Chapter 126 The Gu family—not a single one of them is a good person.
What these wealthy families value most is
Isn't it just that hypocritical face and family reputation?
If the outside world were to find out that the widow of the eldest son of the Gu family had been having an affair with the housekeeper for a long time,
...If the Gu family were to become the biggest laughing stock in high society,
How could Gu Jingcheng and that old man bear to do this?
Why would it be so shameful to bury the already dead Gu Yannian in the ground?
Gu Xuan's eyes sharpened, and he abruptly released his grip.
He raised his foot and kicked Chen Qingyun hard in the chest.
Chen Qingyun screamed and fell backward.
He was then roughly pulled up by the rope by the bodyguard.
"It seems you won't tell the truth unless I use some tricks."
Gu Xuan slowly adjusted his cuffs, his tone icy.
"Beat him until he tells the 'truth'!"
The bodyguard's punches and kicks rained down like raindrops.
They specifically target the soft and vulnerable abdomen and ribs.
The dull thuds of blows and Chen Qingyun's painful wails and pleas for mercy echoed in the empty living room.
The servants around were trembling with fear, all keeping their heads down and not daring to look at them.
Gu Xuan stood there, watching expressionlessly.
It was as if they were enjoying a good show.
The torment he had endured these past few days had left him almost numb to violence and screams.
It even produced a distorted sense of pleasure.
Finally, Chen Qingyun couldn't hold back any longer and screamed with tears streaming down his face.
"Stop hitting me... I'll talk... I'll talk..."
Gu Xuan raised his hand, and the bodyguard stopped what he was doing.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Xuan squatted down and patted Chen Qingyun's swollen cheeks.
"Explain clearly how you got together, including the time and place of each encounter."
If even a tiny bit is missed…
“I will bring your son back from abroad so that you two can be reunited.”
Chen Qingyun completely broke down, in order to protect his son,
He recounted his and Zhao Qiluo's secret and shameful past.
He revealed everything.
As Gu Xuan listened, the smile on his face grew colder and colder.
I felt increasingly happy.
Having this leverage, he was in this house...
Only then can one truly establish a foothold.
They also have more leverage in their negotiations with the Gu family.
Gu Xuan could almost imagine what would happen when he presented this evidence to Gu Jingcheng.
The other person's frustrated expression as they compromised with him.

Lin Family Villa
Lin Yaocheng was nestled deep in the leather sofa, the cigar between his fingers half-burned, the grayish-white ash about to fall.
He was completely unaware.
His brows were furrowed, forming a deep "川" (river) character.
The matter between his daughter and Gu Jingcheng weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder.
The Gu family... that pool of water runs too deep.
Back then, Gu Xuan alone was already exhausting enough...
How could his Weiwei still be so ambiguously trapped in the Gu family?
Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, they have been in business for generations and have a clean and honest reputation.
He needs to find some time to have a serious talk with Weiwei.
He needed to know what his daughter was thinking, no matter what.
If his daughter really has feelings for Gu Jingcheng, then he should go to the Gu family on her behalf.
Let's have a proper discussion about the marriage between our two families.
Even though we've registered our marriage, we still need to have a proper wedding ceremony.
We can't let Weiwei live with that kid Gu Jingcheng in such an ambiguous way.
Just as I was getting impatient, a faint noise came from the foyer.
Lin Wei has returned.
Lin Wei took off her coat, her face showing some fatigue.
"Dad, I'm home."
Lin Wei is indeed very tired today.
I spent the whole morning cuddling with Gu Jingcheng.
He almost never got out of bed.
I returned to the company in the afternoon and called a meeting with the employees.
I reviewed the inflows and outflows of funds from the rural factory over the years.
In preparation for cleaning up Chen Yonglin and his gang of parasites.
Having been given a second chance at life, she is determined to make the Lin Group thrive.
This will rewrite the fate of the Lin family as it declines.
Only now does she realize that, due to her negligence in managing the company over the past three years,
We are already facing both internal and external troubles.
She only just discovered that Chen Yonglin and his group were so blatantly abusing their power for personal gain.
Many things in the company need to be reviewed and analyzed.
Nip corruption in the bud.
Seeing his daughter's exhaustion, Lin Yaocheng felt even more heartache.
She became more determined to talk to Gu Jingcheng.
Lin Wei suddenly remembered something.
"Dad, my brother's flight is tomorrow. Do you need me to pick him up?"
Lin Yaocheng stubbed out his cigar, his worried expression fading.
Try to make your voice sound steady.
"No need, you already have enough to keep you busy with company matters."
Just let the driver go.
Has the company encountered any troublesome issues recently?
Lin Wei sat down beside him and rubbed her temples.
"It's alright. Dad, the Gu family... will pay off their previous debts, principal and interest."
They've all been brought back.
"oh?"
Lin Yaocheng was taken aback; it was unexpected.
The Gu family, that mother and son, were notoriously stingy and always trying to take advantage of others.
They actually gave me the money in their pocket?
Weiwei was deeply in love with Gu Xuan back then.
Stick it in like a silly child.
He had long considered those loans as a waste of time.
I never expected them to pay back!
She was just thinking... she couldn't let her daughter be looked down upon by them.
She felt that the Lin family wouldn't even offer her this much support, so she reluctantly agreed...
After finally managing to annul the engagement, there was no point in even thinking about it anymore.
What's the reputation of that mother and son in Jiangcheng? They're mercenary and ungrateful!
If Weiwei hadn't been so bewitched back then, how could the Lin family have had any connection with such a family!
A blush rose to Lin Wei's cheeks.
"Yes, Gu Jingcheng has reorganized the Gu Group internally..."
Zhao Qiluo is already in prison.
Lin Wei was figuring out how to bring up the topic of bringing Gu Jingcheng home tomorrow to her father.
The weight on Lin Yaocheng's heart lifted a little.
His daughter still held some weight in Gu Jingcheng's heart, and that was no small sum of money.
I returned it right away.
The living room fell silent for a brief moment.
Lin Wei remained silent for a moment, her grip on the teacup tightening slightly.
Now that she had decided to be with Gu Jingcheng, she should do something for him.
Her gaze swept over her father and her mother, who had just come from the side hall.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you. I'm getting married."
Su Qing, who had just brought a fruit platter from the kitchen, slipped and the porcelain plate shattered on the carpet.
Fruit rolled all over the ground.
"You got married? With whom? When did it happen?"
Weiwei, you...you've done something so important, why didn't you discuss it with your parents?
"Who is this guy? Don't be fooled."
Su Qing was fully aware of her daughter's romantic nature.
Once you've decided on someone, you'll do anything about it.
Gu Xuan was a case in point last time.
Compared to Su Qing's intense reaction,
Lin Yaocheng and his wife exchanged a glance, their eyes showing surprise, but more so, understanding.
My daughter previously said that Gu Jingcheng asked her to keep their marriage a secret, so why is she revealing it now?
Lin Wei gritted her teeth.
"Mom, it's... Gu Jingcheng."
Su Qing felt her vision go black and black again.
My daughter suddenly got married.
The person she's marrying is her daughter's ex-boyfriend's uncle.
Her blood pressure rose a little due to the messy relationship.
Her daughter was going to marry him? This complicated relationship gave her the creeps.
She almost lost her balance and grabbed the sofa armrest tightly.
"Which Gu Jingcheng? Gu Xuan's uncle?"
"Weiwei, isn't Gu Xuan enough for the Gu family?"
How come you're getting involved with the Gu family again...?
Moreover, he is Gu Xuan's uncle.
If you ask me, none of them are good people, not even those who care about their families.
Weiwei, let's be good and stay away from them, okay?
I think Shi Yanzhou is quite good. You two are childhood sweethearts and know each other well...
