Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 910: Finding the Reason for Tong Rao’s Change in Attitude

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Gu family’s ancestral hall, Gu Zhaoye was summoned to receive the family’s punishment. After enduring ten lashes, he had been recovering at home for the past few days.

He initially thought that since his elder brother could withstand 49 lashes, ten should be manageable for him. However, he was taken by surprise when he cried out in pain after just one lash and lost consciousness after three.

In the end, he had to be splashed awake by the Second Elder, who was in charge of administering the punishment, and forced to continue.

During the ordeal, he broke down, pleading for his parents and declaring he wouldn’t accept the blame, no matter how much money was offered.

The Second Elder, annoyed by his pleas, had him silenced.

Gu Zhaoye couldn’t shake the feeling that the Second Elder had struck him with more force than he had used on his elder brother.

Now, Gu Zhaoye lay on the sofa, absorbed in a game on his phone.

His rear still sore from the punishment, Gu Zhaoye couldn’t go out and drink with his friends, so he turned to mobile games for distraction. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even get past the second level.

“Damn it, even a stupid game is ganging up on me!” Gu Zhaoye cursed, throwing his phone on the floor.

At that moment, Gu Shuzhi placed a phone playing a video in front of him.

Since Gu Zhaoye had taken the blame for Gu Shuzhi, he had become noticeably more defiant in front of his son. “I don’t want to watch the video now! Son, light me a cigarette!”

Gu Shuzhi replied coolly, “Dad, I think I should light an incense for you instead.”

“What are you talking about…”

When Gu Zhaoye heard the familiar voice from the video, he abruptly fell silent. His eyes widened in shock as he listened to his own drunken ramblings. “Son, why do you have my video?”

“Your video is all over the Internet right now.”

Gu Shuzhi felt mentally and physically drained.

Gu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment before suddenly exclaiming, “It must be Big Brother! I was drunk at the time. Big Brother must have arranged for someone to deliberately get me to talk about that incident!”

Gu Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. At least his biological father wasn’t completely clueless; he could see something so obvious.

“What should we do?” Gu Zhaoye asked urgently. He tried to sit up straight, but the pain in his rear made him grimace.

A thought suddenly struck Gu Zhaoye. “Oh, Dad said we shouldn’t air our family’s dirty laundry online. Let’s go to Dad and complain. We can use this to get Big Brother into more trouble!”

Gu Shuzhi countered, “Do you have any evidence?”

Gu Zhaoye paused. “No. But isn’t it clear that we need to…”

Gu Shuzhi cut him off. “Without evidence, it’s all just speculation.”

He knew he couldn’t rely on his father to protect the family assets and intended to use this situation to teach him a lesson and stop him from being a liability.

At the Gu family’s main branch villa, Tong Rao had been sending Gu Yang a steady stream of gifts—jewelry, clothes, bags, perfume, cosmetics—but Gu Yang had rejected all of them.

Feng Jue, after finishing his work, visited Gu Zhaoming. Upon learning from the butler that Gu Yang was in the piano room, he went upstairs to find her. He pushed open the door and said, “Sister, I know why Tong Rao’s attitude has changed.”

Gu Yang wasn’t alone in the piano room; Gu Jin was there too.

Gu Yang was resting at the piano, while Gu Jin leaned against the window, discussing the secrets of the Tong family. Gu Pei sat in the corner, observing the show
