Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 2219 - 2223: Saying One Thing, Doing Another

Gu Junzhu stared intently at him.

He rubbed his face, covered his mouth and nose with a hand, and said muffledly, “Recently, Ruan Feifei came to me… She was drunk, crying continuously… She said she’s very much in love with Li Su. She’s already with Li Su, but Li Su’s parents think she’s an orphan and not good enough for him, they don’t agree with Li Su marrying her…”

Gu Junzhu looked at him, his gaze cool, “And then?”

“And then…” Zhan Jinchuan said with difficulty, “I called Li Su’s father, I told him that Ruan Feifei is my lifesaver, and that I’ve acknowledged her as my sworn sister…”

Gu Junzhu’s anger flared, and he slammed the coffee table and stood up, “Brother Chuan, do you know what this implies?”

Zhan Jinchuan had never seen Gu Junzhu this furious before, and he was a bit helpless.

He too stood up, “Xiao Zhu, don’t get angry yet, listen to my explanation…”

“Explain? Explain what?” Gu Junzhu raised his voice to question, “Do you know what your status is in the eyes of outsiders? You’re an adopted son of the Gu Family, you’re a member of the Gu Family, and everything you do represents the Gu Family!”

“You called Li Su’s father and said that Ruan Feifei is your sworn sister, Li Su’s father would automatically think that Ruan Feifei is someone the Gu Family wants to protect!”

“Li Su’s father will think, if he doesn’t agree to Li Su marrying Ruan Feifei, then he’s offending the Gu Family!”

“Perhaps he would even be complacent, thinking that if his son marries Ruan Feifei, it would be an alliance with you, Zhan Jinchuan, and our Gu Family!”

“Or perhaps, he might be resentful, thinking that you, Zhan Jinchuan, and our Gu Family are overreaching, even interfering with whom his son marries.”

“If in the future there’s any problem in Li Su and Ruan Feifei’s marriage or if Ruan Feifei does anything foolish or wrong, you’ll be the one blamed as the root cause by the Li Family!”

“Have you considered all these scenarios?”

Zhan Jinchuan’s face turned red from being scolded by him.

“I’m sorry…” he said with difficulty, “I thought about it… but Feifei was crying so sadly, I…”

He really couldn’t bear it, so he called Li Su’s father.

He was an adult.

Moreover, a capable and clever adult.

His family’s elder was fair and just, never bending the rules.

His current position was attained step by step due to his abilities, and the existence of his family’s elder only ensured that his talents weren’t buried, and his merits weren’t claimed by others.

He rose to his current status by relying on his own capabilities.

He was by no means a muddle-headed and incompetent man.

But when it came to Ruan Feifei, he could never harden his heart.

Even knowing that he shouldn’t call Li Su’s father, seeing Ruan Feifei drunk and heartbroken, he just couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

He knew it was wrong, but he did it anyway.

At this moment, facing Gu Junzhu’s questioning, he could only say, “Xiao Zhu, I’m very sorry, truly… I’m very sorry… But Feifei saved my life, I couldn’t just watch her broken-hearted… I…”

“She saved your life?” Gu Junzhu’s voice rose, “Then what? Was it not my dad who saved your life, or was it not me who saved your life? In your heart, are our father and son, and the whole Gu Family, not as important as your intimate confidante?”

Such an accusation was too heavy.

Zhan Jinchuan’s reddened face gradually turned pale, “Xiao Zhu, it’s not like that. In my heart, of course, you and Dad and our family are the most important.”
