“If I ever hear you insult grandfather and mother again, I’ll break every bone in your body!”After saying this, Fang Tong was no longer in the mood to stroll around the garden. She turned around and returned to her room.

In the room, Gu Nancheng was asleep. Fang Tong slowly walked to his side and lowered her gaze as she muttered, “Gu Nancheng, you have to get better, okay? When you weren’t around, Gu Ting, that despicable person, bullied my grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law. Do you really have the heart to watch those two elders suffer the humiliation of that jerk? Are you really willing to hand the Gu Corporation that you worked so hard for over to that kind of person?”

However, no one could answer her question.

Fang Tong sighed slightly. “I know it’s not easy for you either. The master clearly said that if I marry you, you’ll get better, but now… I don’t know if it’s because I’m too much of a jinx. First, the Fang family went bankrupt, and now, I’ve affected you. That’s why you can’t get better.”

Fang Tong lowered her head as she said this. She didn’t notice that the index finger of the hand beside her moved slightly.

The news of Gu Ting being beaten soon reached Old Master Gu’s ears. Lan Yue personally brought her son and came to Old Master Gu to demand an explanation.

Bai Ping asked someone to call Fang Tong.

When Gu Ting saw Fang Tong, he was first aggressive, then he remembered how she broke his lower jaw in the blink of an eye. He stepped back in fear, and when Lan Yue saw her, the hatred in her eyes was so strong that it was as if she wanted to poke a few holes in Fang Tong’s body.

“Uncle, look at Gu Ting’s injuries. The doctor said that if he went any later, he wouldn’t be able to reattach it. He would be crippled! I didn’t expect this wretched girl to be so vicious despite her young age!”

Old Master Gu frowned and didn’t say anything. Bai Ping pulled Fang Tong to her side and asked gently, “What’s going on? Did you really do it?”

Fang Tong nodded and admitted it without any hesitation.

“Look, look, she admitted it!”

Seeing Fang Tong nod, Lan Yue immediately jumped up. “Fang Tong, what deep hatred do you have with the Gu family?! Your family went bankrupt and you almost ended up on the streets. If it weren’t for the Gu family taking you in, there’s no telling where you would be right now! You, on the other hand, don’t know how to be grateful, and you actually dared to attack your brother-in-law. Do you even take us elders seriously?!”

Facing Lan Yue’s condemnation, Fang Tong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Of course I’m grateful to the Gu family for taking me in. That’s why I can’t listen to anyone slander my grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law in front of me. Moreover, the Gu family is the one who took me in. It’s not your family. Why should I be grateful to you?!”

“You!”

Lan Yue rushed over to attack Fang Tong. Bai Ping’s expression was dark as she asked someone to block Lan Yue and she said, “Sister-in-law, no matter what, Fang Tong is still my daughter-in-law. If she really did something wrong, I will ask her to personally apologize to you. However, as an elder, you have to act like one. How can you make a move on a junior?!”

“Hmph! I want to see how she can distort the truth and say that she is the victim here!”

Bai Ping ignored her clamor. He looked at Fang Tong and asked, “Tell me, why did you attack Gu Ting out of nowhere? Did he do something?”

“I went easy on him. If Nancheng were awake, I’m afraid he would have broken his leg!”
