When Gu Ning heard this, she wanted to leave this suffocating place as soon as possible.

She nodded quickly, showing a rare meekness: "Well, then I'll wait for you in the room."

Gu Shinan ordered the housekeeper who brought them in just now to take them to the small living room upstairs to rest.

Gu Ning was sitting alone on the sofa in the small living room, feeling a little bored. He looked at the vase on the coffee table, pulled out a flower, and then pulled off the petals one by one.

At this time, a girl came over with a plate of washed fruit and placed it on the table: "Sister, eat some fruit."

Hearing this, Gu Ning raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl wore a turtleneck sweater and light-colored jeans on her lower body. Her hair was spread casually, and she looked like a good girl.

Gu Ning smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

The girl stood aside and looked at Gu Ning, looking timid. Seeing that she was still not leaving, Gu Ning couldn't help but said, "My name is Gu Ning, what's your name?"

"Su Yue, I grew up in Gu's family."

When Gu Ning heard this, she couldn't help but feel curious: "Then do you know Gu Shinan?"

Su Yue nodded: "I know, the fourth brother returned to the Gu family three years ago, but he suddenly left Yanjing some time ago and only came back these days."

Gu Ning listened to Su Yue's address to Gu Shinan and couldn't help but wonder about Gu Shinan's situation in her family.

Before she could ask, a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes came over, pointed at Su Yue's nose and yelled: "You little bitch, what are you doing hiding here? Go to the front hall to help, your fourth brother I’m back, go help greet me.”

Su Yue nodded quickly: "I understand, I'll go there now."

Su Yue didn't even have time to greet Gu Ning, so she hurried towards the front hall.

Gu Ning looked at the woman in front of her. The girl looked to be in her forties, with delicate makeup, and a particularly eye-catching pair of red lips.

She stood in front of Gu Ning, looked at Gu Ning up and down, and then said with contempt: "I thought you were some kind of guy who asked Gu Shinan to take you home regardless of my family's objections."

Gu Ning couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

She has never been a submissive person, so she directly counterattacked: "Auntie, don't you know it's very rude of you to do this?"

The other party's face became a little ugly, and then he thought of something, and sat on the sofa opposite Gu Ning, admiring his newly made bright red nails, and said casually: "Do you know what day it is today for the Gu family?"

Gu Ning said nothing, obviously waiting for the other party's next words.

The woman continued: "Today was the day that Gu Shinan took over the entire Gu family, but unfortunately he insisted on stepping on the old man's bottom line, and now the old man is angry."

Gu Ning couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"The Gu family chose a suitable marriage partner for Gu Shinan, but he refused, saying that he already had someone he liked."

Gu Ning couldn't help but froze for a moment after hearing what the other party said. Before she could speak, Su Yue ran over in a panic and said to the woman: "Madam, it's not good. The old man has fainted. Hurry up and take a look." .”

Hearing this, the woman stood up slowly, then raised her hand and slapped the man in the face: "You are so panicked, you want to scare me to death."

Su Yue was beaten so hard that she lowered her head, biting her lower lip in grievance without saying a word.

When Gu Ning saw this, he stood up immediately, pulled Su Yue behind him, and looked up at him: "Why do you hit someone?"

The other party's face turned cold: 'What? As the mistress of the Gu family, I have to look at your face when I beat someone. You haven't even entered the door of my Gu family and you are already taking care of things? "

When Gu Ning heard this, her expression was not very good. Just as she was about to speak, Su Yue grabbed her wrist and shook her head at her.

Gu Ning looked at her forbearing look and knew that if he helped her out today, Su Yue would definitely not have a good life in this family in the future.

She could only say sorry in a low voice.

The woman walked downstairs proudly on her high heels.

After the other party left, Gu Ning said, "Are you okay?"

Su Yue shook her head: "It's okay, sister, thank you."

"Who is that woman?

Su Yue told Gu Ning about the situation of the family.

That person's name is Chen Man, she is Mr. Gu's wife, but she is not his first wife. Mr. Gu is already over eighty years old, and Su Man is only in her early thirties. The old man brought her back two years ago.

It is said that he and Mr. Gu have already received the certificate.

The old man was a romantic when he was young, and Gu Shinan was the illegitimate son of the old man who was living abroad at that time.

Because he was the fourth eldest son in the Gu family, Su Yue called him fourth brother.

Gu Ning understood. No wonder Chen Man just said that she was the mistress of this family.

But Gu Ning was a little surprised. This man looked to be at least forty years old, but he didn't expect that he was only in his early thirties.

Gu Ning looked at Su Mian, her cheeks were already swollen.

Gu Ning said, "Do you work here?"

Su Yue shook her head: "No, I was brought back from the orphanage by the old man and raised in this family since I was a child."

"Then why would Chen Man do this to you?"

Logically speaking, Su Yue is considered a young lady of the Gu family, so Chen Man should not dare to bully her.

When Su Yue heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.

When Gu Ning saw this, he suddenly panicked: "Don't cry. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'm just asking casually."

Su Yue whispered thank you.

Gu Ning shook his head: "You're welcome. Is your face okay? Why don't you apply ice on it? It's swollen."

Su Yue shook her head: "I'm fine. I have to go down later. The old man fainted and everything down there was a mess."

"what happened?"

Su Yue raised her eyes to look at Gu Ning, hesitated and said, "Fourth brother said he wanted to marry you back home, but the old man didn't agree, and they had a quarrel, so..."

Needless to say, Gu Ning probably guessed it.

That night, Gu Ning and Gu Shinan stayed at home and did not go back.

Because of what happened in the evening, Gu Ning stayed in the bedroom and did not go out. Even dinner was brought to her by Su Yue.

Gu Ning asked while eating: "How is the old man?"

"It's in the study. Fourth brother is also still in the study."

Gu Ning's hand paused, and her mind unconsciously thought of the whip marks she saw on Gu Shinan's back this morning.

She said: "Does the old man know how to hit people?"

Su Yue paused, lowered her head and said nothing.

She didn't say it, but Gu Ning probably guessed it.

"Where is the study? Can you take me there?"

Hearing this, Su Yue shook her head repeatedly: "No, fourth brother asked me to take good care of you. Just wait for him here and stop running around."

But now Gu Ning couldn't sit still at all and insisted on Su Yue taking her to the study.

"Just take me there. Don't worry. When Gu Shinan asks, you will just say that I insist on you taking me there."

Su Yue hesitated: "But..."

"You don't want your fourth brother to be beaten, do you?"

This sentence made Su Yue compromise, and she nodded slightly: "Then I will take you there, but if fourth brother pursues it..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Ning answered: "Don't worry, he won't pursue it."
