Chapter 33  : I’ll Apologize To You For Her

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment. She felt that Gu Shen’s words were ridiculous, but at the same time, she felt that they were somehow credible.

However, Gu Shen was remembered by her only as someone who was incapable and had no ambition, so after a moment of panic, Gu Ling became bold again.

“Are you trying to rescue the damsel in distress? Those who don’t know might think that this nephew of mine is the head of the Gu family. Asking me to apologize to her! Do you really think you can make me do that?”

Gu Shen’s eyes were dark and deep and there was no obvious emotion. “You can try. Either apologize or get out of the Gu family.”

His cold words made everyone tremble. They felt an unprecedented feeling of unease.

Gu Ling’s daughter sensed that something was wrong and smiled, “Fourth Brother, we are family, you don’t have to be so serious. My mother was just a little anxious and did not have any bad intentions. I apologize on behalf of her and Fourth Sister-in-law.”

“It came from her mouth so it should be her who makes the apology.”

“It is absurd to ask a senior to apologize to a junior!” Gu Ling glared at her daughter, despising her for taking matters into her own hands.

“Besides, I didn’t hit her for no reason. It was all because something happened to my dad while he was talking to her.”

Gu An harrumphed. “Since you already know that it is a misunderstanding, why are you still not apologizing?”

“I…” Gu Ling was at a loss for words. She could not think of an excuse.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the front door was slammed open.

When Gu Ling saw who it was, her eyes lit up. However, before she could say anything, she was slapped on the face.

Compared to hers, his slap was much, much stronger.

Gu An was surprised by how ruthless her uncle was.

“Apologize to Yan Xi!” Song Li said through gritted teeth.

Gu Ling was stunned. Before she could react, she saw Song Li bowing to Gu Shen in a very humble manner.

“I’m very sorry. I apologize on behalf of my wife. I hope to receive your forgiveness.”

When he bent over, Song Li’s hands were still trembling. He had just found out that this unremarkable Fourth Master of the Gu family was actually the President of Wansheng.

The Song family and Wansheng had just settled a big business deal in which they invested pretty much all their cash. If Wansheng canceled the project, the Song family would end up, in the best scenario, losing a large sum of money.

Although Wansheng would suffer a huge loss too, Song Li did not dare to take the risk when he saw Gu Shen’s fearless look.

This time, not only was Gu Ling stunned but the rest of the people were also stunned.

Although the Song family was not as powerful as the Gu family, he, as the First Master of the Song family, should be much more powerful than Gu Shen. It was to everyone’s surprise that he would apologize to Gu Shen in front of so many people.

“Wrong.” Gu Shen’s tone was cold. “You should apologize to my wife.”

Song Li did not care about his face and bowed to Yan Xi again.

“I’m sorry, Fourth Madam. I hope you can forgive us.”

Looking at Gu Shen’s mocking expression, Gu Ling went black, overwhelmed by shame and humiliation.

She felt like she was a joke now, and her whole family was a joke.

She couldn’t take it anymore. She gritted her teeth and ran out.

The elder daughter was worried that something would happen and followed closely behind.

Song Li also took the opportunity to say, “I’m really sorry. Gu Ling is quite bad-tempered and gets into trouble easily. I’ll go calm her down first. In a few days, I’ll definitely bring her to apologize in person.”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. He did not agree or disagree.

Without his permission, Song Li did not dare to move and stood rooted to the ground.

Yan Xi reached out and tugged Gu Shen’s sleeve.

“Let’s leave it at that.” If this continued, it might not end well.

Gu Shen nodded nonchalantly.

Upon receiving the order, Song Li hurriedly went out.
