Chapter 1425 Joy and Sorrow 5

He easily carried her and left the room as he said, “I just came in, but there are things that need to be clarified. Close the door.”

Xi Xiaye quickly reached out and closed the door.

“I guess I fell asleep because it’s been so busy lately. Fortunately, it’s going to be the New Year holidays in a few days. Do you want to come to the company’s annual meeting next Monday?” Xi Xiaye said as she quickly tucked herself in after he gently lowered her onto the bed.

Mu Yuchen also lay next to her while reaching out his hand to turn off the light, leaving only a dim wall lamp next to the full-length window.

“Is it at seven in the evening on the seventh floor of the Imperial Sky?” he asked in his low voice while his big hands circled her slender waist and pulled her close.

“Yes, isn’t tomorrow the annual meeting of Glory World Corporation?” she responded as she turned her head and looked at him under the dim light, but he had already closed his eyes.

“I have asked Li Si to order the gown and send it straight to you. You can get off work early tomorrow. I may have to go to City Hall first, so I’ll pick you up later, okay?” He could feel the alcohol kicking in from the drinks earlier. As he spoke, he leaned over towards Xi Xiaye, and his grip around her waist tightened.

She faintly replied, “How much did you drink? You look tipsy.”

“Not much. It’s okay. Sleep early. We need to get up early tomorrow,” he said to her followed by a gentle goodnight kiss.

However, while this couple had a lovely moment on this dark, quiet night, in the Qi residence...

“Young Master, Missus, I have confirmed that Gu President, Mu Lingmo, and Mu Lingshi have returned to City B. This is what President Gu asked his men to send over. Young Master, there’s also a letter for you from President Gu.”

It was already midnight, and Gu Lingsha had just returned from supper when Qi Feng’s assistant, Morrison, rushed over to deliver the news.

Gu Lingsha was shocked when she heard the news, and she looked at Morrison coldly. “What did you say? My dad has returned to City B? With Lingmo and Lingshi? What do you mean?”

Qi Feng did not look pleased either. He sat silently on the sofa and glanced at Gu Lingsha for a while before reaching out for the folder that Morrison had brought over.

However, Gu Lingsha beat him to it and opened it. She hurriedly pulled out the documents inside and began reading.

Unfortunately, the more she read, the darker her face became. By the time she got to the end of the document, her face was as cold as ice!

“Impossible! This is impossible!”

Bang!

Gu Lingsha threw the documents on the table with a force so strong that the cups on the table almost tipped over.

“Did he really just abandon me like that? Cutting all ties? What does he mean by ‘look out for yourself’? What does he mean? Mu Lingshi actually became the heir of the Hui Gu Corporation, the legal heir of the Gu family. Well, what about me? What am I? She’s just an illegitimate daughter, so why her? Why did Father give up on me like this? Have I become his abandoned daughter? Have I?” Gu Lingsha said in disbelief as she gawked at the documents on the table with her big blue eyes.

She thought that everything was just a rumor. Gu Qiwu only did what he had done in the past because of the pressure from Mu Yuchen, but now, what could this mean?

Qi Feng’s reaction was just as bad. He was probably influenced by Gu Lingsha’s emotions as well.

As he looked at the sentence written on the white paper in front of him, Qi Feng’s expression was extremely gloomy and cold. Even Morrison, who was standing far away, could feel his iciness and was taken aback. He instinctively looked at Qi Feng who had already closed his eyes.

“It’s probably best to put an end to everything now and treat Shasha well. Otherwise, Wang Qin’s matters will only drag on.” Gu Qiwu had merely said to Qi Feng.

Qi Feng tore the paper in his hand into half and took out the lighter from his pocket. He lit the paper on fire and watched the flame engulf all the pieces of paper before he threw it...

“Young Master?” Morrison asked worriedly when he realized that something was wrong.

“Ah Feng, what should I do? Father actually took Mu Lingshi and the others back to City B. What do you think it means? What does he mean?”

Gu Lingsha took the stack of documents on the table with her trembling hands and handed it to Qi Feng. “How could he do this? Mu Lingshi is just an illegitimate daughter, but she’s taking my place now! Why!? As compensation? Who wants that compensation? What do they want me to do?”

Gu Lingsha was agitated. She felt more distressed than sad. In fact, she felt extremely distressed as though she was being abandoned.

Why Mu Lingshi?

She was the beloved daughter of the Gu family, the apple of their eye, was she not?

Gu Lingsha could not help but feel even more pain now. Why was she slowly losing everything when she obviously tried so hard to keep them? Why?

“Missus?” Morrison asked anxiously after seeing how the husband and wife reacted. He could not think of anything else, so he quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the document from Gu Lingsha’s hand before reading through it.

Qi Feng took a deep breath and glanced at Gu Lingsha beside him. Her eyes were red.

Morrison could probably guess what the document was about without reading it. Sure enough, his face changed when he read it. He then looked at Qi Feng anxiously...

“Young Master, President Gu...He’s trying to stay out of the matter, so he brought Mu Lingshi back to City B to avoid us. He then told Missus that he would never come to City Z again and that if it’s convenient for Missus, she could send Miss Doris back to England or City B for burial. Also, he said that he hopes Missus and her sister, Mu Lingshi, can live in harmony...”

“I don’t have any sister! My mother, Doris, was of noble birth and she only had one daughter—me, Gu Lingsha! I have nothing to do with Mu Lingshi! Who’s her sister? Impossible! She’s an illegitimate daughter!” Gu Lingsha retorted when Morrison said that.

As she was talking, she got so agitated that she reached out and flipped the table in front of her. She then got up and said coldly, “I won’t be her sister! They can’t do this to me! Wasn’ t it enough that they hurt my mother? Why are they getting all the advantages? Who does Lingshi think she is? What does she have?”

Gu Lingsha gritted her teeth before she turned around and rushed upstairs begrudgingly.

“Missus, calm down!” Morrison said fearfully when he saw her storm off in fury.
