Gu Xianglin regained his train of thought after a look of amazement flitted through his eyes. His tone of voice became indifferent and arrogant as he said, "Gu Ruoyun, I won’t hold you fully accountable for the things which had happened during the previous years. However, you only need to bow to your grandfather with your face to the ground and admit that you were wrong. Only then will I forgive you for being young and frivolous and there will no longer be any more fuss about your past mistakes."
"Tee hee."
The bewitching woman next to Gu Ruoyun could not help but snigger when she heard this. Her seductive, fox-like eyes were like hooks that tugged at the heartstrings of those around her. Her charm was unparalleled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gu Xianglin’s brow crinkled tightly.This woman looked beautiful but she was not his type.
Especially when she had dared to mock him like this.
The Feast at Hong Gate was an actual historical event! It's kind of like the Chinese version of the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones, but perhaps less bloody. This was a banquet that was held with the intention to murder the guests.
