Chu Fei slowly walked out of the room, a complex expression on her face. She whispered, "Chu Chu, since the video has been made public, I am determined to return the money to him in full. I, Chu Fei, will never accept charity, nor will I touch a single cent of his ill-gotten gains."
Seeing this, Chuchu gently took her sister's hand, her eyes gleaming with determination and wisdom. "Sister, why bother with such filthy things? He obtained that money through deception. Rather than letting it become a burden, why not let it become a stream of warmth, flowing to those in need? The children in the welfare home are longing for the light of knowledge, the children in the orphanage dream of the warmth of home, and the elderly in the nursing home need more than just material help; they need the care and respect of society. Let's use this money to bring them hope, accumulate virtue for ourselves, and purify our hearts."
Su Qian's voice sounded at an inopportune moment. He was smiling, as if all the gloom just now had never existed. He tried to redeem something with sweet words: "Fei Fei, listen to my explanation. During those days between us, I was sincere to you. I admit that I made a mistake, but that's just a mistake every man might make, isn't it? Moreover, I have completely severed my relationship with Liu Ye. From now on, there will only be you in my heart. Please give me another chance!"
Chu Fei just glanced at him coldly, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Enough, Su Qian, your apology and explanation are meaningless to me. Your existence only makes me sick. Now, please leave my world immediately and never let me see you again!"
Just as Chu Chu was about to step forward and personally "invite" Su Qian out, a calm and powerful voice broke the tense atmosphere in the air: "Enough, you are not welcome here. Come, send this man to the police station and make him pay for his actions. At the same time, I want to know who let him in. How can we allow such scum to trample on our Gu family's place at will!"
Following Gu Yechen's order, the well-trained bodyguards acted quickly, surrounded Su Qian, who was still trying to explain himself, and took him away from the scene without any explanation.
Chu Fei looked at Gu Yechen, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She whispered thank you, "Thank you." Then, she took Chu Chu's hand, and the two walked side by side to the second floor, revealing a hint of relief and strength in their backs.
Returning to the second floor, Chu Fei gently closed the door, turned to Chu Chu and said, "Chu Chu, I know you meant well and wanted to protect me, but this incident has truly exceeded our expectations. After the video was released, public opinion surged like a tide. Although most people sided with us, there were also some discordant voices accusing and speculating about me. This makes me feel helpless and powerless."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu hugged her sister tighter and comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here. I know you and I know you're not that kind of person. Those who make malicious speculations are just keyboard warriors. We don't need to take their words to heart."
Chuchu hurriedly unlocked her phone, the screen lighting up. With a flick of her finger, the familiar app icon came into view. She quickly scrolled through the user comments, her brow furrowing. The comments were tinged with an uncanny aura. "This is ridiculous! How can these people be so rash in their judgment? I need to have Mr. Gu call the person in charge of this platform. They need to fix this mess. Delete all that nonsense and shut up those gossipers!" Chuchu's tone was filled with undeniable resolve.
Chu Fei, standing nearby, sighed softly, her eyes filled with helplessness and understanding. "Chu Chu, forget it. Public opinion is a double-edged sword; it can make or break people. Everyone has their own perspective and opinions, just like everyone has a different interpretation of Hamlet. We can't force everyone to agree."
However, Chuchu's mind had already flown in another direction. She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Oh, by the way, sister, you are now a pianist that everyone is paying attention to. Don't forget that there is a competitor eyeing you covetously. Maybe she is behind these negative comments, secretly manipulating the online community to add fuel to the fire."
At this point, Chuchu's eyes became more determined. "Sister, just focus on preparing for the upcoming performance and let those notes be your most powerful response. As for these disturbances and the conspiracy behind them, leave them to me. I'm going to find Uncle Gu now and ask him to help investigate and give you a clear internet environment."
"School will start in a few days, and you will have military training then..." Before Chu Fei could finish her words, Chu Chu rushed down.
Gu Yechen, a sixty-year-old, seasoned business tycoon, stands at another crossroads in his life. The ravages of time have left deep marks on his face, yet they cannot conceal his eyes, still sharp and full of wisdom. Fifteen years ago, the sudden car accident that took the life of his only son remains a lingering pain. Now, facing the impending burden of unloading the business, the giant ship of the Gu Group seems to have no suitable helm.
The decision to remarry brought Song Yaqing and her four children into his world. Although they built a loving family together, each child had distinct interests and dreams. Chu Fei immersed herself in the vast sea of medical knowledge, pursuing the lofty ideal of saving lives and healing the wounded; Chu An was passionate about education, eager to sow the seeds of knowledge from the podium; and Chu Lei, still exploring the university campus, had aspirations of becoming a photographer, capturing life's moments and preserving beautiful memories. Each seemed at odds with the treacherous world of business.
Only Chuchu, with her exceptional wit and ingenuity, gradually became the shining light of hope in Gu Yechen's heart. She possessed not only a keen business sense but also a tenacious and responsible heart. Gu Yechen had imagined countless times the day he would pass the baton of the Gu Group to Chuchu, allowing her to lead this massive enterprise forward.
However, when Gu Yechen formally proposed this idea, Chuchu politely declined. She stood by the study window, sunlight filtering through the slits in the curtains onto her face, illuminating it with a hint of determination and helplessness. "Dad Gu, I know you have high expectations of me, but my sister's situation is worrying me. Those online comments are truly outrageous; you can't just ignore them," Chuchu said, her tone filled with anxiety and pleading.
Hearing this, Gu Yechen curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with light words: "Chu Chu, I will handle these things, don't worry. However, your mother and I are planning to go abroad soon to deal with some personal matters. As for the company, I really hope you can take over temporarily. Didn't you always say that you wanted to challenge yourself? This is a rare opportunity."
