Chapter 916: Young Master Wu Pleads for Mercy
"Oh, no, not really, just a little."
Long Yu's smile vanished: "So you still need Gu Yin's help? No, you haven't been observing the Gu family all this time, have you?" Otherwise, how could you know about Gu Yin's family's movements while still in the compound!
Startled by Long Yu's words, Wu Chong immediately explained, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't, I didn't!! I know the rules! If my dad hears this, I'll be beaten to death!"
"Then what's with that constipated look on your face?"
Wu Chong: "...How can you say that so rudely? I..."
"What is your relationship with the Liang family?"
Upon hearing Gu Yin's question, Wu Chong immediately fell silent.
Long Yu: "...What Liang family?"
Chi Xing, always eager for gossip, immediately launched into a long story about the Liang family. Gu Hua chimed in, and their back-and-forth, indignant expressions infuriated Long Yu.
"Tell me, are you related to the Liang family? Did you come here to plead for leniency? I'm telling you, if you were in this situation, would you be willing to forgive them? I don't remember having any relatives with the surname Liang in your Wu family."
Wu Chong scratched his head: "They're not my relatives, they're my girlfriend's relatives. I didn't tell them, I know they're in the wrong, so I've been making excuses, but now she's been arguing with me, and I... sigh!"
"Your girlfriend? When did you get a girlfriend?" Long Yu was taken aback; all three of them were single!
"Why do you have a girlfriend? Why did you get out of being single behind our backs?"
Wu Chong's face darkened: "What happened a while ago isn't the point!"
Long Yu shut up. He was a brother, but there were some things he couldn't interfere with. Nobody was stupid. Wu Chong had clearly asked him to keep him company today; otherwise, why would he have gone to his house?
Wu Chong knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't ask Long Yu to speak on his behalf.
He looked at Gu Yin and poured her a cup of tea: "Well, Gu Yin, is there really no room for reconciliation in this matter? The Liang family knows they were wrong, and you are a magnanimous person, please forgive them this once?"
Gu Yin chuckled: "Their family went bankrupt?"
Wu Chong shook his head.
"Will they go bankrupt if they lose those few clients?"
Wu Chong continued to shake his head.
"That's fine then. There's no bankruptcy, so what are you worried about?"
Wu Chong said helplessly, "It's not that I'm worried, it's that my girlfriend's grandfather said that if these deals are lost, they won't have the money to take over the Chu family's real estate business tomorrow, and their assets will be significantly reduced. This is very important to them, and I..."
"So, you gave them preferential treatment when it came to taking over the Chu family's real estate?"
When Gu Yin said this, Long Yu was startled. If that were true, Wu Chong would be finished!
Wu Chong immediately shook his head: "I didn't!"
Gu Yin narrowed her eyes: "Really not?!"
Wu Chong: "...No, I just mentioned it briefly. If you have the money, take it, really! I didn't say anything else!"
"Hmph, you're something else when it comes to love, you almost sold your old man! Alright, that's the end of it, no discussion. If the Liang family can't take it over, then the Gu family will. As for their assets, that's none of my business."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chong let out a long breath.
Everyone looked at him. No, Gu Yin refused, so what's with the relief you're showing?
Wu Chong was a little embarrassed: "Before I asked, I was scared and didn't dare to ask. After I asked, Gu Yin refused. Isn't this giving my girlfriend an explanation?"
He immediately sent a message to the other party after saying that.
The phone rang right after I sent the message.
Even without the speakerphone on, everyone could hear the girl's exasperation and anger, and she even said she wanted to break up.
Gu Yin thought of the girl she had seen at the Taoist temple during the day; her arrogant demeanor suggested that she was indeed capable of such a thing.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Chong let out another long breath.
Everyone: "......"
Wu Chong explained helplessly, "She was fine at first, but ever since her family took over the Chu family's project, she's changed. Buying bags and cars is nothing to her, but sometimes she asks for inside information. I've been planning to break up with her these past few days, but I haven't found the opportunity. Since she brought it up, let's break up. I'm afraid that if we continue, I'll have to sell myself!"
Gu Yin frowned upon hearing this: "Have you considered that the other party might very well be a spy?"
Wu Chong nodded: "I've thought about it, I've investigated, and I've also had the National Security Bureau investigate. She's definitely not the one. She just wants to get some information so that she can acquire those properties next year at the lowest possible cost."
Well, there's still hope.
"Ah Yin, why did you think of letting the Gu family take over this real estate?" Old Mr. Chu asked when the conversation stopped.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "You've already had Father Chu take Gu Shu to study, do you think I can't see that? Is that what you're planning too?"
Gu Shu was originally working on the basketball club, but now he's being taken by Chu Xiong and his wife to work on building houses. The Chu family must have their own plans. Besides, Gu Shu has always been under Chu Yan's wing, frequently going to the Chu family to learn and be trained. He should be able to take over the family business.
Grandpa Chu smiled and nodded: "The real estate market will not decline in the next few years. Housing is a major issue for people's livelihood. I don't trust others to handle it. Money is a small matter. Safety is the most important thing. Especially after seeing the Liang family's behavior, I am even more reluctant to let others take over. It's better to have our own people do it. A-Shu can take over after two years of training. If he is not capable, we can scale down the scale. It doesn't matter. We can take it slowly."
The other members of the Gu family didn't see through his intentions. Gu Shu did see through them, but he wasn't sure. Only Gu Yin saw through them at a glance. It's a pity that this girl was handed over to the country. Otherwise, the business world would probably be in a lot of turmoil.
No sooner had Old Master Chu finished speaking than Long Yu slapped Wu Chong on the back: "The content of today's conversation..."
Wu Chong immediately raised his hand: "I won't say a word about it! I won't tell my dad either! Don't worry!"
Long Yu nodded: "You'd better be!"
