Eric still drove Ellison's car to Gu family, and there was no time for him to return the car.
When he got back to the Gu family, almost all people gathered in the living room. Wayne was sitting in
the middle. On his left sat Angela and Richard. On his right were Jade and Simon. And beside them
was Frank.
"Angela, you didn't take care of Eric when he was a child. Now he has made such a mess. He
embarrassed the Gu family. How can the Gu family gain a reputation in the Guan city in the future?"
Jade said sarcastically.
Angela glanced at her, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but she didn't show it. "It's my
responsibility to not teach Eric well. I'll wait for him..."
"This is my business. My parents don't fail to teach me. It's none of their business." Entering the living
room, Eric interrupted and glanced at Jade unhappily. "I have my own thoughts. No matter what I have
done is right or wrong, it's all my own business. It has nothing to do with them."
"Eric, you can't say that." Jade said, "This time you are not the only one involved. All the Gu family are
involved. How could you say that?"
"Auntie, as you said, Gu family was involved, but you are not surnamed Gu." Eric answered back
sarcastically. To be honest, he had never admitted that she was a member of the Gu family.
"You..." Jade blushed and was about to lose her temper. But before she could do that, Wayne shouted,
"Enough!"
He glanced at Jade with a straight and then turned to Eric, "Do you know what happened last night had
a great influence on Gu family?"
"I know." Standing in front of him, Eric replied in a very calm tone.
"Do you know that AF Company might give up the cooperation with us because of that?" His tone
became very serious, and he stared at Eric with fury.
Hearing that, Eric frowned unconsciously. Since Lily told him about AF Company, he had stopped the
project that he had received from Wayne, and he hadn't proposed to cooperate with him any more,
though he hadn't told Wayne yet.
Besides, it was not the right time to tell him now. He could only wait for Ellison to have the results of
investigation.
"I know." His answer was less confident than before.
"How could you do such a thing when you know that?" He was so angry that he banged the table,
making the noise of the glass tea set. "Kneel down! I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Father." As soon as Angela heard the family rules, she immediately stood up and said, "It's my fault
that I didn't teach Eric well. I..."
"Just sit here." "I will teach him a lesson today. No one can stop me," He interrupted, glaring at her.
Hearing what he said, nobody in the Gu family dared to stop him.
Even though Angela loved and cared about her son, she could do nothing. She turned around and
looked at her husband. He seemed not to care about it at all. She didn't know what he was thinking
about.
But when she looked at Eric, who was already kneeling in the middle of the living room, her eyes
directly turned red. She knew the family rules of the Gu family. She never hit her son, now let him bear
the family rules. How could she not be distressed?
At this time, Wayne had stood up from the sofa, holding the prepared soft whip in his hand, and walked
towards Eric step by step.
Seeing this, Angela was even more anxious, but she had no choice. She sat down on the sofa and
turned her head away.
However, when she turned her head, her sight met with that of Jade exactly. There was a pleased light
in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
Ever since she married into the Gu family, Jade didn't like her at all. Instead, she always tried to
provoke her relationships with other people in the Gu family and showed off how excellent her son was
in front of her. Now that Eric was punished, she felt very happy secretly.
At this moment, Eric, who was kneeling on the ground, was somewhat grateful that he didn't bring Lily
with him. Otherwise, her thin body couldn't bear it.
He didn't feel nervous but calm when he saw Wayne standing beside him with a whip.
"This is the third time I use the family rules in my life." "The first time, your father was disobedient when
he was a child, and I hit him. The second time, he didn't admit what he had done wrong. And this time,
you did something wrong."
"Grandpa, I know I made you unhappy this time. I will take the punishment as you wish. But I don't
think I did something wrong." Eric stared at Wayne.
"You... You actually said that you didn't do anything wrong?" Wayne glared at him angrily.
"No, I didn't." Eric was still calm. "Last time when I fell off a cliff, my legs were broken and I was
hospitalized, you saw that I had a crush on her. And one day when I kissed her, you also saw me
kissing her. But you didn't say anything. Didn't you acquiesce in our relationship?"
He said it on purpose, but it was partly true. Last time when he kissed the wound on Lily's neck, he
indeed met it.
Hearing this, Wayne was stunned. That was true. When he went to the hospital with Frank, he opened
the door and saw it. He then said, "Did I acquiesce in it? At that time, I was against it!"
"But you didn't say anything afterwards, just let me help you with the company affairs." Said Eric.
"You mean I acquiesce in your relationship with that girl by the condition that you go back to the
company?" Wayne asked.
"Isn't it true?"
Slap!
The moment he finished his words, he was whipped on the back. He frowned in pain.
Slap!
He whipped again on his back.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Another three whips fell on the same place.
Though in an old age, Wayne waved the whip with great strength. The sound of the whip in the air
when it fell on the person was frightening, and the sound of it falling on the person was even more
frightening.
But Eric gritted his teeth and bore it. He didn't move, not even making a sound.
"Tell me, do you did something wrong?" Wayne stopped his whip and shouted angrily.
"No, I'm not!" Eric answered confidently.
Slap!
He whipped again in the same position.
"Have you done something wrong?" Asked Wayne.
"I didn't!" In his eyes, it was not a mistake for him to insist on his own will to kiss her. She belonged to
him. Seeing her in such a close relationship with another man, he was just jealous. What's wrong with
forcing her to be with him?
Slap!
Nobody knew how many times he would wield this time.
"Do think you are wrong?" His voice was still loud, but a little breathless.
"No, I'm not!" Eric answered firmly.
"You..." Wayne was too angry to say a word. He knew that Eric would be more stubborn, but he did not
expect him to be so stubborn. After a few Whips, his back was already stained with blood. But he did
not say anything.
Click.
Wayne threw the whip on the ground. And then he reached out to Eric and said, "Give me your phone."
Hearing this, Eric raised his head and looked at him. He frowned and didn't hand over his phone
immediately.
"Hand it over!" He emphasized.
Eric's brows knitted even tighter, but he still took out the phone and handed it to his grandfather,
keeping his eyes on him all the time.
Wayne turned off his phone and demanded, "You stay here and don't go anywhere."
As he said, he turned his head and looked at Angela and Richard, "You are not allowed to see him!"
As soon as his words dropped, everyone knew that he was going to lock Eric in the room.
"Father..." "Eric is still a young man. It's inevitable for him to do something wrong. Now that you have
punished him and beat him, but this..."
"I didn't do anything wrong." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Eric, "Dad, can
you tell me what I did wrong? What's wrong with liking someone? Don't you know how you and mom
got through all these years?"
"Eric," Richard looked at his son with displeasure and said, "You are still young..."
"Shouldn't I stick to what I like when I was young?" Eric asked.
"Look, you're protecting your son!" Wayne looked at Richard with disapproved as he pointed at Eric.
"Dad, Eric is still young and in the rebellious period." Richard tried to persuade him again, "And he is
growing up. How could you not let him eat or drink when you grounded him for two days?"
"He did something wrong and he deserved it!"
"Father..."
"Okay!" Wayne interrupted Richard and then looked at Eric, "If you admit your mistake, the punishment
is unnecessary. You..."
"I've told you that I didn't do anything wrong." Before Wayne could finish his words, he was interrupted
by Eric again. Eric looked straight into his eyes and said, "Grandpa, you know me well. Even if you
grounded me for ten days and half a month, my answer will still be the same!"
"You, you..." "Go to your room now! You are not allowed to come out without my permission!" said
Wayne with trembling hands, pointing at Eric angrily.
Seeing his grandpa was so angry to be like this, there was a flash of self reproach in Eric's eyes, but he
did not show it too obviously. Enduring the pain, he stood up from the ground, took a deep look at
Wayne, and then looked at Angela and Richard with apology. At last, he walked out of the living room.
"Eric," With that, Angela stepped forward, but was stopped by Wayne, "If you dare to stop him, just lock
him for one more day."
Hearing this, Angela could only feel anxious. She took a look at Wayne, and then looked at Richard
and Jade. In the end, she chose to turn around and go upstairs. Out of sight, out of mind.
