Chapter 373 Don't Let Shen Xian Know About Today's Incident_2

Gu Chen spoke swiftly, his tone unwavering and his eyes reflecting an unprecedented stubbornness.

Ever since he was young, everyone had followed Grandfather's words without question. Although he had never rebelled, he generally upheld other elders' excellent traditions in the family and held Grandfather in high regard.

"Slap!"

The old man didn't hesitate to sweep his cane across Gu Chen's leg, "Do you know who you're speaking to?"

Gu Chen's voice had indeed been louder due to his emotional state. In the old man's eyes, this was undoubtedly a provocation, a challenge to his absolute authority.

"Grandfather!"

Ignoring the pain in his leg, Gu Chen stared steadily at the elder, repeating, "You can hit me, you can scold me. But on the matter of Shen Xian, I will not compromise."

The patriarch's face swelled red with anger. He stared at Gu Chen for a long while, seeing his resolute attitude and determined eyes, his own eyes flaring with even greater rage.
