In other words, Gu Nianjia was saying that at this age and time, it was normal for couples to live together.
Lin Yiqian knew better than anyone that Gu Nianjia was just very protective of her youngest uncle. Having been influenced by Grandmother Song since she was young, Gu Nianjia had a very old-fashioned mindset.
She was not as open-minded as she sounded about interactions between men and women.
“You are making that up.” The woman retorted.
“I am not. Just ask around and you will find out. She has even tried to seduce one of the teachers at school and became angry when she was rejected.” Gu Nianjia raised her voice as she and the woman got into a heated argument.
Gu Nianjia had never lost in a verbal fight. In fact, she could increase her pitch to an unimaginable level.
She must have acquired some of her brother’s argumentative qualities.
As the woman could not win against Gu Nianjia in the argument, she began to shake with anger. “Alright, alright. You’ve asked your family to come here not to apologize, but to back you up so that you can argue against us.”
Lin Yiqian felt speechless.
At the same time, she was amazed that this lady could see right through Gu Nianjia.
From Lin Yiqian’s point of view, Gu Nianjia perhaps really did have the intention of getting someone to back her up so that she could fight back.
Although the two were getting more and more aggressive with their words, neither of them physically attacked each other.
The ruckus they caused soon drew the attention of students nearby who became curious about what had happened.
Right then, a bald middle-aged man suddenly appeared. “How has this turned into a fight?”
The man had a pin on his shirt that showed that he was a staff member from Peking University. At a closer look, Lin Yiqian could see that he was the director of academic affairs.
How busy was he to have arrived this late when so many people were already here at the office?
Lin Yiqian remained silent.
“Director Wang, Bingbing was beaten up in your school. Don’t you have anything to say?” The woman latched onto Director Wang’s arm furiously.
“Dan Bingbing’s parents, please calm down. Isn’t Gu Nianjia’s family already here?” Director Wang chuckled.
As he spoke, he politely pushed the woman’s hand away. “Both parties ought to discuss how to resolve this issue together. I believe Gu Nianjia’s family will willingly cooperate.” Director Wang added as he turned to look at Lin Yiqian with a smile and a nod.
Lin Yiqian raised her chin proudly without responding to his comment.
‘Willingly cooperate?’ Lin Yiqian repeated in her mind. Was this trick not a little too obvious?
The man with a beard from the Dan family immediately waved his hand. “I’ll give you three options. You can choose to pay us one million dollars, apologize to us on your knees or go to jail. We have a medical report for Bingbing that proves that she has a severe concussion.”
One million…
Chuckles.
Lin Yiqian could not hold back her laughter as she looked at the middle-aged man with a full beard. “Do you think that we will give you money just because our family is rich?”
“We couldn’t care less about your family’s wealth. I just want to teach this dumb girl a lesson.” The bearded man fumed as he stared at Gu Nianjia.
He seemed so intimidating that Gu Nianjia held on even tighter to Lin Yiqian’s arm.
Meanwhile, Lin Yiqian patted Gu Nianjia’s hand lightly to calm her down.
“In that case, one million dollars wouldn’t really teach her any lesson. It’s just like how you would spend one dollar in your household. You should have asked for one billion dollars instead.”
‘My sister-in-law really knows how to brag. Oh, please. I only get twenty thousand dollars a month!’ Gu Nianjia thought.
One million dollars was indeed a hefty sum to Gu Nianjia.
Lin Yiqian paused briefly before she continued to speak. “As for apologizing to you on our knees, that’s even more unlikely. Sue us if you want to.”
