Chapter 682: Old Master Cui’s Disappointment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He used the same method he used on Cui Hong in the business circle. Under such an aura, Cui Hong was obviously the first to collapse.
Perhaps it was because Old Master Cui had gradually become amiable because of his age that Cui Hong had the illusion that Old Master Cui did not have any lethality.
His entire heart was beating, but his chest felt very stuffy, as if a pair of large hands were gripping it tightly.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent, and Cui Hong was speechless.
He had many things to do under him, so he really forgot if he had ever managed Ziwei industry.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Jia Ling quickly said, “Dad, don’t be too angry. Isn’t Cui Hong afraid that you’ll be blinded by bad people?”
“I know you’ve always had complaints about Gu Man, but let me tell you, she’s equivalent to my biological granddaughter. I hope you can recognize your status in the future and not interfere too much in my matters. Although I’m old, I’m not that confused.” Old Master Cui did not want to argue with this group of people anymore and went upstairs with Uncle Li’s help.
However, perhaps because he had caught a cold, he kept coughing.
Uncle Li’s heart ached when he saw this. “Master, why don’t we tell them Miss Gu’s ident.i.ty?”
Old Master Cui shook his head without hesitation. “No, Jia Ling is not simple. Although she looks like she’s comforting me today, she’s also very dissatisfied with this matter. She’s just afraid that I’ll vent my anger on her. If she finds out about Gu Man’s ident.i.ty, she might even find trouble with her.”
At this point, Old Master Cui suddenly paused. He looked at the two small figures trying to hide in the corridor and sighed before walking upstairs.
When she was sure that the two of them could not hear their conversation, she continued, “Besides, I’m afraid these two little girls can’t accept it either. Cui Xuan is fine, but Cui Ya seems to have some complaints about Gu Man. I hope the two of them can get along better in the future.”
Old Master Cui’s eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life. He walked up, and his back was no longer as mighty as before. Instead, he looked old.
This was an old man’s helplessness towards family disputes. Even someone like Old Master Cui could not help but fall into it and not find the right path.
Perhaps it was because he did not care about kinship when he was young and was only left with the b.l.o.o.d.y storm of fighting and killing. That was why he yearned for pure kinship without any benefits when he was old.
The reason why he liked Man Man so much was probably because she did not bring any schemes when interacting with others. This kind of relationship made him feel sincerely comfortable, so he subconsciously got close to her.
He remembered that the last time he had such a feeling was when he was facing Gu Man’s mother, that lively and cheerful girl.
After Old Master Cui left, Jia Ling’s expression immediately changed. She sat on the sofa, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of tea. She glared at Cui Hong. “You have to resolve this matter quickly. One does not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others, let alone such a big business.” “Didn’t you keep speaking up for Dad just now? Why are you suddenly changing the topic now?” Cui Hong was obviously angry that Jia Ling did not speak up for him just now and sat at the side, ignoring him.
“Then weren’t 1 afraid that Dad would vent his anger on me after this? You’re his son. It’s impossible for him to do anything to you.” Jia Ling’s words were filled with complaints. “It’s not like you don’t know his temper. Instead of arguing with me here, why don’t you think about what to do?”
“What can I do? Didn’t you see my father’s angry gaze just now? He was about to swallow me alive.” Cui Hong leaned against the sofa in exasperation, covered his forehead, and sighed.
At this moment, Cui Ya, who had been watching the show upstairs, jogged down. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry about this. As the saying goes, every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor.. Can’t we just look for whoever caused this?”
