nRespecting the Elderly Is My Core Value

nCrash!

nSome had smashed the plaque?

nWho had the audacity to smash the plaque at the gate of the Gu family?

nAnd at a time when the Gu family was in the spotlight!

nGu Zhicheng’s anger flared up instantly, slamming the table as he stood up. “Who did this?”

n“It’s a woman.”

nA woman?

n“I want to see who this audacious woman is!” Gu Zhicheng turned to the man beside him, giving a slight bow. “Mr. Liu, please stay here for a moment. Someone outside is causing trouble without knowing their place. I’ll go handle it.”

nBefore leaving, Gu Zhicheng instructed Gu Jinrong to properly entertain Mr. Liu.

nOutside the gate of the Gu family, a crowd had gathered.

nA carriage was parked among the people, with a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white sitting inside.

nA few guards of the Gu family lay in front of the carriage.

nThe plaque of the Gu family was broken into several pieces, scattered on the ground.

nA man in black approached the carriage and respectfully said, “Master, should we replace it with the plaque we brought?”

nThe woman raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Replace it.”

nThe man in black waved his hand, and several servants standing nearby immediately took action.

n“Who dares to be so audacious, to come to my Gu family and cause trouble!”

nAn angry roar came from the door.

nGu Zhicheng, who was dressed in a long robe, flew out of the door. His aura was shocking, and the hem of his robe fluttered fiercely.

nGu Zhicheng, clad in a flowing robe, swiftly emerged from the gates, emanating a formidable aura as his robes billowed with intensity. His furious gaze immediately landed on the shattered Gu family plaque strewn on the ground, narrowing his eyes in rage. His flared nostrils showcased his seething anger.

nWith lightning-like speed, his sharp, tiger-like eyes swept across the scene, catching sight of the person ascending the ladder and another carrying a different plaque. A chilling intent to kill erupted from within him as he swung his hand, unleashing a powerful force.

nBoom!

nThe formidable energy clashed with another palm strike, dissipating into the air.

nGu Zhicheng’s expression turned solemn.

nThere was a formidable opponent!

nFinally, his attention fell upon the woman seated in the carriage.

nAs he recognized her face, his pupils abruptly contracted.

n“It’s you! Gu Qingluan, you’re really not dead!”

n“Since the head of the Gu family is still alive, I won’t dare to die before youI’ve always respected my elders.”

nGu Qingluan looked up and smiled faintly. Her dark eyes were filled with killing intent.

nTowards this father, she felt no emotional attachment.

nIn her recollection, he had never displayed even a shred of parental love towards the original owner.

nDespite being the esteemed eldest daughter of the Gu family, her life was inferior to that of the lowliest servant.

nIf not for Gu Zhicheng’s leniency, how could it have come to this?

nFurthermore…

nThe original owner’s mother had met her demise at the hands of this man!

nSuch a despicable man, worse than a pig or a dog, she couldn’t bear to lay her eyes on him without feeling nauseated.

n“Pfft! Is this how you show respect for your elders?”

nThe onlookers couldn’t help but chuckle.

n“Who is this girl? She’s so audacious, daring to speak to the head of the Gu family like that.”

n“Just now, I heard Gu Zhicheng calling her Gu Qingluan. She was once the legitimate daughter of the Gu family but was expelled five years ago. It’s unbelievable how the former useless miss has become so interesting.”

n“Rebellious girl! Kneel down immediately!”

nGu Zhicheng shouted angrily, his face contorting with rage. His resentful gaze locked onto the woman before him, as if she were not his own flesh and blood, but an enemy.

nGu Qingluan tilted her head, expressing surprise. “Has the head of the Gu family forgotten that your daughter is currently at the Qiankun Academy? If you want to reprimand her, go to the academy and do so. Why are you shouting at me, an outsider?”

n“Even if you were expelled from the Gu family, the blood running through your veins is that of the Gu family, my seed! I have the right to discipline you, and I won’t tolerate your defiance! Seize her!”

nThe Gu family servants behind him immediately rushed forward.

nAnother group of people confronted the servants head-on.

nAfter a moment, the last remaining guard of the Gu family fell to the ground.

nGu Zhicheng had no idea where Gu Qingluan had found these thugs, and he seethed with anger, veins popping on his forehead. “This is outrageous! This is outrageous! As a father, I will personally teach you, this unfilial daughter, a lesson today!”
