateful person, who not only steals the property of others but also harms their families? Are you even human?”
Angered, my voice became hoarse.
However, before I could finish,
Several young masters, led by Qi Ming, came out of the study one after another.
Qi Ming held an expensive tobacco pipe in his hand.
“Brother Zhou, I didn’t expect to find such a treasure in that old man’s house. This is a hand-carved ivory piece, an antique from a previous era. While it’s quite valuable, you don’t smoke, right? So, I’ll take it home for my old man to enjoy!”
Looking closer, I noticed that Ayu held a collection of my uncle’s Tang swords, while the rest of the items carried by the young masters turned out to be my uncle’s antiquities.
Some of these were heirlooms of the Song family.
This irritated me so much that I wanted to stop them on the spot.
“All of you thieves… Gu Yuanzhou, even if my uncle is blind and gave you the property, these antiques belong to the Song family. Without the permission of the Song family, you stealthily took them away. This is illegal, this is robbery!”
I was so angry that my body was shaking.
Even breathing felt like my heart was in pain.
I used to think that Gu Yuanzhou had merely betrayed me, but now I see that he was absolutely despicable.
Upon seeing this, Qi Ming approached me,
“Hey, you stupid woman, what are you doing accusing our Brother Zhou? Are you blind? You’re just spew nonsense! Everything in this mansion is not some inheritance of the Song family. Song Shixiong, that old dog, is nothing but a murderer and arsonist. Everything here is stolen by him…”
“Lies! To defend Gu Yuanzhou, you distort the truth!! It’s clearly Gu Yuanzhou who has taken other people’s things, it’s him!”
“Ha, you are such a fool. Do you think that old fool Song is so good? Would he really give property to Gu Yuanzhou? That old man suffered a business failure in Northern Myanmar, and it was our Brother Zhou who guaranteed him a loan of several hundred million. Now that old dog Song has run away, leaving the debt on Brother Zhou, is he wrong to take Song family’s house?”
“Nonsense, my uncle was kidnapped, he didn’t run away!”
Exactly, how could he run away?
His wife and son are still in China, and Wu Lijuan’s health is not good, she has heart problems.
There’s no way he would abandon them and flee!
“Heh, stupid B! How could Song have been kidnapped, he’s sold the Huaxin Group and fled to the United States. You lot, so pitifully stupid, got sold and still here helping him count money?”
Qi Ming yelled loudly, one hand on his hip, pointed accusingly at me.
I didn’t believe a single word of what he bellowed out.
Wouldn’t I know what kind of person my uncle is?
Although my uncle did have gold mining business in Northern Myanmar, he would never necessitate a guarantee from Gu Yuanzhou.
And he would never mortgage the house to Gu Yuanzhou and flee on his own.
He was clearly kidnapped!
“Enough!”
Gu Yuanzhou stood up and softly stopped Qi Ming.
Qi Ming twisted his neck to look at me and continued to rant, his face red with rage.
“What kind of person are you? Back then, you betrayed Brother Zhou and sided with the Ding family. If it were up to me, I would have killed you a long time ago. It’s just that Brother Zhou is kindhearted and spared your life, and you take it for granted. That’s enough, security, get this woman out of here.”
“You are nothing more than Gu Yuanzhou’s dog, what right do you have to scold me here?”
Under my breath, I cursed Qi Ming.
Unexpectedly, this angered him.
Just then, he saw Mrs. Wu holding the purple clay pot; with no hesitation, he grabbed the pot from her hands and smashed it to the ground.
The pot shattered into pieces…
“Oh, my pot. It was the mistress’s favorite, she always enjoyed drinking porridge from this pot, and now it’s completely ruined.”
Mrs. Wu sat on the floor, holding the fragments and crying out loud.
Qi Ming annoyingly told the security,
“Get this old lady out of here too, the mansion is now named Gu, not Song. Don’t let any riff-raff in here! Hear me?”
Upon hearing this, the security guard quickly came over and forcibly dragged Mrs. Wu away, who was sitting on the floor.
This scene made me furious, I pointed my trembling finger at Qi Ming,
“Qi Ming, listen well, you will regret everything you’ve done here today.”
Qi Ming, wearing a flowery shirt and sunglasses, deliberately swaggered over to me and grabbed my collar.
“What are you? Dare to threaten me? You believe that I won’t make you regret this right now…”
While one of his hands was gripping my collar, the other was on its way to hit my face.
Just as his slap was about to land,
Gu Yuanzhou’s voice chimed in time,
“Stop! Don’t cause any more trouble. Let her go!”
Only then did Qi Ming let go,
“Pah, I won’t argue with you out of consideration that you still have some use to Brother Zhou. Listen clear, if you provoke me next time, I won’t let you off. I don’t hold back against women, so I can still hit.”
After saying that, he walked up to Gu Yuanzhou, completely ignoring my presence, or perhaps they just didn’t consider me worthy of being Song Yun!
So, they discussed the plan to divide the Song family’s assets right in front of me, without any guard up against me.
“Brother Zhou, I heard that the old lady and younger son of the Song family have gone to Qingshan Temple, why not bring the older son back too and settle everything at once?”
Upon hearing those words, I almost passed out. I didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to act so quickly, he had already targeted Song Zexi and Wu Lijuan.
Gu Yuanzhou slowly closed the book in his hands, and his dark eyes glanced at me.
That casual look was filled with deep implications.
Then, he slowly stood up, patted Qi Ming on the shoulder, “It’s also due to the help of you brothers that we could seize this mansion, you’ve worked hard. The pieces here will stay for now, I will calculate the bonus according to their prices later. For the following plan, I want to think about it for a few more days. You guys can go and have fun, I’ll contact you later.”
“Alright, Brother Zhou keeps his word, we’re leaving!”
With a wave, Qi Ming took his gang and left.
Soon, only Gu Yuanzhou and I were left in the hall.
Gu Yuanzhou slowly walked over to me, his hand gently brushed away the loose strands of hair on my forehead.
“Do you really want to save the Song Family?”
