When Hong'er was called in, she still looked confused and stood in front of Gu Zhao, waiting for instructions.

Gu Zhao looked at Mr. Gao coldly, "You can start."

As soon as Mr. Gao hesitated, he was glared at by Gu Youfu.

The ferocity in that look made Gao jump to her feet. She knew that if she slowed down a little bit, she would be greeted with a good beating.

After following Gu Youfu for decades, she had already learned from experience that when Gu Youfu could bargain, it was best to act immediately.

Even so, when she moved to Hong'er, she still couldn't open her mouth.

It is too embarrassing to apologize to a servant in front of so many people...

When Hong'er saw Mrs. Gao approaching, she subconsciously took two steps back. She was already deeply aware of how arrogant and unreasonable this woman was.

The key is that she is still the biological mother of the young lady. With her own status, even if she is beaten, she cannot say no.

Hong'er lowered her head.

Mrs. Gao opened her mouth several times but could not say a word, which made Gu Youfu angry. He walked towards Mr. Gao, ready to give Mrs. Gao a good meal.

"Little girl, I'm sorry!" Mrs. Gao was frightened and apologized quickly, "I shouldn't have pushed you. It was my fault that you broke your head."

Hong'er was stunned. She almost thought there was something wrong with her ears and she heard wrongly.

How could a person like Gao admit his mistake?

Moreover, she is the young lady’s biological mother. How dare she become a servant?

Hong'er was so frightened that she took a few steps back and looked at Gu Zhao pleadingly, "Miss, Miss..."

Gu Zhao gestured to her to reassure her, "What, my Gu Zhao's maid can be bullied by anyone? Let her admit her mistake to you until you forgive her!"

Hong'er fidgeted with her hands, her face full of panic, "That's the master, and I'm just a slave. How dare you become a servant?"

Gu Zhao snorted, "Servants are also human beings, and they can't be beaten by anyone they want! Besides, when will it be someone else's turn to beat my Gu Zhao people?"

Hong'er looked at Gu Zhao's face and then at Gao's expression, hesitant, not knowing what to say.

Gao's teeth clenched loudly. If Gu Youfu hadn't glared at her, she would have quarreled with Gu Zhao.

Wasn't it just a casual push that broke a layer of skin? As for making such a fuss, asking her to apologize to a servant?

When he beat Gu Zhao, there were many more serious situations than this, so why didn't Gu Zhao kill the couple?

But no matter how unwilling she was, Gao also knew that they were begging Gu Zhao at this moment. If Gu Zhao was not satisfied, their family might be imprisoned.

She mobilized the muscles on her face and forced out a forced smile, "Miss Hong'er, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again. If you don't forgive me, will I kowtow to you?"

Hong'er said "Ah", "No, no, it's okay, I'm okay, I forgive you."

She couldn't bear the thought of having her own mother kowtow to her.

Gao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave, but saw Gu Zhao staring at her, so she could only say dryly, "Thank you, Miss Hong'er, you are such a generous and good girl."

Gu Zhao nodded, "Brother Shen, take her and Gu Jiabao to the door of the wing to apologize to Mr. Yuan."

Just as Gu Jiabao was about to make a scene, Gu Youfu slapped him on the head, and he immediately calmed down.

Mrs. Gao didn't have the guts to resist, so she could only lower her head and leave the main room under the supervision of the little cranes.

Qin Xinglie had already come down from the roof and returned to his room.

Gu Zhao clasped his hands behind his back and followed at the end, arriving at the door of the east wing unhurriedly.

Gao's face was burning. She didn't know whether it was because she was beaten by Gu Youfu just now, or because she was ashamed because she was forced to admit her mistakes and apologize again and again.

Fortunately, I have already done it once, so if I do it again, it will not be that difficult.

Gu Zhao opened the door curtain and entered the room, leaving only one sentence, "Just apologize outside the door, don't come in."

Yuan Fu definitely didn't like to see the Gu family in such an ugly state.

But Gu Zhao would never allow anyone to offend Yuan Fu like this.

Qin Xinglie was lying on the beauty's couch under the window, with the book in his hand covering his eyes. He didn't get up when he heard Gu Zhao's footsteps.

He felt that the toxins in his body were still surging restlessly. If he opened his eyes, those red eyes would probably scare Gu Zhao.

The footsteps approached gently, and Qin Xinglie could already feel the unique aura on Gu Zhao's body.

"Yuan Fu, I've made you feel wronged." The side beside him sank slightly, and it was Gu Zhao who sat on the couch, and there was a gentle rubbing force above his head.

The exposed corners of Qin Xinglie's mouth curled up slightly, he raised his hand to hold Gu Zhao's hand that was touching the top of his head, pulled it down and put it to his mouth for a kiss.

He didn't take the people of the Gu family seriously, but he felt aggrieved and angry because of what A Zhao had suffered.

It was because he showed up too late and didn't give her a stable past.

Gao's dry voice came from outside the window, "Cousin, it was all my fault just now. I shouldn't have a bad mouth and I shouldn't offend you. Please forgive me and don't argue with me."

Gu Jiabao screamed in pain, probably because he was beaten again, and followed Gao with a cry, "Cousin, I was wrong, I shouldn't scold you, I shouldn't laugh at you, I shouldn't drive you away, I was wrong

, I don’t dare anymore, I don’t dare anymore.”

Qin Xinglie sighed softly and squeezed Gu Zhao's hand, "It's nothing, I just feel sorry for you."

He once experienced the feeling of being treated as an ant in the grass by his loved ones.

No matter how strong a person is, if he is treated like this when he is a child, he will constantly wonder if he has done something wrong and will try his best to let his parents see him.
