Chapter 527: Chapter 528: I Don’t Talk to People with Poor Intelligence
Ye Xinglan gave Shi Qianling a grateful glance and nodded, saying, “Yes.”
He turned his body towards Ye Xingbei: “Beibei, you’ve injured Xiao Ying like this, you owe an explanation to the Shi family, fifty lashes, go take your punishment.”
Gu Junzhu placed his hand protectively around Ye Xingbei, clapping lightly, and smiling, “The two of you put on quite a melodramatic show, full of emotion, and quite entertaining, really well done.”
Ye Xinglan frowned at him: “Fifth Brother, Xiao Ying is seriously injured, it’s impossible for Beibei to avoid any punishment. I know you do not want to see Beibei hurt, do you think I do? But can we let Beibei go unpunished and let the Shi family call the police and get him jailed?”
Gu Junzhu smirked: “Ye Xinglan, your stupidity is simply astonishing! I never imagined that the esteemed head of Star Palace could be so foolish! And yet, you’ve managed to keep Star Palace afloat. The entertainment industry truly relies on appearances, not brains.”
Ye Xinglan’s frown deepened, “Fifth Brother, if you have a better idea, speak up. There’s no need for personal attacks.”
“I claim to love Beibei as much as you do, but the brutal reality is that Xiao Ying has been severely abused.”
“The Shi family is waiting here for justice for Xiao Ying. If you, Fifth Brother, have any solution that can protect Beibei and satisfy the Shi family, do speak up. I assure you, I’ll offer my help in wrapping up this issue harmoniously, be it money or manpower without any discussion!”
“Satisfy the Shi family?” Gu Junzhu smirked: “Who are they to be satisfied by me?”
Shi Shijun was fuming: “Gu Junzhu, don’t push your luck! This is in Y Country, not your Beijing, you can’t throw your weight around here!”
“Oh really?” Gu Junzhu laughed casually, “Ye, but I’m used to being a bully, I’d feel uncomfortable otherwise!”
“You…”
Just as Shi Shijun was about to explode in anger, the butler stepped forward and bowed to Gu Junzhu, “Young Master, the eldest and Second Young Master from the Chi family have arrived.”
Gu Junzhu smiled, “Please.”
“The Chi family?” Ye Xinglan frowned: “Chi Yu and Chi Zhan? Fifth Brother, why did you call them?”
The Chi family is a prominent family in Y Country, on par with the Shi and Ye families, and they’re evenly matched in power.
The Chi family has had a feud with the Shi family and they’ve never been on good terms.
Ye Xinglan used to have a good relationship with Chi Yu, but ever since he and Shi Qianling became official, their relationship has grown distant.
Gu Junzhu glanced at him and said dismissively, “I don’t argue with people with low IQ, I’m afraid it’s contagious.”
Ye Xinglan: “…”
If it wasn’t for Senior Gu, who would tolerate you?
Looking at his unreasonable actions today, he’s nothing more than a big show-off!
If not for Senior Gu, who would believe his loud reputation?
Isn’t he just a spoiled brat?
So cocky!
Ye Xinglan was so angry he felt like exploding, but remembering Senior Gu’s position…he swallowed his anger.
Soon, Chi Yu and Chi Zhan came over.
Their gaze quickly swept over everyone’s faces, landing on Gu Junzhu’s, politely offering their greetings: “Fifth Lord of Gu, we were unsure of why you invited us today. What’s the matter?”
“I need you to look at something,” Gu Junzhu smiled, “Please, inside.”
