Jia Ling’s face was also filled with guilt. Even if she was unwilling that he gave away the assets, she definitely did not dare to mention this in front of Old Master Cui.
Once it was mentioned, it was no different from challenging Old Master Cui’s dignity.
Moreover, they had already quarreled last time. If Old Master Cui knew that she was disobedient and still attacked Gu Man, she would definitely suffer.
The room fell silent, but this did not ease the situation. Instead, it angered Old Master Cui even more.
He thought about what he had just heard, his eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment. His gaze landed on Cui Hong and he suppressed his anger. “You’ve disappointed me too much.”
Cui Hong’s heart beat violently at this moment. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but he realized that this was indeed his fault. It was an undeniable fact that he had not managed Jia Ling well.
“Dad…” His lips moved, but he could not say anything suitable for the current situation. Cui Hong let out a breath and looked at Old Master Cui. “I was wrong, but the most important thing now is to find Gu Man.”
Old Master Cui snorted and turned to leave the room. His footsteps were windy. One could tell from his back that he was anxious and angry.
Jia Ling suddenly raised her voice, her sharp voice echoing in the entire room. “I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong. I’m clearly doing this for your own good. Otherwise, do you think I would do this? Did 1 do it because I was bored? It’s all because you gave away your assets. It’s fine if you give away such a huge asset, but you didn’t give it to your biological daughter and instead gave it to a little b*tch outside. I think you’ve all been seduced by her tricks!”
She questioned indignantly, her tears falling to the ground like broken pearls.
Old Master Cui was not too far away, so he naturally heard Jia Ling’s voice clearly. He was so angry that he took a few deep breaths, but he could not relieve his anger. He reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest. His eyes widened, and his vision gradually blurred. He actually fainted and rolled down the stairs.
“Old Master Cui!” Uncle Li’s voice was especially anxious as he quickly ran down.
Cui Hong slapped Jia Ling again and left.
The entire Cui family was busy. Even Cui Lin, who was outside, received a call and rushed towards the Cui family in a hurry.
He looked at Old Master Cui, who was lying on the bed, with heartache and coldness in his eyes. “Who did it? His condition was clearly very stable previously. He’s obviously agitated now.”
Cui Hong felt a little guilty. He licked his lips and said, “Cui Lin, something small happened, but this is not the key. Let’s treat Dad first.”
Cui Lin snorted. “Don’t think that I don’t know anything just because I’m not in the Cui Family. I know how to treat illnesses, but I definitely won’t let anyone off today.”
As he spoke, Cui Lin looked at Jia Ling, who was sitting in the corner in a daze.
Jia Ling did not expect that her complaint would actually anger Old Master Cui. Looking at Old Master Cui lying on the bed, her eyes finally revealed a lingering fear. At this moment, Jia Ling only had one thought in her mind, and that was that she was done for.
“Have you arranged for the people on your side?” Cui Hong stood in front of Jia Ling and expected better from someone.
Jia Ling quickly nodded and agreed. “I’ve already called him and given him the money. He promised not to hurt Gu Man. I didn’t know that such a thing would happen. I just want our family’s assets back. Cui Hong understands me the best. You know that.”
She reached out and grabbed the corner of Cui Hong’s shirt helplessly, her eyes filled with pleading.
Cui Hong looked at her eyes and could not bear to see her like this. He closed his eyes and said, “I’ll resolve this matter, but you’ll suffer.”
“As long as you don’t chase me out of the Cui Family, I can do anything. You know that I’m doing this for the Cui Family’s own good. I just didn’t expect him to be so agitated. I won’t be like this next time. You have to help me say a few good words in front of Dad.” Jia Ling’s eyes were filled with fear. She reached out helplessly and held her head..
