"The Xu family's businesses span the entire coastal area and even the southern province, covering everything from real estate to tourism and the cultural industry. Our Gu family is now following the same path."
"Once I achieve my goal and take over the Xu family, I will be able to be the head of the Gu family. At that time, no one will be able to point their finger at me and say that I am just a woman who can only rely on men for a living."
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes.
I'm wondering whether I should believe what Gu Nianci said. My subconscious tells me that what she said is true, but my understanding of her and my familiarity with the Gu family makes me somewhat skeptical.
However, one thing is certain.
Aside from her family, Gu Nianci is indeed very ambitious.
But I didn't interrupt her, and just kept smoking, one cigarette after another.
Gu Nianci continued, "Actually, I never investigated you. On the day Xu Yan returned to the country, my first thought was to divorce you and part ways amicably. After all, you were no longer of any use to me after Xu Yan came back, and since you are not a biological child of the Xu family, our marriage should come to an end."
"But I didn't expect you to be so good at hiding it."
"When Xu Yan gave me those materials, even after seeing them with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that they could have been made by someone like you who spends almost all day at home studying cooking and thinking about how to please me."
"So I found Lin Qingxue."
Upon hearing the name Lin Qingxue, I abruptly turned to Gu Nianci, interrupting her as she was about to continue, and frowned as I asked, "Are you telling me all this now to humiliate me one last time before you leave?"
"Or are you trying to play the emotional card?"
"You want me to agree to continue working with you?"
“If that’s the case, there’s no need for that. I don’t want to hear it, and I don’t want to know what you and Gu Nianci said that made her so decisive in betraying me.”
"If I said that I didn't say anything, but just appeared in front of her, and she gave me everything, would you believe me?" Gu Nianci looked at me sarcastically.
"Impossible!" I retorted firmly. "If I owe her nothing, she has no reason to betray me!"
“That’s right!” Gu Nianci nodded. “From what I know, you haven’t wronged her at all. In fact, you’ve done her a great favor, but just…”
She's fallen in love with you!
...
When I left the hotel, I had only one thought.
I was so helpless that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I didn't sleep with Gu Nianci, and we didn't reconcile. My helplessness comes from Lin Qingxue.
From the moment I met Lin Qingxue, to the moment I treated her as the person I trusted most, entrusting her with almost everything important unconditionally, I truly considered her as family.
Family members who are a hundred times closer than the Xu family.
But, as Gu Nianci had said, she fell in love with me.
She didn't want to see me suffer because of Gu Nianci, because she knew everything about me and Gu Nianci. In the daily life I spent with her at the company, she had heard me sigh more than once and seen me heartbroken more than once.
indeed.
In my spare time, I told Lin Qingxue about my relationship with Gu Nianci more than once.
She always comforted me, but now that I think about it, beneath her outward calm, she was silently harboring other emotions.
She felt that she would be better off without Gu Nianci.
She felt that as long as I completely broke ties with Gu Nianci, I would be able to live a happier life.
That's why she didn't hesitate to betray!
"Lin Qingxue".
"Now, what am I supposed to do?"
