Gu Yu's words infuriated Gu Xiong so badly that his face began to take on the shades of a painter's palette; his complexion turned green, then turned red before finally turning purple. With Mr. Gu Sr. watching, he could only maintain his composure regardless of how angry he felt. Eventually, he simply requested to return home on the pretext of not feeling well.
Mr. Gu Sr. waved his hand as he said, "If you're not feeling well, then head back and get some rest."
Gu Xiong rose from his seat, and his wife, Rong Fanghua, got up along with him. Naturally, their sons followed suit. Only Gu Xue dawdled behind, reluctant to leave. Given how furious her father was, she, unfortunately, couldn't ignore the situation. Thus, she turned her head back repeatedly on her way out.
With Gu Xiong and his family gone, the living room suddenly felt empty. Grandpa Gu sighed gently.
