Volume 1, Chapter 96: Hidden Diseases of Old Age
The Zhu mother in front of him was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
She knew very well that as long as Zhu Sheng had that recording in his hands, it would be like a time bomb that could explode at any time.
From the moment she appeared on the show, the Zhu family's reputation was in constant danger of collapse.
I thought that by speaking for Zhu Sheng, I could get the two of them to temporarily put aside their past conflicts and unite to deal with Gu Chiye.
But she didn't expect that Zhu's mother's flattery would backfire.
Not only did this damn girl not appreciate it, she also dragged the Zhu family into the water.
Zhu's mother couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
Anyway, this development was also within Mr. Yin's expectations.
She went on this show with the mentality of succeeding or dying.
Even if the reputation of the Zhu family is sacrificed, as long as the Yin family can get the business, the development of the Zhu family in the next few years will certainly not be underestimated.
Moreover, while she was talking on the show, the public relations and financial teams of those families behind her had probably already taken action.
This time, a few companies took advantage of the scandal on the show to short sell Gu's stock.
When the Gu Group's stock price plummets and the company's market value shrinks, Mr. Gu will have reason to launch a military operation to hold him accountable.
He secretly instructed several board elders to force Gu Chiye to step down from his position of power on the charge of serious dereliction of duty.
As long as Gu Chiye loses his real power, it will be easy to deal with Zhu Sheng.
By then, it will not be too late to avenge the shame incurred during this period.
A few months of online abuse, and at least a few years of rapid growth in the company's performance.
She still knows what is important and what is not.
Seeing Mrs. Zhu's shameless look, people both at the scene and in the live broadcast room were a little puzzled.
[This Madam Zhu is so shameless that she is thicker than a city wall. It seems that the scandals of the Zhu family are not important, and only what Gu Chiye did is important? ]
[Who are you, big sister? We live in a society ruled by law. Even biological parents cannot sell their children so casually. You want to write off all that with a simple misunderstanding. Do you think everyone is so easy to fool?]
[This show really made me disenchanted with the so-called wealthy families. Rich people are really crazy. Zhu Sheng's life is probably worse than that of ordinary people. I have never seen a father who is addicted to selling his daughter.]
[How shameless of you to come on this show and seek justice. 】
[How dare this woman come and interfere in Zhu Sheng's marriage? Gu Chiye did not do a good job, but compared with the Zhu family, he is much more normal.]
These confusing actions of Zhu's mother not only made the audience in the live broadcast room angry, but also aroused their curiosity.
This conversation was widely circulated on the Internet and soon attracted some angry netizens to come and watch.
Right now, the popularity of the live broadcast room is skyrocketing, and everyone is waiting to see how this episode will end.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on her, Zhu's mother's face regained a hint of color.
She put on a brave face and began to speak earnestly to the camera.
"Zhu Sheng, even though you keep saying that we don't care about you, your father and I are actually very concerned about your marriage.
We recently received some... bad news, and were just trying to find time to talk to you, but because of the previous misunderstanding, you refused to go home, so we quickly contacted the program team and came here specifically to prevent you from going astray again. "
Speaking of this, a false smile appeared on Zhu's mother's face.
"Fortunately, you are still clear-headed and still insist on getting a divorce.
But I'm still worried, after all, you were too obsessed with Gu Chiye before. So, today I have to expose something in public to make you completely give up the idea of reconciliation. "
Zhu Sheng was really disgusted by her mother's hypocritical attitude.
At the same time, she realized that Zhu's mother's target of this trip was not herself.
It was obvious that she stayed here because of Gu Chiye.
He must have some serious evidence in his hand and wants to make it public through the show.
Zhu Sheng glanced at Gu Chiye with his peripheral vision and saw that he had a frown on his face, as if he was also wondering what Zhu's mother was planning.
Seeing Zhu's mother's smug look, Zhu Sheng had a bad feeling.
Thinking that Gu Chiye's previous call of "comrade" was quite nice, he couldn't help but stop Zhu's mother.
"You don't have to be mysterious. No matter what happens, I have no plans to remarry.
But you, in my eyes, are a murderer thousands of times more vicious than Gu Chiye. I won't believe a single word you say!"
Zhu's mother didn't care about Zhu Sheng's protest because it was her important performance time next.
She straightened her appearance a little and went straight into the questioning phase.
"Boss Gu, now that I am still considered your mother-in-law, there is one thing I need to ask you clearly. When you proposed the marriage, did you deliberately hide something bad from us?"
After hearing this, Gu Chiye remained silent, but his expression was obviously not so good.
Zhu Sheng was somewhat puzzled, and interrupted impatiently with a frown on his face.
"What evil ideas are you planning again? This is a business marriage, so it's only natural that I don't tell you some things. You've taken so many benefits from the Gu family over the years, and now you're here to settle scores with me."
Zhu's mother ignored Zhu Sheng's words and continued to put pressure on Gu Chiye.
"Boss Gu, think carefully. That incident had a huge impact on you. If we had known about it earlier, we would never have agreed to this marriage."
"That's not necessarily true. As long as there are benefits, even if I marry a monkey, I think you will enjoy it."
Zhu Sheng's constant interruptions made Zhu's mother very annoyed. She secretly cursed this illegitimate daughter for being a troublemaker and said that staying here would only affect her acting skills.
Although she really didn't care about the marriage of her illegitimate daughter, in order to make the show look good, she had to suppress the urge to roll her eyes and continue to pretend to be desperately seeking justice.
It seems that she is not a vicious stepmother who has abused her illegitimate daughter for many years, but a great mother who is willing to charge into the battlefield for her daughter even if she is not understood by others.
Zhu's mother walked forward, pointed at Gu Chiye, and cried.
"Boss Gu, are you going to say something? Are you so guilty that you can't even speak after I asked you a question?
No wonder. I guess no parents in this world would be willing to marry their daughter to someone like you.
Such an important matter, yet you, as our relative and Zhu Sheng's husband, didn't mention a word about it during the marriage arrangement, causing us to suffer such a huge loss in vain.
My husband and I are both scared when we think about it now. It's a miracle that Zhu Sheng has been able to get through these three years safely. Now that she has come to terms with it and chosen to divorce, it is a blessing she has earned by accident.
Otherwise, one day we might be sitting at home and receive the sad news of a loved one’s demise!”
