nUnwilling

nSu Ting quickly came to his senses, realizing that Gu Dai wanted to speak up for him. Once he realized this, he felt a stream of warmth flowing inside him.

nHowever, he felt that he could handle the current situation.

nSo, Su Ting softly said to Gu Dai, “Don’t worry about me, I can handle it.”

nGu Dai nodded and didn’t say anything more to stop him.

n“I didn’t want to explain earlier because at the villa entrance, your daughter spoke a bunch of random things to me. Then when the door opened, you all started talking without giving me a chance to explain.”

nAt this point, Su Ting spoke with righteous indignation, as if he had been greatly wronged.

n“Yes, yes, yes, we saw that Gu Zhi suddenly went over and kept talking to Su Ting non-stop!” a member of the sisterhood said.

nAs one person spoke up, others chimed in.

nAfter all, they had seen Gu Zhi’s disdainful contempt for them just now and couldn’t help but to take advantage of the situation.

nGu Zhi didn’t expect the situation to turn like this. She was so enraged that her face turned red. Just moments ago, the situation was completely different. If Gu Dai hadn’t returned, her father would still be the company’s chairman, and she wouldn’t be ridiculed!

nGu Zhi glared viciously at Gu Dai, who was standing next to Su Ting, and shouted angrily, “Gu Dai, why didn’t you die on that cruise ship three years ago?!”

nWith Gu Zhi’s words, Su Ting’s gaze became fierce.

nHe wanted to step forward and deal with Gu Zhi, but Gu Dai held him back. Sensing this, he realized that his sister must have other plans, so he could only control his anger for the moment.

nAlthough Su Ting didn’t step forward, Gu Zhi was still slapped in the face.

nThe sound of the slap was particularly loud.

nLiu Min screamed with disbelief in her tone, “Gu Ming, why did you hit Zhizhi?!”

nGu Zhi felt the burning pain on her face, and her head buzzed from the slap. Dazed, she raised her hand to cover her face, staring blankly at Gu Ming without saying a word.

nGu Ming’s face was full of coldness, and he didn’t bother to argue with Liu Min, just glaring at her.

nLiu Min immediately calmed down when she met with Gu Ming’s chilling gaze.

nShe remembered the information she had received in the villa, that the Gu family’s assets were currently being transferred overseas, and they couldn’t afford to offend Gu Dai right now.

nEspecially since Gu Ming’s position as chairman was now a pipedream. Liu Min could only grit her teeth and bear the situation.

nGu Ming hurriedly said to Gu Dai, “Gu Zhi is still young and doesn’t understand. Don’t take her words to heart.”

nGu Dai lightly chuckled at her words, “Hmm, just a few months older than me.”

nGu Dai continued to speak, as she didn’t want their relationship to become strained now.

n“But she’s been spoiled by uncle, you, so it’s not surprising that she’s willful. I won’t hold it against her this time. However, shouldn’t she apologize to me?”

nGu Ming’s face instantly stiffened.

nWhen Gu Dai said that Gu Zhi was willful because she was spoiled, she implied that he didn’t know how to educate his children, causing her to become like this?

nHowever, no matter how angry Gu Ming was now, he couldn’t say it out loud, and it wasn’t the time to discuss this issue. Because Gu Dai was looking at him, waiting for him to take action.

nIn order to buy time to transfer the funds overseas, Gu Ming chose to endure and coldly told Gu Zhi, “Apologize.”

nGu Zhi didn’t want to apologize, and sobbed, “I won’t apologize!”

nLiu Min acted as she quickly comforted Gu Zhi and led her to apologize. She grabbed Gu Zhi’s neck, forcing her to bow and say, “Apologize quickly.”

nBeing forced, Gu Zhi had no choice but to say, “I’m sorry.”

nHowever, when Gu Zhi said this, her voice was full of reluctance, and it was exceptionally quiet.

nGu Dai wasn’t angry by her action, but she just smiled and said, “Gu Zhi seems a bit unwilling. I don’t accept forced apologies.”

n“She’s willing, of course she’s willing!” Gu Ming hurriedly spoke up while he stared Gu Zhi with a threatening look in his eyes.
