These news naturally caught the attention of Old Master Gu as well, and he questioned Gu Chen if he was truly in love.
Gu Chen came clean, "Yes!"
Lately, Old Master Gu had been very dissatisfied with his grandson. Although it was his own son who had committed the misdeeds first, and Gu Chen was merely trying to protect the family's many years of hard work, in the end, blood was thicker than water—both the palm and the back of the hand were flesh!
He blamed Gu Chen for not discussing the matter with him beforehand instead of resorting to this most terrible method, allowing his own uncle to be tried in a public court.
After having given Gu Chen a scolding, Gu Yao, his only daughter, also came to plead on Gu Chen's behalf.
In this family, aside from Gu Yan, Gu Yao was the only one left who could be considered somewhat rational.
