Gu Man looked at the time on her wrist and looked at Gu Yuan in surprise. “It’s already one o’clock, and it’s not morning. It’s long past the time to sleep.”

Gu Yuan’s expression froze for a moment before he quickly reacted. “No matter what time it is, it’s not a reason for you to disturb someone’s rest.”

He reprimanded Gu Man sternly, his eyes filled with sharpness.

Then did she really think that they were fools and could not tell anything? Her prime was clearly about to pass, but she still dared to be so smug. He had to teach her a lesson today.

With that, Gu Yuan did not even have the time to change out of his clothes. He hurriedly came down from upstairs and came to Gu Man. “Was my attitude too nice before to make you mess around like this? What’s that in your hand? A hammer? You still want to smash this house?”

“Since you’ve already seen it, why ask?” Gu Man shook the hammer in her hand.

The expression in her eyes made Gu Yuan suspect that this hammer would land on his head in the next second. The strong uneasiness made him take a step back and carefully distance himself from Gu Man.

He continued to put on the attitude of an elder with a cold face. “Ha, Gu Man, you still don’t know, right? You’ve already been exposed. You have no one to rely on now. No one will help you. The only person you can rely on is our Gu family.”

Gu Yuan still planned to use both force and persuasion. If Gu Man took the initiative to agree, it would save him a lot of trouble, but if she refused, he did not mind using some illegal methods.

“It’s not that we don’t welcome you back, but look at what you’ve done since you came back. If you had softened a little, would we have spoken to you so sternly?” Gu Yuan softened his tone and tried his best to look at Gu Man lovingly.

Gu Man looked at Gu Yuan in confusion, not understanding what he meant by being exposed, having no one to rely on, and so on.

Could it be that Gu Yuan was still asleep? He said things that she did not understand.

Gu Yuan saw that he had already softened his temper. Gu Man still had that cold expression and even looked at him as if he was a fool. He was instantly furious. “Gu Man, don’t go overboard. I’ve already given in a lot. If you continue to push your luck, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Gu Man looked at Gu Yuan as if he was a clown. She had no idea what kind of one-man show he was putting on.

The others also came downstairs one after another. A group of people stood beside Gu Yuan and faced Gu Man.

However, they tacitly distanced themselves, clearly afraid of the hammer in Gu Man’s hand.

“You’re a young lady. Why are you holding a weapon? Hurry up and put them down. What if you scare Mom?” Gu Zhi frowned and looked in Gu Man’s direction. There was no longer any fear in her eyes. Instead, she acted like an elder and pointed at Gu Man.

Gu Man looked at the attitude of this family and narrowed her eyes. She also realized that something had probably happened that made them think that she had no backer.

However, this was also a good thing. It could allow the Gu family to expose their true colors faster.

Hence, Gu Man threw the hammer in her hand aside cooperatively.

In the eyes of the Gu family, her attitude was that she had given in. They were very happy. It seemed that their previous guess was right.

Hence, their attitude became even more arrogant. Old Madam Gu spat out her previous dissatisfaction. “No matter what, the Gu family is your only support. Don’t think about those crooked ways. The most important thing is to grasp the present. 1 won’t argue with you about the small matters from before. Just hand over the assets in your hands. A young lady like you is the easiest to be deceived. You’ll be more at ease if you hand them over to us. We’ll definitely return them to you in the future.”

As for when they would return it, that was still up to them.

Old Madam Gu seemed to have already thought of the scene of her holding the Ziwei Industry and subsidiary company. She could not hide the smile on her face. Her smile also deepened her wrinkles, making her look old..
