Chapter 1015: The Cold-Hearted Overlord CEO

Bai Yunyue choked back tears as she touched her stinging face, turned away so no one would see her sorry state, and whispered to Gu GuJunyuan, who had not yet left.

"Xiao Han hates A Ting; I don't want Xiao Han to know my identity."

"No matter what, I must keep it hidden from him."

Gu GuJunyuan nodded, "Rest assured, this secret has been concealed for so many years; Xiao Han won't find out."

He paused, lifted his gaze to Bai Yunyue's pure and slender back, and asked, "Gu Yeting wants to kill Xiao Han; last night he just failed, but afterwards… what do you plan to do?"

Gu GuJunyuan first made his stance clear.

"You know, Gu GuJunyuan and I share the same father but different mothers; we don't have much brotherly feeling, but Xiao Han is the child I raised alone."

"I won't go easy on him."

Bai Yunyue's breath hitched, she turned to look at him, her eyes fixed on Gu GuJunyuan's face, and she slowly shook her head, "No, I… I'll think of something."

"Hmm."

Gu GuJunyuan responded, averting his gaze, took a coat from the rack, as if intending to drape it over him.

A presence utterly unlike Gu Yeting's approached; Bai Yunyue instinctively stepped back but couldn't avoid it, and the coat settled on her shoulders.

"This outfit isn't suitable for going out."

Gu GuJunyuan didn't touch him either; after draping the coat, he withdrew his arm, said that, and walked out of the room.

Bai Yunyue stared blankly for a moment, then touched her face again, which Gu Yeting had pinched red and sore.

Worried about Gu Han's injury, she hastily tightened her coat and followed him out the door.

——

Living Room.

Gu Han and Jin Chen sat opposite Old Master Gu, both showing marks where bandages were wrapped.

"Last night Jin Chen was kidnapped by Gu Yeting, and he even hired assassins to kill me—doesn't Grandfather care about this?"

Old Master Gu's face darkened with anger, his cane planted firmly on the ground, "Rest assured, Grandfather will give you an explanation."

What could make the ever-busy overlord CEO so furious? He had originally intended to investigate the Gu family's past himself, but decisively changed his plan.

It was because he suddenly discovered Jin Chen injured when he returned home last night.

Although Jin Chen kept saying he'd accidentally cut himself while pulling a rope, feeling no pain, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed only now.

Gu Han also seethed with anger at his bloodied forearm for a while.

Then, at dawn, he brought someone straight to the Gu family's old residence.

To make Old Master Gu punish him more severely, Gu Han even wrapped a few layers of bandages around himself, despite being unharmed.

Jin Chen was helpless, but went along with it.

Old Master Gu waited for Gu Yeting, and also had the housekeeper fetch the family law.

Gu Yeting stormed over just then, his thigh wound still aching dully, walking with a limp.

He felt no fear of Old Master Gu, nor did he think Gu Han would dare do anything at the old residence.

Old Master Gu had favored and indulged this son since childhood, but now, having come to this state and still laying hands on juniors, it's clearly overindulgence.

"Damn bastard!"

Old Master Gu shouted in anger, "You've really gone too far! You laid lethal hands on your little nephew—what deep grudge could justify this? Ah!"

The aged voice carried immense authority; the living room fell silent, nobody daring to make a sound.

"Lethal force? Where is he injured? If you're able, open it up and see." Gu Yeting nearly spat blood from rage.

"When Gu Han arrived yesterday, he was already tied up; Jin Chen's injury is somewhat understandable, but Gu Han hasn't suffered a thing!"

Old Master Gu: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Jin Chen looked this way, then that, his head buzzing from their arguing.

Holding his own overlord CEO's ear, he whispered, "Sir, it seems your grandfather only intends to discipline you with family law—how strict is the Gu family's family law?"

"Just a few lashes and you think you can get away with this? No way."

Gu Han spoke coldly, carefully shielding Jin Chen's bandaged arm in his embrace, "But Bai Yunyue might protect him……"

"That's a bit tricky."

Jin Chen leisurely lifted a cup of tea to sip, watching the Gu family members continue their quarrel.

Old Master Gu questioned Gu Yeting, "Why exactly are you hurting Xiao Han like this? There must be a reason!"

Gu Yeting roared, "Then why don't you ask your beloved grandson why he's coveting my wife! Coveting his aunt's father!"

"Pfft——"

Jin Chen spat out a mouthful of tea.

【Ahhhh so embarrassing!】0731 even curled their toes for them.

Jin Chen glanced in surprise at the petrified Old Master Gu, the corner of his mouth twitching, thinking, "Not being scared to death really shows Old Master Gu's iron will."

These words happened to be heard by Gu GuJunyuan and Bai Yunyue as they walked into the living room one after another.

Bai Yunyue bit her lip, embarrassed, "Gu Yeting! What nonsense are you spouting!"

This statement is utterly absurd; nobody believes it at all.

Gu GuJunyuan's face darkened, his voice sinking, "If you keep spouting nonsense, get out."

Gu Han felt a wave of embarrassment, his vision going dark.

But keenly observant, he noticed that Gu Yeting had said the word "uncle's father."

He guessed that Grandfather probably didn't know about this, so he didn't spell it out, merely saying, "Are you crazy? I have a boyfriend—if you have evidence, stop spouting nonsense!"

Gu Yeting turned around, glaring angrily at Gu Han, veins faintly pulsing on his forehead.

"I found out that when you were in college, you already had someone you liked—so tell me, who was it back then?"

Gu Han shouted back, "What's it to you?! I like Jin Chen, alright? I've had a crush on him since college!"

Jin Chen, who was watching the drama, never expected to also have a part; he hastily covered his face, feigning shyness, and was very cooperative.

Gu Yeting: "Bai Yunyue has returned to China several times to see you; dare you swear that you have never developed any other feelings for him?"

Gu Han immediately replied: "Yes."

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire living room fell silent.

Jin Chen held his breath, afraid that his family's domineering CEO would say something that would make the situation even more explosive.

"I treat him like a mother." Gu Han stated bluntly.

Gu Yeting: "……"

Jin Chen relaxed, and someone else was surprised.

Bai Yunyue instantly grew tense, her face paling, and she exchanged a shocked glance with Gu GuJunyuan.

Gu GuJunyuan spread his hands, indicating that he also didn't know why Gu Han would say that.

Old Master Gu was nearly frightened to the point of a heart attack by them, and he struck the tea table hard with his cane.

"Enough!"

"Gu Yeting! You really go to extremes, even able to say such nonsense!"

After scolding, he then looked at Gu Han, sighed, and said, "How do you plan to handle this?"

Gu Han sneered, "Jin Chen is injured in the arm; I want him to lose only one hand—isn't that fair?"

Old Master Gu furrowed his brows sharply, "Xiao Han!"

"Grandfather, if it weren't for the help of Jin Chen's friend yesterday, what you would see today would be a corpse."

"My corpse."

Old Master Gu's expression was complex: "You……are sitting here unharmed, and Jin Chen isn't seriously injured either; Grandfather guarantees you that this will absolutely be the last time."

"So Grandfather, between me and Gu Yeting, chose to protect him."

The atmosphere gradually began to become tense and confrontational.
