Chapter 8: You Hit My Son, You Will Have to Pay the Price

"President Li, I have come this time regarding your son. What happened yesterday was a mistake on our Gu family's part. My daughter and I are willing to apologize to you, and we only hope that you can be lenient and not hold a grudge against us."

Gu Yunxiao was even more desperate and mentioned this matter again.

If Li Yun was truly unwilling to let it go, then the Gu family would be in serious danger.

Although Li Yun had already hinted at something during their earlier chess game.

"With your dominant style and way of acting,"

Gu Yunxiao knew that this matter might not be resolved so easily.

However, for the sake of the Gu family, even if Li Yun demanded a high price, Gu Yunxiao would have to accept it.

Li Yun did not respond to Gu Yunxiao but looked at Gu Yanran and said, "I don't know how my useless son managed to upset Miss Gu. Even if Miss Gu didn't like him, she could have simply kicked him out; why did she have to break his legs?"

As he said this, he showed a look of confusion, as if he didn't understand Gu Yanran's behavior.

Seeing this, Gu Yanran quickly explained, "President Li, there has been a misunderstanding. I only had the guard throw Li Mingshun out, I didn't have him break his legs."

Upon hearing Gu Yanran's words, Li Yun stood up furiously, banging the table, and said grimly:

"Misunderstanding?"

"My son has broken legs because of your people and is still in the hospital."

"Do you think I did this to slander you and intentionally broke his legs?"

"When you hit a dog, you must look at the owner. My son, even if he is useless, is still my son, and I, Li Yun, will not allow anyone to bully him."

Gu Yunxiao and Gu Yanran were taken aback by the threatening atmosphere of Li Yun and, for a moment, did not know what to say.

They were deeply shocked; Li Yun's presence was too overwhelming. Although Gu Yunxiao had navigated the business world and faced many storms, in front of Li Yun, he felt like an ant, almost breathless.

On the other hand, Gu Yanran was not as surprised. Her father had been a soldier and had his own pride; he had never submitted to anyone.

However, in front of Li Yun, both father and daughter always felt inferior and could only look up to him.

After a while, Gu Yunxiao regained his composure and said fearfully: "President Li, the incident with your son is a mistake of our Gu family. We are willing to accept punishment and compensation; I only ask you to forgive us this time."

There was no other option; Gu Yunxiao did not want to bow his head.

But he was not alone; he also had a wife, a daughter, and family. Thinking of them, Gu Yunxiao could not help but lower his head.

Who is Li Yun? He is the richest man in Jinling, the head of the major families in Jinling; bowing to him would not be a disgrace.

"This situation, although there are mistakes, is the fault of that damned guard. I only asked him to throw Li Mingshun out; who knew he would do something like this?"

"Yanran, stop talking; this is a mistake of our Gu family."

Gu Yanran wanted to explain and tell Li Yun the truth, but her father interrupted her.

Li Mingshun has broken legs, a matter so serious; even if they have nothing to do with it, do they think that firing that guard will allow them to escape unscathed?

Is this matter so simple?

"This…"

Gu Yanran pouted, still feeling a bit of disagreement.

Clearly, this matter was a mistake of that damned guard, who did not know what he was doing and ended up hurting Li Mingshun, and now her Gu family has to bear the blame.

Certainly, Gu Yanran now began to resent Mo Bufan.

She had only asked Mo Bufan to throw Li Mingshun out, but he, on the other hand, had the bright idea of breaking his legs.

Li Mingshun is the only son of Li Yun; not even she would dare to treat him that way. That damned Mo Bufan, how dare he do something like that?

"Ding! Due to the host's actions, Gu Yanran hates Mo Bufan; the host steals 30 luck points from Mo Bufan, and the host also gains 3000 villain points."

"The guest currently has 150 luck points and 11,000 villain points."

Upon hearing the system notification, Li Yun felt moved; had she already started to hold a grudge against him?

The best part was yet to come; since he dared to offend him, he would make them doubt their very lives.

"Gu, you are still a reasonable person. Well, regardless of who did this, I'll say one thing: I will only go and cause trouble for you, the Gu family!"

Li Yun wanted to make it clear that he had control over them.

In fact, upon hearing this, even Gu Yanran felt a bit discouraged.

"President Li, what conditions do you need to be lenient and let us go? Money or benefits? Just say it, and we will fulfill it."

Gu Yunxiao knew that his Gu family would definitely bleed a lot this time.

"You broke my son's legs and now you want me to forgive you; is it that easy?"

"Money or benefits? Do you think that with my current position, I can't obtain them?"

"Besides, are my son's legs worth just a little money?"

Li Yun started to laugh coldly; did they think they could try to bribe him with money? Were they underestimating his understanding of money?

"Then, I wonder what the intention of Mr. Li is?" Gu Yunxiao asked cautiously.

"Since this matter arose because of Miss Gu, it should naturally be resolved by her as well."

"Impossible! I don't like Li Mingshun, and even less will I marry him; so don't get your hopes up."

Upon hearing that the resolution depended on her, Gu Yanran thought of something and, without thinking, stood up to say it.

Li Yun's face darkened. What kind of conversation is this? When did I say that I wanted her to marry Li Mingshun?

But upon reflection, given how she treated Li Mingshun, if he didn't ask for compensation from the Gu family, could it only be that he wanted to pair Li Mingshun with Gu Yanran?

However, this time, Gu Yanran was completely wrong in her thinking.

Would he really care about such a useless son?

Li Yun did not plan to let the protagonist slip away; even if his son had an interest in her, it would be of no use.

Since Gu Yanran thought this way, Li Yun had no desire to explain anything to her, and continuing with her argument, he said: "What aspect of my son, Li Yun, is unsuitable for you, Gu Yanran? Is it that my Li family is not as good as your Gu family, or is my son a cripple, a fool, unworthy of you, the princess Gu Yanran?"

"No, I just…"

Gu Yanran had not finished speaking when Gu Yunxiao interrupted her again: "Mr. Li has misunderstood; it is our Yanran who has a bad temper and is not worthy of your son."

Li Yun already had a very negative opinion of both father and daughter; if Gu Yanran said something bad about Li Mingshun, it would be like adding fuel to the fire.
