<h4>Chapter 1230: Chapter 1242</h4>
Yuwen Kangli nodded slightly, "You guessed right, but it’s already toote. Your Gongsun Linhua caused a scene at the banquet, and it’ll be headline news tomorrow."
Gongsun Linhua red at Yuwen Kangli fiercely, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
"Since I’ve already lost face, I might as well be even more shameless."
Gongsun Linhua was determined to go all out and charged at Yuwen Kangli once more.
Yuwen Kangli was mischievous and often got into fights from a young age, so he seldom lost a fight.
Soon, the two of them were wrestling with each other.
Chu Ge watched them coldly, knowing that Yuwen Kangli was deliberately provoking Gongsun Linhua to vent his own frustrations.
Given that, Chu Ge decided to stay out of it.
Gongsun Lihan was anxious when she saw her brother and Yuwen Kangli fighting so disgracefully. She wanted to intervene but didn’t know how.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting."
Gongsun Lihan jumped around anxiously, but no matter how she shouted, they showed no intention of stopping.
Desperate, Gongsun Lihan turned to Chu Ge and hurried over, saying, "Chu Ge, please help stop my brother. I know you’re skilled in martial arts; you must have a way, right?"
Chu Ge slowly withdrew his hand and shook his head slightly, "The person you should be looking for is security, not me."
Gongsun Lihan was stunned by Chu Ge’s coldness, staring at him in disbelief.
This wasn’t the Chu Ge she knew. How could he be so cold-blooded?
Chu Ge lifted his gaze and saw several security personnel rush in at the door. They squeezed through the crowd and quickly pulled Yuwen Kangli and Gongsun Linhua apart.
"Let go of me!"
Gongsun Linhua shouted, "Do you know who I am? Let me go immediately, or you’ll regret it!"
"Young Master Gongsun, please calm down. Mr. Gongsun is upstairs. Do you want him toe and speak to you himself?"
Gongsun Linhua was stunned, then asked, "What did you say? My grandfather is upstairs?"
"Yes, and Old Master Yuwen is there too. They are inviting the two young masters upstairs."
Yuwen Kangli was also surprised, scratching his head, "I didn’t hear anything from Grandfather about attending the banquet today."
"Please, young masters."
One of the security personnel gestured politely.
Gongsun Linhua straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and turned to Gongsun Lihan, "Lihan, let’s go."
Gongsun Lihan gave Chu Ge a deep look before reluctantly following Gongsun Linhua out.
Yuwen Kangli returned to Chu Ge’s side and said, "Mr. Chu, would you like to join us upstairs?"
Since Chu Ge knew the elders, it wouldn’t hurt for him toe along.
Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I’ll pass. You go ahead. I’m nning to go out for some fresh air."
Since Chu Ge wasn’t interested, Yuwen Kangli didn’t push and shrugged, "Alright then, I’ll head up first."
In a lounge on the second floor, Old Master Yuwen, Old Master Gongsun, Mr. Nangong, and Old Master Huangpu were all sitting, engaged in conversation.
The door opened, and Yuwen Kangli and Gongsun Linhua walked in.
As soon as they entered, the expressions of Old Master Yuwen and Old Master Gongsun changed.
Old Master Gongsun looked slightly displeased, "What kind of trouble were you causing downstairs again?"
Gongsun Linhua feigned innocence, not caring if the masters were present, and exined directly, "Grandfather, you don’t know, it was Yuwen Kangli and Chu Ge. They teamed up to bully Lihan, so I had to confront them!"
Mr. Gongsun looked puzzled, "What did you say? Who are you talking about, Mr. Chu Ge?"
"That’s right! Him! Lihan, tell Grandfather, didn’t they team up to bully you?"
Seeing his grandfather’s disbelief, Gongsun Linhua quickly pushed his sister forward.
Gongsun Lihan stood there with her head down, not speaking.
Old Master Gongsun frowned, "From what I know of Mr. Chu, he’s not the type to bully others. You must have deliberately picked on him."
Yuwen Kangli nodded vigorously since he didn’t have the right to speak in front of so many elders, he could only express himself through gestures.
Old Master Yuwen nced up at him and said in a reprimanding tone, "Stand up straight. Do you think this doesn’t concern you?"
Yuwen Kangli chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "I was just defending myself. He hit me first."
Old Master Yuwen snapped, "If you hadn’t bullied Miss Lihan, would her brother have taught you a lesson?"
Yuwen Kangli pouted, "I didn’t bully Lihan. She shamelessly approached Mr. Chu while we were having tea. She and her friends insulted us when Mr. Chu didn’t fulfill her wishes."
His voice wasn’t small, and everyone in the room heard it.
Gongsun Linhua red even more angrily at Yuwen Kangli, demanding, "Yuwen Kangli! Didn’t we have enough earlier? How about we finish this outside!"
"Enough!"
Old Master Gongsun shouted, "Aren’t you embarrassed enough?"
Gongsun Linhua pressed his lips tightly; in front of his grandfather, he didn’t dare to act out, only ring at Yuwen Kangli resentfully.
Old Master Gongsun looked up at Gongsun Lihan, asking, "Is what Kangli said true? Did you take your friends to bother Chu Ge?"
Gongsun Lihan pursed her lips and replied quietly, "I just wanted to y with him, but he didn’t appreciate it. My girlfriends then said a few things."
"Nonsense!"
Old Master Gongsun red at her sternly, "You’re still a minor. What are you thinking all day?"
Gongsun Lihan pouted, "Why shouldn’t minors date?"
Yuwen Kangli couldn’t help but snicker, "Teen dating isn’t news, but Mr. Chu already has a girlfriend. Isn’t it disgraceful to try seducing him?"
"Kangli!"
Old Master Yuwen scolded, "Keep your mouth shut!"
Yuwen Kangli stuck his tongue out and obediently stood aside.
Gongsun Lihan’s cheeks flushed red, and she red at Yuwen Kangli, "I... I didn’t know Chu Ge had a girlfriend."
Old Master Huangpu, who had been silent, smiled slightly, "Alright, it’s just kids’ squabbles. Why dwell on it?"
