Chapter 35 Falling out with the Gu Family
Shang Yuze smiled and asked, "How much did you spend on living expenses every month before?"
Gu Qingyue pinched the bank card with her slender fingers and said casually: "Since I started junior high school, my living expenses have all been spent on scholarships."
The wrinkles between Shang Yuze's brows deepened.
Junior high school? Gu Qingyue was only thirteen or fourteen at the time. How much could a child's living expenses be? Besides, the Gu family didn't lack that much money.
She was young at that time and couldn't earn money on her own. When she went to college, she was majoring in two subjects and was also busy with things in the laboratory, so she couldn't make money part-time. No wonder she was so thin. It turned out that the Gu family didn't give her living expenses at all.
In order to let Gu Qingyue protect Gu Jiaxin from disaster, it would not be excessive for the Gu family to worship Gu Qingyue.
Now that Gu Jiaxin is safe and sound, the Gu family has turned around and forgotten about Gu Qingyue, and even wants to use her to save the company. The Gu family has clearly learned the lesson of how to demolish the bridge after crossing it.
There was a cold flash in Shang Yuze's eyes.
Gu Qingyue didn't notice the man's expression and was concentrating on teasing the big dog in front of her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shang Yuze went to the kitchen to heat a cup of milk for her and brought it to her: "Drink the milk and go to bed early."
After Gu Qingyue finished drinking, Shang Yuze took the cup naturally.
Before going upstairs, Gu Qingyue's eyebrows curved and she smiled very beautifully: "Good night."
Shang Yuze's lips curved up: "Good night."
…
The next day, early morning.
Winter is almost here. It's a little after seven in the morning and everything is gray and hazy. There's a white mist hanging over my voice.
Gu Qingyue wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket, her palm-sized face hidden in the fluffy white scarf.
As soon as I walked into the teaching building, a familiar voice came from behind me.
"Gu Qingyue."
She stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
Gu Jiaxin leaned against the wall, apparently waiting for her.
Gu Qingyue was too lazy to pay attention to her and just raised her leg to continue walking forward.
Gu Jiaxin hurriedly caught up: "Mom and Dad asked you to come home for dinner tonight."
Gu Qingyue frowned, walked to an empty corner, looked down at Gu Jiaxin, raised a pair of playful eyes, and said with a smile.
"You want to drug me again?"
Gu Jiaxin's face froze slightly, but when she thought of what her parents had said, she began to play the victim, even pretending to squeeze out two tears: "My parents did that for their own reasons."
Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows.
What's going on here?
If the hard way doesn’t work, try the soft way?
Seeing that Gu Qingyue didn't say anything, Gu Jiaxin continued.
"At the time, our family's company was facing a financial crisis. Mom and Dad didn't tell you because they didn't want you to worry. They were looking for help everywhere. It was Li Qunshan who said he liked you and that if you were with him, he would inject capital into the company. Mom and Dad were really at their wit's end, so they resorted to this last resort."
After saying that, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Qingyue crossed her arms and watched her perform quietly. She really deserved to be a student of acting, her acting skills were really good. When she entered the entertainment industry, she could definitely play Bai Lianhua, which would be a true portrayal of herself.
She curled her lips coldly: "Then everything you said to me at that time was also false?"
Gu Jiaxin paused wiping her tears and started to speak nonsense.
"What did you say? It's possible that you misheard because of the Chinese medicine. We all felt very sorry for you at the time."
Gu Qingyue laughed out loud, mercilessly exposing her disguise, and sarcastically said, "Gu Jiaxin, are you schizophrenic? That's not what you said the last time we met. Do you need me to repeat it to you?"
Hearing these sarcastic words, Gu Jiaxin's eyes burst into anger, but when she thought of the Gu family, she could only suppress all her resentment.
The loss of more than 10 million yuan to Gu Qingyue made the Gu family, which was already in financial crisis, even worse.
The stock market has fallen sharply now. If no one can help, the Gu family will be finished.
She said softly, "Gu Qingyue, your parents have raised you for so many years and have never worried about food and clothing. In the end, you are fine, right? Don't be angry. Come home with me. Mom and Dad miss you very much."
She spoke with such sincerity that people who didn't know the truth might be deceived by her.
Gu Qingyue didn't buy her tricks and asked pointedly, "Li Qunshan probably hasn't seen me, right?"
Gu Jiaxin was choked by these words, and a flash of guilt and panic flashed across his eyes.
She looked meaningfully at Gu Jiaxin, whose expression was grim, and said in a drawling tone, "If I'm guessing correctly, he was attracted to you at first, right?"
The Gu couple never introduced her to outsiders, nor did they ever acknowledge that she was the daughter of the Gu family.
Ever since Gu Jiaxin came back, they have been taking her to banquets of all sizes all day long, in a high-profile and ostentatious manner. Who doesn’t know Gu Jiaxin if they are of the same level as the Gu family?
Thinking of what happened that night, Gu Qingyue's heart turned cold, and she looked at Gu Jiaxin with cold eyes.
"I'm fine because I'm lucky. What does it have to do with you? The Gu family adopted me because of you, and asked me to protect you from disaster. Your family is so grateful to me, so I don't owe you anything."
"From the moment you drugged me, I have no connection to the Gu family. Don't even think about getting anything out of me. I've lived in the Gu family for so many years, and we both know exactly how they treat me. So don't try to blackmail me."
Although she never believed in the idea of warding off disasters, it was now the perfect way to shut up Gu Jiaxin and his family.
"You!" Gu Jiaxin's face flushed, with jealous and vicious flames flashing in his eyes.
Gu Qingyue sneered, "Gu Jiaxin, even if you do owe me money, it's your Gu family who owes me. You've turned a blind eye to evil, and the company's impending bankruptcy is your own fault. I advise you to stay away from me, or you'll suffer retribution!"
After knowing that she was not her biological daughter, she still remembered the Gu family's kindness in raising her over the years. If they had not drugged her, she would have had plenty of ways to save the Gu family's company.
The chip technology she gave Shang Yuze last time can definitely help the Gu family open up new areas. With this technology, investors will come in an endless stream. Are they still afraid that they can't solve this financial crisis?
Even if she takes a step back, she can also sell the chip technology. Her chips are high-end chips, and the money from the sales is enough to help the Gu family overcome the crisis.
The Gu family didn't care about her and never paid attention to her, so they didn't know what she was doing.
But it’s better this way, at least it allows her to see the true face of the Gu family sooner.
Gu Jiaxin yelled like a shrew, "Gu Qingyue! You're going too far! Do you really think you can become Mrs. Shang just by hooking up with Mr. Shang? Mr. Shang is just playing with you!"
"You're an unwanted orphan like me, yet you still dream of getting into the Shang family? You don't even consider whether you're worthy enough! What will you do if Mr. Shang abandons you someday?!"
