Chapter 233 The Shen Family
"What happened?"
Gu Ranle held a water cup in one hand and placed the other hand on the handrail of the stairs as she slowly walked down the stairs.
The living room was in chaos, with noise and all kinds of emotions intertwined, forming an indescribable atmosphere.
The sounds of conversation, sighs, and sobs intertwined into a complex symphony, filling the entire space with noise and making people feel irritated and unhappy.
"Miss."
Hearing the sound, Butler Zhao quickly walked to the stairs.
Gu Ranle stopped at the last step of the stairs. She glanced at the people in the living room, her brows slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of confusion and concern in her voice.
"What's going on downstairs? Why is it so noisy?"
Butler Zhao sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Well, Miss, this is what happened. Miss Zhenzhen and her fiancé had a fierce argument, and when they lost control of their emotions, they actually drove their cars into each other, and both were injured. Miss Zhenzhen's injuries were not serious, but her fiancé unfortunately broke an arm and a leg, and is now lying in the hospital receiving treatment."
"Oh?" Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes sharp. She noticed the unfamiliar faces in the living room and guessed something in her mind, "So their family members came to visit?"
Butler Zhao nodded, his expression solemn and somewhat helpless.
"Yes, young lady. The young master wanted to invite them in to solve the problem in a peaceful way, but no one expected that after they came in, they did not even mention the negotiation. Instead, they started rolling around and throwing tantrums, crying and making a fuss. The situation was out of control for a time."
Just as Butler Zhao finished his words, an even louder cry was heard from the living room. The sound was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to tear the entire space apart.
"My poor nephew! How did you become a cripple just because you were in love? The Gu family is powerful, can they trample on human life like this?"
A middle-aged woman's voice echoed in the living room, her tone full of anger and despair.
The corners of Butler Zhao's mouth twitched violently. It was true that his arms and legs were broken, but he was not disabled.
Is it really okay to curse your nephew like this?
Gu Ranle raised her chin and pointed at the crying woman, "Who is she?"
"That's Shen Wen's cousin." Butler Zhao explained quickly.
He pointed to a middle-aged woman with gray hair next to Shen Wen's cousin, "That's Shen Wen's aunt. Next to her is Shen Wen's sister, and next to her is Shen Wen's mother. The one next to her is Shen Wen's sister, and the ones to the side are grandma, grandmother, cousin, and younger cousin."
Gu Ranle paused slightly when he heard this, and glanced at the crying women.
This really includes all the aunts and uncles.
But on second thought, I felt that this was quite normal.
Sometimes, women’s weakness and tears can often become the most powerful weapons, easily touching the hearts of others and arousing sympathy and compassion.
Therefore, when women come forward at this time, it is often easier for them to achieve the desired effect than men.
"What's the exact situation with Shen Wen?" Gu Ranle tried to get more information from Butler Zhao.
Butler Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know the specific details, but I know that Master Shen Wen broke an arm and a leg. He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital and is not in danger of death."
Gu Ranle nodded slightly, knowing that he couldn't get any more useful information.
She walked down the stairs at a leisurely pace, as if the hustle and bustle around her had nothing to do with her.
She walked straight to the noisy living room, and behind the crowd, she spoke calmly: "Family members of Shen Wen, please be patient. This is a private residence, not a street. If you can't remain quiet, then I'm sorry, I can only ask you to leave."
Before he finished speaking, the crying sounds seemed to be cut off by an invisible force and stopped abruptly.
The living room, which was originally bustling with activity, suddenly fell into silence.
"Sister." Gu Xiuyuan turned around and called softly.
Gu Ranle handed him the empty cup in his hand and ordered: "Pour me another glass of water."
"Okay." Gu Xiuyuan responded, took the cup and turned to leave.
The crowd automatically made way for a passage, but Gu Ranle did not step into it immediately.
Her eyes fell on Gu Zhenzhen, who was hiding behind Gu Jingcheng with gauze on her face, and she said in a cold tone: "Gu Zhenzhen, bring me a chair."
Gu Zhenzhen looked hesitant, her eyes lingering between Gu Ranle and her elder brother, and she was obviously unwilling to give in.
But in the end, she turned around and reluctantly brought a chair for Gu Ranle.
Looking at the crowd in the living room, Gu Ranle couldn't help but feel a headache.
She rubbed her brows gently and said, "Captain Gao, go and do other things. Leave this to me."
She first asked Captain Gao to leave with the bodyguards.
As the bodyguards left, the number of people in the living room instantly dropped by half.
Then, Gu Ranle turned his gaze to the Shen family, "Family members of Shen Wen, please choose someone who can make the decision to stay, and the rest of you please leave first."
"Why?" A sharp voice sounded among the Shen family crowd, full of doubts.
Gu Ranle looked coldly at the owner of the voice, "You are too noisy. I will give you one minute to discuss. If you exceed the time limit, you will have to leave."
"Who are you? Why are you so arrogant? Do you have the final say in the Gu family? Do you know that it is Gu Zhenzhen who hurt my brother? She is committing attempted murder! If we call the police, she will go to jail!" The Shen family member was very emotional, his voice trembling, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Ranle's attitude.
Gu Ranle's expression remained calm when she heard that. She gracefully sat down on the chair that Gu Zhenzhen had brought over. Then she took the cup of water that Gu Xiuyuan handed over and took a sip gently, as if she was savoring the sweetness of the water or calming her thoughts.
After a moment's silence, she finally opened her lips slowly, her voice filled with unquestionable calmness.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but my words are still effective in the Gu family. But can you speak on behalf of Shen Wen or the entire Shen family? If not, then please remain silent. I don't want to hear any meaningless noise."
She ignored the angry woman and glanced at the time, "You have twenty seconds to think about it."
A few seconds later, a middle-aged woman in the crowd who was dressed gorgeously and had an elegant temperament spoke up. She said to the other members of the Shen family, "You guys go out first."
"Mom—" Someone tried to refute, but was decisively interrupted by the middle-aged woman, "Get out first."
After everyone from the Shen family left, the house suddenly seemed spacious and bright, and even the air seemed to become much fresher.
"Miss Gu, I am Qiao Yun, Shen Wen's mother." The voice of the middle-aged woman Qiao Yun was gentle and sincere, completely different from the hysteria of the previous woman. "We are sorry to disturb you by coming here without any prior notice, but please understand the feelings of a mother."
Gu Ranle nodded gently, her expression calm and firm: "No matter what the cause of the incident is, who is right or wrong, it is an indisputable fact that Shen Wen is now injured and hospitalized. I deeply apologize for this. I believe that you came here today to solve the problem, so there is no need to beat around the bush, just put forward your conditions and requirements directly."
