Chapter 930 — So What If We're Bullying You?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Bullying you? The word 'bully' has never once appeared in the Yu family's dictionary!" Yu Bide burst out laughing and slapped his palm down on the marble coffee table before him. In an instant the hard natural marble shattered into a thousand fragments, shards spraying in every direction, several of them striking Gu Pengzhan's face and tearing his skin open!
Gu Pengzhan stood there, an indescribable desolation on his face. The crisis of the Gu family had come, and yet he had no countermeasure ready!
"The second condition I can agree to. The group's shares, I will transfer all of them to you. But the first condition... Yaoyao cannot marry into your Yu family!" Gu Pengzhan hesitated a moment, then at last made his decision.
The company could be lost, but Yaoyao he could not lose! Marry into the Yu family as a concubine? She would surely suffer every hardship thereafter. How could he ruin her happiness? Besides, whom she married was her own choice; how could he interfere?
"Words spoken by the Yu family are water poured out—is there any taking them back?" Yu Haitian said coldly. "Gu Pengzhan, you had best think this through. We are not haggling with you; we are letting you choose for yourself. Either your whole family dies, or your daughter weds and you pay. Choose."
"Don't push a man too far!" Gu Pengzhan clenched his jaw, fury blazing in both his eyes. His hands balled into fists, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably...
"Too far?" Yu Bide laughed with an easy, elegant air. "We are bullying you—so what? Do as you please. Go find people, find helpers. But just see who dares take up trouble with the Yu family. Remember the identity behind our house—the rules of the secular world do not apply to the hidden clans!"
With that remark Yu Bide had subtly made his point: if Gu Pengzhan had reinforcements, let him bring them out now, quickly—no more hiding. He meant to draw out the power behind Wei Zhao. And of course, if Wei Zhao did not step forward to help, that would prove Wei Zhao had no power behind him at all, and then the Yu family could knead him however they pleased!
"You..." A sharp pain clenched in Gu Pengzhan's chest. He pressed a hand over it, breathing hard. He had not expected the Yu family to refuse even to negotiate their terms—whatever they wanted, they took. He had already made concessions, and still they pressed him step by step!
"By the way, isn't your daughter's bodyguard rather impressive? Don't want to marry her off? Fine—so long as he can show some real strength, I'll let her off!" Fearing Gu Pengzhan might forget the power behind Wei Zhao, Yu Bide added this reminder.
"..." Gu Pengzhan was left somewhat speechless. He did not understand Yu Bide's meaning; he thought Yu Bide knew full well that Wei Zhao had lost all his strength and was deliberately taunting him. Otherwise, if Wei Zhao's strength were intact, how would they dare come knocking together like this?
"Think it over yourself. Give us an answer within the next couple of days! You have only two days!" With that, Yu Bide and Yu Haitian left Gu Pengzhan's office together.
Watching their departing backs, Gu Pengzhan sank weakly to the ground! He did not know what to do, or how to do it! Disaster had already descended on the Gu family—but whom could he blame? Regret was useless to Gu Pengzhan now!
If not for his own soft-heartedness back then, which had given Jin Gubang ideas and bred disloyalty in him, uniting him with Zhao Qibing, today's troubles would never have come to pass! Human greed is boundless; with men like Jin Gubang and Zhao Qibing, once the seed of craving sprouted, it would grow without limit as time passed. Wei Zhao's arrival had made them give up for a while, but the moment Wei Zhao lost his strength, those greedy men came knocking again!
