Gu Bin has always known what kind of existence he is in front of the children, but at this moment he only feels sad.
He wanted to take a closer look at the two babies, but it was obviously impossible. Even just seeing them was extremely difficult.
Finally, his gaze fell on his son. Gu Bin tremblingly took up his notebook and wrote a few words.
Maybe it's because I'm too old, or maybe I'm really sick, but every word I write is crooked.
"Xiuyuan, are you okay?"
"Very good." He said indifferently.
Gu Bin was in tears, his eyes filled with heartache. At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Several of the Gu family's business partners and old close friends walked in.
She seemed a little surprised by the bustle in the ward, and even more surprised that Gu Xiuyuan was there too.
Several elders who were on good terms with him looked at Gu Bin's pitiful appearance and blamed Gu Xiuyuan, but Gu Bin cried even more sadly after hearing this.
'Xiuyuan, Daddy misses you'
These few words instantly made him look more tragic and aggrieved, and put Gu Xiuyuan in an unfilial position.
Several old friends looked at Gu Xiuyuan with even uglier expressions.
There have been a lot of rumors about Gu Xiuyuan's "glorious deeds" recently, but most of them say that he only cares about women and doesn't care about his relatives' lives.
These three people ignored their father and when he was sick several times, it was his son who lived outside who took care of him by his bedside.
"The one raised by our side is not as caring as the one outside. He is worthy of being Xia Mei's son." Someone said in a neither loud nor low voice, as if he was not shy at all.
"Old Gu, don't be sad." A friend comforted him, "Luckily, you still have Xiuwen."
"Xiu Wen, thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Yes, yes! The Gu family is grateful to you."
Everyone was talking at once.
For example, the Gu family is in Gu Xiuwen's hands, and those who come to visit also surround Gu Xiuwen, and then ask about Gu Bin's situation, which perfectly demonstrates the face of a fence-sitter.
"Xiuyuan's back!" One of them came forward. "How are you? Is your leg okay?"
He asked, but the look he gave her was full of mockery.
"Don't be sad, being alive is the most important thing." He glanced at Gu Bin, as if to say that Gu Xiuyuan would end up like his mother. "Alas, maybe it's fate."
Ji Shu said in a bad tone, but Gu Xiuyuan held her hand.
Seeing Ji Shuyu's angry face, the man adjusted his glasses and calmed down a bit.
After all, this was the daughter of the Huo family, and if they made her unhappy, they would suffer the consequences if the Huo family found out.
He smiled apologetically and muttered before leaving, "How could he have fallen to such a state that he had to rely on a woman?"
Ji Shuyu was angry.
There were a few familiar faces among them. She still remembered how they tried to please Gu Xiuyuan, but now they were stepping on Gu Xiuyuan's head.
What puzzled her even more was Gu Xiuyuan's reaction. He just...remained silent?
Gu Xiuyuan watched the group's performance, then looked at the little woman who was genuinely angry.
"Actually, he's not wrong." He murmured, "If I really want to lean on you, will you let me lean on you?"
Ji Shuyu felt that she was getting angry, while Gu Xiuyuan stood up.
"Looking at the situation, your husband might really lose everything. Do you want to be a designer and support me?"
"Oh--"
Ji Shuyu made a sound and glared at him, causing Gu Xiuyuan to laugh softly.
Gu Xiuwen was greeting relatives and friends who came to visit him, and it seemed that everyone only saw him.
Some people would come over to say hello to Gu Xiuyuan due to their past friendship, but it was just perfunctory. Some passers-by would even come over to mock him.
After all, they don't need to flatter a former president who has lost control.
Gu Xiuwen watched from the side, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
Gu Xiuyuan, it’s not three days ago anymore. Do you think you can still turn everything around?
Now, let me show you what reality is.
…
Chairman Gu's illness caused turmoil in the stock market. The company had some problems a few days ago, and some people were uneasy for a while.
Several old directors came to ask Gu Xiuyuan indirectly about his opinion, asking him whether he would like to return to the company, and reminded him that if he was interested, it would be better to prepare in advance.
Gu Xiuyuan never asked about the company in the past three days, which meant that he wanted to let it go completely.
When the stock market situation was not optimistic, everyone put the blame on Gu Bin, and Gu Bin's scandal was brought up again.
At the same time, someone dug up the fact that Xia Mei had set fire to the company, which had caused the crisis. However, at that time, Gu Xiuyuan resigned from his position and abandoned the mess. For a time, the board of directors had deep complaints about the "three of them".
Obviously, even if they fight, they have no chance of winning.
Several major shareholders asked openly about the relationship between Gu Xiuyuan and Ji Shuyu.
After all, with the support of the Huo family, many problems are no longer problems.
If they could rely on the Huo family, they would naturally be willing to stand on his side, but Gu Xiuyuan just casually brushed it off.
Several shareholders were helpless and finally said that they would wait until the Zhouqing Festival.
Ji Shuyu couldn't quite see through Gu Xiuyuan's thoughts.
"What do you think about the situation with the company?" Ji Shuyu asked, "They are making such a fuss..."
"You said it yourself, they're just making a fuss." Gu Xiuyuan laughed, "If they're not making a fuss, then it's fun to watch."
Gu Xiuyuan was concentrating on preparing lunch for the two babies, as if their conversation was just casual chatting, and it seemed as if he was not worried at all about the Gu family's affairs.
"So, are you not here, or do you have other plans?"
What she was puzzled about was the whereabouts of the Secretary.
It was just a provocation from Gu Xiuwen and those shareholders, but he didn't just listen to them?
"These teeth aren't in good condition, they're only suitable for gigolos." He said nonchalantly, "It depends on whether there's such an opportunity."
Ji Shu rolled her eyes in anger and ignored him.
"I really think that planning something is nothing." Gu Xiuyuan looked extremely Buddhist at this moment.
"But even if they want to do something, doesn't it require a resolution from the shareholders' meeting?" Ji Shuyu said.
"Do you think there is a difference?" Gu Xiuyuan asked with a smile.
The crisis that befell him was caused by the "family of three." The outcome is not obvious when comparing the instigator and the "hero" who saved him from danger.
"So, why did you say you wanted me to come back earlier?"
"Can you accompany me to the celebration dinner?" He said, holding her hand, then looked at his injured leg. "Look at me, I'm so strong-willed, it's so pitiful to be alone."
"I'm busy!" Ji Shuyu was annoyed by his dishonesty.
"I think Gu Xiuwen must want you and me to witness his glorious moment."
He said 'you and me' because of Gu Xiuwen's intention.
He was invited to show off his achievements, and Xiaoyu... was invited to prove his status.
At this moment, Ji Shuyu was certain that he had his own plans.
"Xiuyuan, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's a gift for Mr. Gu."
Let Gu Xiuwen pay the price, let him taste the taste of disgrace...
