The slap was so forceful that Ms. Qian's face swiftly swelled up.
Gu Zhong hurried over, chiding Gu Fei. "Little Fei, how could you strike an elder!"
Gu Fei sneered. "Does she act like an elder?"
"She spouts nonsense the moment she opens her mouth. She's clearly trying to get our whole family killed. Are those the kind of words someone should just throw around?"
Gu Zhong frowned. "But you still shouldn't have hit her!"
The Gu brothers and Gu Zhang quickly closed in, lining up behind Gu Fei and glaring fiercely at Gu Zhong and his wife.
Gu Zhong flinched. 'His second brother had three sons. That was all the backing they needed.'
'Unlike him, who only had his one son, Bao'er, after more than twenty years of marriage. His own family was no match for them.'
Gu Zhong sighed and tugged on Ms. Qian's sleeve. "Come on. We need to eat quickly so we can get back on the road."
