Chapter 90: Chapter 90: He’s Unreasonable!

“So what?” Gu Junzhu stared at her, “As I said last night, this matter won’t end here! Anyone who dares to bully my wife must pay the price for daring to bully her! Is my wife that easy to bully?”
“…” Ye Xingbei blushed.
This man kept saying “my wife,” and he does so very fluently.
This man acts more professionally than her when putting on a show.
She needs to learn from him in the future!
As she was lost in her thoughts, Gu Chi, Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei, and Xiang Bingzhi came into the living room.
Xie Yunlin was tall and handsome, and Xie Jinfei was suave and chic. Both men were extremely good-looking with elegant demeanor and outstanding attire, clearly well-bred young masters from respectable families.
Following them was Xiang Bingzhi. Her figure was okay, but her face was a mess. One of her eyes was blackened and so swollen that it was barely a slit, much like a panda’s eye.
Her face was a patchwork of blue and purple bruises, the corner of her mouth was split, and her right arm was in a splint and suspended from her neck. The sight was horrific.
Seeing Xiang Bingzhi, Ye Xingbei felt extremely grateful for having that fast-acting injury medicine in Gu Junzhu’s possession.
Otherwise, she would have ended up looking like Xiang Bingzhi, showing up looking like this.
If so, she would rather hide under a blanket and not see anyone.
Xiang Bingzhi didn’t want to see anyone either, but she had no choice.
As soon as her parents clocked in for work today, they were taken away for investigation by the Procuratorate.
The charges were that someone reported that her parents were involved in corruption, bribery, and dereliction of duty.
Her father works in the Treasury Department and her mother in the court, their official positions were not small, but also not that high.
However, her grandparents, both on either side, are influential figures in Beijing, even national leaders have to give them some face when they meet.
She’s always been arrogant in Beijing, never afraid of anyone.
She never thought that someone would dare to cause trouble for her parents and take them away for investigation.
After her parents were taken away by the Procuratorate, someone immediately notified her grandparents.
She originally thought that as long as her grandparents said a word, her parents would be released unscathed.
However, the people at the Procuratorate said that the evidence they received was very detailed and conclusive, and there were people keeping an eye on the case from behind the scenes.
The law applies equally to all, whether prince or commoner.
They dared not break the law knowingly.
Therefore, they had to follow the proper procedure to investigate her parents’ case.
After hearing the response from the Procuratorate, the Xie and Xiang families immediately understood.
Someone they had offended was deliberately targeting them.
Both families quickly started investigating who it was they had offended.
They soon discovered that she and Xie Jinfei had offended Gu Junzhu, and they had beaten up Gu Junzhu’s newlywed wife.
Her grandparents scolded her and Xie Jinfei badly over the phone.
They berated them for offending Gu Junzhu seeking their own doom.
The Gu Family has a unique status among the upper class in Beijing.
Senior Master Gu was a founding father.
He was the sort of person who, no matter what happened, could stand firmly on his merit.
Now, individuals with Senior Master Gu’s status are few and far between.
Senior Master Xie and Senior Master Xiang once served under Senior Master Gu.
By rights, since Senior Master Xie and Senior Master Xiang used to serve under Senior Master Gu, there should be a bond of mutual respect between them.
If a dispute arises among the younger generation, the elders step in, say a few kind words to smooth things over and the matter can be resolved.
But Senior Master Gu is unreasonable!
