Gu's Group President's Office —
"Gu Chu? What happened to you...?"
After a moment of surprise, Gu Dongting seemed to remember something and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"What, Mr. Gu doesn't want to see me?"
Seeing that Gu Chu's words were laced with barbs, Gu Dongting's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he said nothing more.
"Please sit down!"
After Gu Dongting spoke, Gu Chu took Su Wan's hand and led her to sit down on the sofa.
The secretary brought over two cups of coffee and one cup of tea.
"You girls love coffee, try some. Secretary Lin is quite good at making coffee."
"No need, we don't drink. Just say what you need to say!" Gu Chu refused.
Gu Dong looked at Gu Chu and said earnestly, "Gu Chu, we are father and daughter after all, is it necessary to be so distant?"
Su Wan scoffed lightly: "Tch! President Gu, we haven't forgotten that last time you came to the hospital with us and saw Chu Chu, you gave her a good 'lecture'."
Su Wan deliberately emphasized the word 'education,' the meaning of which was obvious.
Gu Dongting raised a fake smile: "Miss Su, you misunderstand. One thing at a time. I called you here today to discuss a deal."
Su Wan scoffed: "A deal? Mr. Gu, I'm not a businessman. What could we possibly trade? Besides, I've already 'sold' my life to you. I'm a dying man and I'm of no use to you anymore."
Gu Chu also said, "Master Gu, if you want Wanwan to go to the marriage in place of Gu Qingling, then you'd better not even dream about it! Even if she agrees, I won't agree, and besides, she won't agree!"
Seeing that Su Wan and Gu Chu were very wary of him, Gu Dongting quickly smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to harm you. I just wanted to ask Miss Su to do me a small favor with President Shen."
Su Wan gave a forced smile: "Shen Baiyan? Then you should go find him."
Gu Dongting said, "Miss Su, your relationship with President Shen is unusual. It's more reliable to contact you than Shen Baiyan."
Curious about what Gu Dongting wanted, Gu Chu asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
Gu Dongting pretended to be relaxed and said, "The Yufeng Hotel project is in Shen Baiyan's hands. As long as you help me get that project, I can give you a seaside villa, and I will return all of Gu Chu's things to her."
Yu Feng Hotel?
Upon hearing this name, Gu Chu immediately thought of her past life.
In the previous life, the Shen Group was fully responsible for the construction of this hotel. The Jiang Group wanted to get involved but failed. Gu Dongting found Jiang Jinyu to cooperate. Under Jiang Jinyu's operation, the contract for the Yufeng Hotel was awarded to the Jiang Group. However, because the building materials provided by the Qi Group were substandard, the hotel collapsed on the day of its topping-out.
The Shen and Jiang families were both sued. Because the Shen family had powerful connections, they managed to escape the case, leaving the responsibility to Jiang Jinyu alone. Jiang Jinyu went to Gu Dongting, who used the evidence of Qi's fabrication to blackmail him into helping Gu Qingling enter the Shen family.
Jiang Jinyu agreed. Under Jiang Jinyu's planning, Gu Qingling not only successfully slept with Shen Baiyan, but also spread photos of the two sleeping together to the wealthy social circle, forcing Shen Baiyan to marry Gu Qingling.
This led to a complete and irreconcilable feud between Shen Baiyan and Jiang Jinyu.
Gu Chu was still lost in memories of her past life when she suddenly heard Su Wan agree:
"Okay, we promise you!"
Gu Chu was startled, and subconsciously gripped Su Wan's hand, hesitating to speak: "Wanwan..."
Su Wan raised her hand and gently patted Gu Chu's hand to comfort her: "Chu Chu, don't worry. Shen Baiyan has so many projects, losing one won't make a difference. Besides, it will give you true freedom."
As she spoke, she gave Gu Chu a meaningful look.
Gu Chu immediately understood and stopped trying to stop her.
Gu Dongting stood up happily and extended his hand to Su Wan: "Then let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
Su Wan stood up and declined, saying, "There's no need for a handshake. It might make me feel like you're trying to take advantage of me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Dongting's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Secretary Lin, see the guests out!"
Half an hour ago—
Jiang Jinyu was worried, so he drove to the Gu family's building in person.
Seeing that half an hour had passed, he got out of the car and was about to walk towards the Gu's Building when suddenly a red Ferrari stopped in front of him, blocking his way.
"Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?" Gu Qingling opened the car door and got out.
Jiang Jinyu's eyes flashed when he saw that it was Gu Qingling.
"Where is Miss Gu going?"
"Going to my dad's company, want to come along?"
"OK!"
The two walked across the road side by side.
"President Jiang, thank you for what happened last time!"
Jiang Jinyu said bluntly, "You're welcome. I didn't do this for you."
Gu Qingling's expression stiffened upon hearing this, but she quickly smiled and said, "While that may be true, you did save me, so it's only right that I thank you."
Jiang Jinyu glanced at Gu Qingling and teased, "I didn't realize Miss Gu was so grateful. So why did you smear the person who saved your life?"
"Huh?" Gu Qingling didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Jinyu sarcastically said, "So Miss Gu is not only hypocritical, but also not very bright. We weren't the ones who saved your life in the first place."
Gu Qingling was displeased upon hearing these blatant words. She argued, "President Jiang, you've misunderstood. I bought Su Wan's life for fifty million."
Jiang Jinyu sneered: "Bought? Would you be willing to sell your life to me? I can offer 100 million."
Jiang Jinyu sarcastically remarked to Gu Qingling without any politeness. Gu Qingling was very disappointed. She had come here specifically to test Jiang Jinyu's feelings for her, but she did not expect that Jiang Jinyu not only had no feelings for her, but also seemed to dislike her.
She gave a forced smile: "President Jiang, if you want my body, I'm willing anytime. Want my life? That depends on whether you have the charm to make me love you to the point of being willing to die for you."
