As soon as the door opened, Gu Xingzhou spoke up sarcastically, "Is this the second young lady of the Chen family?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was some shrew, yelling and cursing in the street.

Upon seeing Gu Xingzhou, Chen Wan put on a smile and said, "Young Master Gu, you're joking."

I was just disciplining my impolite younger brother.

Chen Hao looked up at Chen Wan and Chen Qian behind her, and replied indifferently, "This is the Gu family home, not a place where you can cause trouble. Now get out of here."

"Brother, it's one thing if you hate me, but how could you scold Second Sister? No matter what, she's still your own Second Sister." Chen Qian looked at Chen Hao with a reproachful expression.

It was as if he had done something that would incur divine wrath and public resentment.

He then apologized to Gu Xingzhou, "Young Master Gu, please forgive my brother's rudeness."

After all, he grew up in the countryside and didn't receive much education; please forgive him.

"Hehe." Gu Xingzhou chuckled. "I've figured it out. You're all just arrogant and brainless."

A white lotus flower.

He turned to look at Chen Hao and whispered, "Brother Hao, you should have left that family a long time ago, or you'll become mentally ill."

Upon hearing this, the smiles on the siblings' faces vanished. Chen Wan's face stiffened. "Young Master Gu, I have something to discuss with my brother. Please excuse me."

"This is my home, why should I leave?" Gu Xingzhou retorted dismissively.

Chen Hao said bluntly, "There's nothing between us."

Chen Wan could still smile at Gu Xingzhou, but she showed no mercy to her stepsister. She shouted angrily, "Did you instigate Young Master Gu to deliberately steal my drama?"

She finally managed to spend ten million to get a role in a famous director's drama, but before she could even enjoy it for a few days, she was told she was being replaced!

Upon further investigation, it turned out that Chen Hao was behind it all!

Chen Hao replied casually, "No, it's just that I don't like the look of you, so I asked the director to replace you."

After all, it was my investment.

"You invested? How could you possibly have the money to invest?" Chen Wan looked at her with disdain.

Then, in a condescending tone, he said, "Haven't you been trying to please me all along?"

"If I could be the female lead in this drama, I'd accept your flattery."

She didn't believe that the people who used to fawn over her would suddenly change.

Chen Hao did this just to get her attention, and he succeeded.

Chen Hao looked at Chen Wan like she was an idiot, "You're crazy! Get lost."

Chen Wan froze, then reacted and shouted angrily, "I'm your sister! How dare you insult me! You've gone too far!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Chen Hao across the face.

Chen Hao easily dodged her hand and slapped her across the face.

With a "snap," a crisp sound echoed in the air.

Chen Wan covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Chen Hao. "You dare hit me?!"

She never expected to be proven wrong.

"Oops, my hand slipped," Chen Hao replied casually.

The smug tone provoked Chen Wan, who contorted her face and lunged at Chen Hao with bared teeth and claws, yelling, "You beast, if you dare hit me, I'll beat you to death!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao's face darkened. He neither dodged nor dodged, but stood still. As soon as Chen Wan got close, he kicked her.

"Ah!" Chen Wan clutched her stomach and rolled over on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qian rushed over and helped Chen Wan up, anxiously calling out, "Second Sister, how are you?"

An angry expression appeared on his face, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. "Brother, what grievances do you have? Why take them out on me? How could you kick Second Sister?"

"Really? You're willing to take the blame for her? Then come here." Chen Hao said sarcastically.

Chen Qian choked, stammering, "I... why are you hitting my second sister? I'm not going over there."

He glanced at his second sister, whose face was pale with pain, and could imagine how hard that kick had been. He wasn't about to go looking for trouble.

"Just because her mouth is so foul!" Chen Hao sneered. "What? You don't dare to take the blame for her?"

Your second sister always protects you, yet you won't even stand up for her and take a kick.

Chen Wan clutched her stomach, looked up at Chen Qian with a hint of confusion on her face, then lowered her head again, lost in thought.

Seeing this, a hint of panic flashed in Chen Qian's eyes. He then stood up and rushed towards Chen Hao, shouting, "Stop trying to sow discord!"

Chen Hao smirked and kicked him in the stomach without hesitation.

If he weren't still useful, I'd really like to kick him to the ground.

"Ouch!" Chen Qian cried out in pain, rolling several times on the ground before finally stopping.

Despite the pain, Chen Wan stood up and walked towards Chen Qian, who was lying motionless on the ground. She called out in a panic, "Xiao Qian, what's wrong? Don't scare your sister."

She's so damn stupid; she actually doubted her brother's sincerity towards her.

After a long while, Chen Qian finally raised his head and looked weakly at Chen Wan, "Second sister, I'm fine."

Do you still feel pain?

I should have taken the blame for my second sister earlier.

Chen Wan hugged Chen Qian with a touching expression and cried, "Silly brother, how could you be so silly?"

Her brother is just that kind; she will never doubt him again.

Seeing the siblings hugging each other, Chen Hao smiled and turned to leave.

As he passed the butler, he whispered, "Butler, you don't need to open the door for the Chen family anymore."

Seeing Chen Hao leave, Gu Xingzhou uttered a harsh remark and quickly followed after him.

"By insulting Brother Hao, you are insulting me. Our Gu family will no longer cooperate with your Chen family!"

The siblings, who were hugging each other, were stunned for a moment. Chen Wan felt uneasy and asked doubtfully, "Young Master Gu wouldn't be so willful, would he?"

A collaboration worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars could be terminated so easily, resulting in a significant financial loss.

Chen Qian comforted her, "No, don't worry, sister. The Gu family isn't just about Gu Xingzhou."

He had heard that Gu Xingzhou's branch of the family had lost out in the power struggle within the Gu family and had been sent back to their hometown.

Although the Gu family in Licheng is managed by Gu Xingzhou's sister, they actually still have to listen to the Gu family in the capital.

He just got in touch with the young master of the Gu family in Beijing a couple of days ago.

Chen Qian stared at Chen Hao's retreating figure with a look of resentment.

Hmph, the one who laughs last laughs best.

Gu Xingzhou caught up with Chen Hao, looked at him, and hesitated to speak.

"Say whatever you want."

"Then I'll tell you." Gu Xingzhou felt relieved and boldly asked, "Brother Hao, you knew Chen Qian's purpose, so why did you kick him?"

Why not sow discord and let them fight like dogs?

Chen Hao said nonchalantly, "Kick it if you want."

They've come to us asking for a beating, might as well kick them out.

He was not afraid even if the siblings partnered together.

He would rather see Chen Wan being played like a fool.

"Yeah, Hao-ge, you did the right thing. Chen Qian is just asking for a beating; he talks like a jerk." Gu Xingzhou nodded in agreement.

No matter what Hao does, he will support him!

Chen Qian, upon returning to the Chen family home, hadn't even had a chance to complain when his father angrily berated him, "You two spendthrift sons!"

"Who gave you permission to insult Young Master Gu?!"

Chen Qian and Chen Wan exchanged a glance, and Chen Qian asked cautiously, "Dad, did Young Master Gu really cancel the cooperation with our family?"
