In fact, Chen Xiangrong had been wanting to ask Gu Yunyang this question for the past few days.
On the one hand, she hadn't made up her mind. Her father used code words and the same set of words she had agreed upon beforehand when it came to family matters.
The purpose was to keep it a secret from outsiders.
After thinking it over, Chen Xiangrong didn't say a word, not even to Han Xue and Yang Shengnan who came in and out with her.
People can share some secrets, but some secrets are destined to be known only to themselves and the people they trust most.
If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life.
Chen Xiangrong wasn't like this before; she wouldn't overthink things.
But now, Chen Xiangrong is forced to become more shrewd and able to keep the secret.
Are we being watched?
Gu Yunyang understood. Sure enough, after so long, there was still no movement from Old Chen's side. They must be being watched.
Although Old Chen's family has handed over some of their assets, they must still be hiding a lot more.
He doesn't need to say more about this; no matter what Old Chen says, no one will believe that he can donate all of his family's wealth.
Even if the amount he donated was huge, people would still have doubts.
Because people are inherently selfish, and they tend to judge others by their own standards, they would act the same way in such situations.
People will wonder what they would do at home.
Chen Xiangrong opened her misty eyes and asked, "Brother Gu, what do you think my family should do? What should we do?"
This young lady is starting to show some acting skills.
Gu Yunyang knew perfectly well that Chen Xiangrong's behavior stemmed from her genuine concern for her parents and Old Chen.
On the other hand, she did want to appear weaker.
Almost every man has some degree of male chauvinism.
When faced with a vulnerable woman, men are more likely to show mercy.
In most cases, they will provide some convenience.
In such a short time, Chen Xiangrong has already changed somewhat.
Indeed, one is influenced by one's surroundings.
Gu Yunyang never thought that being a little cunning was a bad thing, as long as you don't try to seize what doesn't belong to you, make things difficult for others, or try to take what belongs to others and not to you from their hands or pockets.
Gu Yunyang himself is also cunning, as long as it is used to protect himself and his family.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Chen Xiangrong's little scheme was still quite obvious.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. The timing isn't particularly difficult right now, and your father definitely has his own plans; he's not going to just sit here and wait to die."
Old Chen also came from that chaotic era; he just never imagined things would get this bad.
After all, the Chen family was on the winning side back then.
Who knew that reality would be so harsh on these national capitalists?
Even if they handed over most of their publicly known assets, they still could not escape.
But that point hasn't been reached yet, so it's not too dangerous.
Gu Yunyang didn't need to worry too much; the other party was able to guarantee his safety and protect his property even in that era.
Now that we know the situation, is there still no way to resolve it?
It's simply a matter of deliberation and weighing how to proceed.
What Gu Yunyang didn't say was that Lao Chen was still weighing what he should give up.
It's simply a matter of weighing the price one has to pay to shed one's skin.
Gu Yunyang offered a few words of comfort: "Don't worry too much. You should believe in your father's abilities and you should know them."
What you need to do now is not panic, and not do anything extra. You need to know that sometimes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Do you understand?
