Chapter 808: Chapter 808 See You in Court!
Gu Guotai, seeing his grandson exceptionally obedient today, felt his anger finally abate a little.
He turned to his daughter-in-law, “Jinhua, apologize to Old Madam Lu! You are the one in the wrong with this matter!”
Hou Jinhua was in utter disbelief, her face rapidly paling, “Dad!”
“Apologize! Then take out the compensation money for Old Madam Lu to give to Qiao Yin. Injuring soone without apologizing or compensating, is that the proper way to behave?!”
Hou Jinhua’s eyes were nearly bulging out, “This wasn’t my fault! It was Qiao Yin’s fault! You have all been deceived by her! She truly said in her own words that she would pick one to marry between Chengqiao and Jing, that’s why I took action!”
Gu Guotai was almost driven to fury by her, never had he imagined that this daughter-in-law, from a major family, could be so foolish. At this point in ti, she still dragged her husband into this!
...
Was that supposed to be sothing praiseworthy?
Didn’t she know that involving Gu Chengqiao was entirely different from involving Gu Jing?
Old Madam imdiately seized the slip in her words, “You’re admitting now that it was you who initiated the attack and hard soone? You were just pretending it was an accident! Which of your statents is true, and which is false? You keep claiming that Qiao Yin has deceived us, but I think you’re the one who is maliciously framing her, clearly you have deceived us!”
Jinhua stiffened for a mont, but then she imdiately retorted, “You can’t bla , anyone would have lost control upon hearing Qiao Yin say those things! It was she who deliberately provoked that I accidentally scratched her face! It’s just a few scratches, it’s really nothing!”
“Just a few scratches? Then why don’t you scratch a few identical marks on your own face?! If you dare to do that to yourself, then I will believe you, I promise not to reproach you further! Do you dare?!”
Hou Jinhua did not dare.
Her mouth opened as if she wanted to say sothing else, but no suitable excuse for her defense ca to mind.
Old Madam turned her head to Gu Guotai, “Up to this point, she is still making excuses, even refusing to apologize. Then we have nothing more to discuss! My granddaughter doesn’t lack your compensation. I’ve decided for her—she doesn’t want a penny. We will et in court! For intentionally injuring and disfiguring soone, let’s see how many years she will be sentenced!”
Having said that, Old Madam strode out.
Lu Yanxi imdiately followed, and when she passed by Gu Jing, she shot him a scathing look.
Gu Jing had no appetite for a coback at this mont; he only hoped they would leave swiftly to avoid causing more trouble.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded, followed by the sound of the car starting up.
A mont later, the housekeeper ca in and reported in a low voice, “Master, they have left.”
After his report, the entire living room fell into dead silence.
Gu Guotai didn’t utter a word, simply fixing Hou Jinhua with a cold, icy stare.
Under his gaze, Jinhua felt utterly uneasy, barely able to stand firm, an inexplicable discomfort enveloping her.
She thought the old man was getting stranger the older he beca. Despite being paralyzed and unable to stand, his aura was becoming more powerful with each passing year, his oppressive presence ever increasing. No one in the Gu family dared to cross him.
After what felt like an eternity, just as Hou Jinhua was almost unable to stand it and wanted to say sothing, Gu Guotai spoke in a gloomy voice, “Chengqiao’s wife, are you eagerly wishing for my death?”
Jinhua was shocked, thinking he had discovered her secret prayers; her heart almost leaped to her throat, “Absolutely not! Dad, what are you talking about! I wish for you to live a long and prosperous life!”
“Not at all?”
Gu Guotai let out a cold chuckle from his throat, “You know full well how important Qiao Yin is to and how much I need her to treat my leg. Just when my leg was finally showing improvent, you went and scratched Qiao Yin, disfiguring her!”
