Chapter 601: Sweating Like Rain
"You don't have the qualifications to make me angry. Get out of here before my patience runs out!"
Meeting Huo Yunting's cold eyes, Guo Zhenzhen was so frightened that she trembled all over. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, not daring to move forward.
Huo Yunting ignored her and turned away.
She returned to Guo's house in a daze. Du Xinyi hurriedly walked up to her and looked at her expectantly.
"Zhenzhen, how is it? Did Huo Yunting agree to help?!"
Guo Zhenzhen shook her head and said, "Mom, let's think of other ways. There must be a way to go abroad."
Upon hearing this, Du Xinyi's expression changed, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
"Find another way? If your father hadn't been arrested, there might still be a way, but now... everyone treats us like a scourge. I called a few wives I was close to playing cards with before, hoping to ask for their help. I called several times, but the servants said they were not in..."
Du Xinyi knew exactly what the other party meant. Now that the Guo family was about to fall, everyone started to look down on her.
Thinking about her past glory days when everyone rushed to please her, Du Xinyi felt unwilling to accept it.
However, what else could she do, no matter how unwilling she was? Now she and those people were no longer in the same world.
"Don't worry about it, just pack your things, I'll find a way."
Seeing Guo Zhenzhen's cold expression, Du Xinyi quickly grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes and said, "Zhenzhen, the Guo family is no longer what it used to be. If we take a wrong step, we might end up like your father. Since we can't leave, let's get the assets we can get now and deal with the rest later."
Guo Zhenzhen frowned and her expression turned cold.
"Mom, if we continue to stay in the capital, it will not benefit us at all, and I don't want others to laugh at me!"
Du Xinyi's face turned grim, and she sighed, "I don't want others to laugh at me, but we have no other choice now."
Of course Guo Zhenzhen knew that there was no other way, she just didn't want to give up.
She was clearly one of the richest daughters in Beijing before, but now she has become the object of everyone's ridicule.
Seeing the resentment on her face, Du Xinyi said in a deep voice, "Zhenzhen, you used to have the Guo family protecting you, so it's okay for you to be a little arrogant. But you must understand now that the Guo family is going to fall. From now on, we have to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if your father's affairs are linked to us, we will be finished."
Du Xinyi felt upset when she thought that Guo Lin was still lying in the ward and she didn't know when he would wake up.
It would be fine if Guo Lin had died immediately. Even if the police investigated, it would have nothing to do with them. But now he is lying half-dead in the hospital, the police will definitely find them.
"Mom, I understand. I want to be alone for a while, so I'll go upstairs first."
"Well, but you have to promise me that you won't do anything extreme."
Facing the worry in Du Xinyi's eyes, Guo Zhenzhen pursed her lips and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't be as stupid as before."
Besides, Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting are not worth her risking her life on.
Seeing her calm expression, Du Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you figured it out."
After returning to the room, Guo Zhenzhen immediately made a phone call.
"Go check when my dad and Su Baitian started working together."
She had overheard a phone call between Guo Lin and Su Baitian before. The conversation between the two was very unpleasant. She heard Su Baitian talking about something that happened more than 20 years ago. She heard him help Su Baitian.
If this matter could be investigated thoroughly, perhaps he would be able to take those assets abroad.
However... based on her understanding of Guo Lin, if he had any evidence on someone else, he would definitely keep evidence.
Unfortunately, Guo Lin is now a vegetable, so even if I want to ask, I can’t.
After thinking for a while, Guo Zhenzhen decided to go to the study.
However, after searching for several hours, I found nothing useful.
Guo Zhenzhen felt a little frustrated. Did she guess wrong?
Just as she was about to go back to her room, something suddenly flashed through her mind and her expression immediately became excited.
Guo Lin had always been on guard against the mother and daughter. If there really was anything, he would either hide it in the company or with his lover.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhenzhen immediately drove to Guo's.
When she arrived downstairs at Guo’s building, the receptionist recognized her and immediately came forward.
"Ms. Guo, you can't go in."
Now Guo Shi has nothing to do with the Guo family. I heard that the name will be changed in the next two days. If I let Guo Zhenzhen in now, I might even lose my job.
Guo Zhenzhen looked at the receptionist coldly, her voice filled with anger. "My father still owns 50% of Guo's shares. He's unconscious in the hospital now. I'm here to help him manage his shares. You're just a receptionist. Why won't you let me in?"
I thought the receptionist would be scared after hearing this, but she looked at me with a mocking expression, "Ms. Guo, do you think I'm stupid? Mr. Guo's 20% shares have long been frozen, and his recent illegal and criminal activities have been made public. If you want to inherit his shares, shouldn't you also bear the consequences of his crimes?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, just get out of here, or I'll make you get out later!"
Before the receptionist could speak, a male voice with a smile came from behind.
"Ms. Guo is so arrogant that she actually came to my company to act like a tyrant. But when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. Where do you get the confidence to bully my employees like this?"
Guo Zhenzhen turned around and saw that it was Tang Ruze, and anger flashed in her eyes.
"Tang Ruze, my father hasn't been convicted yet, so your acquisition of Guo's is invalid! I won't agree to it!"
Seeing her innocent face, Tang Ruze couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Ms. Guo, my acquisition is legal and reasonable. Please leave here before I call the police."
Guo Zhenzhen's eyes were filled with anger, but she also knew that she would be the one who would suffer if she clashed with Tang Ruze.
She snorted coldly, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you. I came here today to sort out some of my dad's things and take them away."
A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Ruze's eyes. He had heard that Guo Zhenzhen and Guo Lin had a bad relationship, so why did she suddenly come to help Guo Lin pack his things?
But...if I let her go like this, I might not be able to find out her purpose.
Thinking of this, Tang Ruze smiled and said, "I've asked my assistant to pack Mr. Guo's things. You can just go up and take them away now."
Guo Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Tang Ruze to be so easy to talk to.
But soon her expression changed, and she frowned and said, "Tang Ruze, you didn't touch my dad's things, did you?!"
Tang Ruze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have a habit of rummaging through garbage dumps."
