Chapter 272 Grandpa was once backstabbed

Yu Meili followed Song Yubai to the underground garage and was stunned when she saw his sports car.

She got in carefully, fastened her seatbelt, and asked, "Secretary Song, your family should be well off, right?"

Song Yubai started the car and said, "It's okay, not as good as the best but better than the worst. My dad runs a small business."

Yu Meili envied: "That's great."

She knew that Song Yubai was being modest. How could a small businessman afford to buy a car worth over one million yuan?

Song Yubai glanced at Yu Meili and asked curiously, "When did your father die? Are you the only one left at home?"

Yu Meili's hands subconsciously clenched the bag, "He passed away at the end of last year. It's good that he passed away. It was a relief for him. He used to drive a truck for transportation. He was in a serious car accident ten years ago and killed several people."

"We sold our car and house, but it wasn't enough to compensate him. He himself was seriously injured and became paralyzed from the waist down. My mother couldn't stand it, so she divorced him and left. She never came back and hasn't contacted us."

"We had no choice but to move in with my uncle's family, and my grandparents helped take care of my dad. I went out to work to earn money to pay off the debt and pay for my dad's medical treatment, as well as rent and living expenses for my uncle."

Song Yubai didn't expect that Yu Meili's life experience was so tragic. He admired her very much in his heart, "It's really not easy for you."

Yu Meili smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, it's all over. Looking back now, I don't think it was that difficult."

Song Yubai: "Yes, things will get better in the future. Are you still living in your uncle's house now?"

Yu Meili: "Well, my grandparents are still there and they don't let me move out, but I have decided to move out. I'm looking for a house recently. I want to rent a house near the company and move out when I find a suitable one."

Song Yubai did not ask Yu Meiling why she wanted to move out.

But he could imagine that life under someone else's roof would definitely not be easy.

Song Yubai: "Then I'll help you keep an eye out for houses. What are your requirements for living environment and rent?"

Yu Meili: "Of course the cheaper the better. As for the environment and safety, I don't have any requirements."

Song Yubai: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Yu Meili raised her dark eyes and looked at Song Yubai, "Thank you, Secretary Song."

Song Yubai: "Don't be polite to me."

Yu Meili felt her face getting hot again. She quickly turned her head to look out the window, and her mood became cheerful.

-

On the other side, Gu Yunchi got off work and went home on time.

When he returned home, he took out the flowers that Song Yubai had placed in the trunk of the car and walked into the house holding the flowers.

When Butler Qi opened the door for him, he saw him and said with a smile, "The chairman is back, and his wife is drinking tea in the living room."

Gu Yunchi nodded slightly, holding the flowers and went to the living room, where he found everyone was there.

When Gu Meichan saw the flowers in Gu Yunchi's hand, she shouted, "Oh my, someone bought some flowers to apologize."

Lan Yu, who was sitting next to Gu Meichan, raised her eyelids and looked at Gu Yunchi walking towards her.

Gu Meichan wisely moved away and asked, "What are those reporters doing? Why are they writing nonsense?"

Gu Yunchi handed the flowers to Lan Yu and sat down beside her.

His father Gu Qinghui also asked: "Yes, Yunchi, what's wrong with those reporters? Such questions shouldn't arise."

Gu Yunchi was silent for a moment and replied, "Uncle Huang asked them to write it that way."

Zhang Yulan's eyes suddenly widened. "Uncle Huang? Are you talking about Huang Hongtao?"

Gu Qinghui wondered: "Why did he do that?"

Gu Yunchi was helpless: "He thought that portraying me as a single young talent would attract more attention."

Zhang Yulan curled her lips and said, "I think Huang Hongtao is getting senile. You are not a star, so who are you trying to attract? Just do your business well. People in the business world don't care whether you are married or not."

Gu Qinghui agreed. "Exactly. I think Huang Hongtao can be a bit of a prankster sometimes. He knows that Yuyu is pregnant, but he's doing this to provoke her."

Zhang Yulan glanced at Lan Yu and asked Gu Yunchi: "Yunchi, have you spoken to your father-in-law to explain this matter? Don't let your in-laws misunderstand. We are all in business and our circle is not big."

Gu Yunchi looked at Lan Yu, held her hand, and replied to his grandmother: "Well, grandma, I talked to my father-in-law, and after issuing the announcement, I also notified him to go and see. I was careless this time."

"I have punished the people in the Propaganda Department and made it clear to Uncle Huang, asking him not to do this kind of thing behind my back in the future."

Gu Meichan's eyes were rolling, "Why do I feel like Huang Hongtao is deliberately causing trouble? Yun Chi, you'd better be careful and don't trust Huang Hongtao too much."

Zhang Yulan raised her eyebrows. "In the business world, there are no permanent friends. Once there is a conflict of interest, they will become enemies. Yun Chi, Meichan is right. Although Huang Hongtao is a supporter of your grandfather,"

"But I also stabbed your grandfather in the back, so you'd better be careful."

Gu Yunchi was surprised. "Uncle Huang backstabbed Grandpa? When did it happen?"

Zhang Yulan frowned and thought for a while, "It should be when you were in college. He found a piece of land that he wanted to develop. Your grandfather sent someone to investigate and found that there was a dispute over the land, so he refused him."

"As a result, he secretly signed a contract with someone without your grandfather's knowledge. After paying a deposit of 10 million yuan, the other party ran away. After the incident, the police came to the company and your grandfather found out. He was almost mad at him to death."

"What happened next?" Gu Meichan asked.

Gu Qinghui took over the conversation and said, "Later, the police found the scammer and recovered the money, and the matter was settled."

Gu Yunchi's face was heavy, thinking about how he had rejected a new project proposal by Huang Hongtao some time ago.

Could it be that Huang Hongtao was holding a grudge against him and deliberately taking revenge on him?

Zhang Yulan looked at her grandson and said, "Yun Chi, remember, everyone is selfish, including me and your father. Everyone has selfish desires. They were friends yesterday, but may become enemies tomorrow because of conflicts of interest."

"It's not just Huang Hongtao, other shareholders too. You have to be careful and cautious."

Gu Yunchi: "Okay, grandma, I'll take note of it. I'll be careful."

Zhang Yulan looked at Lan Yu and said, "Fortunately, you married a sensible wife who doesn't bother with you. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are also sensible people. They are your supporters. Don't let them down."

"In the future, spend more time with your father-in-law and ask him for advice on business matters. He has been in business for so many years and has met more people than you, and he will definitely not harm you."

Gu Yunchi nodded, "Okay, grandma, I understand."

At this time, in a private restaurant in the suburbs of the city.

Tian Zhuang was led by the proprietress to the door of a private room. He knocked twice, turned the doorknob and went in.

The person sitting inside looked up at him and said, "Come on, sit down."

Tianzhuang sat down opposite the man and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I was stuck in traffic on the way here."

Huang Hongtao was silent for a moment and said, "Well, let's talk while we eat."

Tianzhuang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Huang Hongtao took a sip of wine, raised his eyelids and glanced at the farm.

He said casually, "Be careful in the next period of time. Gu Yunchi is more difficult to deal with than his grandfather. If he sets his eyes on you, you will be in trouble. I may not be able to protect you. Also, don't let him know about our relationship."
