Chapter 213 My patience has limits
On the way to the front hall, Lin Zhiyi and Liu He found that the housekeeper and the elders of the Gong family were hurriedly walking towards the ancestral hall.
"Mom, why are we all going to the ancestral hall?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.
Liu He looked around, looking nervous: "Oh no, something big must be happening."
She was worried about Gong Shiyan, so she pulled Lin Zhiyi towards the ancestral hall.
As soon as you enter the ancestral hall, it is crowded with people.
Everyone stood on both sides in an orderly manner. Lin Zhiyi quickly pulled Liu He to stand at the inconspicuous end.
She raised her eyes and looked towards the innermost part, and found that all the elders who had long been in seclusion had been invited over.
Gong Chen and Old Man Gong sat in the upper seats, with incense burning beside them, looking solemn and serious.
In the hall, Gong Yan knelt there with gnashing teeth.
Chen Sulan, who was standing next to her, was pale, crying and making a fuss, and had long lost the elegance of a so-called eldest wife.
"Second brother! What do you mean? Gong Yan was injured because of your cheap daughter. Why did you bring him back?"
Gong Shiyan looked at her coldly: "Why was he injured? Do I need to repeat it in public?"
"You!" Chen Sulan's chest rose and fell violently, and she simply made specious arguments, "The Gong family has raised Lin Zhiyi for so many years, so what's wrong with asking her to make some contributions? This is not her first time, so what's the big deal!"
After saying this, Gong Shiyan clenched his fists, but it was not a rule at home to hit women.
Lin Zhiyi was about to retort when Liu He, who was beside her, suddenly rushed out and slapped Chen Sulan twice, knocking her to the ground.
Chen Sulan cried out in pain and was unable to get up for a long time. She could only lean on Gong Yan, who kept his head down and remained silent.
Liu He was also a woman who held a baby in one hand and ten kilograms of rice in the other.
Although he has been spoiled in recent years, it is no problem for him to deal with the sickly Chen Sulan.
"Shut up! Your own son is not good enough, so you offer someone else's daughter as a gift. I heard that foreigners don't care about age, so why don't you give him away? It turns out he is picking on the weak!"
Liu He put her hands on her hips, looked at everyone, and said with rare firmness: "I know you look down on me! I have been a coward for so many years, isn't it just for everyone to live in peace? Now that it has come to this, I will just get out, and no one can talk about my daughter again!"
"How dare you!" Old Master Gong slammed the table and stood up. "Do you have the right to speak here? Drag her out!"
Liu He was frightened and her neck shrank three points before she realized that she had been impulsive.
Lin Zhiyi rushed out and stood in front of Liu He: "Don't touch my mother!"
"You again!" Old Master Gong stared at Lin Zhiyi angrily and waved his hand, ordering, "Kick them mother and daughter out!"
As a result, the room was silent and no one listened to Mr. Gong.
At this time, Gong Chen put down the teacup.
There was a thud, neither light nor heavy, and everyone followed his lead, which was enough to show his current status.
"Dad, please be patient."
Old Master Gong narrowed his eyes, sat down with a gloomy expression, and picked up the teacup seemingly casually, but suddenly mocked: "I don't think there is anything to ask about this matter. Gong Yan would do such a thing, does that mean Lin Zhiyi is not wrong? If she hadn't flirted with other people, would Gong Yan take her away?"
Lin Zhiyi sneered in his heart and said expressionlessly: "Old man, I can't bear such a serious crime. If the people of the Gong family can listen to me just by snapping their fingers, then the Gong family is nothing more than that."
The old man's eyes widened with anger when he heard this, and he put the teacup back on the table with force.
Before he could speak, Gong Shiyan protected Lin Zhiyi and spoke first.
"Dad, Zhiyi is right. The Gong family has always been strict, and not everyone can mess around."
"What do you mean?" The old man's voice was clearly filled with suppressed anger.
"Who gave Gong Yan the right to leave by private plane?" Gong Shiyan asked solemnly.
Everyone knows that not everyone can use a private jet.
But Gong Chen couldn't ask this.
But he is Lin Zhiyi's legal stepfather and has the right to find out the whole story.
The old man is seventy-five years old this year. What he cares most about in his life is his own dignity and the honor of his family.
He is pedantic and extremely chauvinistic.
Seeing himself being questioned in this way by his usually most honest son, he felt completely humiliated.
He grabbed the cup and threw it on the ground, causing the pieces to scatter everywhere, making it impossible for the others to breathe.
"You're outrageous, aren't you? How dare you talk to me in such a tone!"
Gong Shiyan was not as humble as before. He met his gaze and asked calmly, "Dad, aren't you at fault for Gong Yan becoming like this?"
"..."
The old man was breathing heavily, his lips tightly pursed and his teeth gritted.
Gong Yan, who had been keeping his head down, seemed to have heard something and immediately raised his eyes to look at Gong Shiyan.
"Second Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Gong Shiyan's lips showed a hint of bitterness: "Let others tell you the reason."
After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Three figures slowly approached.
Gong Yan looked at the leader and immediately revealed an expression of disbelief.
Even the others were shocked.
After careful identification, Lin Zhiyi remembered that she had seen it in the family photo in the study.
Gong Yan's deceased father, Gong Shize.
But the man in front of him had white hair at the temples, and his eye and forehead wrinkles were very obvious.
He is completely incomparable to Gong Shiyan, who is only two years older than him.
But his smile is very contagious, friendly and kind.
"Dad, you're not dead?" Gong Yan shouted tremblingly.
Gong Shize looked at him and nodded helplessly: "Yeah."
Gong Yan seemed to see hope. He stood up, grabbed Gong Shize and pointed at Gong Chen: "Dad, tell everyone quickly, was it Gong Chen who killed you?"
"Who told you that? My affairs have nothing to do with your uncle!" Gong Shize asked unhappily.
"No, it's impossible!" Gong Yan retreated in despair.
Without waiting for Gong Yan to come back to his senses, the old man suddenly stood up and looked the visitor up and down.
"Shize, why did you become like this?"
"Dad, I'm sorry, but I'm doing well." Gong Shize pointed to the two people behind him and smiled gently, "This is my wife and daughter."
There was still a trace of warmth in the ancestral hall just now, but because of this sentence, it suddenly fell into stagnation.
Lin Zhiyi was also startled for a moment and turned to look at the two people.
The woman's facial features were not stunning, but her eyes were clear, giving people a very bright and generous feeling. She had short hair that reached her shoulders, and her wheat-colored skin exuded a healthy luster.
The girl next to her, who looked about eleven or twelve years old, combined the advantages of both husband and wife, and was also a person with a sweet and sunny smile.
I don’t know if it was Lin Zhiyi’s illusion, but they were obviously different from the glamorous people in the ancestral hall. But the moment they approached, the cold atmosphere around them dissipated a lot.
As the only ordinary person present, Lin Zhiyi knew at a glance that the mother and daughter were very easy to get along with.
However, a stern voice came from the seat of honor, breaking the momentary silence.
"I won't allow it! A mistress doesn't come from a good family." Old Master Gong denied everything and ordered, "Send them away immediately, the farther the better. When you come back, hold a press conference with Su Lan and explain the situation. Just say that you have lost your memory and are recuperating somewhere else. Don't let your family lose face!"
Gong Shize chuckled and sneered: "You are still the same as before."
Before he could explain the meaning of his words, Chen Sulan suddenly picked up the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground like a madman and rushed towards the mother and daughter regardless of everything.
"Shameless bitch! You must have seduced my husband and made him abandon his wife and children!"
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
Chen Sulan came up empty-handed and rushed towards Lin Zhiyi unwillingly.
Lin Zhiyi had no way to dodge and was about to be stabbed by her. Gong Chen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Sulan's wrist.
Bones creaked and fragments fell to the ground, and Chen Sulan was in so much pain that she couldn't even straighten her back.
"My patience has its limits." Gong Chen said coldly.
