Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Be Sure to Placate Qiao Yin Well
Gu Guotai’s deanor had already beco composed and calm, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table surface: “We naturally cannot say that she is an illegitimate daughter; the reputation isn’t pleasant to hear. The third child you fathered is no more, right? Just let Qiao Yin take her place. After all, the third has always been frail and ill, staying in the hospital, and no one has seen what she looks like.”
Gu Chengqiao was sowhat reluctant: “This… doesn’t seem quite right, does it? Plus, Jinhua probably won’t agree to it.”
“Since when did we Gu Family’s matters beco hers to decide?”
Gu Guotai gave him a glance, his tone sowhat exasperated as he said: “You need to make her listen to you; you’re the head of the Gu Family. If she makes a fuss, just send her back to the Hou Family, let her return when she’s done with her tantrums. Don’t indulge her faults to the point where she wants to ride over your head.”
Now Gu Chengqiao had no excuse left; all he could do was to brace himself and say: “Alright, I know, Dad.”
“Also, acknowledging Qiao Yin back into the family is one thing, going to apologize is another matter entirely. You still need to show the proper attitude, and compensation must be given. Not only should you apologize to Qiao Yin, but you also need to visit Old Madam Lu; we can’t have our relations with the Lu Family fall apart. Do you understand?”
Gu Chengqiao then realized why his father wanted to acknowledge Qiao Yin back; it wasn’t just because Qiao Yin’s dical skills could save lives, but also because she held a special relationship with Old Madam Lu.
Since Old Madam Lu was willing to co late at night to fight for justice for Qiao Yin, this indicated that Qiao Yin held a significant place in her heart. She wouldn’t acknowledge Qiao Yin as her granddaughter without good reason.
“I understand, Dad. Rest assured, when it cos to handling social interactions, I’ve always been quite adept. I will make sure Old Madam Lu is satisfied.”
Gu Guotai nodded his head.
He wasn’t actually worried about his son’s capability in this area. Gu Chengqiao might not have many talents, but he was extrely skilled in the art of human relations. He was a man who could bend and stretch to win over people’s hearts. He would do anything to please others, completely disregarding any concern for face or dignity. When it ca to apologizing, Old Madam Lu would definitely be satisfied.
This was probably a skill he honed from chasing won in the past.
Gu Chengsong, in this respect, wasn’t as capable as him, which is why his business acun wasn’t as flexible as Gu Chengqiao’s, nor as good at winning over hearts and building connections.
“That’s all for now; I’m done here. You may go about your business. First, go placate Qiao Yin and don’t let her grandmother spread the news of Jinhua damaging soone’s face and causing disfigurent.”
“Okay.”
Gu Chengqiao responded, but hesitated to leave.
Gu Guotai was already very tired. Seeing him still there, he couldn’t help but ask: “Do you have sothing else?”
“It’s about Jing. Dad, don’t push him too hard. He is still young. Discipline should be gradual. How can he endure it when you start with beating the child?”
“You don’t need to teach how to discipline my children! Besides, he’s twenty-three, not so young anymore!”
Gu Guotai scoffed, pressed the button on his electric wheelchair, left the study room, and returned to the bedroom to sleep.
Gu Chengqiao, finding himself without options, headed to the room where Gu Jing was confined and unexpectedly found that his son had fallen asleep at so point; his heart ached and he shook his head helplessly.
It seed there was no serious issue; otherwise, Gu Jing wouldn’t have slept so soundly.
As he walked out, he saw Hou Jinhua still standing in the living room, apparently with no intention of leaving. He didn’t bother with her. After all, her staying with Gu Guotai was better than her going out and causing trouble.
She had ruined Qiao Yin’s face, forcing him to clean up her ss. His mood was extrely sour, and even if Hou Jinhua tried to speak to him, he acted as if he hadn’t seen her.
After leaving the Gu Family ho, Gu Chengqiao first went to Old Madam Lu’s place, made apologies, emphasizing that both he and his wife had suffered slaps from Qiao Yin’s grandmother, ensuring that his apologetic posture was sufficient. Then, without a mont’s delay, he hurried to find Qiao Yin in the Hospital.
