Jiang Zhi went up and down the stairs a hundred times, her face flushed with exhaustion. Now, upon hearing the surrounding whispers, she was so ashamed and indignant that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She was almost driven insane!
Why could she never control herself?
Was she ill?
An intangible fear enveloped her. She raised her head, hoping to seek comfort from Gu Beichen, only to meet his cold gaze.
Jiang Zhi's nose twitched. "Beichen... My legs hurt so much..."
After jumping off the building a hundred times, how could they not hurt?
Gu Beichen had felt a bit of pity for her originally, but after witnessing her incomprehensible actions just now, he only felt ashamed!
Why on earth did she have to make such strange moves at her father's birthday banquet?
Could it be that, relying on her pregnancy, she was deliberately testing his bottom line?
"Are Jiang Zhi and Young Master Gu a couple?" A curious onlooker asked.
"Tonight, the eldest Young Master Gu seemed to take special care of her. Their relationship looks rather intimate."
"I remember that the one engaged to the eldest Young Master Gu is the real daughter of the Jiang family. Why is he getting involved with this fake daughter, Jiang Zhi?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but frown.
These days, she had been so busy that she had forgotten to formally break off the engagement with the Gu family.
Now, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family at all.
It was a pity that the paparazzi at the hotel that day had been threatened by the Gu family. Otherwise, the photos of Gu Beichen and Gu Xize in their hands would surely have made a big news story for the Gu family.
After the banquet ended, as the guests left, they were still discussing what had happened tonight.
"I heard that Jiang Zhi was a favorite of Old Master Gu, but after tonight, she'll probably fall out of favor."
"Exactly. Didn't you see how dark Old Master Gu's face was? He's clearly dissatisfied with her."
"She was boasting earlier that Old Master Gu would adopt her as his god - daughter tonight. It's really laughable. She doesn't even consider her own status and still dreams of being a Gu family's daughter."
As if deliberately said for someone to hear, the voices of the crowd were not low, just right to reach Jiang Zhi's ears.
Her fists hanging by her sides couldn't help but clench tightly, and her heart was filled with both anger and sadness.
Tonight was supposed to be a good day for Old Master Gu to adopt her as his god - daughter.
She was supposed to become the envy of everyone as a daughter of the Gu family.
But why!
Why did it turn out like this?
Not only did she not become a daughter of the Gu family, but she had also become a joke for everyone to talk about after meals.
Even Beichen was angry with her because of this and was no longer as gentle as before.
At the thought of this, her nose felt sour, and big teardrops couldn't help but roll down from the corners of her eyes.
When most of the guests had left, Gu Beichen still couldn't bear it and dragged Jiang Zhi to apologize to Old Master Gu.
"I'm so sorry, Old Master Gu. I was really rude tonight, but please believe me, it was by no means my intention..."
Jiang Miaomiao, who was about to leave by car, happened to see this scene and decided to watch the following drama.
[Original text: With red eyes, Jiang Zhi said, "Old Master Gu... I really love Beichen. I know I'm not worthy of him with my status, but I love him so much. If possible, I really want to buy myself a bottle of love - forgetting water."]
Love - forgetting water?
Jiang Miaomiao smiled slightly.
[System, change love - forgetting water to aphrodisiac water.]
Not far away, Jiang Zhi was standing in front of Old Master Gu, at a loss.
After a moment, she raised her red - rimmed eyes. "Old Master Gu... I really love Beichen. I know I'm not worthy of him with my status, but I love him so much. If possible, I really want to buy myself a bottle of aphrodisiac water."
Gu Beichen beside her:?
Hadn't he told her to behave well in front of his father to redeem her image? What on earth was she doing?!
Old Master Gu's brows furrowed even tighter.
He angrily stretched out his walking stick and slammed it hard on the floor.
"Beichen, look at what kind of woman you like! In public, she actually says such shameless things! You're going to inherit the Gu Group in the future. Do you really want your future wife to be a woman who casually mentions aphrodisiacs in public?"
"Old Master Gu..." Jiang Zhi panicked and quickly tugged at the cuff of Old Master Gu.
"Old Master Gu, I was just too stimulated tonight, so I spoke out of turn. You know my character. I'm definitely not the kind of woman you think I am."
"Beichen, say something. You know me best. I just made a slip of the tongue just now. It definitely wasn't what I meant."
Gu Beichen sighed.
[Original text: With a helpless look on his face, Gu Beichen turned to look at Old Master Gu and said, "Dad, I believe Zhizhi isn't that kind of person. Don't be too hard on her."]
Behind the car window, Jiang Miaomiao thought for a moment.
[System, change turned to look at Old Master Gu to kicked at Old Master Gu.]
The next second, Gu Beichen moved his neck, and suddenly his body stiffened.
Then, he turned his head, changed direction, and suddenly raised his foot towards Old Master Gu and kicked -
"Ouch..."
Gu Beichen was tall and strong, and in the prime of his life.
Old Master Gu, no matter how well - maintained he was, was a 55 - year - old senior citizen. Kicked by Gu Beichen, he was sent flying several meters away.
What a fine display of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
Jiang Zhi was stunned.
Butler Lin was also stunned.
The servants not far away were stunned too. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
But Gu Beichen was still talking to himself. "Dad, I believe Zhizhi isn't that kind of person. Don't be too hard on her."
"My god!" Jiang Zhi covered her mouth and screamed.
Butler Lin and the servants finally came to their senses and swarmed forward to help the howling Old Master Gu on the ground.
"Master! Are you okay?"
"The eldest young master has gone mad!"
"Quickly go and invite the doctor to check on the master!"
Old Master Gu was so angry that his eyes were blood - red, and his whole body was trembling as he pointed at Gu Beichen.
"You! You unfilial son! Scoundrel!"
"Dad?"
Gu Beichen finally realized what he had just done. At that moment, he felt as if the sky was falling.
Had he really kicked his father?
"Dad! Believe me, I didn't mean it!"
Old Master Gu was panting with anger. "Do you think I'm a fool?!"
He had seen clearly that this scoundrel had deliberately turned around just to kick him!
Seeing this scene, Jiang Miaomiao almost burst out laughing.
To add more fuel to the fire, she asked the system to bring up the next part of the plot.
[Original text: With a panicked look on his face, Gu Beichen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Old Master Gu's hand. "Dad, believe me. I'm your own son!"]
Hehe.
Jiang Miaomiao squinted and smiled.
[System, change grabbed Old Master Gu's hand to bit Old Master Gu's hand.]
The next instant, Gu Beichen, with a flustered look in his eyes, strode towards Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu naturally knew he was coming to seek forgiveness, but he wasn't going to forgive him so easily.
His son had grown up and had his own thoughts. He had to take this opportunity to discipline him well and make him act according to his will in the future.
Old Master Gu pretended to be cold and was about to speak when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his palm.
Looking down, he saw that Gu Beichen was biting his palm tightly.
"Ah ah ah!"
The old man's shrill scream pierced the silent night.
