“Thope that’s the case. Then why haven’t you come out to clarify it? After all, the longer this matter drags on, the greater the impact on the Gu family.”
“What’s the rush? You’ll see the news online soon.”
Gu Shen nodded, then chuckled. “I heard that the family members of the victim kept complaining that they didn’t get any compensation at all. I was thinking of helping Uncle to compensate and shut those family members up.”
“Idon’t need help from a cripple. I already gave them the compensation, or else…” He suddenly paused, not expecting himself to say it out loud.
He raised his head and looked over. He wanted to turn around and run. Gu Shen looked very calm, but his eyes were too scary. There was killing intent hidden within.
“Gu Sheng, everything you said just now is a lie. Why are you lying to Father,” Gu Ling finally found an opportunity to speak. Her tone was sharp and unkind, “You can’t even handle this kind of thing properly. You even want to drag us into this. How embarrassing.”
Yan Xi frowned when Gu Ling suddenly jumped out.
Gu Ling and Gu Shen had always been enemies. Why was she suddenly on his side?
Although Yan Xi had no clue, Gu Shen was perfectly aware of what Gu Ling was trying to do. “Uncle, if the news of finding a scapegoat to take the blame is exposed, it will further damage the Gu family’s reputation. Now, other than turning yourself in, there’s no better solution. I believe you don’t want to
implicate the Gu family, do you?”
Gu Sheng was scared. He raised his voice. “You are trying to ruin me. Gu Shen, let me tell you something, there is no way I will go to jail, so don’t ever think about it.”
“Twas just thinking about the big picture.”
“That’s enough.” Gu Hai thumped the floor with his walking stick. He looked at Gu Sheng and smashed the teacup at him.
“Look at yourself. After everything you’ve done, you still want to push the responsibility away.”
Gu Sheng instantly lowered his head. “I… I’ve already settled everything. Those people won’t say anything, as long as
“Alright, I’ll send someone to handle this matter.” Gu Hai glared at Gu Sheng angrily and then looked at Gu Shen. “You, come with me to the study room.”
Yan Xi pushed Gu Shen into the study room. Because she was worried, she did not leave and stood silently behind him.
Gu Hai allowed Yan Xi to stay as she once saved his life.
“Gu Shen, you must have felt hard done by today. However, it is because you took over some of your uncle’s companies that he was angry at you. Don’t hold it against him.”
Old Master Gu seemed to be comforting Gu Shen, but in fact he was trying to help Gu Sheng.
‘When Yan Xi heard that, she couldn’t help but sneer. Gu Hai was really biased! Gu Shen and Gu Sheng were all his family. Why did he like that useless trash so much?
Gu Shen shook his head. “I understand. I won’t blame him.”
“I’s good that you understand. You are all members of the Gu family, you must always think about the big picture.” Gu Hai changed the topic. He was obviously very suspicious of Gu Shen. “I haven’t asked you. When did you know about this?”
Yan Xi’s face turned cold. At this moment, he was still suspicious of Gu Shen, wondering what he was up to.
Gu Shen smiled. “I’ve been busy with the company recently. I saw the news online.”
“Theard from Gu Sheng that you’ve been reforming the two companies recently. Any progress?”
“Not yet, I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
Gu Hai was just casually asking, He did not expect Gu Shen to implement change. “You’ve worked hard recently. Rest early tonight.”
“Okay, I will.”
Yan Xi complained as she pushed Gu Shen out of the study room.
“Everything he said back in there indicates that he’s suspicious of you.”
Gu Shen smiled. “You did well today. At least you didn’t act impulsively.”
“Being impulsive will only make things harder for you.” Yan Xi’s tone was firm. “I said I’ll protect you, so I naturally won’t cause you trouble.”
Gu Shen’s heart melted. He was about to speak when a figure blocked their way.
“What did Grandpa just tell you?”
Gu Ling, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, looked slightly anxious.
Gu Shen glanced at her and answered truthfully, “He suspects that it was me who let out the news to intentionally ruin Uncle.”
Gu Ling sneered, “I knew he would be suspicious. Then what did you say?”
“L replied honestly.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Ling asked, her voice rising, “What did you say exactly?”
