"I don't recall ever agreeing to apologize to Gu Chenan, did I?"
"If anyone should apologize, it should be him apologizing to me. Me apologizing to him? Impossible!"
Liu Wan tilted her head and gritted her teeth, looking fierce.
"Wan!"
Liu Dong's expression changed to shock. "What nonsense are you talking about? What did I tell you before we came?"
"I said I won't apologize to Gu Chenan!" Liu Wan turned her head and retorted defiantly. "What's all this about him being the young master of the Gu family? How is that possible? After knowing him for so many years, how could he suddenly change his background overnight?"
As she spoke, Liu Wan looked at Gu Chenan with disdain, emphasizing, "Dad, I think you've definitely been fooled!"
Liu Wan's implication couldn't be clearer - she was saying this was all Gu Chenan's scheme.
"Shut your mouth!"
Liu Dong's sharp rebuke came instantly.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you off!"
The fact that Gu Chenan was Young Master Gu had been confirmed not only by Manager Zhang but also by several other important figures. How could it be fake when so many people confirmed it?
Chenan had even said he would still consider Liu Dong as Uncle Liu if they could get past this matter. Such a wonderful opportunity was usually impossible to come by!
If he really became Young Master Gu's Uncle Liu, all those important figures he usually had to flatter and please would mean nothing!
He had to secure Gu Chenan's support no matter what, absolutely no matter what!
Seeing that Liu Dong had no reaction to her words and even rebuked her, Liu Wan's princess-like temper exploded instantly.
She practically roared in fury.
"Dad, Gu Chenan had someone slap me right in front of you, how can you take his side now?"
"Putting aside the facts, are you saying Gu Chenan did nothing wrong?"
"Yes, fine, I did humiliate Gu Chenan in front of everyone at the banquet, but he's always been a useless shut-in, so what I said was understandable, wasn't it?"
"But what did he do? He just came up and slapped me without any explanation, and this Su Qianmo, she hit me too!"
"Dad, I want you to..."
"Slap!"
Before Liu Wan could finish speaking, a crisp slapping sound rang out.
Outside the private room, many people heard Liu Wan's roaring and began whispering among themselves.
"What's going on in there?"
"Why does Liu Dong's daughter sound like she's gone mad?"
...
Inside the private room.
Liu Dong pointed angrily at Liu Wan and said, "Wan, let me tell you, this is entirely your fault. You shouldn't have spoken so rudely to Chenan in front of all those people. Making you apologize to Chenan is completely reasonable!"
The slap stunned Liu Wan for several seconds.
In her memory, Liu Dong had never hit her since she was little, yet now he had slapped her because of Gu Chenan?!
"You hit me?"
Liu Wan gritted her teeth and looked up at Liu Dong furiously. "You actually hit me because of Gu Chenan?"
Seeing Liu Wan's defiant attitude, Liu Dong knew her personality - at this point, no matter what he said, Liu Wan would never apologize, and might even say worse things.
Having no choice, Liu Dong gave Li Lin a look and said, "Take Wan away first."
"Yes."
Li Lin immediately stood up and came to Liu Wan's side, saying, "Miss Liu, let's go."
"Go? Go where!"
Liu Wan stood up furiously, pointing at Gu Chenan, "Gu Chenan, let me tell you, don't think I'll ever apologize to you. It's impossible!"
Then she pointed at Su Qianmo and said, "And you, you bitch, I'll definitely pay you back for that slap!"
"Wan! You!"
Liu Dong panicked immediately. He had arranged this meeting to clear up the misunderstanding with Gu Chenan, but with Liu Wan causing such a scene, how could any misunderstanding be resolved?
However, before Liu Dong could utter another rebuke, Gu Chenan suddenly stood up with a dark expression, grabbed the wine bottle beside him, and smashed it down on Liu Wan's head.
Bang!
Red liquid splattered - whether it was wine or blood was unclear.
Liu Dong and the others were stunned.
Gu Chenan picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, looking at the dumbfounded Liu Wan, "If you speak rudely again, I won't mind making sure you can never speak again."
"You... you!"
Liu Wan's eyes widened, completely unprepared for Gu Chenan's direct action.
"Chenan, please calm down, calm down."
Liu Dong immediately stepped forward to mediate. Although Liu Wan had been hit with a wine bottle, he didn't dare to make a fuss given Gu Chenan's status.
Then, Liu Dong quickly turned to Li Lin and Wang Hu: "What are you standing there for? Quickly take Wan out!"
"Yes."
The two snapped out of their daze and hurriedly dragged the screaming Liu Wan out of the private room.
Outside, people had heard the commotion from within, and many were discussing it.
"Gu Chenan, remember this, I won't let you get away with it!"
At this moment, people saw Liu Wan being dragged out, her head covered in red.
"Damn, what's going on?"
"Isn't that Liu Dong's daughter? Looks like someone hit her with a wine bottle?"
"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's exactly what happened."
"She's shouting that she won't let Gu Chenan get away with it, does that mean Gu Chenan hit her?"
"No way, Gu Chenan already hit Liu Wan in front of Liu Dong before, and now he hit her again? Is he that bold? Doesn't he fear death?"
Unlike the discussions outside the private room, inside was dead silent.
Gu Chenan sat with a dark expression, saying nothing, while Su Qianmo crossed her arms, clearly dissatisfied.
Liu Dong awkwardly opened a new bottle of wine and came forward to fill Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo's glasses, saying, "Chenan, Miss Su, Wan has a bad temper, please be understanding..."
Liu Dong was speechless inside.
He had invited Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo here today for an apology, but with Liu Wan causing such a scene, how was this anything like an apology? It was more like picking a fight!
"Chenan, don't worry, I'll definitely make Liu Wan apologize to you and Miss Su. This whole thing was her fault from the beginning, and when we're wrong, we should admit it."
Gu Chenan slightly calmed his anger and drank the wine Liu Dong had poured in one gulp.
"I'll be waiting."
...
Let's post this chapter again.
The plot is almost complete, writing more would just be padding. After the remaining female leads appear, I'll write some daily life scenes before wrapping it up.
To be honest, this book's earnings have never met my expectations, but I kept writing because of the constant support from my readers. Thank you, really, thank you so much.
I've gained a lot of experience from this book, and in the next one, I'll avoid certain toxic elements and unreasonable aspects beforehand. I've almost finished planning the new book and will start writing soon. Thank you everyone.
