My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 814 - : The Arrogant and Foolish Daughter-in-law

Chapter 814: Chapter 814: The Arrogant and Foolish Daughter-in-law

Hou Jinhua was both shocked and angry. At a time like this, her son was actually blaming her?

Gu Guotai immediately frowned, “Jing, were you there at the time? When Old Madam Lu was present, why didn’t you speak up? What happened then? Did your mother really intentionally hurt someone?”

Gu Jing turned his face away, “I arrived later. As soon as I got to Qiao Yin’s office, I saw my mom pinning Qiao Yin to the ground, stretching out her hand to scratch at Qiao Yin, mauling half of her face until it was bloody, with blood continuously flowing.”

“How could I say such a thing in front of the Old Madam? She was ranting about it being an accident. Could I possibly discredit her by saying she did it on purpose? Wouldn’t that make people look down on my mom?”

“That Old Madam so formidable, if I had spoken up about it, she would probably have been even more relentless. In the end, our home would suffer. I would surely wait until she left before saying anything.”

Everyone looked at him with some surprise; they had not expected him to be capable of such thought!

...

Gu Jing couldn’t stand their gazes and rolled his eyes, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look like someone who would betray his own mother? I’m not that heartless!”

Gu Guotai glanced at him, “You may have some cunning, but not much. Stop messing around outside. You’re 23 years old now. It’s time to restrain your passions and learn how to manage the corporation and expand the family.”

But Gu Jing didn’t take his words seriously. Gu Guotai always talked like this. He would play if he wanted to play. The management of the corporation didn’t need him, the Eldest Miss was there, after all!

Seeing his father had finished giving instructions and his temper had mostly subsided, Gu Chengqiao then said, “Dad, there’s something else I need to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

“Lu Mingzhen has proposed an alliance marriage with our home. He said…”

Hou Jinhua was taken aback and hurriedly interrupted him, “Chengqiao, such a big matter and I haven’t heard you mention it? When did this happen? The Lu Family wants an alliance marriage with us, and their old madam still came over to provoke us? They’re not taking the Gu Family seriously enough!”

Gu Chengqiao was extremely annoyed with her, Gu Guotai hadn’t seen Qiao Yin’s face, but he had, and the injury was serious. It showed just how ruthless Hou Jinhua’s inner heart was to inflict such heavy blows. She had intentionally set out to disfigure Qiao Yin.

His tone could not help but carry some irritation, “Lu Mingzhen just brought it up to me tonight! It’s just a preliminary thought. Whether it will come to fruition is not yet certain!”

“Their old madam doesn’t even know about it yet. If she did, she might not even want your daughter as a granddaughter-in-law! And here you are complaining about her coming over to provoke?”

“Do you realize, if the news of your malicious disfigurement gets out, people will seriously reconsider any marriage proposals. You might have ruined your daughters’ chances of marriage!”

Hou Jinhua at first tensed up inside, then scoffed, “Daughters of the Gu Family don’t worry about marrying off. My two daughters are beautiful; others wish they could marry them but can’t! Don’t stand there puffing up others and belittling your own family.”

She had always had this proud attitude, considering herself above all others, with the severe temper of an Eldest Miss.

In the past, Gu Guotai was willing to tolerate her on account of her having raised several children, but now, the more he looked at her, the more displeased he became. He even felt that the Hou Family’s upbringing was problematic, raising such a disdainful, short-sighted woman who lived in her own world, both arrogant and foolish.

He coldly said, “Chengqiao’s wife, hasn’t your family ever taught you not to interrupt indiscriminately in front of your elders? Chengqiao is reporting to me about the Lu Family’s intention for an alliance marriage. I haven’t spoken yet. Is it your turn to speak?”
