She took a sharp breath, and a guilty expression immediately appeared on her face.
"I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake... I believed too much in other people's words. I'm sorry, parents. I, I shouldn't have doubted Yu'er."
She must apologize.
She still needs to take care of her family.
She must not let the old couple be disappointed in her.
Otherwise, everything you have, your reputation, status, honor... will all be in vain.
Gu Qiang couldn't imagine herself losing her title as the second young lady of the Gu family.
Gu Shengrong said nothing, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Gu Qiang knew that they were angry, so she quickly stepped forward and begged: "Mom and Dad, don't be angry, I will apologize to Yu'er, and I will deal with these two people well. I will never trust others gullibly again."
, Mom and Dad, please forgive me this time, I am also considering the reputation of the Gu family."
Gu Shengrong sneered again, "Are you doing it for the Gu family or for yourself?"
Gu Qiang's heart stopped and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Dad, it's really not the case. You have to believe me. You and Mom are so good to me. How could I do something that would harm the Gu family? I'm just afraid that someone else might want to do something wrong."
"So you mean that I am plotting something evil?" Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me why I am plotting something evil? My surname is Gu, why would I do something detrimental to the Gu family?"
"This..." Gu Qiang gritted her teeth, "I'm sorry Yu'er, it was my aunt who misunderstood. Don't be angry with your aunt. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and we have...
"
"Indeed, it's normal for aunt to have doubts. I understand." Zhao Lang sat back on the stool and looked at her with a faint eyebrow, "Then can aunt's doubts be resolved now?"
"I understand." Gu Qiang nodded quickly, "Oh, I shouldn't have doubted you before. You and my eldest brother look so similar, how could it be false? It's all that old woman's fault."
Gu Qiang glanced at Aunt Zhao fiercely as she spoke, "If she hadn't been gossiping there, how could I have believed it?"
Aunt Zhao had long been frightened to death by the scene in front of her. Now that she was being stared at by Gu Qiang, she dared not speak. She could only stand aside and tremble.
If I had known earlier, she wouldn't have come into this muddy water just for money!
Gu Qiang brought a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Lang.
It was obvious that he wanted to reconcile with him.
"Eldest nephew, just forgive me. If you really can't, I will make it up to you slowly in the future."
Gu Yu took the tea and blew it without saying anything.
Gu Qiang thought that he had agreed to reconcile, and she felt relieved. She clapped her hands and said, "The problem that troubled me has finally been solved. Now our family is really reunited."
Zhao Lang laughed, "That's not enough. If we talk about members, how can we not include cousin Si Yue? Auntie should also bring him today."
Gu Qiang's face hardened, and the smile on her lips suddenly froze, "What are you taking him for?"
"I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. Shouldn't my aunt bring him to reunite with us?"
Zhao Lang's eyes were dark and terrifying, and a thin layer of sweat immediately formed on Gu Qiang's back.
"Si Yue... he is studying abroad now and won't be back for a while."
"Really?" Zhao Lang smiled slightly, rubbing the wrist bone of the other hand with his right hand, and his eyebrows were a little sharper, "Cousin Si Yue has never left my aunt's side since he was born, what happened to my aunt this time?
You are willing to send him so far away from England, don't you miss him?"
Gu Qiang was startled, now she was really panicking.
How did he know that he sent Si Yue to England?!
Does he know everything?!
Zhao Lang took in Gu Qiang's reaction, leaned back in the chair and said calmly: "I think aunt really misses him. No, in order to give aunt a surprise, I invited him back directly."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
Gu Qiang was really frightened by the second half of his words. She shook her body and turned around, looking around wildly, fearing that what Zhao Lang said was true.
But the thing she least wanted to see happened.
He Pingzhang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walked in from the back door calmly, his face still had his iconic squinting expression, and his right hand wearing a white glove was clasping the shoulder of a more familiar person.
Not someone else.
It was Jin Siyue.
Jiang Li thought there would be a follow-up, but he didn't expect it to be such a follow-up.
Jin Siyue's appearance directly brought the atmosphere to a climax, so much so that she didn't even bother to drink the tea in her hand.
No wonder Zhao Lang has always been calm and composed, it turns out he has such a backup plan.
This is exciting.
Jin Siyue, who was held down by He Pingzhang, was much more haggard than the last time she saw him. He was much thinner, had an unshaven beard, the clothes he was wearing were wrinkled, and his face was dark.
It's not like going to England to study, but like going to Africa to work as a coolie.
But it doesn't look like he has any injuries on the outside, but his mental state... is not as good as before.
In such a comparison, He Pingzhang, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes next to him, looks like an elegant British aristocratic gentleman.
The suit is straight and suits the golden proportions of the figure, and the hair is taken care of meticulously.
Although he is already over forty, he still looks in his prime.
Perhaps he noticed Jiang Li's particularly focused eyes. Zhao Lang thought of what happened before and suddenly felt a little unhappy, so he quietly moved a little to block Jiang Li's sight.
Huh, He Pingzhang knew how to stare at him as soon as he came back, right?
Gu Shengrong and his wife looked at several people, some understood the current situation, and some did not.
The old lady first looked at He Pingzhang and spoke.
"Pingzhang? Why are you back? Aren't you on Longji Island?"
He Pingzhang smiled and bowed to the old lady, "Back to the old lady, I was really supposed to stay on the island. Then the young master asked me to come back for dinner today, so I came back. By the way, I brought Young Master Jin to reunite with everyone.
one time."
Gu Qiang's eyes widened, and she stood up suddenly, staring at He Pingzhang pressing Jin Siyue's hand. She wanted to have a seizure, but she could only hold on to the corner of the table to restrain herself.
She took a deep breath and then looked at Zhao Lang.
"Gu Yu, what do you mean? Why are you holding your brother hostage?"
Zhao Lang stretched his legs and slowly took a sip of tea before saying: "I just invited him over for dinner, why is aunt so anxious?"
But Jin Siyue seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and suddenly exploded.
"Mom, Mom, please help me, save me! I didn't even arrive in England, and I was intercepted by this guy just halfway through. I have been imprisoned by him on Longji Island for the past six months. Mom, you know this
How have I lived in the past half year? Oh, oh, oh, mom, please help me!"
He struggled hard, but He Pingzhang's strength was surprisingly strong, and he held on to his shoulders tightly and never let go.
