"Second Brother, Shuzhi, you've disappointed me!" Gu Hongwei's voice was filled with anger.
Gu Shuzhi immediately stood up, saying, "Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have fanned the flames."
The evidence was undeniable, and he couldn't refute it. He decided to admit his mistake honestly, hoping to regain some favor from his grandfather.
Moreover, he was the one who had exacerbated the situation, as the initial trouble had originated from the second branch. Being younger but Gu Zhao'an's elder, he drew much of the criticism away from him.
After his apology, Gu Hongwei's expression softened slightly, though he still warned Gu Zhaoye, "Your child is reckless. As a father, are you also irresponsible?"
Gu Zhaoye was taken aback, thinking, "What does this have to do with me?!"
Gu Shuzhi suddenly saw the benefit of having a father who could still be useful, especially in situations like this.
