Chapter 263 Naive, I'll wait patiently for the day you come to divide the Gu family's assets.
Gu Mingxia spoke with a distinctly sarcastic tone, and Fu Heng raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"This is indeed unexpected news. However, the Gu family has always been capable, so it's not too hard for people to accept that she became the wife of the Morgan Group."
The Gu family members are born to do business. After the initial shock, Fu Heng quickly accepted the fact that Alice was Gu Huaiyan. He just didn't expect that Gu Mingxia would come to tell him the news after she found out.
Gu Mingxia smiled faintly. She didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed. She had such a capable aunt, but unfortunately, she was destined to be on the opposite side of her. They could not be relatives or friends. The two of them could only be enemies.
"Yes, he is naturally aloof and doesn't care about family ties at all. Gu Huaiyan came back this time to seek revenge on my father."
Although the affair between Gu Huaiyan and Gu Huaikun was a secret within the Gu family, a family like the Fu family naturally had its own channels to find information. Fu Heng wasn't surprised at all that Gu Mingxia said Gu Huaiyan had returned to seek revenge on Gu Huaikun; on the contrary, he would have been surprised and astonished if she had said Gu Huaiyan had returned to help the Gu family.
"Since she doesn't care about family ties, then you don't need to either. Use the right methods for the right people, Mingxia, I don't need to teach you that, do I?"
As Fu Heng spoke, a faint smile remained on his face, as if he were discussing whether to have Western or Chinese food for lunch, showing no intention of targeting anyone.
"But to be honest, you've taught Fu Ya very well. Now he can be considered capable of handling things on his own at Gu's."
In front of Fu Heng, Gu Mingxia made no attempt to hide her praise for Fu Ya, but Fu Heng simply shook his head, his gentle expression replaced by seriousness.
"He... is still far from good enough. As long as you don't mind that he's using Gu's as an internship, then just let him do it. As the saying goes, 'A madman can kill his master,' with Fu Ya's aggressive approach, he might actually be able to drive out those parasites from Gu's!"
"It should be about right. I just don't know if this will be too hard on Fu Ya."
We still need to be polite!
After all, he is a member of the Fu family, so she can't order him around too much. If Fu Heng gets angry and brings this up one day, Gu Mingxia will have an explanation, right?
However, if Fu Heng knew what Gu Mingxia was thinking now, he would be very sad. His good intentions had been misunderstood in this way. It was really too...heartbreaking!
"It's alright. He's the kind of person who's always eager to be bossed around. You can order him around whenever you want. Besides, Gu's Group pays him a salary, doesn't it? You're obligated to do that, so don't be polite to him."
If Fu Ya knew, she would definitely lament how dark this world is, that her own brother had sold her out like that!
"Since you've put it that way, then I really won't hold back!"
She was waiting for Fu Heng to say those words. Once Fu Heng spoke, even if she made many demands on Fu Ya, he wouldn't be able to complain. That was Gu Mingxia's main purpose in coming today.
Having an employee you can boss around at will means you'd be willing to pay them a salary.
"By the way, how are things between you and Xiao Yan lately?"
"We... I don't want to talk about a problem."
Gu Mingxia didn't know how to talk about what happened between her and Xiao Yan, so she simply said nothing. However, the smile on her face carried a faint bitterness. Seeing her expression, Fu Heng naturally didn't ask any more questions.
"Actually... Xiao Yan still cares about you. Mingxia, really, for the sake of the child in your belly, try not to hold grudges. After all, you don't want your child to be born without a father, right?"
Fu Heng spoke very gently. If someone else had said these words, Gu Mingxia would have thought that person was being nosy. But since it was Fu Heng who said them, Gu Mingxia only frowned slightly, without feeling any resentment.
She knew where her faults lay, but she didn't know how to forgive Xiao Yan for everything he had done. There were some things she truly felt powerless to do.
"Let's talk about this later. Thinking about it so much right now is too tiring."
Gu Mingxia stroked her belly and said helplessly, "Everyone tells me that if I don't stay with Xiao Yan, my child will be born without a father. But if the two of us don't have a good relationship, how can we give our child a happy family?"
She was starting to not want to answer the question anymore, but since Fu Heng had asked it, Gu Mingxia didn't want to be too direct and hurt his feelings, so she could only give him a perfunctory reply.
"That's true. There's always a way out. As long as you know what you want to do, you don't need to pay attention to other people's opinions. In the end, you have to live your own life."
"I know that. Let's talk about it after we finish what we're doing. There are some things that we can't control or change. Rather than forcing it, we might as well let nature take its course."
Gu Mingxia nodded, agreeing with Fu Heng's suggestion. She glanced at the time and slowly stood up.
"It's getting late, how about I do you the honor of treating you to lunch?"
"It is an honor to receive Miss Gu's invitation!"
Fu Heng stood up, came to Gu Mingxia's side, and very gentlemanly put his hands in his pockets and offered his elbow to Gu Mingxia, who smiled and took it.
When the two came out together, Song Jia, who was waiting in the car, was obviously taken aback, but she immediately smiled.
"Where would you two like to go?"
“Let’s go to that vegetarian restaurant in the city center.” Before Fu Heng could speak, Gu Mingxia spoke first. “Your wound has only recently healed, so eating something light will help it heal.”
"Aren't you afraid that a vegetarian diet won't provide enough nutrition?"
Fu Heng did not object, and when he got into the car, he was in a particularly good mood and joked about it.
"It's nice to change things up once in a while. If I always eat big, meaty meals, I'll become a fat woman after giving birth."
Gu Mingxia had gained a few kilograms since becoming pregnant, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Weight gain during pregnancy is perfectly normal for women, unlike some women who make a huge fuss about it. Gu Mingxia thought that if she gained weight, she could simply spend more time losing it; why make such a fuss?
"You're so thin, even if you gained a little weight, you wouldn't be considered fat."
"No woman dislikes being thin, especially in this era where it's either be thin or die. Women have more opportunities if they are thin."
Song Jia, sitting in the front, twitched his lips. Did these two really have to keep arguing about this nonsense? They didn't find it tedious, but even he, an outsider, found it extremely boring.
After lunch, Gu Mingxia did not go to the Gu Group, but returned to the Gu family villa with Song Jia.
"Young Miss, you're finally back."
Upon seeing Gu Mingxia, Lin Fu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior.
"What happened, Uncle Lin?"
Gu Mingxia rushed to Lin Fu's side without even putting down her bag. When she saw Gu Mingxia striding towards her, Lin Fu was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
"My dear young lady, please slow down, please slow down. I can't be responsible if this affects the baby."
Lin Fu rushed forward to support Gu Mingxia, who was striding forward, afraid that she might slip up even slightly. After all, she was the third generation of the Gu family, and he couldn't bear the responsibility if anything happened to her.
"Uncle Lin, don't be so anxious, I'm fine." Gu Mingxia was helped to sit on the sofa by Lin Fu, a faint smile still on her lips. "Why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"
"You'd better hurry and go check on Fourth Madam; Second Miss is causing trouble again."
Upon hearing Lin Fu's words, Gu Mingxia immediately frowned. Ah Xin had gone to cause trouble for Qin Yueru again? She really was persistent!
But Gu Huaikun is already out of his mind, so why would she still cause trouble? Gu Mingxia really couldn't understand it, but no matter how hard she tried, she still had to go and check on him, otherwise Lin Fu would be really worried to death.
"Let's go take a look."
Gu Mingxia got up and walked towards Lanyue Tower with a smile. Lin Fu followed her quickly after saying "Hey!" Before they even arrived, they heard A Xin's noisy voice.
"Qin Yueru, open the door and let me in."
"Qin Yueru, you little brat, do you really think you're the rightful wife of the Gu family? Open the door right now, I need to see the old man!"
"Qin Yueru, you bitch, open the door right now!"
"Second Miss, you really have a lot of energy to keep cursing here. Aren't you tired? Would you like me to bring you a sofa and pour you a glass of water?"
Gu Mingxia asked with a smile, and A Xin was taken aback. She turned to look at her and snorted coldly.
"Gu Mingxia, you hid the old man so you could take over the Gu family business for yourself later, right? That's a ruthless move!"
“The Gu family has always had a family rule that the family property must be inherited by the eldest son, so even if I don’t hide my father, this family property has nothing to do with you.”
"Don't be so smug! Even if the Gu family has its rules, there's still the law! I don't believe the Gu family's rules can be stronger than the law!"
Ah Xin replied to Gu Mingxia with great resentment, her eyes filled with hatred. This was the person who had caused her to lose her mother and family, and even her right to be a mother.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Mingxia laughed easily after hearing Ah Xin's words.
"Ah Xin, you're really naive. Only someone like you would believe in the law. Have you forgotten the saying that only the rich have the right to play legal games? You... although you claim to be the second young lady of the Gu family, who doesn't know that you're just an illegitimate child!"
"Gu Mingxia, you're ruthless! But don't forget, even illegitimate daughters have the power to divide the old man's assets, so don't be too smug!"
"Is that so? Since you have such confidence, then I will wait for the day when you come to divide the Gu family's property."
