Chapter 387 - 387: Bullying Gu Zi
The faces of the Gu family couple were equally stunned. They had hoped that Gong Zhan would have a productive conversation with Gu Zi. But now, they were shocked to find out that Gong Zhan had chosen to bully Gu Zi instead. They had never expected Gong Zhan to be such a person.
Gong Zhan, noticing everyone’s horrified expressions, felt his face sour. He shot a cold glance at Uncle Yang, “Uncle Yang, aren’t you going to defend me? You saw everything, I didn’t do anything.”
Uncle Yang responded with a gentle smile, adjusting the bandage on Gong Zhan’s hand, and said impartially, “You shouldn’t have grabbed her. To outsiders, it looks like you were bullying her.”
Gong Zhan pulled his hand away, his face souring further as he distanced himself from Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang didn’t say anything more. In his view, their young master was simply lacking in maturity, and today’s incident might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Meanwhile, Gu Zi was still in the counseling room, feeling dazed even after the entire psychological counseling session. She couldn’t understand what had just happened.
She didn’t know why Su Shen had suddenly returned, thrown away the pork belly in his hand and kicked Gong Zhan. Then, Gong Zhan, a big man himself, was sent flying through the air like a fairy from the sky. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Gu Zi would never have believed it.
After all, Gong Zhan was a tall man, over 1.85 meters, who had grown up practicing martial arts. His strength was not to be underestimated. But he had been sent flying by Su Shen, and was even trampled and beaten in the mud. Su Shen had hit him ten times before he could even land a punch. It was a pitiful sight. Su Shen was indeed formidable!
This was probably a setup where ten male leads couldn’t beat one villainous father. Her man was so handsome! He scored major points for protecting his wife and children! But what Gu Zi didn’t understand was why the police had immediately arranged for a psychologist to counsel her?
Before Gu Zi could figure out the answer to this question, there was a commotion outside the counseling room. The door was then opened, and Chief Gong, Mrs. Chen, and Gong Xin walked in.
As soon as Gong Xin entered, she rushed towards Gu Zi, holding Gu Zi’s face in her hands and examining her closely. She then checked the rest of Gu Zits body, finally noticing a red mark on her wrist.
Gong Xin said angrily, “My brother is such an idiot. How could he do such a thing? He bullied a woman for that wicked woman Lin Miao. Mom and Dad, you must teach your son a lesson.”
Mr. Gong and Mrs. Chen arrived with an air of embarrassment, their faces flushed with regret. Being a man of few words, Mr. Gong offered a brief apology before making a swift exit.
Mrs. Chen approached Gu Zi, taking her hand and saying, “We never imagined Gong Zhan would behave so foolishly, nor did we expect him to seek you out. Your Uncle Gong will take him to the military for proper discipline, and we will ensure he mends his ways. I’m at a loss for how to express my guilt. Please, accept this as a token of our regret.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Chen pulled a gold bracelet from her bag. The bracelet had originally been intended as a wedding gift for Gu Zi upon her marriage into the family. When the marriage didn’t happen, Mrs. Chen had planned to keep it as a keepsake. Now, she found herself giving it to Gu Zi for an entirely different reason, though it served its purpose nonetheless.
Gu Zi weighed the bracelet in her hand, surprised by its heft. She had no desire to accept anything from the Gong family, but the weight of the bracelet suggested its considerable value.
Gong Zhan’s actions that day were indeed baffling, but considering that Su Shen had already given him a beating and his mother’s apology was sincere, Gu Zi decided not to press the matter further.
Moreover, the Gong family was not just any family. Even if she didn’t want much contact with them, it was best not to offend them.
Gu Zi nodded and accepted the gold bracelet. A smile finally appeared on Mrs. Chen’s face. ‘Gu Zi, you’ve always been a sensible and outstanding child,” she sighed. “I was very fond of you from the beginning…” It was a pity, she thought, that they were not destined to be mother and daughter-in-law.
“Mom, you’re okay now, that’s great!” Just as Mrs. Chen and Gu Zi finished speaking, several children entered the room. Two boys and a little girl, chubby and adorable.. Upon hearing her brothers call out to their mother, she toddled towards Gu Zi, calling out, “Mom, mom, hug!”
