Chapter 21: Gu Family Reconciliation

After Gu Yuan received Qu Bei’s call, he quickly stopped his work and rushed to the police station.

He had accumulated a lot of anger on the way.

This Gu Man only knew how to cause trouble. The incident of the video on the Internet the night before and the beating today. She just did not stop.

Gu Yuan felt that Gu Man was here to take revenge on him. 2

In the police station, as soon as Gu Yuan saw Gu Man, his anger surged. If there were no outsiders around, he would have slapped Gu Man twice.

Gu Yuan hated her in his heart. Gu Man, this stupid person, didn’t even know who she had offended today. If the Li Family blamed her, then the Gu Family’s business would plummet in the future. The Gu Family was new money. If they suffered a blow, who knew how many years it would take for them to climb back up?

This was all thanks to Gu Man.

What made Gu Yuan even angrier was that Gu Man refused to withdraw the case and settle it in private.

Whether it was trying to reason with her or using their relationship, Gu Man did not say anything.

Gu Yuan was furious.

Gu Yuan had wanted to act like a magnanimous father in front of everyone at the police station, but his image was broken.

“I’m your guardian now. I have the final say.” Gu Yuan’s words were firm.

In Ou Yang’s office.

Gu Yuan suppressed his anger and announced his decision in a low voice, “Chief Ou, as Gu Man’s guardian, I choose to withdraw the case. So please release Li Guo as soon as possible. Actually, the entire matter is a farce. Gu Man has just returned from the countryside. She doesn’t know how to deal with many things. It’s easy for her to make a fuss.”

“But Gu Man doesn’t want to settle it privately. She has her reasons. She has suffered a lot of abuse and bullying in the past few months,” Ou Yang reminded.

“She just transferred to Han City First High School. It’s normal for her to not be used to school life. Moreover, with her stubborn temper, she has always been at odds with others. It’s normal for some students to not like her.” Gu Yuan still felt that it was Gu Man’s problem.

Gu Yuan did not want to hear any more about Gu Man, so he suggested to Ou Yang again, “Chief Ou, I hope you can let Li Guo out as soon as possible.”

Chief Ou was not surprised by this outcome. What surprised him was Gu Yuan’s attitude. From the beginning to the end, he did not say anything about Gu Man being bullied. Instead, he kept blaming Gu Man.

Ou Yang, who also had a daughter, felt that this was too abnormal. If it was his daughter who had suffered such an experience, then Li Guo would not just be in jail.

However, he heard that Gu Man was the adopted daughter of the Gu family. This might be because they were not really related by blood.

Ou Yang still told Gu Man the final outcome alone. He thought that Gu Man would make a fuss.

In the end, Gu Man only snorted softly.

It was obvious that she had expected this.

But she was still disappointed, right?

Gu Man was indeed disappointed. No, she completely lost hope.

His daughter was humiliated, scolded, and bullied, but as a father, he rushed to reconcile with the other party. Was this something a normal father could do?

It could only be said that Gu Yuan was not an ordinary father.

When Gu Yuan brought Gu Man out of the police station.

Not only Qu Bei, but Gu Rou was also there. The Li Family also picked Li Guo up at the door.

Li Guo even snorted at Gu Man disdainfully. “I knew it, Gu Man. You couldn’t do anything to me in the end, right?”

When Gu Yuan saw the Li Family, he went over with a fawning expression, “Today is a misunderstanding. The Gu Family has done something wrong. We’ll visit you another day to apologize.”

Li Guo’s mother looked at Gu Man. “Then we’ll wait. Especially your adopted daughter from the countryside. You must come and apologize to my son.”

Gu Man remained silent with a dark expression.

Gu Yuan nodded and said, “Definitely, definitely.”

After the Li Family left, the Gu Family got into the car.

The atmosphere in the car was very tense. Gu Yuan wanted to say something but stopped.

Gu Yuan snorted. “I’ll teach you a lesson when we get home.”

Along the way, Gu Man stuffed her earphones into her ears.

As soon as they entered the door, she heard an old but strong scolding. “You b*stard! What can’t you do?”

Gu Man still lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Actually, Gu Man could not hear clearly. Beethoven’s Symphony of Fate was playing in her earpiece.

Qu Bei quickly added, “That’s right. You don’t even know what trouble you’ve gotten into this time. If the Li Family blames you, we’ll lose out on a hundred million dollars worth of business. You’ll have to get out of the Gu Family then!”

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Man. “In a while, we’ll bring a gift to the Li Family and apologize to them. You must sincerely beg for the Li Family’s forgiveness. Otherwise, the few deals we have now will be ruined. Gu Man, you have to apologize to Li Guo, understand?”
