Chapter 485

"Hasn't there been enough harm done?" Shu Xia asked with a smile.

Just then, Gu Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang.

Gu Cheng originally didn't want to answer, but seeing it was a call from Gu Jianzhang, he picked up, "Little Uncle, is something the matter?"

"When are you coming home?" Gu Jianzhang asked.

"I'm accompanying Shu Xia to handle some things today, and we still have to eat together after we're done. I'll head home once we've finished eating. I'm old enough now, you don't need to worry." Gu Cheng rolled his eyes inwardly; not only did his parents treat him like a child, but his little uncle treated him like one too.

Suddenly thinking of something, he added, "By the way, Little Uncle, do you know the Lin Family? Someone in their family just said they wanted to kill me. Although I'm not the only seedling of our Gu Family, I am still a member of the Gu Family, right? My parents aren't in Jing City, so you'll help me resolve this, won't you?"

Gu Cheng was never a person afraid of stirring up trouble.

"The Lin Family? The family of Shu Xia's biological parents? Have they been giving you and Shu Xia a hard time?"

Gu Jianzhang's voice on the phone turned abruptly cold as ice.

Gu Cheng gave a light, airy "Mm."

"You wait there, and protect Shu Xia." Gu Jianzhang hung up the phone after saying this.

And the few members of the Lin Family, upon seeing Gu Cheng's attitude and hearing the two words "Gu Family," were struck as if by lightning.

The Gu Family...

It couldn't be the Gu Family they were thinking of, could it?

"I heard Gu Lao has a grandson named Gu Cheng; you couldn't possibly be..." The more Lin Miao spoke, the wider her eyes grew, and the more incredulous she became.

"Tsk, it's me." Gu Cheng admitted it directly.

Shu Xia hadn't expected Gu Jianzhang to call at this moment; this one phone call had scared Lin Guanda and the others out of their wits.

They had always been the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"It was just a misunderstanding earlier..." Lin Bin attempted to salvage the situation.

Who could have guessed that the colleague Shu Xia brought back was actually Gu Lao's grandson!

If they had known, Lin Xu would never have dared to say such crazy things, and the person in question, Lin Xu, was completely stunned, "How could you be Gu Lao's grandson?"

Gu Lao's grandson would be on good terms with Shu Xia?

Shu Xia grew up in the countryside, was unrefined and ignorant; was Gu Cheng blind to be on good terms with Shu Xia?

"If I'm not, then are you? With your character, my grandfather wouldn't even look at you." Gu Cheng curled his lips, his arrogance and disdain completely undisguised.

He then looked at Shu Xia, "You aren't even on the same household registration, so why are they so thick-skinned? Keeping on saying you're family? If family is like this, they can be thrown away."

Shu Xia's red lips curled upward, and she nodded earnestly, "You're right, it's fortunate I threw them away long ago."

"Let's go." Shu Xia felt there was no need to stay a second longer.

Gu Cheng glanced at Lin Xu, "I'm waiting for you to come and kill me."

"Wait!" Lin Qi urged anxiously.

Shu Xia looked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi said anxiously, "Please explain to him that it was a misunderstanding just now. If we had known he was Gu Lao's grandson, Lin Xu wouldn't have made a move, and we wouldn't have spoken like that. Please don't let him hold a grudge against us because of this. Also, can you find Qiao Muting and ask him to help us?"

"Why should I?" Shu Xia countered.

Gu Cheng scoffed, "You guys are idiots, but I'm not. Misunderstanding my foot! Good dogs don't block the road, move!"

Gu Cheng stepped forward and pushed Lin Qi aside.

At that moment, no one dared to stop Gu Cheng.

"Because I am your father! He is your brother!" Lin Guanda's voice rose sharply.

Then, feeling that wasn't enough, he turned back to Chen Xiuyue and said, "Are you mute?"

Chen Xiuyue met Lin Guanda's gloomy gaze and laughed bitterly, "Back then, you were the one who didn't want Shu Xia's household registration moved over, fearing she would split our family assets. Now you say you're her father and I'm her mother—how could she possibly acknowledge us!"
