Beiying Chu raised her eyebrows without speaking. Of course, she was unfamiliar since she had only returned to the Imperial Capital a few days ago, so how could others not recognize her?

Gu Beihan heard the commotion as if it was his sister’s voice, so he followed it and found his sister’s hand being held by someone.

His sister was causing a ruckus like a shrew. Gu Beihan frowned.

“Miss, I am Gu Beihan. May I ask you to let go of my sister first?” Gu Beihan saw his sister’s appearance and couldn’t help but ask Beiying Chu.

“Let her go? So she can hit me? Do you think I’m a fool?” Beiying Chu coldly glanced at Gu Beihan.

“Miss, maybe there’s some misunderstanding? How could my sister possibly hit you?” Gu Beihan was also annoyed with Gu Beilin, but he had to help her in public, as she represented the Gus’ reputation.

“You should ask her about that.” Beiying Chu lifted her chin, gesturing towards Gu Beilin.

“Beilin, what exactly did you do?” Gu Beihan looked at Beiying Chu’s appearance, which didn’t seem like she was lying. He then looked at the people around him and noticed some whispering. He then turned to Gu Beilin and asked.

“Brother, this woman bumped into me and then yelled at me. So I…” Gu Beilin’s voice trailed off, meeting Gu Beihan’s increasingly cold gaze.

“So you wanted to fight her just for that?” Gu Beihan looked at Gu Beilin with disappointment. It would have been fine if she could win the fight, but she was no match for the other party, which made her look foolish. She had lost all face for the Gus.

“Brother, I just lost my mind being angry at her. But I didn’t actually hit her.” Gu Beilin looked pitifully at her brother. Wasn’t she the one being bullied? Why would her brother side with an outsider and blame her?

“Apologize to her,” Gu Beihan sternly ordered Gu Beilin.

“I won’t.” Gu Beilin’s eyes were red as she looked at her brother. Why should she apologize?

“If you don’t apologize, you can go home now and never leave the house again.” Gu Beihan was utterly disappointed in his sister. Didn’t she realize the importance of the situation?

“Miss, I apologize on behalf of my sister. Can you let go of her and let it pass just this once?” Although Gu Beihan hadn’t met Beiying Chu before, he knew that anyone present at this event was not an ordinary person.

Everyone here was a distinguished member of the upper class, ranking among the top families. Therefore, they couldn’t be easily offended, especially a woman like Beiying Chu, who dared to take action, was even more extraordinary.

“I can let go, but I want her to apologize to me personally.” Beiying Chu pointed to Gu Beilin with her other hand.

“I refuse.” Gu Beilin looked at the crowd around her. If she apologized now, how could she ever hold her head up again?

Gu Beilin had forgotten that the eyes of the crowd were sharp. Some had seen the beginning of the incident.

Initially, Gu Beilin had bumped into Beiying Chu but instead blamed her, eventually trying to hit her. Now, Beiying Chu only asked for an apology, which was already lenient, but Gu Beilin refused.

If Gu Beilin apologized now, she might still save some face. But she stubbornly refused.

At that moment, everyone shared the same idea: never to associate with Miss Gu of the Gus again.

If Gu Beilin knew the consequences of her refusal to apologize, she would surely regret it deeply.
