Chapter 219 Gu Hong is driven away (2/2)

Gu Hong's words were like sharp blades, piercing straight into the other person's heart.

If Old Master Gu still felt a trace of guilt towards Gu Hong just now, after hearing her words, that last bit of guilt vanished instantly, replaced by utter despair.

"Go away. Just consider me an ungrateful person. From now on, we are severing all ties and never want to see each other again in this life."

Gu Hong stared wide-eyed at Old Master Gu in astonishment. She had never expected that Old Master Gu would be so fearless, and that his words would be so resolute.

"Why should I? I'm not leaving!" Gu Hong shouted emotionally. "You owe me! I lost a hand saving you, how are you going to repay me?"

Her voice was filled with anger and resentment, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Hearing Gu Hong's question, Old Master Gu felt a pang of sorrow and slowly closed his eyes.

After a long while, he reopened his eyes, his gaze cold and resolute.

“If you had behaved yourself, I could have protected you for the rest of my life.” Old Master Gu’s voice was calm, but it contained endless disappointment. “However, you have now crossed the line.”

You actually dared to try to harm my family. From that moment on, all the kindness between us vanished.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I promised you about Xiaoya's job, and I won't go back on my word. But this is the last time; after this, we will have nothing to do with each other."

After saying that, Old Master Gu called out Qi Zheng's name without hesitation: "Show the guest out!" His attitude was unusually firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

After saying these words, Grandpa Gu resolutely turned around and walked into the house without looking back, as if he no longer wanted to see Gu Hong crying and making a fuss.

Having understood Old Master Gu's attitude, Gu Qizheng no longer had any concerns. He grabbed Gu Hong and threw her at the door, then ordered two soldiers to escort her to the train station. He insisted on seeing Gu Hong board the train before returning.

As for Xiaoya, she was terrified when Gu Hong and Old Master Gu had a falling out.

But she still asked Grandpa Gu to arrange a job for her; she couldn't leave.

She knew this was her last and only chance to stay in Kyoto.

Grandpa Gu used her job as his final promise to Gu Hong. After this matter was settled, she would be a stranger to the Gu family.

However, as long as she can stay and work in Kyoto, she will still have opportunities in the future.

After seeing Gu Hong off, Gu Qizheng saw Xiao Ya still standing in the courtyard and offered to take her to the guesthouse.

Xiaoya didn't want to, but she didn't dare to refuse. She packed her things and left the Gu family with Gu Qizheng.

After the two people left, Grandma Jiang went to Aunt Li's house to find Aunt Li.

She pushed open the door and saw Aunt Li sitting on a chair by the door, lost in thought, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

"Aunt Li, Gu Hong has been kicked out of the Gu family. I apologize to you on her behalf. Can you come back with me?"

Aunt Li wasn't targeting Old Madam Jiang; it was mainly because Gu Hong's words were too hurtful.

She couldn't figure out the Gu family's attitude, so she didn't want to stay there and suffer any more grievances.

Now that Grandma Jiang says Gu Hong has been driven away, she is still a little surprised.
