Chapter 523: The Tables Had Turned (4)
The middle-aged man was a businessman. He knew very well that he should quit while he was ahead, so he nodded slightly to his daughter.
The young woman understood what her father meant and she quickly nodded at Lu Zijia. “Yes.”
The young woman’s reply made Gu Cheng and Dong Meilan both heave a sigh of relief.
People around started whispering, thinking that this young woman was too kind-hearted.
At the same time, they also implied that Gu Nian, who was aggressive towards the young woman and her father before, was narrow-minded.
Hearing those whispers, Dong Meilan could only feel resentful in her mind, but pretended not to hear them on the outside.
After all, even though the status of the Gu family was quite high in the capital, it was impossible for them to go against so many families present.
Hearing the young woman’s reply, Lu Zijia nodded slowly. “Alright, if you’re satisfied, we’ll let this incident end. What do you think, Mr. Gu and Madam Gu?”
Lu Zijia said as she looked at Gu Cheng and his wife.
Gu Cheng and his wife had been looking forward to this. How could they possibly not be satisfied?
“Of course, of course. Thank you for your kindness, Master.” Gu Cheng replied with grat.i.tude.
Even though he looked extremely grateful on the face, he was really frustrated and resentful in his mind.
The person who was humiliated was his daughter, but he still had to apologize to this person who humiliated her right now! He was so furious that he almost crushed his teeth!
Dong Meilan also agreed and tried to help her daughter up tentatively at the same time. Seeing that Lu Zijia didn’t object, she helped her daughter, who was still kneeling on the ground, up openly.
After this incident, Gu Nian seemed to have suffered quite a huge blow. After being helped up by her mother, she still lowered her head and remained silent, so no one could see her current emotions.
“Since the two of you have agreed, I hope you can keep your promise and forget about it.”
Lu Zijia said as she glanced at the father and daughter pair with an obvious meaning.
Gu Cheng and his wife really planned to give the father and daughter a hard time after this incident tonight.
However, after hearing what Lu Zijia said, they certainly couldn’t do what they planned before.
“Master, don’t worry. We’ll definitely keep our promise.” Gu Cheng promised.
After getting the promise, Lu Zijia smiled with satisfaction and thought to herself at the same time, “It’s really nice to crash the scene tonight.”
Not only did she expose Gu Nian, this fake master, but also destroyed the reputation of Gu Nian and the Gu family in everyone’s minds. The Gu family could be said to have suffered a double loss tonight.
“Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master.”
The middle-aged man originally wanted to leave the capital immediately with his daughter when he got home.
After all, the father and daughter had offended the Gu family and made the Gu family suffer such a huge loss. They certainly wouldn’t let the father and daughter go. Unexpectedly, Master Lu had already seen this and even helped the father and daughter resolve their worries.
At this moment, the middle-aged man and the young woman were extremely grateful to Lu Zijia.
Lu Zijia waved her hand, telling them not to thank her and that they could leave at the same time.
The middle-aged man had wanted to leave this banquet that gave him a very bad impression a long time ago. Now that he got Lu Zijia’s permission, he certainly couldn’t wait to leave.
After thanking Lu Zijia sincerely again, he left quickly with his daughter.
And the three men, who were bribed to act with Gu Nian, also took the opportunity to leave.
Lu Zijia saw it, but she didn’t stop them. After all, those three men were already useless.
Just when everyone thought the incident was over, they heard Lu Zijia speak again.
