Chapter 70: Why Should I Tell Him About My Property?
As he spoke, Liang Yuhao took the opportunity to hug Gu Mingxia's arm. He only thought of Gu Mingxia as the daughter of the Gu family, but he did not expect that her personal net worth was not just RMB, but US dollars!
Thinking about the pitiful pile of small numbers in his account, Liang Yuhao suddenly felt a surge of sadness. As a fellow rich second generation, look at Gu Mingxia, her personal net worth easily surpasses her father Gu Huaikun's. And look at him, he's just a piece of trash!
"Stop with the nonsense, hurry up and finish reviewing these documents and make a list!"
Gu Mingxia pried open Liang Yuhao's arms that were holding her arm, touched his face, then stuffed the laptop from the back seat into Liang Yuhao's arms, and opened her phone to read a financial forum.
"Hey, you guys are all heartless! You can't even be gentle when you're making me work!"
As Liang Yuhao looked at the screen, he skillfully typed something on Gu Mingxia's computer. Gu Mingxia ignored his complaints and continued to focus on browsing the forum.
"Sister-in-law, you're so rich, why did you take that scumbag's six million during the divorce? It's disgusting!"
While inputting data into the computer, he kept clicking his tongue in amazement. Gu Mingxia was so rich! So rich that he felt an urge to kidnap her! Liang Yuhao suddenly envied Xiao Yan for taking a liking to such a wealthy woman at first sight!
Although feelings cannot be measured by money, no man would mind if his beloved woman was a super rich heiress!
Anyway, Liang Yuhao doesn't mind at all that the woman he finds in the future is a super rich woman. Other men might think that being a kept man is an insult, but Liang Yuhao feels that as long as he can live off her, and his woman is willing to let him, why not live off her with a clear conscience and a clear conscience? Why care about other people's opinions? No one can live his life for him!
"Why shouldn't I want it? He's already transferred his assets, so why can't I take the six million? Besides, wouldn't it be better to donate six million to an orphanage?"
Gu Mingxia carefully preserved what she needed, answering Liang Yuhao's questions somewhat absentmindedly. In her view, if Bai Zixuan could transfer assets, then she could certainly donate all the property she received from him in the divorce to those in need!
Everyone can live without anyone else, but life becomes very difficult without money!
"Yeah, that kind of man is really scum! But sister-in-law, don't you think it's unfair to only get six million after seven years of marriage?"
Liang Yuhao stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Gu Mingxia. He really wanted to know what kind of answer Gu Mingxia had to this question.
Was she unwilling to accept it? Gu Mingxia stopped what she was doing on her phone, looked down at the dazzling array of numbers on the screen, and felt a calmness she had never felt before.
"Do you know, a woman's greatest tragedy isn't a failed marriage or aging, but resentment! Resentment that a marriage she's cherished for so many years ended in failure, resentment that her once beautiful face is fading away day by day! But I didn't! When I got married, I tried my best to protect my marriage, I put in my best efforts, and although the result was somewhat disappointing, I was willing! For those days I devoted to it, for those memories, I automatically filter out the unpleasant ones, keeping the beautiful ones in my heart. That's part of my life, so I have nothing to be resentful about!"
When Gu Mingxia said these words, she felt that she had completely let go of her past emotional entanglement with Bai Zixuan. As long as he didn't bother her in the future, she could let go of the hurt and lies he had caused her in the past, out of consideration for their past as husband and wife.
In that instant of letting go, Gu Mingxia suddenly realized that Xiao Yan's feelings for her were indeed precious. She had met Xiao Yan when she was eight and he was fifteen, and twenty years had passed since then. How many twenty years does one have in a lifetime to have a man treat her with sincerity?
Although she didn't know what Xiao Yan's purpose was in returning this time, how could she know whether Xiao Yan's feelings for her were genuine or feigned if she didn't confront them?
When it comes to feelings, it's truly a matter of personal experience; only the person experiencing it knows whether it's hot or cold. If you keep your heart closed forever, how can you possibly explore Xiao Yan's inner world?
Thinking this way, Gu Mingxia smiled faintly, as if relieved. She turned to look at Liang Yuhao, who seemed lost in thought, and patted his head playfully.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and organize the data!"
"Okay, but sister-in-law, does Xiao Yan know about all your wealth?"
Liang Yuhao couldn't even look at the documents Gu Mingxia had given him. Every time he looked at them, his heart bled. Could she possibly spend all that wealth in her lifetime?
"Why should we tell him? What does this property have to do with him?"
Gu Mingxia naturally believed that property was a person's privacy, so why should it be shared with another person? Moreover, she felt that if Xiao Yan truly loved her, he would love her as always, regardless of whether she had these assets or not!
Therefore, she found Liang Yuhao's question somewhat strange. And her reaction also seemed odd to Liang Yuhao; shouldn't couples be honest and open with each other when they're in a relationship?
Because of their differing views, the carriage fell silent. Gu Mingxia was still looking at the materials she needed on her phone, while Liang Yuhao continued to help her sort out the issues related to the assets.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why is there a Belgian document here? I... I can't understand it!"
"You don't need to add this to the list."
Gu Mingxia frowned, glanced at the Belgian document, and then went back to her work. Liang Yuhao, though curious, simply shrugged and continued organizing his things.
She had originally planned to figure things out before asking Liang Yuhao to help her organize them, but today the Swiss bank called her and said that her rental safe deposit box was about to expire. If needed, they could help her send the contents of the safe deposit box over by express delivery. Gu Mingxia thought it was perfect, as sending it over by express would save her the trouble of flying to Switzerland again.
So when she went out at noon, she got this asset document from the security guard at Maoguang. Since she would have to sort it out sooner or later anyway, she just happened to catch Liang Yuhao for the whole afternoon.
"Okay, finally finished!" Liang Yuhao stretched, loosening his muscles from being idle for so long, placed the laptop on Gu Mingxia's lap, and then stared at her with shining eyes. "Sister Hao, how about we leave it to a friend? Or do you need a helper? Look at me, I'm strong and handsome, a perfect fit!"
"I would never dare to have the eldest son of the Liang family as my follower!"
Gu Mingxia glanced at the asset list that Liang Yuhao had reorganized. It clearly stated the gains and losses of stocks, funds, and gold over the years. As for houses and such, these real estate assets have always been sure to make money, so there was nothing to sort out.
"Sister-in-law, you're making fun of me!"
If he could, he wished he were just an ordinary person, so he wouldn't have to face his mother who pressured him to go on blind dates and get married as soon as possible for the Liang family!
"Alright, let's go back."
Liang Yuhao didn't say anything more. After starting the car, he drove Gu Mingxia back to Maoguang Group.
"How's the model selection going?"
"Chiba is in charge, my sister-in-law asked me to..."
"I need to talk to Yu Hao about something, so I'll have Qianye select models over there. Anyway, I don't expect to find the models Xu Ruixuan wants at the art academy!"
Gu Mingxia interrupted Liang Yuhao. She didn't intend to hide it from Xiao Yan, but felt that now was not the best time. As she said this, she gave Liang Yuhao, who was standing to the side, a wink. Liang Yuhao tactfully left the president's office.
"I met the daughter of the Fu family today. I never expected that the Fu family, known for its fierce and ruthless ways, would raise a daughter as innocent as a little rabbit. I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the Fu family!"
From Fu Ziyu's words, it's clear that the entire Fu family dotes on her, especially Fu Heng, who is known as the "King of Hell" outside. Ironically, this is why Fu Ziyu will become the Fu family's biggest weakness!
"Oh? That's not surprising. Different people have different tastes! Madam Fu vowed to have a daughter, and after having five sons in a row, she finally had this one. Naturally, she dotes on her. It's no wonder she's so naive!"
Xiao Yan walked to Gu Mingxia's side, rested his hand on her desk, looked at the advertising ideas she had come up with for L'Oréal, and then chuckled.
"Do you think the Fu family is as complicated as your Gu family? Although the Fu family is very assertive in the business world, what's commendable is that the Fu brothers are very united. There are never any news reports of them fighting over the family property. Look at them now, the one in charge of the Fu family is the third brother, Fu Heng!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention the Gu family, Gu Mingxia looked up and glared at him unhappily. She then angrily shut down her computer.
"I'm not going home with you today, I'm going to the hospital!"
"I can go with you!"
After get off work, Xiao Yan's shamelessness would reach its peak. He dared to leave the office with Gu Mingxia, only to see Gu Mingxia stop in her tracks, turn around, and turn around with a displeased expression on her face.
"No need, I know where the hospital is!"
After saying that, she left with the clatter of her high heels. Watching Gu Mingxia's slender figure disappear into the distance, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.
"You know where the hospital is, so that could give me a chance to meet my future father-in-law more often!"
Unfortunately, his words were overheard by an employee sitting nearby, who simultaneously let out a low chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? Get back to work, everyone! If you don't finish organizing all the company's documents from the first half of the year, you'll all have to work overtime to finish them!"
Xiao Yan felt that his authority as president had been steadily declining ever since Gu Mingxia came to Maoguang. Now, even employees who were initially too afraid to breathe loudly when they first joined the company could openly laugh at him!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention overtime, the employees who had been laughing stuck out their tongues. They had all personally witnessed President Xiao's overtime work! Once, he made them work for 48 consecutive hours. The days without sleep were terrifying!
As a result, all the employees began to actively compile the performance report for the first half of the year. They were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Xiao Yan looked at the employees working hard through the office window and smiled helplessly.
Sometimes, if you're not serious, you can't be efficient at work!
When Gu Mingxia arrived at the hospital and learned that Gu Huaikun was in stable condition and had been transferred to a regular ward, her mood immediately brightened for some reason, and her steps became much lighter.
Upon entering the ward, Gu Huaikun saw Lin Fu feeding him fruit. When he saw Gu Mingxia enter, a childlike smile immediately appeared on his face, and he waved to her. Gu Mingxia put down her bag, took the fruit plate from Lin Fu, and sat down beside Gu Huaikun's bed.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
Seeing the father and daughter reconcile, Lin Fu smiled with relief. The master's efforts hadn't been in vain. With the young master gone, the master only had the eldest daughter as family. Now that they were reconciled, the master could live happily ever after.
"Very...good! The doctor...said...it's good!"
Gu Huaikun spoke somewhat incoherently, and Gu Mingxia used a toothpick to put a piece of pineapple into Gu Huaikun's mouth, then turned to look at Lin Fu with a questioning expression in her eyes.
"The doctor just checked on the patient and said that the old man is recovering well. It's just that the blood clot in his brain is pressing on his nerves, which is causing his speech to be a little slurred. But as long as he stays in the hospital for a few more days of IV drips, he'll be fine."
"Dad, you need to listen to the doctor, take good care of yourself, and try to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, okay?"
Gu Huaikun held Gu Mingxia's hand. He had been a strong man for half his life, and he never thought that one day he would have to lie in bed and rely on others to take care of him. But looking at the daughter in front of him who called him "Dad" and took good care of him, Gu Huaikun felt that this stroke was a good thing.
"Okay... Xia... you... go home... to live!"
Gu Mingxia frowned slightly upon hearing Gu Huaikun's words, but quickly relaxed and smiled at Gu Huaikun, who was looking at her expectantly from the hospital bed.
"Dad, focus on getting better first. We'll talk about this after you're discharged from the hospital!"
The Gu family was a place of painful memories for her; her mother and A-Dong both met their ends there. Therefore, Gu Mingxia had an instinctive reluctance to return to the Gu family. However, seeing Gu Huaikun's expectant eyes, she didn't know how to tell him.
"I understand...I understand, no...I won't force you! As long as you're...happy!"
Gu Huaikun tried his best to give Gu Mingxia a smile. Seeing his forced smile, Gu Mingxia suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart. Could this man be the kind of person who would stand by and watch his wife and son be murdered without doing anything?
She really couldn't believe that Gu Huaikun was that kind of person, but she had no choice but to believe what Uncle Qi and Aunt Liu said.
"Dad, have a few more bites of fruit. I have to go back soon. I've been really busy with work lately!"
Gu Mingxia put another piece of apple into Gu Huaikun's mouth, her face still bearing a concerned smile. Gu Huaikun waved his hand.
"You... are busy, go back early... and rest. There's... Lin... Lin Fu here!"
"Okay, then you get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow night!"
Gu Mingxia put down the fruit bowl, kissed Gu Huaikun on the cheek, then picked up her bag and left the ward. As the footsteps faded into the distance, Gu Huaikun's previously lifeless eyes became shrewd, and his slightly crooked face returned to normal.
"How's it going over there?"
"Master, there's...something's happening over there! But what about Miss..."
"Don't tell her, keep people watching her!"
Lin Fu nodded, and Gu Huaikun closed his eyes. It seemed the Gu family was about to have a big commotion! He could only hope that this matter wouldn't have too much of an impact on Gu Mingxia, since she was now starting to call him "Dad"!
As Gu Mingxia left the hospital, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to tell Gu Huaikun that she might not be able to come tomorrow, so she hurriedly walked back. But when she reached the door of the ward, she heard Gu Huaikun's clear and cold voice coming from inside, which was almost exactly the same as before his illness.
And that line, "Don't tell her!"
Hearing this, she tiptoed out. It was all a lie! She had been so worried and nervous, but Gu Huaikun had been acting! He had actually lied to her!
Gu Mingxia smiled, tears welling in her eyes, but how could the stubborn girl allow herself to cry? She bit her lip, hailed a taxi, and went straight back to Xiao Yan's villa.
She was just heartbroken because Gu Huaikun refused to let her stay at his home, but she never expected that his pitiful old man appearance after the stroke was all an act! Even Lin Fu was lying to her!
Gu Mingxia suddenly felt incredibly foolish. How could Gu Huaikun, so strong and healthy, suddenly fall ill? It turned out that all of this was just a way to deceive her!
Family ties... As expected, Gu Mingxia is a person who has no family ties whatsoever! After her mother and Adong passed away, she no longer has any relatives in this world!
After getting out of the car, Gu Mingxia returned to the villa. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Xiao Yan, who had just finished showering, sitting on the sofa reading documents. When he heard the door open, he naturally stood up and looked at her gently.
"You're back so early! Have you eaten? I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, they're still warm!"
While talking, they walked over there.
