"Dad!"
Yating stord into the Gu villa, his body trembling in rage. After hearing the truth from Dream High's President, he couldn't believe that Gu Rong would still interfere in his life.
Butler Mo widened his eyes upon his arrival. "Young master…"
"Dad!" Yating yelled once again. "Co out!"
Butler Mo hurried towards him. "What's the matter, young master? You are suddenly here after four years and…"
You also seem so furious.
"Where is Dad?" He coldly asked.
"Master is in the study. Young master, I don't know what has gone wrong, but please calm down," he anxiously tried to convince him.
Yating angrily laughed. "Calm down? After how Dad keeps interfering in my life, how should I calm down?"
Gu Rong's figure just then alighted down from the stairs, who had heard his son calling out his na. "You co back after four years, and the first thing you know to do is shout in the house and disrespectfully call like this?"
He faced him, his eyes boring into him with fierceness.
Yating took a step towards him dangerously and faced him, his eyes holding bitterness in them. "Then what should I do after I learn that you arranged my job at Dream High, that you beca the largest stakeholder of Dream High just to keep an eye on and that you disrespected our agreent first! The President told everything. Not only you wanted to control my life, but you also wanted to make sure that I don't get entangled with any woman that you won't approve of!"
Gu Rong said nothing while Butler Mo panicked.
I see. Young master learned that…
"Dad. I think I was really clear when I left this house. I will do whatever I want in my career, and you won't interfere in it. But what do you want to prove by secretly taking over Dream High!?"
Gu Rong gritted his teeth. "Shut up! What do I want to prove? First, you went against to not beco my heir and beco so puny editor in a publishing company. Sure, it was a deal between us. But if you could disregard taking over the business, then you could have disregarded the deal too. And that's exactly what you did. At first, I only got involved because I wanted you to have a better position at Dream High. You are my son. As if I will let you do a ager job in so company!"
Yating stared at him in disbelief. "Don't tell …that all my achievents over these four years I worked in Dream High was not because of the hard work I put in but because you pulled the strings from the back!"
"Of course, it's your hard work too. But what is wrong in it if I give a little push? I just wanted to help you. And what do I get to know in return? You had promised that in exchange for letting you do as you please with your career, you will agree to the woman I would choose to be your wife. But then I learned that you were getting cozy with so small-ti author. Zhou Ai, right?"
His eyes slowly widened.
Gu Rong pointed his finger at him, his veins popping on his forehead in resentnt. "Gu Yating, just how much will you disrespect ? I only agreed for your career, not for you finding your bride! That will be my choice, not yours!"
"Dad!" Yating exclaid.
"What? Will you not acknowledge that you have feelings for Zhou Ai? That you didn't want to break the agreent between us?"
Yating curled his fingers and shut his eyes. The deal was the truth between the father and son. Yating was never interested in family business, but Gu Rong only wanted to see him inherit it after him. That caused a lot of clashes between them and after a lot of back and forth argunts, they decided that Yating will be allowed to pursue the career of his choice in exchange of Gu Rong choosing Yating's wife in the future.
At that ti, Yating didn't care much. He only wanted his freedom to choose the line of work he wanted. As for love, it was never his priority that much, so he didn't care if Gu Rong chose the woman for him.
But when he fell in love with Ai, it was the mont he technically broke the deal between them.
Butler Mo intervened. "Master, please…"
"Don't tell . Tell him who always keeps rebelling !"
Yating confessed. "Yes, it's true that I love Ai! I know that wasn't how we planned, but I-"
"Gu Yating! Do you think that I will accept Zhou Ai? She is nowhere near our family, and you only found a woman like her!? Are you out of your mind?"
The black aura around him only deepened. "A woman like her? She is the perfect woman I could find, Dad. Don't say anything against her!"
"That woman has really hypnotized you! You want to go against because of her who can never match up to our social class?"
"You-"
Gu Rong shook his head. "And you are wasting your feelings over which woman? I saw her dancing with Liu Jin at the banquet night. Clearly, she has set her sights on not only you but other rich heirs as well. Otherwise, how could soone like her be a part of the Liu family's banquet?" He smiled. "I am glad that she is not a part of Dream High anymore. I don't care if she goes to Sky or Shi Publishing or wherever - At least, she won't be in Dream High and hover around you!"
He froze. "You…you hate her that much?"
His phone rang and even though he wasn't in the mood to attend it, he did so. He took a deep breath. "What is it?"
It was the hacker he hired on the other side, "Sir. I have news about the judges."
Yating instantly beca alert. "Did they cough out the na?"
"Yes. Well…"
"What?" He impatiently asked.
"One of them is dead."
His eyes widened, stunned.
"And the other judge who is conscious now said that the one who bribed them was…your father, Gu Rong."
