Chapter 279 Qin Fang’s Crooked Thoughts (1)
That night, the story of how Miss Guh Siyi of the Guh Family, five years ago, attempted to drug someone and was caught by Gu Yelin who then broke her wrist and threw her out of the bar, spread like wildfire across Xuandu City and became the talk of the town in every household. Meanwhile, the incident that occurred in the trading hall that afternoon had also been exaggerated and spread around, casting the Guh family in a shamefully negative light.
Guh Family Mansion
"Bang!—" A loud noise erupted from Guh Tian’s study, causing the servant outside to shiver and their heart to tighten in fear.
Inside the study, Guh Tian sat in the master’s seat, his face red with fury, glaring at Guh Siqing who stood before him. A huge handprint was clearly imprinted on the desk beside him, presumably left in his rage.
"You damned fool!" Guh Tian roared like an enraged lion, his fierce glare intensifying as he shouted, "I sent you to attend the Jade Stone Association! But what did you do? You disgraced the Guh Family completely! In just a few hours, you’ve caused so much trouble! Why don’t you just drop dead!" As he spoke, Guh Tian picked up a hardcover book from the desk and savagely threw it at Guh Siqing.
Guh Siqing stood still with her head bowed, rigidly receiving the hardcover book. Its sharp edges inflicted a painful blow to her shoulder, gradually staining her light-colored clothes with a spreading patch of red blood.
"Grandfather, I’m sorry. It was my mistake." Guh Siqing apologized softly, smart enough to know that defying Guh Tian now would lead to no good.
"Sorry? Can an apology restore the Guh Family’s dignity?!" Guh Tian’s anger was not mitigated by his granddaughter’s apology; he banged the desk vigorously, as if the desk were Guh Siqing herself.
