C35 Hongmen Dining

"Since things have already come to this point, I won't beat around the bush with you. You should know what role Gu Tingxiao is playing in the Gu family right now, right?"

Bai Fenghua appeared neither hurried nor slow, as if he had just become a different person.

Mu Li's brows creased slightly. "Mom, what do you mean by that? I've never been involved in business, so I don't know much about it. If you have anything you want to say, you'd better explain it to me. "

Mu Li did not like such roundabout words. Moreover, Gu Tingxiao was involved in this matter, so she did not dare to make the decision directly.

"Mu Li, I believe you are a smart woman. You must know what I want to say. Our Gu family is currently facing a difficult situation, so we must find someone to take responsibility for it. I believe you can understand what I'm saying."

"I'm sorry, I said I don't understand business matters. I'm really powerless in this matter." Mu Li still pretended not to understand.

Bai Fenghua was infuriated. She immediately stood up and pointed at Mu Li. "You … You don't know how to appreciate favors. "

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything about business, so it's useless for you to tell me about it. Besides, I don't work at the Gu family, so I don't know anything about the Gu family's company."

Mu Li also stood up and lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.

From the looks of it, today's meal was most likely going to be a Hongmen Banquet.

Those from the Gu Clan had already sided with Gu Yiye. With the Gu Clan in trouble, it was obvious that they wanted to push Gu Tingxiao out of the clan line to be their scapegoat.

"What is it? Are you arguing? " Gu Shao'an, who came downstairs, couldn't help but ask when he heard their voices.

When Bai Fenghua saw his husband come down, he helped Gu Shao An to sit down: "There are people who don't know how to appreciate favors."

"Xiao Li, don't lower yourself to the same level as your mother." Gu Shao'an's tone was flat, completely different from the elites of the business battles.

"I'm sorry dad, this is my first time here and I've already angered mom." Mu Li couldn't help but say this apologetically. She knew that the situation was against Gu Tingxiao, and although she was angry, she couldn't break the rules.

Gu Shao'an came in front of Mu Li. "You ate this apple, right? Do you feel that this apple is very sweet? "

"Apple sent from abroad is indeed very sweet." Mu Li answered truthfully.

Gu Shao An picked up the apple on the table and placed it in front of Mu Li. Mu Li was about to catch it when Gu Shao An threw it onto the ground. "Sorry, this apple is too big. It's hard to catch."

Mu Li looked at the dusty apple on the ground and couldn't help furrowing his brows. Just what did this man want to do?

"Mu Li, I know you're a smart person. Although this apple is more fragrant and delicious than the domestic ones, since it fell on the ground, it can only be a useless apple."

With that, Gu Shao'an turned and walked into the kitchen.

However, Mu Li was still looking at the apple on the ground. He was hinting that the apple was Gu Tingxiao. No matter how brilliant and beautiful he used to be before, he was still a good-for-nothing now, unable to enter the great hall.

She had never thought that Gu Tingxiao's parents would be such a person. Could it be that Gu Tingxiao wasn't their child?

Mu Li picked up the apple and walked straight to the kitchen. He turned on the tap and rinsed the apple under the tap, but after a while, the entire apple looked completely new.

After that, Mu Li placed the apple in front of Gu Shao An. "Dad, this apple is extremely precious. If it falls to the ground and you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste?

A trace of astonishment appeared on Gu Shao'an's face. He never expected that this little girl would actually be so eloquent.

"If the apple is dirty, it can be washed clean. What if the apple is broken?" Gu Shao'an launched another attack.

"If it's broken, then it's much easier to deal with it. We can just cut out the apple's tumor and leave the better ones."

Mu Li placed the washed apple into his mouth and bit it. Gu Shao An stood on the spot with a intriguing look in his eyes.

After a long while, Gu Shao An laughed out loud: "I didn't expect you to be so smart. I've prepared some food that you like to eat today, hurry up and come over to eat."

After they sat down, Gu Shao An looked at the maid who brought the dishes over, "Go call the eldest young master to come down for dinner."
