Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

The two were also surprised that Gao Qiu was so straightforward; he hadn't even hinted at his conditions yet! How could he have made such a definitive statement so abruptly!

Guo Weize was a little confused. According to the script, when Guo got angry and threatened to take legal action, you should immediately realize the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly apologize and appease her.

But she wouldn't listen and continued to make a scene, leaving you helpless. Then you had to step in to mediate. At that point, Guo took the opportunity to point out that he couldn't let this humiliation go unpunished!

Then came a series of bargaining. Gao Zhao, such a disobedient and unfilial person, could not be kept. His own son was adopted, and everyone was happy!

Why didn't Gao Qiu follow the script? He started by making a big deal out of nothing. Wasn't he afraid that this would make him lose face and ruin his reputation?

Gao Qiu glanced at the two stunned men, then snorted coldly, "Can you speak properly now?"

"Yes!" Guo Weize quickly agreed, smiling apologetically, "Brother-in-law, please don't be angry. My eldest sister has always doted on me since I was little. When she heard that I had been wronged, she naturally felt sorry for me, and that's why she was a little impatient!"

"Hmm!" Gao Qiu nodded, his voice regaining its calmness, and said indifferently, "I've heard about it, and I've already sent someone to summon Gao Zhao. You two can have a good talk later, clarify things, and then we can discuss other matters!"

"What's the point of talking to him!" Guo scolded angrily, "A disobedient and unfilial beast!"

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you!" Gao Qiu slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice, "If you're willing to talk, you can stay and talk. If you're not, you can leave!"

When Guo saw how impolite he was, she was furious and glared at Gao Qiu.

"Sister, don't be angry. Your husband has his reasons for being like this!"

Guo Weize hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, fearing that Guo Shi might act impulsively and ruin everything. At the same time, he secretly reminded her that Gao Qiu might have other plans and that she should not be provoked by him and lose her composure.

"Hmph!" Guo snorted coldly and turned to sit down on a chair to the side.

Gao Qiu didn't even glance at her, picked up a document, and began reading it on his own.

Guo Weize had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, considering that he now had Gao Zhao's weakness in his hands and had the upper hand, he felt relieved.

As for Gao Qiu sending Gao Zhao over to talk to him, he probably wanted Gao Zhao to apologize so that he could act as a peacemaker and try to resolve the matter peacefully.

But that's an oversimplification!

This golden opportunity has been delivered to my doorstep, how could I possibly let it slip by!

In an instant, he had even prepared his response to this process, and was just waiting for Gao Zhao to arrive!

……

Gao Zhao was very annoyed after being woken up!

After his physical condition improved to over 40 yesterday, he was finally able to get a good night's sleep. He was sleeping soundly when he was woken up. Anyone would be angry in that situation!

Just as he was about to lose his temper with Gao Yi, he saw the old steward smiling to the side and immediately suppressed his anger!

The old steward chuckled, "Young master, hurry up and get dressed! Your wife and uncle are waiting for you in the Grand Commandant's room!"

"Okay!" Gao Zhao responded and hurriedly dressed and washed up.

After washing his face, he felt refreshed and then followed the old steward out of the courtyard.

Looking at the old steward's retreating figure, he couldn't help but find himself somewhat amusing and began to mock himself.

I usually think I have a bad temper, but I can suppress it in front of people who are really important to me!

Haha, in the end, there's really no such thing as a bad temper in this world!

If someone dares to get angry at you, it's simply because they don't take you seriously!

So you have to do well yourself, only then can you take your anger out on whoever you want!

It's awful to swallow your anger!

Once I make it big, the first person I'll deal with is this old guy!

As he walked and pondered, he soon arrived at Gao Qiu's door.

"Young master, please! This old servant will not go in!" The old steward still bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Gao Zhao was also very polite, showing the manners and upbringing of a scion of a prominent family.

Pushing open the door, one can vaguely see three people inside through the screen.

After what happened at Fanlou yesterday, he managed to extract a lot of information from Gao Yi after returning home.

Now he roughly understood his position in the Gao family. Gao Qiu had treated the original owner of the body fairly well; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken him in as an adopted son. This was an heir with the right to inherit the family business, so he was strictly disciplined. However, he was busy with official duties and couldn't reach him from afar...

Guo was clearly not like that. She made things difficult for him at every turn, and even the servants in the mansion dared to give him attitude. This was evident in the guards in front of the hanging flower gate in the backyard that day.

Guo Weize's performance last night further proves this point!

After learning this news, he felt that Gao Qiu was really senile!

The other party's malice was so obvious, yet they still expect me to reconcile with them!

Isn't this just wishful thinking?

They humiliated me and made me apologize to them. Isn't that bullying an honest person?

No one can bully me, Gao Zhao... unless you offer me enough benefits!

Gao Zhao turned the screen around and went inside, wanting to see what benefits they could offer!

He stepped forward and bowed in turn.

"Hmph!" Madam Guo turned her head away, refusing to look at him at all.

Gao Qiu sat up straight and beckoned, saying, "Alright, everyone's here, let's get started!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Guo immediately turned around and shouted at Gao Zhao, "Fine! I'm asking you, did you use Liu Guojiu's life last night to force your uncle to kneel before you!"

That's because...

"Don't give me any reasons why! Just tell me if it happened or not? Just answer yes or no!"

Gao Zhaoyuan wanted to explain things properly and reason with her, but after hearing what Guo said, he knew that she had no intention of talking to him at all and only wanted him to confess.

He immediately laughed, turned around, walked to a chair nearby, sat down, crossed his legs, and said with a slight smile, "Not bad, he really did kneel down before me! And his pleading words were quite sweet. Would you like to hear them?"

"You!" Guo Shi was shocked that he dared to be so arrogant. She turned to Gao Qiu and said, "You saw it, didn't you? You saw how disrespectful and unruly he is!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gao Qiu's eyes. Gao Zhao did not compromise as he had imagined, but instead chose to stand up to him head-on!

This was somewhat unexpected for him, but such a thing couldn't be solved by just acting on impulse!

He tapped the table and said, "Speak properly!"

"What else is there to say? He's already confessed! What else is there to say!" Guo shouted again, "This kind of beast in human form deserves to be torn to pieces!"

"Calm down!" Gao Zhao advised, "Such constant threats of violence damage your image as a loving mother!"

Guo hesitated, about to erupt in anger, when Gao Zhao said calmly, "Be sincere and state your purpose!"
