Although Xu Zhanwang was still indignant, he eventually managed to suppress his anger.
Xu Weilai then glanced towards Gu Yu. She didn't manage to see who it was that had jumped forward to take the blow on his behalf and only now did she realise that it was Zuo Si.
Half of Zuo Si's face had already turned bluish from the bruising and she could barely stand as she leaned against Gu Yu for support. Gu Yu held onto her arm as he stared at her injuries and his brows were knitted into a tight frown while his thin lips pursed tautly.
Assistant Lin finally managed to react to the situation and stepped forward to support her other arm before he asked worriedly, "Miss Zuo, are you alright?"
Zuo Si seemed very dizzy for her gaze was disoriented and she couldn't seem to reply them.
"Help her over to my office and call for the Doctor, " Gu Yu instructed concisely.
Assistant Lin nodded and carefully helped Zuo Si out of the room with the help of her assistant Wu Qin.
It was obvious that the meeting would not take place today and thus, Gu Yu scanned his eyes at everyone in the room before he announced in a deep voice, "The meeting is cancelled and we'll notify you on when it's rescheduled. Get out, all of you."
After Gu Yu threw out his orders, no matter how curious some of the onlookers were, nobody dared to disobey him and everyone quickly left the meeting room.
Xiao Chun was the last to leave and made her way over to Xu Weilai before she asked, "Do you need help?"
Xu Weilai shook her head and assured, "It's alright. Don't worry, run along."
"Call me if you need anything, " Xiao Chun insisted before she, too, left the meeting room. She even closed the door after her thoughtfully to stop the nosy onlookers from prying.
The large meeting room instantly fell silent.
Xu Weilai stared at Gu Yu who was still expressionless. Pursing her lips, she took a step forward to him and apologised, "I'm sorry for the reckless things that my brother did today as well as how he ruined your meeting and injured Miss Zuo by accident."
When Xu Zhanwang head this, he couldn't help but protest, "Sis, don't apologize to him. Why should you? He should be the one to apologize for betraying you. What's wrong with beating him up?"
"Shut up!"Xu Weilai roared and glared at Xu Zhanwang before she remarked, "I'll deal with you later!"
She knew that her brother was obsessed with protecting her and had come to the Gu Corporation to seek justice for her. But she knew that violence wouldn't solve the problem and would even aggravate matters.
One could even be prosecuted for assaulting others.
"Gu Yu, Zhanwang did this because of me. If you want to pursue the matter, then hold me responsible for it. Please relay this to Miss Zuo on my behalf as well."
Gu Yu's dark pupils fell on Xu Weilai's face and he seemed exceptionally gloomy. After being silent for some time, he then replied, "Xu Weilai, this is our company and it's a place for business. Please take your younger brother in hand. We wouldn't show you any mercy if this happens again."
With a forced a smile, Xu Weilai nodded and agreed, "Noted on this."
"Leave as soon as possible!"
After spitting out these words coldly, Gu Yu looked away from her and strode out of the meeting room quickly.
...
When Xu Weilai dragged Xu Zhanwang out of the Gu Corporation, he seemed livid and like he was dying to charge back in and pick a fight with Gu Yu.
With the help of Gu Xue, Xu Weilai managed to force him into the cab that she had called. She then got into the taxi, sat down beside him and held his hand tightly. Gu Xue took her seat in the passenger seat and the cab drove off.
Xu Weilai didn't let go of Xu Zhanwang until their cab was some distance away. Xu Zhanwang had nowhere to vent his anger and could only punch the back of the chair in front of him."Gu Yu is too mcuh. You shouldn't have stopped me!" he roared.
