Volume 1 Chapter 69: The Wolves and the Bitch
On this day, several unexpected guests came to the Yin family mansion.
Mr. Yin sat on the armchair, looking at the two distinguished guests in the room leisurely.
One of them was Zhu Qi, the head of the Zhu family. They had not seen each other since the birthday banquet. He was obviously a little uneasy when he was suddenly called over.
The other is Gu Yuansen, the former head of the Gu family and Gu Chiye's father. He was forced to retire from the front line in the past two years and has been active less frequently.
Theoretically, Zhu Qi and Gu Yuansen should be relatives and shouldn't be so unfamiliar with each other.
However, the engagement was a unilateral decision made by Gu Chiye in order to check and balance his father, so the two old men did not communicate much.
In terms of seniority, Mr. Yin is slightly older than both of them.
Judging from their relationship, Zhu Qi has only recently hooked up with Master Yin, while Gu Yuansen has had many opportunities to interact with Master Yin since he was young.
After all, whether then or now, the top wealthy families in Huacheng are the Gu, Yin, and Shen families.
Compared to the panicked Zhu Qi, Gu Yuansen seemed to have vaguely guessed Mr. Yin's intention of calling the two people here, and sat there calmly sipping tea.
After a brief greeting, Mr. Yin spoke slowly.
"I have called you two here today for no big deal. I just want to ask you how elders should educate their children so that they don't act recklessly and cause trouble outside."
Zhu Qi understood immediately that Master Yin was here to call him to account.
With the previous incident at the Zhu residence and the recent incident with Yin Qingyue, Zhu Sheng has offended everyone in the Yin family.
Zhu Qi stood up in a panic and explained: "Master Yin, this is all caused by my good-for-nothing daughter, it has nothing to do with me.
I was so confused at first that I didn't recognize her as my own. Not only did she cause chaos at home, she also caused trouble outside. Sometimes I really wanted to sever my father-daughter relationship with her."
At this point, Zhu Qi beat his chest in grief, as if he wanted to catch Zhu Sheng immediately and make him confess his guilt, but he was powerless.
Mr. Yin made a soothing gesture and spoke softly.
"Zhu Qi, don't worry. I have absolutely no intention of blaming you by asking you to come here today. After all, I know your situation very well.
But out of respect, I still have to inform you in advance, otherwise I will be like those unruly kids who kill you without warning and ruin everyone's relationship."
Zhu Qi understood what Master Yin meant this time, and knew that it had nothing to do with the Zhu family, so he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
He already hated his disobedient daughter. If she hadn't been of some use to him, he would have treated her like a dead person.
Now, if we can teach Zhu Sheng a lesson and get closer to Master Yin at the same time, wouldn't that be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
So Zhu Qi said without hesitation: "As long as Master Yin says one word, even if I have to sacrifice my own family for the sake of justice, I will do it."
"good!"
After hearing this, Mr. Yin smiled, patted Zhu Qi on the shoulder, and said with full energy.
"Don't worry, you won't be treated unfairly after the matter is accomplished. I think the Zhu family will be able to move up a level this year."
"Everything here and there depends on Master Yin's support."
Gu Yuansen has always been serious. Looking at the two people in front of him who were singing the same tune, he did not express his opinion immediately, but asked a question to Mr. Yin.
"Master Yin, I want to know, are you planning to teach Gu Chiye a lesson, or are you trying to take this opportunity to strike back at the Gu family?"
As the former leader of the Gu family, even though he was forced to retreat from the front line in recent years, his words still retain the power of life and death.
The Yin family and the Gu family are both in high positions, and the relationship between the two families is complicated. Compared with the Yin family, which is obviously lower than them, it is obviously not that easy to talk to.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense again.
Zhu Qi was so frightened that he dared not even breathe, watching the two legendary big men in Huacheng fighting each other, fearing that he, a small fry, would be harmed by accident.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Yin poured another cup of tea for Gu Yuansen and spoke politely.
"Yuan Sen, I understand your concerns. After all, Chi Ye is now the backbone of the Gu family.
Even if your relationship as father and son is not harmonious, you will fight behind closed doors and will never allow outsiders to take away any of your benefits.
Let me tell you the truth here. I will only punish Chi Ye slightly, but I will never touch the foundation of the Gu family.
As compensation, the Yin family is willing to help clean up the mess and bear all possible losses. In addition, they will help pave the way for your beloved second son Gu Shiyu, and put an end to the worry that Gu Yuansen has had for so many years!"
Hearing what Master Yin said, Gu Yuansen raised his head abruptly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you serious?"
"Yuan Sen, we have been business partners for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Gu Yuansen chuckled, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and spoke after a while.
"Mr. Yin is right. We need to let those young people who don't know their place see clearly how capable they are."
…
A few days after the charity dinner, Zhu Sheng planned to take a short vacation, but found that he had no time to spare.
She received countless invitations to collaborate.
There were endorsements for sports products, cover shoots for fashion magazines, and the most outrageous thing was that she was also a guest on a romance show.
The couples who came on that show to mediate were all ordinary couples. One of them had a domestic violence problem. They went to the local police station many times but to no avail, and their divorce seemed to be a long way off.
Seeing the unrepentant face of the domestic violence man, Zhu Sheng retaliated against him in his own way. Without saying a word, he went on stage and beat the domestic violence man severely, threatening him to sign a divorce agreement on the spot.
Afterwards, Zhu Sheng gave his private phone number to the wife, saying that if the domestic violence man beat her again, or if he changed his mind during the cool-down period after the divorce, she could call her at any time.
No matter how busy he was, Zhu Sheng would rush over and beat him until he was convinced.
Netizens who watched that episode were very excited and left messages on the message board asking Zhu Sheng to become a permanent guest.
In addition, there is another thing that makes people happy.
The crew that had previously rejected Zhu Sheng due to the cheating scandal, was exposed by netizens as the lead actor was Han Yang and the largest investor was Yin Qingyue, which triggered a collective boycott by netizens.
In order to restore the reputation, the director sent three Weibo posts in the middle of the night to clarify that Han Yang had left the show, Yin Qingyue had also withdrawn from the investment, and the crew would definitely not stand on the side of the cheater.
Not only that, he also made a special trip to Xinghui Entertainment to apologize to Xu Yun and Zhu Sheng, and asked Zhu Sheng to play the leading female role, and generously offered a salary that was several times higher than the market price.
Unfortunately, the belated affection was worthless. Zhu Sheng had not forgotten how they had bossed Shen Jing around before, and he rejected these requests without hesitation.
Within a few days, news of the show's cancellation came, and the entire crew was quickly disbanded.
Even though he was so busy at work, Zhu Sheng still did not forget to go to the gym opened by Shen Yu to exercise every day, and occasionally met Shen Mo a few times.
After the meeting, Zhu Sheng realized that the brother and sister had been worrying about him a lot recently.
Seeing Zhu Sheng being wronged on the red carpet, the two siblings immediately drove to the dinner to support her.
After hearing Zhu Sheng's call in the live broadcast room, they quickly mobilized their connections to find the victim, planning to contact them one by one in order to testify for her.
However, I didn't expect that all of this was taken a step ahead by Gu Chiye.
When this matter was mentioned, Shen Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Speaking of which, Chi Ye and I are childhood friends, but this time he was particularly distant and didn't give us any chance to help.
However, I can understand it. After all, he had completely broken off relations with the Yin family, and he didn't want to be implicated in us, so he wanted to bear it all by himself.
Recently I heard that in order to deal with the open and covert attacks from all sides, he was so busy that he lived in the company almost 24 hours a day.
In addition, she also has to find time to participate in a divorce variety show, which must be very stressful.
If you encounter other problems in the future, you can always ask me and Shen Mo for help. After all, our Shen family is considered to be influential in Huacheng."
Zhu Sheng listened to Shen Yu's words and seemed to be thinking about something. Now she finally pieced together the whole picture of the matter.
Gu Chiye did so many things both in the morning and in the dark, without any intention of seeking credit for it.
But, why did Zhu Sheng want to owe him a favor?
For Zhu Sheng, the best ending for her and Gu Chiye is to escape from this marriage with all her might and never have any contact with each other for the rest of their lives.
