Because of the sudden loud voice, the screen that was originally lit up had turned off after a few seconds of inactivity.

 Gu Linye looked quite unpleasant as he entered the room, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

 It felt like cold air just appeared out of nowhere and started to fill the whole room, penetrating into everyone. Even Gu Linye, while in his angry state, was starting to shiver.

 Gu Hengxiao looked at Gu Linye and scolded him. “What are you talking about? Your brother and I are discussing important business matters. You don’t even have the common decency to knock before coming into the room?”

 The secretary sitting beside: “…”

 Gu Hengxiao had just been urging Gu Linzheng to call his wife.

 Gu Linye resented his father’s tone, albeit still being furious in the inside. However, he knew he was wrong to rush into the room. He looked at Gu Linzheng and said, “Brother, listen to me. Tang Chi scolded me today! I was kind enough to offer her a ride to school and she scolded me! Isn’t that too much?”

 After listening to Gu Linye, Gu Linzheng furrowed his brows tighter. “She scolded you?”

 Based on Gu Linzheng’s impression of Tang Chi, this was absolutely impossible.

 This was also widely because he knew his own brother’s behavior.

 Gu Linzheng showed a doubtful expression in his cold eyes. This made Gu Linye feel baffled. “You don’t believe your own brother?”

 “Definitely, it just isn’t believable.”

 Gu Hengxiao suddenly raised his voice. “You do know what sort of person you are, right? Tang Chi scolded you? It’s more believable to say that you scolded her. She’s your big Sister-in-Law, and yet, you keep calling her name directly like this, it’s extremely rude. Do you still have any respect for your brother?”

 Gu Linye: “…”

 ‘Damn. What does dad care about how I should call Tang Chi? It’s totally unrelated to this matter right now! Dad only knows how to blame me.’

 His family’s suspicion towards him had only made him feel even more ashamed and resentful. Gu Linye couldn’t tolerate such a thing any further, he stubbornly said, “She did scold me! Brother, if you don’t believe me, you can call and ask her!”

 Despite the secretary being here and quietly observing the family’s private matters, Gu Linye still spoke openly.

 Gu Linzheng removed his gaze from his clearly upset brother. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed on his phone again, searching for the somewhat unfamiliar looking name from his phone book.

 [Tang Chi]

 This was only a polite remark to inform Gu Linzheng whose number it was.

 Gu Linzheng only took the initiative to call Tang Chi once, this was his grandfather’s idea to ask Tang Chi out.

 He still remembered the first word that the girl on the other line uttered.

 “Hello?”

 It was only a simple greeting with a soft voice. However, he felt that she was very different than the girls his grandfather would introduce to him.

 Nevertheless, this was the only unexpected impression he had of her thus far.

 Other than that, Gu Linzheng was unfamiliar with Tang Chi.

 After two seconds of muttering to himself, Gu Linzheng finally dialed the number.

 Seeing his brother call Tang Chi, Gu Linye added on. “Brother, you have to ask her carefully. If she dares to lie, I will confront her three hundred times today!”

 Gu Linzheng gave his brother a cold look. This caused Gu Linye to swallow back the rest of his words.

 The office was very quiet. Although it was quite upsetting to see his second son like this, the positive part to the current situation was that he finally managed to see Gu Linzheng take the initiative to call Tang Chi, Gu Hengxiao extended his neck slightly, curious to listen to their conversation.

 The phone rang three times before the call was answered. There was a soft and hesitant voice coming from the other end of the line, “Gu… Linzheng?”

 It seemed like an unfamiliar way of addressing one’s husband.
