Chapter 813: Conflict (20)
Gu Qianru instinctively said, “Impossible! You’re all his important relatives!”
“After what we’ve done, Uncle will no longer treat us as family. Think of it like this: if Uncle found a woman for my father to cheat with and had him divorce you, would you still treat Uncle as family?”
Gu Qianru: “...”
“The relationship between family members can only be maintained through mutual sacrifice. If you hurt someone else, no one would be foolish enough to still treat you as family.”
Gu Chenyi knew all this, but he still chose to go through with it.
He had never thought that he would end up like this with his uncle one day. He did not want to do such a thing either, but... in this world, he could give up on anything except Xiao Huan. In the future, he would atone for his sins and do everything he could for his uncle!
The more Gu Qianru thought about it, the more she felt that her son was right. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Hence, she reached out and grabbed Gu Chenyi’s hand. “Son, then don’t do anything in the future! Just leave it to the Old Master!”
He was everything to her now. Nothing could happen to her precious son!
Gu Chenyi was about to say something.
“What do you mean just leave it to the Old Master?” Bo Huaiyun’s voice rang above their heads.
Gu Qianru immediately tightened her grip on Gu Chenyi’s hand nervously. Gu Chenyi reached out to comfort her before saying calmly, “Mom wants me to take the opportunity to deal with Xiao Huan. I told Mom about the severity of the consequences of dealing with Xiao Huan, and Mom got scared. She told me not to do anything and just let the Old Master do it.”
“Yes, don’t do anything!” Bo Huaiyun pulled out a chair and sat down. He decided to make things more serious so that his wife would completely give up on dealing with Mu Huan.
Mu Huan had almost derailed that business project, but Bo Junyan did not blame her. Even now that she had hurt the Old Master, this matter would probably pass. With this, it could be seen how much Bo Junyan cared about his wife. Even the Old Master, his biological grandfather, could not do anything about it, let alone them. Besides, even if they did not talk about this, they knew Mu Huan was not in the wrong. He could not let his wife do anything wrong.
If Old Master Meng had merely crossed Mu Huan’s two bottom lines, this matter would have passed without Bo Junyan knowing.
However...
Old Master Meng had done such a thing, yet he still refused to let it go.
“I’ve lived for so long, but no one has ever dared to hold a knife to my neck, much less injure me!” Old Master Meng glared fiercely at Mu Huan.
“No matter how much I don’t like you or how much I don’t want you to be my granddaughter-in-law, I’ve never thought of hurting you on Junyan’s account! And you kept saying that you would treat Junyan’s family as your family and would try your best to please me and make me like you, but you didn’t hesitate to be ruthless to me! You even did it twice! You’re too vicious!”
What did it mean to be the first to complain? Old Master Meng was the classic example of such a person.
“Why is only your grandmother considered your relative? Am I not Junyan’s biological grandfather and your mother-in-law’s biological father? How can you be so cruel to me? Even if I was in the wrong first, even if it’s true that I hurt your grandmother, I only had someone hurt her once and you hurt me twice! Am I no better than a stranger or an enemy?
“So if anyone at all wants to deal with you, you have to pay them back double, huh?! I bet you want to use me as an excuse to cause trouble and kill me! That way, no one will object to your being with Junyan. That way, your position as Mrs. Bo will be secure!”
