Chapter 631: Fighting For The Inheritance
Gu Zheng was silent for a long while before he said indifferently, “Seal off all news and pretend nothing happened.”
Confused, Song Shijing didn’t ask further and followed Gu Zheng’s instructions.
…
The next morning, Qiao Xi had just opened her eyes when she heard the noise outside.
No noise was allowed in the hospital so as to not disturb the patients’ rest. Who was it who came to disturb the patients so early in the morning?
Qiao Xi got up impatiently and was about to go to the ward next door to see Gu Zheng when she saw a group of people blocking the corridor. Song Shijing was receiving them.
Gu Zheng was staying in a VIP ward. There was a living room outside the ward, and the group of people had just taken their seats.
Qiao Xi stood at the door and carefully sized them up. They seemed to be a couple with a few children. Although they said they were here to visit Gu Zheng, there wasn’t the slightest bit of worry in their eyes.
What caused Qiao Xi to feel strange was that didn’t Gu Zheng already order the news to be sealed off? Why did these people still know about Gu Zheng being injured?
The noise grew louder. Fortunately, the soundproofing in the living room was good and did not disturb the other patients.
“Song Shijing, you’re just an assistant. What right do you have to interfere in our family affairs? Gu Zheng is unconscious and has no heir. The most important thing now is to select a new successor!”
“We know that you’re loyal, but you have to think about the Gu family. If Gu Zheng is gone just like that, the Gu family will be in big trouble if we’re without a leader!”
Qiao Xi sneered. It looked like these people thought Gu Zheng was dead, so they hastily came over to fight for the position of heir. When she heard this, the flames of rage in her heart burned fiercely.
Song Shijing was also frowning, his face full of anger. “Our president is still alive and well. Why should we select the next heir? Even if we really want to change the heir, what right do you have when you’re just a member of the Gu branch family? If you want your children to be adopted by our young madam, you have to first check if your children are even qualified to be the heir!”
Qiao Xi: “??”
No wonder they brought over a few children with them when they came to visit. It turned out that they wanted her to adopt these children.
Song Shijing didn’t care about the other party’s reputation at all, but the other party didn’t feel embarrassed. The man continued, “We’re doing this for Mrs. Gu’s sake. She’s a weak woman without a husband and a child. How can she manage Gu Corporation alone?
“In the past, the Gu Corporation had Gu Zheng, so naturally, no one dared to cause trouble. But Mrs. Gu is just a woman. How can she convince the public? My son is already 25 years old this year. If he’s adopted by Mrs. Gu, he’ll definitely be able to revive Gu Corporation. Isn’t this a good thing?
“Although the child isn’t Mrs. Gu’s biological child, she’s still the mother of the heir in name. She doesn’t have to care about anything in the future and can even make a fortune. How carefree she’ll be!”
Qiao Xi: “?” ‘Are you kidding me? I’m only 20 years old, yet you want me to adopt a 25-year-old son? Are you crazy?!’
“Song Shijing, loyalty is a good thing, but Young Madam is not a member of the Gu family, after all. If we give her Gu Corporation, she might give it to another man in the blink of an eye. This young woman is immature and will be easily seduced.
“I heard that Mrs. Gu is the eldest daughter of the Xu family. If you don’t give us Gu Corporation, sooner or later, Gu Corporation will change its name to Xu Corporation. Don’t regret it then!”
Qiao Xi stood at the door with a face full of disdain. They were clearly doing this for their own benefits, yet they spoke so many pompous words. It was simply too laughable.
Song Shijing said that he had already blocked the news. Gu Yao didn’t even know that Gu Zheng was injured, but the Gu branch family knew about it. They must have something to do with the attempted murder.
At this moment, Qiao Xi was already very clear in her heart that if she continued to investigate, all the clues would point to the Gu family. Chairman Gu must have sent people from the Gu branch family to visit Gu Zheng because he wanted to know whether Gu Zheng was dead or not.
Gu Weiming felt that if he wanted Lu Yan to acknowledge the Gu family and become the heir, he had to kill Gu Zheng. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
Now that there was no news of Gu Zheng, they were certain that Gu Zheng was doomed. Therefore, they could not wait to snatch Gu Corporation away and take away his position as heir.
