After about a 20 minute drive back from the Shu Family's home, the Gu family arrived back to their private villa.
Getting out of the car, Gu Xia stretched his body as he complimented his mother who was currently unbuckling her seatbelt.
"I have to say mother, You're good at remembering my minor achievements."
Gu Lin slightly blushed as she put both her hands on her cheeks.
"Of course I'll remember your achievements, every achievement you've made I know about... And I mean EVERY achievement."
For a second Gu Xia swore he saw his mother's eyes go empty for a split second.
Gu Luo, who got out of the car, ignored his wife and son and instead made his way into the villa without saying anything.
Gu Lin looked at her husband's back with a blank gaze.
She was utterly speechless tonight at how her husband acted in front of the Shu family.
'What the hell is wrong with him! He is the patriarch of the dignified Gu family and he acts like a pussy in front of a mere 2nd rate family such as the Shu family!?'
'I must say I lost a ton of respect for the man tonight...'
With a cold expression plastered on her face she slowly shook her head in disappointment.
"Mother?"
Gu Xia, who noticed his mothers expression, walked over to her and placed his right hand on her left shoulder.
"!?"
Feeling her son's sturdy warm hand on her left shoulder, Gu Lin's entire body went red and her cold expression disappeared instantly and was replaced with a shy expression.
"Li-Little Xia? W-Why are you touching my shoulder?"
Gu Lin asked with her head facing downward.
Every time she feels her son's touch her heart flutters and she feels a sense of peace.
Gu Xia looked at his mother's shy appearance with a gentle expression as he asked her a question.
"Mother, would you like me to have a talk with father? Because the way he handled himself tonight was unacceptable!"
Hearing her son's words Gu Lin looked into his blood red eyes with awe.
'T-This is how a dignified person from the Gu family should act!'
Gu Lin nodded slightly in response to her son's question as she whispered under her breath.
"If you don't mind..."
Gu Xia smiled.
"Of course I don't mind!"
Retracting his hand from his mothers shoulder, he turned around and walked toward the villa.
The gentle smile on Gu Xia's face shattered and was replaced with a pure cold expression, his eyes which were calm were replaced with darkness.
Closing his eyes he spoke in his inner voice.
[I will be a little late... Don't worry it won't affect the plan, Li Min, be obedient and be patient, I know your personality.]
Reopening his eyes, Gu Xia walked up to the villa's front doors.
Opening the doors, he walked inside and made his way to his father's office which was located on the second floor next to his parents bedroom.
Walking through the hallway, all the butlers and maids slightly bowed their heads in respect when they saw their young master.
Some maids even blushed and slightly showed off their decent curves hoping that their young master would take a fancy to them.
After all... If they could get such a man to like them it would be a heavenly gift!
Gu Xia only showed his handsome smile as he passed by and waved as he made his way up the spiral stairs.
All the maids who were showing off their curves did small victory dances inside their heads.
Gu Lin who was about to enter the front doors saw all of this playing out in front of her..
'These money grabbing gold digger whores!'
Her expression darkened and she motioned for the head butler of the Gu family, who immediately arrived in front of her.
"Your orders, my lady?"
The head butler who wore a white business suit, a light colored shirt and a business-style tie asked the madam of the household with a serious expression and tone.
Gu Lin leaned forward a little and whispered into the head butler's ear with a cold voice.
"Make sure these girls are dismissed at once."
The head butler did a 30 degree bow.
"It will be done at once, my lady."
With that said, the head butler retreated to accomplish his order, and Gu Lin walked to her bedroom to take a shower and head to bed.

Gu Xia, who was standing in front of his father's private office, knocked twice.
*Knock, knock.*
"May I come in please?"
Hearing no response, Gu Xia sighed and opened the door leading into his father's private office.
He could not give a fuck at all about privacy or any of that bullshit.
Entering in, Gu Xia was a little surprised as he gazed around.
His father wasn't inside his private office, this deeply surprised Gu Xia as his father was always inside this shit hole when he got home.
Gu Xia stood in place as he looked around, until he noticed the computer on his fathers desk had a message flashing on his desktop....
"What does that say?"
Gu Xia commented to himself with a hint of confusion.
With slight curiosity he decided to check it out.
He stepped over all of the papers that were scattered all over the floor and made his way to his father's desk.
Once Gu Xia arrived in front of his father's desk his eyes widened when he saw what the message said on the computer.
Opening his mouth he spoke the messages out loud to himself.
"I think I'm a spotlight and you're the light crew, because you turn me on..."
Gu Xia cringed when he said this sentence out loud as he felt like wanting to bleach his own eyes.
Trying his hardest not to blind himself he moved his hand onto the wireless mouse and moved the cursor over the message and clicked on it.
Instantly, a chat log appeared...
"No fucking way... He wouldn't dare..."
Gu Xia's eyes turned bloodshot as he scrolled upward, looking through the messages he felt like he wanted to kill his father with his bare hands.
All of the messages were that of flirting, images of nudes, and sending money...
Noticing something, Gu Xia stopped scrolling upward and read some of the messages out loud with a disgusted voice.
"Daddy Luo, I want a new purse!"
"Ok, anything for my little sugar cake."
"You're the best baby! I love you!"
"I love you too, next time we meet up you must give this big daddy a kiss on the lips."
"Of course, I'll show you a good time, something that your wife couldn't do!"
Closing his mouth and not reading any of the messages out loud any more, Gu Xia was beyond enraged...
His heart rate Increased, his mouth went dry, and he clenched fists.
"THIS FUCKING BASTARD!"
With a sudden roar of anger, Gu Xia raised his arm upward and like a hammer he smashed his father's desk.
*Smash!*
"He's a fucking dead man!"
[Host, please calm down!]
Gu Xia stood in place and responded to the system.
'Fuck no! How dare he cheat on my mother! I'm going to murder him and his side bitch!'
[Host...]
'System, did you know anything about this!? Not in any of my restarts did I know that fucker had an affair!'
[H-Host I really didn't know either.]
'Shit! How could I have not noticed!?'
[To be fair, the host was focusing on the plot... And your father is a 3rd rate character in the novel who only appeared at a couple of banquets and his death scene.]
Gu Xia didn't respond to the system and instead glared at the broken desk, he then looked toward the door.
As he was about to leave the room to have a 'chat' with his father, Gu Lin appeared with an emotionless expression at the door.
