Chapter 60 Incident
The door of the villa between the mountains and rivers was closed, and the moonlight was like water, covering the towering buildings.
The security guard on night shift was woken up by a "bang" in the middle of the night. He quickly sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the surveillance camera carefully with his eyes fixed on the screen. He did not find any suspicious people breaking in. He was still worried, so he opened the door of the duty room and came out. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard another "bang", which came from the study on the second floor.
The security guard looked up, and suddenly, an unidentified object was thrown out from the study window, forming a shining parabola and heading straight for his head. The security guard instinctively shrank his head to avoid it, only to see the object fall on the hard steps and shattered into pieces.
He was about to ask who was so bold, but soon he heard the faint noise coming from the study upstairs. He breathed a sigh of relief. The father and son were arguing again, and it seemed very intense.
It’s no wonder that Young Master Gu is making a big move this time. The screen is full of hot news searches, and it’s hard not to know. But Young Master Gu had a girlfriend before, and the boss didn’t care much.
The security guard thought about it, yawned as if nothing had happened, rubbed his eyes, and went back to the duty room to continue sleeping.
He doesn't understand the world of rich people, nor does he want to understand it.
"You're messing around. I've told you countless times that you can play with women if you want, but you can't delay serious matters. Now look, everyone is calling me and asking me about it, saying that the young master doesn't care about power but beauty, and what else? He bought a company just to make a beautiful woman smile. Ha, I was wondering why you thought of buying a shabby little company? It turned out to be all for a woman. You treat assets as a joke, what a jerk."
In the study, Gu Zhicheng pointed at Gu Ningwei's nose and yelled angrily. A teacup had already fallen to the ground, leaving fragments all over the floor.
"Let them say whatever they want. They all want to laugh at us anyway." Gu Ningwei sneered.
"Let them say what they want? You say that so easily. You know they're laughing at us. If you know how serious this is, why don't you just behave yourself? At this critical moment, you've caused so much trouble. Have you seen what this news and this self-media are saying?"
Yes, Gu Ningwei and Han Que can be seen in short videos, Weibo, and anywhere where self-media can speak.
Although the faces of both people were blurred and the secretly taken or intercepted photos were blurry, the titles were all sensational.
"Prince Chengguang is suspected of keeping a mistress, and his relationship with the female painter may be changing!"
"Knowing three things, the gold digger is morally corrupt and throws herself into the arms of the money man!"
"His girlfriend was ignored, Young Master Gu secretly met with his lover, and his underground love affair was exposed!"
"The canary is delusional about rising to power, but the scandal hype can't hide the capital's failure."
The last article is an in-depth analysis report from "Mingjing Finance". It uses the style of Spring and Autumn to implicitly point out that the reason why Gu Ningwei acquired an unknown biological company and changed its name to "Zhening Biology" was because he was influenced by a certain woman, and that woman was the canary he later kept; the reason why the Gu Group spread rumors to hype the relationship between Gu Ningwei and the female painter was to show the public that Gu had formed a close strategic partnership with He, and climbed onto a big tree with strong financial resources and deep roots and lush leaves, and they would prosper and suffer together.
The exposure of Gu Ningwei's secret love affair exposed the lie of the arranged marriage, making the Chengguang Group, which was already in financial trouble, even worse.
This sarcastic financial analysis article made Gu Zhiguang furious. He endured for a long time before he personally went to Gu Ningwei to vent his anger, but he couldn't help but complain to Gu Zhicheng.
"Brother, I've worked so hard and put so much thought into pushing our stock price up. Mr. He also promised to inject capital into us soon. Now that this Ah Wei incident has come to light, where will He Lian put his face? And where will the He family put their face? He Zhenzhong has already called me, and they need to reconsider the funding issue."
"Brother, I don't say anything about Ah Wei's playfulness on weekdays, but we can't let him act recklessly at this time."
Gu Zhicheng had a hot temper to begin with, and this was exposed. When Gu Ningwei came back at night, he was called into the study and scolded.
"You bastard, I think you've been bewitched by a vixen. Get this over with right now."
"Ended? How ended?" Gu Ningwei sneered.
"Do you need me to teach you how to end it? If you can play with women, you should also be able to clean up after yourself." Gu Zhicheng was furious. "It's just a matter of paying a few bucks, what else do you want?"
"I won't finish it." Gu Ningwei said briefly with a cold expression.
"You are still rebelling." Gu Zhicheng scolded, reaching out to grab things on the table. The two teacups were already smashed, and he only got the documents on the table. He smashed them towards Gu Ningwei's face, and the papers flew and landed on Gu Ningwei.
"You won't settle it? Do you know what kind of situation Chengguang is in now? Do you know how hard the bank is asking for repayment? You know that next month is the deadline for handing over the houses. If you can't hand over the houses by then, tens of thousands of people will come to the group's door to make trouble. Tell me now, are you still a member of the Gu family? Are you my son?" Gu Zhicheng pounded the table again and again, his eyes bloodshot.
He is not like Gu Zhiguang. He is in charge of the operation of the real estate company, which is a real matter that needs to be dealt with urgently.
"I am your son, but what do these things have to do with my relationship? If I don't have this relationship, the funding problem will be solved? Cheng Guang will not have--" Before Ning Wei could finish his words, Gu Zhicheng slapped him in the face.
After the fight, both of them were stunned.
This was the first time Gu Ningwei was beaten after he turned sixteen. Before he was sixteen, he had never lived with Gu Zhicheng.
Gu Ningwei's face was burning, his body was straight and motionless. After a moment of silence, he slowed down his voice and said, "Dad, I have already agreed to a business marriage with the He family. What else do you want from me?"
However, when Han arrived at the gate of his own yard, he realized something was wrong. The wooden door, which was mottled with peeling paint and dilapidated, was ajar. There were several people standing outside, peeping in, whispering and watching.
She frowned and squeezed past those people. Just as she was about to close the wooden door, someone blocked her with their arm. "Hey, don't close the door. We are looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" she asked in a muffled voice, her voice nasal because she was wearing a mask.
"Find Han Que." One of them said.
"No." Han Que refused coldly and tried to close the door again. Unexpectedly, several people looked her up and down, suddenly realized something, and swarmed over her. They surrounded her and asked, "You are Han Que? Don't close the door. We are reporters from Financial Weekly. Can you tell us what's going on?"
"Are you really the secret lover of the Crown Prince of the Gu family? Does the exposure of your secret relationship affect you?"
"Did you know that Gu Ningwei has a girlfriend and is still dating him?"
"Did Gu Ningwei really acquire your company because of you?"
Some people were blocking the door and chattering, while others were taking photos and videos with their phones. Han was anxious. She said nothing but a sullen face, "Sorry, this is a private residence. Visitors are not allowed."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut, leaned against it, closed her eyes, and took a long breath. When she opened her eyes again, she was so scared that she almost screamed.
Liu Suping was standing in the yard, staring at her with a faint look in her eyes. The setting sun shone brightly on her pale face, making her shadow very long.
Han was panicking, but he still had a forced smile on his face: "Mom, why are you standing here? Didn't you say you have a headache? Why don't you go back to your room and lie down."
"You..." Liu Suping pointed at her, then pointed outside the door, her face pale and her lips trembling. "Who are they? What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing serious, they are just a bunch of boring people." Han shook his head.
She walked closer and stretched out her arms, wanting to support Liu Suping, but before she could touch her body, she dodged, "Don't touch me!"
Liu Suping screamed in a sharp voice, "Don't touch me, you shameless person, take your dirty hands away, don't touch me."
Liu Suping stared at her with her sunken eyes, hugged herself tightly with her hands, and her body trembled violently.
Han Que's body was also shaking and her knees were weak. She tried to get close to her mother and tried to support her. "Mom, Mom..." She called her softly, not daring to speak loudly for fear of scaring Liu Suping.
"Mom, listen to me, don't listen to those people, they are all spreading rumors. Listen to me..." Han Que's eyes were filled with tears. He walked towards her tremblingly and hugged her mother's frail body.
"Rumors?" Liu Suping stared at her with wide eyes, her expression panicked and frightened. "Are you being slandered?"
"Yes, it's all rumors!" Han said. At this point, she would never admit it in front of Liu Suping.
"Spread rumors, spread rumors..." Liu Suping repeated these two words tremblingly. She tightly grasped Han Que with an icy grip, her face pale and her eyes lost: "Han Que, Que'er..."
"Mom, I'm here, I'm here!" Han Que said as he tried to help her into the room. Grandma Jiang came out from the inner room, stood on the threshold, and looked at the mother and daughter coldly.
Han half-carried and half-supported Liu Suping as they staggered into the house. When they reached the threshold of the door, she squatted down carefully and tried to lift Liu Suping's feet, but Liu Suping stood still. Her thin body was as stubborn but strong as a dead branch.
"Then tell me, what is going on?" Liu Suping asked.
"Mom, let's go into the room and talk. I'll tell you once we get in." Han coaxed her. She was afraid that someone else might break in.
"You must tell me the truth and not lie to me."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth and never lie."
"You swear, you swear in your father's name." Liu Suping's eyes suddenly ignited with flames, becoming dazzling and bright, and a thin layer of blush appeared on her pale face.
Han was stunned. She looked at Liu Suping, her throat blocked and she couldn't say a word.
"Swear, swear!" Liu Suping stared into her eyes, looking at her expectantly. Seeing that Han didn't say anything, she smiled triumphantly and sneered, "You don't dare to swear, do you? What those people said is true, right?"
"mom……"
"Don't call me mom." Liu Suping's face suddenly turned red. She said sternly, "I don't have a daughter as shameless as you."
"Mom, it's not like that..." Han said halfway, but suddenly felt that he had no way to defend himself, so he simply kept silent.
"Han Que, I've been on guard against you because I'm afraid you'll go astray. If a woman takes one wrong step in her life, everything will be ruined." Liu Suping was heartbroken.
Han didn't dare to say anything. Liu Suping suddenly turned pale, covered her throat with her hands, breathed rapidly, her legs softened, and her body slowly fell down.
