Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1344 Came For A Woman

“Young Master!”

Just as Tan Yu was fantasizing about how to torture Qiao Xi, a servant hurriedly barged in and said in a panic, “Young Master, bad news! M-Mr. Huo is here!”

Tan Yu’s body instantly stiffened, and his eyes were filled with panic. Madam Tan, who was at the side, also frowned.

After a few seconds of silence, Tan Yu suddenly stood up and frowned indignantly. “So what if he’s here? What does it have to do with him that I dote on women? I’m from the Brook family—”

“Young Master Tan.”

Before Tan Yu could finish, a dignified and low voice came from the door. Then, a tall, gentle-looking, and handsome man walked in.

He looked to be in his 20s and exuded a gentle aura. There was even a faint smile on his lips. Such a gentleman should be unguarded.

However, in the next second, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the smile on his face made one shudder.

Tan Yu’s fat body trembled. He mustered his courage. “W-Why are you here?”

Mr. Huo’s eyes flickered as he sat elegantly on the chair in front of Tan Yu. He ordered, “Young Master Tan, I’m sorry to inform you that from now on, you can’t leave Brook Castle for two months.”

He looked up slightly. Even though he was sitting, his aura was still several times stronger than Tan Yu’s. “If you don’t listen to my advice, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Tan Yu was so scared that his body trembled as he fell onto the chair behind him.

Madam Tan’s heart trembled, but she still retorted calmly, “Mr. Huo, you’re just an outsider, while Lil’ Yu is the young master of the Brook family. What right do you have to threaten him?”

When Mr. Huo heard this, he sneered. “Madam Tan, you and Young Master Tan tarnished the reputation of the Brook family this time and almost broke the law. It was the head of the family who protected you. Otherwise, do you think you could have returned to Y Nation so easily?

“What right do you think you have to talk to me like this? Just based on your title as Madam Brook?”

Madam Tan’s face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

A trace of coldness flashed past Mr. Huo’s eyes. “Madam Tan, you used two billion yuan to snatch a commoner’s daughter and made the Brook family so embarrassed. You did so many stupid things. In the end, the head of the family is only punishing you and Young Master Tan by grounding you for two months and suspending your positions in the company. On the account of your past relationship, the head of the family is already soft-hearted enough not to expel you from the family, but you seem to be very unconvinced.”

A trace of horror appeared on Madam Tan’s usually elegant face. She explained loudly, “You must have exaggerated something in front of the head of the family, and that’s why the head of the family is punishing us like this! We’re from the Brook family, but you’re just an outsider. Why should we listen to you?”

“My surname isn’t Tan or Brook, but I’m already in charge of nearly half of the Brook family’s power. I don’t have to say anything in front of the head of the family. Even if the head of the family doesn’t say anything, I have the right and ability to punish you.”

Mr. Huo glanced at the two of them coldly as if they were a pile of trash. He chuckled and stood up to walk to the door.

Looking at his tall back view, Madam Tan was still unconvinced. “Aren’t you only concerned about the company? Lil’ Yu committed so many crimes in the past, but you’ve never punished him. We only went to Li City to snatch someone this time. Although we caused the Brook family to lose their dignity, you’ve never minded such things.”

All these years, there had been many incidents of Tan Yu snatching women by force. He caused the death of those women, and the Brook family always suppressed those news. This man had never minded either. Now, they were actually grounded and suspended because of such a small matter?

Madam Tan knew very well that the head of the family admired Mr. Huo very much. Now that the head of the family was old, Mr. Huo must have asked the head of the family to strip her of her position by making use of the incident this time. He just wanted full control over the Brook!

Mr. Huo stopped in his tracks and turned around slightly with a gentle smile. “Heh! Madam Tan, you’re quite smart. You actually guessed correctly.”

Madam Tan looked at his smile, and fear swept through her body. She had never wanted to be enemies with Mr. Huo, but she did not understand how her trip to Li City had angered him.

He had never paid attention to such small matters. Why did he come over personally to warn them today?

Madam Tan racked her brains to think. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind. She asked tentatively, “Y-You’re doing this for that woman?”

Mr. Huo’s expression changed slightly.
