Chapter 20: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (20)

After leaving in anger, Gu Quan was relieved.

Wen Wan immediately called Assistant Chen to inform him of the situation and praised herself for her composure and intelligence in the face of danger.

Assistant Chen seemed to have known all along, telling her not to worry, so Wen Wan simply... lay down.

Because Gu Ci's team was so amazing, even with Wen Wan, a domineering CEO who accomplished nothing, the Gu family business continued to develop steadily as always.

Surprisingly, Gu Quan hasn't bothered her. It seems he's been working on some major international project lately.

Wen Wan often took her two children out to play, and her relationship with them was quickly repaired.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for the male protagonist, Gu Ci, to return after suffering.

Once the beautifully raised twins are returned, she can retire gracefully.

...

On the other side...

Airport.

Assistant Chen, wearing a mask, was waiting for someone at the arrival gate.

Soon, Assistant Chen picked up President Gu, who was traveling on a private jet. There was a man supporting President Gu, and Assistant Chen quickly took the suitcase from the man's hand. "President Gu, your eyes are still not healed, why are you back?"

Even with sunglasses on, you could still see the bandage wrapped around Mr. Gu's eyes. This was the reason why Mr. Gu hadn't returned after being rescued. Although he survived, his eyes were severely injured, and he had been receiving treatment abroad.

Gu Ci: "Let's go to Lanting's villa first."

Assistant Chen had already had the villa cleaned, and Gu Ci, leaning on his guide cane, was helped to sit on the sofa.

"Gu Quan has started making contact with people over there?"

Assistant Chen: "Yes, M·P Company has already sent people to make business contact with Gu Quan, so Mr. Gu, your accident at that time should also have involved M·P Company."

M·P Company is a technology company in the country of flowers. It has always been ambitious and wants to dominate the global education chip market. When it learned that Gu's family had developed the most advanced chip technology, it sought cooperation, but was rejected by Gu Ci. Who would have thought that Gu Quan, who had always been suppressed by Gu Ci and was relatively honest, would actually collude with them.

Furthermore, they deliberately staged an accidental fall into the sea. Assistant Chen's location monitoring detected the information immediately, so he sent people to rescue and transfer President Gu before the search and rescue team arrived.

Afterwards, President Gu decided to play along. On one hand, it was to treat his eye injury, and on the other hand, it was to release the news of his death. Gu Quan would then be busy trying to take control of the Gu family business, and the forces behind it would also be eager to show themselves.

Gu Ci always preferred to do things he was confident about.

"Then prepare to close the net."

"yes."

Gu Quan could never have imagined that every step he took was part of President Gu's plan. The more excited he was now, the more it was just a prelude to the end.

"Mr. Gu, now that you're back, would you like to go home and visit your family?" Assistant Chen asked.

Gu Ci frowned as he thought of the person at home. "Not for now. You continue to monitor Qin Sisi's every move, and protect Gu Xuan and Gu Jiao. Don't give Gu Quan a chance to lay a hand on them."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

After thinking for a moment, Assistant Chen decided to say something good about Madam Gu. "Mr. Gu, Madam Gu has really changed a lot. She takes good care of the young master and young lady. She is also very smart. She saw through the conspiracy of Gu Quan and his wife and gave us a legitimate reason to keep the Gu family in check while you were away."

Gu Ci knew.

Assistant Chen would send him the home surveillance footage every day. He was blind, but he could hear.

Although the two were husband and wife, they had signed a contract from the beginning, under which Qin Sisi was only required to take care of his two children.

As for what Qin Sisi does outside or who she flirts with, he doesn't care as long as she doesn't bring it in front of him.

But from some point onward, Qin Sisi changed.

She blurted out all sorts of intimate terms that crossed the line, such as "Aci," "My Aci," and "My Beloved Aci," as if she loved him to death—something the Qin Sisi of the past would never have done.

From what he knew, if he died, Qin Sisi's decision to take 100 million yuan from the company and elope with Chen Tao would be reasonable in Gu Ci's eyes.

The Qin Sisi of today felt unfamiliar to Gu Ci, and listening to the home security camera footage every day had become a regular habit for him lately.

"It is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."
