Gu Minglu looked at his mother, not understanding what was going on.
Qiao Xiguan let go of Gu Minglu without saying a word.
"It was me who pushed Gu Minglu," Gu Mingyue suddenly spoke up.
She looked at Gu Yaoqi and said, word by word, "I don't like Gu Minglu, so I pushed him..."
"Slap!" Gu Yaoqi's hand fiercely slapped Gu Mingyue's face.
Gu Mingyue had never been punished like this before, and tears immediately fell from her eyes, but she bit her lip, stubbornly making no sound.
Gu Minglu, upon seeing Gu Mingyue being hit, quickly tried to stand up.
Qiao Xiguan held onto Gu Minglu and whispered in his ear, "Don't speak."
"But..."
"Be obedient," Qiao Xiguan's voice became stern.
Gu Minglu bit his lip, not understanding why things were this way, but still obediently kept silent and didn't open his mouth again.
