The Gu Family's Plight

"What?!! It was Si Yehan who did this?! Has he gone mad?" Gu Jingming bellowed with a belly full of rage.

The other members of the Gu family all had blackened faces. Both Gu Yiming and Guan Ziyao looked like they were ten years older.

Gu Shiyuan's eyes were completely swollen due to her crying too much.

Why wouldn't she? Her company blamed her for everything and took back all her resources. Even the juniors in the company were looking down at her.

She was used to being all high and mighty so how could she stand such?

One day when she was walking out of the company a rookie actress bumped into her and spilled coffee all over her.

She was already frustrated and angry so without thinking twice she slapped the girl hard which caused her to bleed slightly.

The worst part of it all was that someone posted a video of the incident on Weibo and her fans and some netizens have been attacking her.

Her white lotus image has completely gone down the drain and with the ban against her no famous director wants to work with her.

If she wasn't a member of the Gu family they would have probably terminated her contract.

Gu Jingming had rushed back after completing his mission, he was still wearing his military uniform.

His skin was slightly tanned due to staying under the sun, his black hair was slightly disheaveled.

He was handsome and had a masculine aura.

He was fuming with anger "Mom, Dad, Si Yehan has gone too far!!!"

He was really angry. Why wouldn't he be? Their family was in an unfavourable situation although it has been settled, the company lost billions wait no trillions!!!!!

The company was in a dire situation. If it were any other family they would probably be bankrupt by now.

His sister's career has taken a sharp turn. Seriously could this get any worse?

"Master, Madam, Young Masters, Young Miss. Old Master is here."

Gu Jingming's face dropped, he just thought that things couldn't get any worse but it just did!!!

Gu Jingze had the worst expression. He was the one in charge of the company now and anything that happens would be on his head.

An elderly man walked in, he was putting on a Tang suit, he had a head full of grey hair, his face looked stern and there was an inexplicable aura that he had which could only be built over many years.

A maid was trailing behind him along with two bulky men in black.

Gu Yiming and the rest all stood up in unison. Gu Jingze took in a deep breath and walked over "Grandfather, welco--"

Smack!!

A crisp slap landed on Gu Jingze before he could complete his sentence.

"You unfilial wretch!! You dare call me 'grandfather' how could I be so unlucky to have such a grandson!!" Old Master Gu bellowed, his face was red due to anger.

The company he had built from scratch had ended up in such a state. How could he not be angry.

"Dad!"

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"Grandpa!!"

The four shouted in unison. Gu Jingze held his cheek with his head was hung low.

The blood in his mouth tasted bitter, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his skin and blood trickled down slowly.

He didn't say a word nor did he make any sound.

"You.. All of you shut up!! The company I built from scratch has ended up in such a situation and you all could've prevented it!!! This brat is now currently incharge of it yet he allowed such to happen!!!" Old Master Gu yelled, he was like an angry bull.

"Grandpa, it-it wasn't Second Brother's fault i-i'm really sorry i-i-it's all my fault." Gu Shiyuan wept.

In addition to her already swollen eyes she looked really pitiful.

Old Master Gu's heart softened a little, he walked up to her and patted her back "Now, now don't cry Grandpa doesn't blame you, it's all that brat from the Si family's fault. Don't cry okay?"

"B-but it's my fault d-don't hit Second Brother, hit m-me instead, it was I who caused it d-don't blame it on Second Brother" Gu Shiyuan choked on her sobs.

"Alright, Grandpa doesn't blame anyone." Old Master Gu sighed.

He couldn't bear to see her cry. Even if he was still angry he didn't blame anyone and just sat down.

Of course Gu Jingze wouldn't blame her either, he was filled with anger and resentment towards Si Yehan and Si Xia.

He would make sure to deal with them sooner or later.

Si Yehan just you wait!!!

After that short episode, they had dinner together. No one said anything and tension filled the air.

"Ahem dad, how was your trip back?" Gu Yiming tried to start a conversation with the Old Master.

Of course, Old Master Gu completely ignored him and kept placing food into Gu Shiyuan's bowl.

Gu Yiming sighed but didn't say anything else.
