Chapter 181: Chapter 161: Especially Handsome Today_2
"President Gu." Qiao Yu’s voice softened a bit.
Gu Linhai looked at him for two seconds, then politely said, "Are you Mr. Qiao?"
Qiao Yu nodded slightly.
Gu Linhai clearly had some fire suppressed in his heart but due to Gu Yanjing’s sake, he had to be polite, "Mr. Qiao, I don’t know what Dong Qian did to provoke such a big reaction from both Mr. Qiao and Yu Xian."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, just about to speak, when Qiao Yu pulled her behind him.
"My wife is in the hospital, with seven stitches on her head, two broken ribs, and more injuries than I can count." Qiao Yu said coldly, "All thanks to Dong Qian."
Gu Yanjing looked over at Dong Qian.
Gu Linhai frowned.
Dong Qian was lying on the ground, hands clutching his neck, hoarsely saying, "She deserved it. Can’t even educate her own son, behaving like a little thug in school hitting my son. Qiao Yu, let me give you a word of advice, it’s best to divorce such a wife early."
Qiao Yu’s gaze fell on him, and he suddenly stepped forward.
But just as he moved, Gu Linhai was quicker and kicked Dong Qian in the thigh: "Shut up."
A kick that didn’t hurt, yet stopped Qiao Yu from moving forward.
Gu Linhai had to give face to Gu Yanjing, and Qiao Yu had to think about Qiao Yuxian. He also had to give face to the Gu family.
"Second Uncle. Sorry, I got a bit carried away with anger and didn’t greet you." Qiao Yuxian suddenly spoke with a smile.
Gu Linhai looked at her, also smiling on his face, "We’re all family, no need to mind so much."
Qiao Yuxian smiled, "Just now he called you brother-in-law, I thought he was randomly shouting to make me stop. But now I’ve come to realize a bit more, you do seem to be related."
Everyone in this room was very astute, all listening to Qiao Yuxian’s nonsense.
She clearly saw them when she came in, yet said nothing, not even a greeting, and started hitting. She was afraid that if she greeted, spoke, or recognized relations, that would completely ruin the facade.
Now this way, at least they can still play dumb and maintain a superficial peace.
And this superficial peace is also because Qiao Yuxian doesn’t know which side Gu Yanjing will stand on, giving them a bit of a leeway in between.
She didn’t know what kind of status Gu Linhai had in Gu Yanjing’s heart.
If she wanted to act against Dong Qian, Gu Linhai would definitely protect him like this.
Then she and Gu Linhai would be on opposing sides.
Compared to love and family...
Gu Linhai smiled, "He is my wife’s cousin."
"Oh, is that so." Qiao Yuxian said apologetically, "I didn’t know."
Gu Yanjing looked at her with an apologetic expression.
Qiao Yuxian also said, "Second Uncle, here’s the situation. Dong Qian’s son is in the same class with my brother. His son curses my brother every day, not only my brother but also my father and his mother. My brother only disciplined him a bit for President Dong."
Since Qiao Yuxian called out to Gu Linhai, Dong Qian didn’t make a sound and didn’t dare to look at the Qiao father and daughter.
"And President Dong’s son even broke his own tooth," Qiao Yuxian said. "This child lacks discipline at home, my brother disciplined him a bit for President Dong. Instead of showing gratitude with gifts, President Dong retaliated against my family, putting them in the hospital. What kind of reasoning is that?"
Gu Linhai looked at her and smiled, "It is indeed Dong Qian’s fault, we will definitely come and apologize."
Meng Yan stood by, head down, listening. He could feel that this second master was suffocating inside, yet he dared not get angry. Even if not getting angry, no one takes his side.
Qiao Yuxian continued, "Small squabbles between children are normal. Kids may not understand much, and adults follow suit. At such an age, doing such things doesn’t just disgrace the Dong family; it also disgraces those related."
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
She wasn’t satisfied with just hitting him, she had to humiliate him, leaving no one untouched.
Gu Linhai smiled, saying nothing.
Qiao Yuxian smiled at him, then looked at Dong Qian, "President Dong, as I’ve said, the amulet behind you doesn’t work for me. You’d better behave for everyone’s sake."
Dong Qian curled up on the ground, saying nothing.
Qiao Yuxian retracted her gaze, looked at Gu Linhai, then glanced at Gu Yanjing before saying to Qiao Yu, "Dad, should we go home?"
Qiao Yu looked at Dong Qian’s state but said nothing more, "Let’s go."
"Hmm." Qiao Yuxian nodded to Gu Linhai, gave Gu Yanjing a glance before turning around.
But just after two steps, Gu Yanjing grabbed her.
Qiao Yuxian stopped and looked at him.
Gu Yanjing’s eyes showed some tension, he asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the hospital," Qiao Yuxian replied.
"Will you come back tonight?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, after a few seconds, she said, "Le Chu was frightened; I’ll stay with her tonight."
Qiao Yu stood by, not interfering with their matters.
Gu Yanjing looked at her, paused, and let go of her hand.
Qiao Yuxian said, "Call an ambulance for him, I don’t want to be responsible if he dies from pain."
"Okay," Gu Yanjing replied.
Qiao Yuxian called out, "Meng Yan," then tossed the car keys from her pocket to him, "The car’s out front."
Meng Yan caught the keys, "Yes."
Qiao Yuxian glanced at Gu Yanjing again, then left the room with Qiao Yu.
The door to the room opened, and Qiao Yuxian was a bit taken aback by the scene outside.
More than twenty bodyguards, all laid out on the ground.
She twitched her lips and looked at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu coughed lightly, rolling down his shirt sleeves, "Not bad, haven’t lost my touch."
Qiao Yuxian never knew her father could fight like this, especially at fifty.
These were professional bodyguards.
The room was well soundproofed, she missed quite a thrilling scene.
Qiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed being stared at by her, tidied his shirt and said, "Let’s go."
Qiao Yuxian followed him.
After they walked a bit, Qiao Yu picked up his coat from the ground.
Putting on the coat, he pulled out his glasses from his pocket and put them on.
The fierceness disappeared, and he once again appeared gentle.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, wondering who would believe all these people were put down by him.
After a while, Qiao Yuxian gave him a thumbs up, "Dad, you were so cool today."
Qiao Yu was stunned by the compliment, then felt like laughing. But thinking that laughing might undermine his authority, he coughed and said in a steady tone, "When am I not cool?"
Qiao Yuxian chuckled, walking with him outside, "Cool, but especially today."
Qiao Yu couldn’t hold it in and let out a laugh.
Qiao Yuxian smiled too.
