After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 72 Arrogant adopted son!
"Brother Gu Chi, does my presence make you uncomfortable?" Lu Tianci stared at Gu Chi pitifully, his eyes revealing deep timidity.

"Gu Chi, I really don't know what I did wrong. Why do you treat me like this?"

"No, no, I, my hands were just shaking for a moment..." Gu Chi answered timidly.

"What do you mean? Are your hands shaking? So even the bowl of soup spilled on him, right?" Lu Meng continued to ask.

Without waiting for Gu Chi to answer, Zhao Rui angrily shook off Gu Chi's hand and then slapped him hard in the face.

There was a particularly loud 'pop' sound.

Gu Chi didn't expect that this slap in the face would feel like this.

He suddenly felt a burning pain on his face, which made him tremble.

However, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find some ointment for the burns." The Lu family immediately comforted Lu Tianci.

"It's okay, Mom." Lu Tianci was very well-behaved.

Although he looked pitiful, he didn't really need comfort. He just wanted these people to feel pitiful for him.

In this way, they will feel that they owe him more and will be more tolerant of him.

Lu Tianci sat down next to Zhao Rui. He looked at the slap mark on Gu Chi's face and suddenly laughed, "Brother Gu Chi, why are you so stupid? Don't you know that soup shouldn't be served like this?"

Gu Chi raised his head and saw the mockery in Lu Tianci's eyes, and immediately understood.

"I, I really had it ready, and I didn't expect it to spill on his hands." Gu Chi continued to explain.

However, Lu Tianci did not want to hear his explanation.

"Brother Gu Chi, don't you know that the soup needs to be placed on a tray? How can you hold it directly with your hands? What if you get scalded? What if it spills? This is a very dangerous thing..." As Lu Tianci spoke, his eyes became increasingly cold.

However, he still looked innocent.

Gu Chi didn’t know how to refute, let alone what to say, so he could only stand there stupidly.

Seeing that there was no serious problem with the location where Lu Tianci was burned, the Lu family began to hold him accountable.

Especially the two elders of the Lu family, looking at the bewildered Gu Chi, they were displeased: "Gu Chi, he is your younger brother. He has been in this family for so many years. It is impossible for you to replace him immediately after you come back."

"That's right, we don't understand why you treat your brother like this. What good will it do you if he gets hurt?"

Facing these people's words, Gu Chi felt like he couldn't wash away the feeling even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Grandpa and grandma, I really didn't mean it." Gu Chi tried his best to defend himself, but it was obvious that these people did not believe him.

Instead, Mr. Lu became even more angry: "Gu Chi, none of our Lu family's children are as irresponsible as you. If you have done it, you must have the courage to admit it!"

Gu Chi was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down: "But I really didn't mean it..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a spoon flying towards him.

With a 'bang', the spoon hit his forehead directly, and he immediately felt warm, bright red blood flowing down the corners of his eyes.

Then came Mr. Lu's roar: "Still quibbling here, when will you be able to change these bad habits?"

"Lock me up in the basement and reflect on my actions!"

Just like that, Gu Chi was locked in this basement on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, listening to the sound of fireworks outside, Gu Chi felt cold and shivering all over.

Suddenly, the basement door was opened.

I saw a familiar figure standing with his back to the light, it was Lu Tianci!
"Brother Gu Chi..." As he spoke, he was holding a plate with dumplings that had already gone cold.

At that time, Gu Chi had not yet recognized Lu Tianci's true face, and he actually felt moved.

Although the dumplings were cold, my heart was warm.

"Brother Gu Chi, I don't blame you. I also believe that you are not that kind of person. I believe that as long as you can persist, your parents will accept you sooner or later."

“It was the same when I first came to this home.”

Lu Tianci looked earnest and kept using these words to PUA him, and Gu Chi actually naively believed them.

Thinking about it now, it’s really funny.

Just as I was thinking about it, the basement door was opened again, just like that year.

It was still that familiar figure, but compared to before, he had a hint of hostility.

"Haha, Gu Chi didn't expect you to be so stupid as to come back here." Lu Tianci said proudly as he walked in front of Gu Chi.

Gu Chi just narrowed his eyes slightly, not wanting to have any direct confrontation with him: "How dare you?"

Lu Tianci put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Gu Chi: "Although you always suppress me, but now, your family all loves me, your adopted son."

"This time, if you still want to walk out of here safely like last time, I can clearly tell you that it is impossible."

Facing Lu Tianci's provocation, Gu Chi just raised his eyes slightly, without any emotion in his eyes: "Haha, is that so."

Then he sat up straight while enduring the severe pain in his body: "I know you did all this, all you wanted was to get rid of me and rest easy."

Lu Tianci smiled faintly, but did not deny it: "Gu Chi, I have to admit that you are a smart person, but no matter how smart you are, you are surrounded by idiots who are played by me at my fingertips."

"Gu Chi, you really should thank me. If it weren't for me, how could you have everything you have now?"

Gu Chi didn't say anything else, but just closed his eyes silently.

"From now on, all the shares of the Lu family will be transferred to my name. Haha, now the Lu family is legitimately mine. Gu Chi, what do you have to fight me?"

Lu Tianci became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gu Chi remained silent, as if he didn't take the matter seriously.

"Gu Chi, you still don't believe it? Haha, in fact, you have already guessed it, right?" Lu Tianci looked at him like this, and felt more and more proud.

"I just want you to watch. You know everything, but you can't do anything."

"You have the ability to start your own company, but you still can't figure out that the Lu family's financial strength is something you will never be able to match in your lifetime."

"Gu Chi, in fact, you shouldn't have come back from the beginning. Why did you have to come back here? Do you know how many of my plans were ruined by your coming back?"

"Do you know that you have become my biggest obstacle?"
