The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

When Lin Xiaoruo saw Master Gu take out the Gu family's ancestral whip, her face turned pale.

“Uncle Gu, this matter started because of me, it has nothing to do with Mo Xuan. If you want to hit someone, then hit me.”

Lin Xiaoru pleaded desperately, tears streaming down her face.

Her face, which was originally covered in exquisite makeup, was now completely blackened by tears.

When Lin Qingran walked into the living room, she saw that Old Master Gu was holding a leather whip, while Gu Moxuan was kneeling on the ground.

Lin Xiaoruo grabbed Mr. Gu's leg and knelt down in front of him, pleading desperately.

"Uncle Gu, even if you don't care about me, you should at least consider my father's feelings."

With a furious expression, Master Gu held a leather whip in his hand and kicked Lin Xiaoruo away.

"Hmph, you're just an adopted daughter, how dare you plead with me? Let's not even talk about how Gu Moxuan is your brother-in-law, you don't even know how to keep your distance."

"Now I'm going to discipline my unfilial sons. Even if Master Lin is in front of me, I won't hold back. He might even help me teach you two shameless bastards a lesson!"

How could Mr. Gu not know that Mrs. Gu was so upset by the relationship between Lin Xiaoruo and Gu Moxuan that she was hospitalized?

Lin Xiaoruo was kicked away by Master Gu, but she was not willing to give up. She crawled over and hugged Master Gu's leg, preventing him from getting close to Gu Moxuan.

"If Uncle Gu really wants to hit me, then hit me too."

Master Gu's face turned ashen, and he lashed out with his whip at Gu Moxuan.

"Who do you think you are to take this beating with him? You lowly slut, get out!"

Master Gu showed no mercy in his kick, the whip striking Gu Moxuan, while Lin Xiaoruo was also pushed aside by Master Gu.

Her stomach slammed hard against the corner of the wall, the pain so intense she couldn't even scream. She could only curl up on the ground, looking utterly miserable.

Despite being whipped by Master Gu, Gu Moxuan still didn't forget to care about Lin Xiaoruo's condition. He knelt down beside Lin Xiaoruo and checked her injuries.

"Xiao Ruo, are you alright?"

Lin Xiaoru shook her head, her face bitter and tearful.

"Mo Xuan, hurry up and apologize to Uncle Gu. Apologizing is all that matters."

Seeing their deep affection, Lin Qingran felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Master Gu raised his whip again, the sound of the whip ringing in the air, but it did not fall on Gu Moxuan.

Suddenly, a soft force pounced on Gu Moxuan's back, causing his dark pupils to shrink sharply and a glint of light to flash in his eyes.

Master Gu used all his strength with each lash, and the lash that struck Lin Qingran was especially filled with anger.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and blocked this side.

Lin Qingran had delicate skin and wasn't wearing a coat, only a thin spring dress. Because of the whip, a bloody mark was quickly visible.

"Qingran! What are you doing?"

After seeing who it was, Master Gu's face darkened, and he immediately stopped whipping the person.

Lin Qingran was in so much pain she almost passed out; that whip strike made her feel like her soul was about to die.

The soles of my feet also felt a series of sharp pains.

The cold sweat on her forehead quickly condensed into beads and dripped down.

"Dad, calm down."

She rested for a long time before finally uttering these words.

"It's my fault for not managing my husband well, which has caused everyone to worry."

When Mr. Gu saw Lin Qingran's current state, he frowned and then glanced at the servants beside him.

"Hurry up and pull the young mistress away."

The servant immediately stepped forward.

Lin Qingran shook her head, knelt down in front of Master Gu, and endured the excruciating pain.

“Dad, Mo Xuan made a mistake. I am his wife, so I should share the blame and be punished together.”

Master Gu's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice.

"Qingran, I know you've always been a sensible child. If you keep blocking my way, then I really won't be polite."

Lin Qingran bit her lip, nodded calmly, raised her clear eyes to look at Master Gu, and said softly.

"Dad, if this can calm you down, I don't mind suffering a little pain."

Seeing this, Gu Moxuan's expression darkened, and he then nudged Lin Qingran.

"Get lost, this is none of your business. If you hadn't forced me to marry you in the first place, none of this would have happened. You're pretending to be righteous here now, do you think I'll be moved by you?"

Lin Qingran frowned, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

In retrospect, it was all her fault.

However, Gu Moxuan was right. If she hadn't forced Gu Moxuan to marry her back then, none of this would have happened.

Mr. Gu's anger had subsided considerably because of Lin Qingran's appearance.

Lin Qingran felt extremely guilty because she had been whipped.

Hearing Gu Moxuan's words, his expression changed drastically, his anger was reignited, and his face grew even more gloomy.

"Qingran, step aside! I'm here today to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

Lin Qingran was pushed away by Old Master Gu and fell to the ground.

Gu Yihuai walked up to Lin Qingran and looked down at her.

Just when Lin Qingran thought he was going to add fuel to the fire, she saw him walk over and grab Master Gu's wrist.

"Dad, can you please stop hitting me? It's so noisy."

Master Gu's face darkened.

"How could I have given birth to two such wicked children!"

Gu Yihuai, with a nonchalant expression, then took the leather whip from Master Gu's hand.

"This whip is truly worthy of being an heirloom; it's incredibly durable. Dad, why don't you pass it on to me now?"

Old Master Gu was annoyed when Gu Yihuai changed the subject. He glanced at Lin Xiaoruo lying on the ground and said angrily.

"Get out of the Gu family. We don't welcome actors who can't stand up to scrutiny."

Lin Xiaoruo thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Mr. Gu would say something so hurtful at the end.

She bit her lip secretly and raised her head slightly to look at Gu Yihuai, only to see that Gu Yihuai's gaze was fixed on Lin Qingran, and there was actually concern in his unruly eyes.

A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Back when she wanted to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Gu Yihuai had his eye on Lin Qingran.

Now she wants to be Gu Moxuan's woman, but Lin Qingran has taken the position of Gu Moxuan's wife.

How can this world be so unfair? Lin Qingran gets all the good things by herself.

She just wanted a sip of soup, but it was so difficult for her.

"Mo Xuan, take me away."

Lin Xiaoruo turned her gaze away from Gu Yihuai, knowing that she had absolutely no hope with him.

Now all I can do is hold onto Gu Moxuan's hand tightly.

She gently tugged at Gu Moxuan's sleeve, her grip not very strong, perfectly conveying the feeling of weakness and helplessness.

Gu Moxuan glanced at Lin Qingran, only to see that Lin Qingran had already been helped up by Gu Yihuai.

The old man, who had been looking furious, was now looking at Lin Qingran with concern.

She doesn't lack attention at all.

On the contrary, Lin Xiaoruo lay on the ground, ignored by everyone, just like he had always been.

Gu Moxuan took a deep breath, picked Lin Xiaoruo up from the ground, and walked outside.

When Master Gu saw that Gu Moxuan was about to leave, his face suddenly darkened.

"Stop right there! Where are you going?"

Gu Moxuan stopped in his tracks, his tone low and cold.

"Take her to the hospital."

Old Master Gu's face contorted with rage. "Have the driver take her! Can't you see Qingran is injured too?"

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip lightly, then tugged at Gu Moxuan's clothes.

"Mo Xuan, put me down. I can walk by myself. Don't make Uncle Gu angry."

Gu Moxuan's face was grim. He didn't put her down, but glanced at Lin Qingran and said in a low voice.

“She has so many people who care about her, while Xiaoruo only has me, so I’m worried about Xiaoruo leaving with the driver.”

Lin Qingran frowned, looking at his indifferent expression.

With a furious expression, Old Master Gu grabbed a water glass and threw it at Gu Moxuan.

Gu Moxuan had already started to leave, and the water glass hit the door, causing a dent in the solid wood facade.

"That bastard, is it really because no one can control him?!"
