Chapter 31
Arranged Marriage
Gu Ming absolutely despised Gu Zhi in his mind, but now he could only force Gu Zhi to apologize. In a low voice, he said, “Apologize quickly, otherwise, I will force you into arranged marriage.”
Gu Zhi didn’t understand why everything turned wrong. After she heard Gu Ming’s threatening words, her face turned pale, and she had to bow her head and say, “I’m sorry!”
However, as the words came out, tears welled up in Gu Zhi’s eyes. She felt as if she could already hear the laughter of many people whom she had previously looked down upon, all mocking her now.
Gu Dai had no intention of pushing Gu Zhi to a dead end either. Although she had already seen the hatred hidden deep in her pupils, she had no intention of arguing with her at this moment.
After all, if they start arguing now, it wouldn’t be fun in the future.
“Fine, I’ll reluctantly accept the apology.” Gu Dai said, with indifference in her tone, and then she continued, “By the way, it’s getting late, you should leave.”
Liu Min’s face stiffened again when she heard Gu Dai’s words. She remembered the limited-edition items she had just thrown on the ground. Even if she sold them now, they could fetch a good price.
Not to mention, Gu Ming needed to transfer funds and it would take some time. If she sold those things, they might be able to tide over this period.
Liu Min thought that since she had already lost face, why would it matter if she asked for her things back and lost face again?
However, it only took Gu Dai one glance at Liu Min to understand what she was thinking by the changes in her expression.
Since she had already guessed it, there was even less of a chance that Liu Min would get her way.
Therefore, Gu Dai spoke first, not even giving Liu Min a chance to respond.
“Uncle Wu, how did you deal with the trash I asked you to handle earlier?” When Gu Dai mentioned the word trash, she casually glanced at Liu Min.
However, Liu Min was entirely focused on Wu Zhen’s answer and did not notice this.
Wu Zhen said, “Miss, those things should have already arrived at the dump by now.”
“That fast?!” Liu Min could hardly believe it.
Wu Zhen replied, in Liu Min’s exclamation, without diverting his gaze, “Of course, we must complete Miss’s orders at the fastest speed.”
At this time, Gu Dai also spoke with a smile, “Does aunt also think that Uncle Wu arranged it well?”
Liu Min’s face darkened when she heard Gu Dai’s question, but she had to reluctantly say, “Of course.”
“If aunt also thinks it’s good, then I’m relieved. After all, I was helping you handle the trash.” Gu Dai paused warmly to give Liu Min some time, then continued, “By the way, if aunt and uncle don’t have anything else to do, you should go home. After all, everything is dusty now, and you’ll need to clean up.”
Gu Dai’s intention to dismiss them was crystal clear. They had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
However, before leaving, Gu Ming looked deeply at Gu Dai, his eyes filled with hatred.
He gritted his teeth and swore in his mind that once he had transferred all the funds of the Gu Group, he would never let Gu Dai off the hook.
Once the Gu Ming family left, the onlookers, who had been enjoying the spectacle, also left satisfied.
Gu Ming once had power and influence, acting high and mighty every day. Seeing them down on their luck now, people were overjoyed. Their only wished that they could celebrate on the spot.
After everyone left, Gu Dai looked at Wu Zhen, her eyes slightly red, in a hoarse voice, she said, “Uncle Wu, you’ve been treated unfairly for the past three years.”
By rights, Uncle Wu could have left long ago. When her parents signed a contract with him, they did not place any restrictions on him, and even considered him as part of the family. However, they never thought he would be treated this way one day.
Seeing Gu Dai’s red eyes, Wu Zhen quickly reassured, “It’s alright, it’s alright, I’m fine.”
Despite Wu Zhen’s words, Gu Dai’s mood did not improve.
Seeing this, Wu Zhen quickly changed the topic, “It’s alright, Miss, don’t cry. By the way, many of your parents’ belongings were hidden by me in a secret room. Would you like to take a look?”
