141 The Disruption At The Banquet 1

In the Gu’s family compound, Gu Xianglin’s gaze swept across the entire courtyard. As soon as he saw the group of people coming from the antechamber, the arrogance on his face gradually eased away. He marched up and said, "Grandfather, Father, Mother, and Little Sister, I’m back. Has everything been good these years? Oh right, where’s Gu Ruoyun? Why isn’t she here to welcome me back?"

Gu Xianglin’s brows furrowed.

He only had disdain towards Gu Ruoyun! So what if Gu Shengxiao had surpassed him in every area, wasn’t his sister still a good-for-nothing? If it was not for the Gu’s family blood flowing through her body, he reckoned she would have been kicked out a long time ago.

"Hmph!"

The old man grunted and said venomously, "Don’t mention that animal!"

"Why?" Gu Xianglin was a little surprised. Even if the old man disliked Gu Ruoyun, he would not have insulted her this way. It seems like something must have happened during his absence.

The old man’s good mood visibly changed at the mention of Gu Ruoyun, his face turned ghastly pale, "That woman is outrageous. Not only did she announce that she wanted to sever ties with us, she even plotted against her own flesh and blood! On top of that, that promiscuous woman is also having an affair with an old man who is older than me! I do not have this kind of granddaughter!"

The old man continued telling Gu Xianglin about everything that had happened from three years ago and of course, it was greatly exaggerated. He painted the Gu family as the innocent party whereas Gu Ruoyun was depicted as an ungrateful brat who abandoned the Gu family after sucking up to the Hundred Herb Hall and even set out to destroy them.

"That traitor! I should have strangled her to death the second she was born!" The old man said vehemently, gritting his teeth, "Even if I didn’t like her, I didn’t hurt her because she was my own granddaughter! Even if I was biased, I had never let her starve or beat her. I’d even thought of ways to teach her when she wouldn’t obey our teachings. Now look at what she’d done, she actually got people to throw me out when I asked her for help!"

Sure, the old man did not hit Gu Ruoyun, he had only beaten her to death! If Xia Ruoyun had not gotten ahold of this body, Gu Ruoyun would not have existed anymore…

Gu Xianglin frowned, "This Gu Ruoyun is unbelievable. Her parents are dead. This means that Grandfather, her second uncle, and his wife are her elders. How dare she treat her elders like that! Grandfather, there is a saying that the eldest brother is like the father. Since her brother isn’t here, I, her older cousin, shall teach her a lesson on respecting her elders!"

If someone else had told Gu Xianglin the exact same thing, he would not have believed them but since it was from his grandfather, who had held a high position in his heart since he was young, he did not doubt anything that his grandfather told him.

"Lin’er, why are you wasting your breath with this animal? Just allow the Gentle Breeze Faction to assassinate her. Why do you need to waste your energy?" Second Madam Gu said angrily.

How she wished she could slice up that face a few times to quench the intense hatred within her!

Gu Xianglin glanced at his own mother and said calmly, "Mother, no matter what, Gu Ruoyun still has the Gu family’s blood in her veins. Even if she doesn’t see us as a family, we cannot do the same thing. Coincidentally, there will be a banquet to celebrate my homecoming. As the Young Master of the Gentle Breeze Faction, there will be many powerful figures who will come forth and pay a visit. How about this, I’ll send her an invitation to give her a glimpse of this grand scene. Once she sees it, she’ll probably understand that the Gu family is beneficial to her."

As he said this, there was a blatant sense of pride between his brows, showing the immense confidence he had towards his suggestion.
