My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 817 - : Qiao Yin is Here!
Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Qiao Yin is Here!
After a difficult night, Gu Jing was forced to cram a ton of knowledge, leaving him in a daze with a splitting headache, feeling as if his brain wasn’t his own anymore.
Usually, after a night out, he’d return home in the morning full of energy, not feeling tired at all.
But now, he wished he could just fall asleep standing.
To make matters worse, Gu Guotai wouldn’t let him sleep and demanded that he recite what he had learned the night before.
How could Gu Jing possibly recite it?
So, as expected, he ended up getting a thrashing with a wooden plank.
...
When Hou Jinhua arrived, the scene she encountered was her son being beaten with a plank.
Gu Jing was being held down by two bodyguards, completely immobile, while Gu Guotai personally wielded the plank on his buttocks, the strikes causing Gu Jing to scream continuously, instantly driving away his sleepiness.
Hou Jinhua charged over frantically, “Dad, stop hitting him! Are you trying to kill Jing?”
The housekeeper immediately stepped forward to block her, speaking with utmost respect, “Wife, the old master is merely disciplining the young master. Please step back.”
“How dare you block me? Move out of my way!”
Hou Jinhua pushed the housekeeper forcefully, thinking her strong shove would surely knock him to the ground. To her surprise, the housekeeper didn’t budge an inch!
She was shocked, unable to understand how the housekeeper, who was well over fifty, could be so robust!

However, at that moment, she couldn’t be concerned with the housekeeper’s physical condition. She anxiously shouted, “Dad, Jing can’t withstand this kind of beating! Please stop! He is your only grandson; if you kill him, there will be none left!”
Gu Guotai had already finished the punishment in a short time, not even glancing at Hou Jinhua, he said to the bodyguards, “Take the young master back to his room to rest, and call the family doctor to apply medicine to him.”
The two bodyguards responded in unison, lifting Gu Jing up and hauling him away.
Hou Jinhua hurried after them, “Jing, Jing, say something. How are you? Should we go to the hospital?”
Gu Jing’s face was streaked with tears, and he cried out hoarsely, “Mom, please save me! Grandpa simply doesn’t treat me like a human! I want to go home, I don’t want to stay at grandpa’s anymore! If I stay, I won’t have a life left!”
Hou Jinhua’s heart wrenched. Her son had never suffered like this growing up.
She wanted to follow into the room to take care of her son but was unceremoniously pushed aside by the bodyguards, “The old master has ordered that the wife cannot come near the young master. Please stop here!”
After the bodyguard finished speaking, he closed the door with a “bang”.
Hou Jinhua stood outside, only able to hear her son’s wails from the room.
Distressed and in tears, she knew appealing to Gu Guotai would be futile, so she had no choice but to call Gu Chengqiao.
When Gu Chengqiao heard that his son had been struck with a plank, he came immediately.
As soon as he entered the living room, he heard his son’s pitiful cries, and a chill swept down his back.
He rushed into the study room, “Dad, what are you doing? There should be a limit to disciplining a child. How could you beat him like this on the very first day?”
Gu Guotai, who had not slept all night, frustrated by his incompetent grandson and a son who was just too protective, looked worn out. His aged face was filled with fatigue, “If I don’t get serious, he won’t take his studies seriously!”
“But you don’t have to beat him like that. Listen to how miserably he’s crying! How can you bear it?”
“You and your wife only know how to pamper him, turning him into a spoiled brat, as sensitive as a girl. When I was educating Xuanxuan, she was more resilient than him! Xuanxuan was also disciplined with a plank. Did she cry out? No, she did not!”
“But—”
“Enough, I’ve said it before, none of you are to interfere. Leave at once, and do not come back without my permission! It’s better if you don’t come at all. The minute you arrive, he cries even harder because he’s hoping you’ll save him! He can’t have that hope! Otherwise, he’ll never grow up!”
As Gu Guotai spoke, the housekeeper suddenly rushed out in haste.
Moments later, he hurried back in.
Gu Guotai furrowed his brows, “What’s happened?”
“Old master, Qiao Yin is here!”
