Chu Yixi first visited Madam Chu the Second. Looking at her disheveled appearance, it was truly impossible to tell that she was the Madam Chu the Second and Miss Gu.
"Gu Ying, we meet again!"
Madam Chu glared fiercely at Chu Yixi, "I am your second aunt!"
Even though she was brought in by Chu Yixi, she still acted as if she had a perfectly justified attitude.
"Second Aunt? No, she's not anymore!" Chu Yixi chuckled, and then, quite eagerly, conveyed Chu Tianshun's identity and Old Master Chu's intentions to Second Madam Chu.
Of course, to avoid making Madam Chu disbelieve him, Chu Yixi considerately showed her the trending topics online.
Upon seeing the contents of her phone, Madam Chu's eyes turned bloodshot, and she roared almost frantically, "No! This isn't real! Are you lying to me?"
Back then, the reason why Madam Chu the Second got together with Chu Tianshun was entirely because he was the second young master of the Chu family.
One person wanted to leverage the Chu family's influence to elevate the Gu family's status, while the other needed a marriage partner to solidify their position and increase their power. The two became husband and wife because they shared the same goal.
But now Chu Yixi is telling him that Chu Tianshun is not actually a member of the Chu family, but just the son of Old Master Chu's old friend.
Chu Yixi wore a cruel smile as he took out his phone and showed the announcement published on the Chu Group's official WeChat account to Second Madam Chu. "Second Madam Chu, no, I should just call you Madam Chu now! Look, this is the Chu Group's announcement! You haven't seen it because you're in prison, but now everyone knows about it!"
Madam Chu sat limply in her chair, still looking incredulous, as if she couldn't accept the fact.
She spent most of her life, and this is what she got in return?
She originally thought that as the second wife of the Chu family, even if the old master Chu was angry, he wouldn't do anything to her, let alone kick Chu Tianshun out of the family.
But now, Chu Tianshun is not of the Chu family bloodline, so Old Master Chu can kick him out at will, and even his shares have been taken back by Old Master Chu.
Gu Ying roared angrily at Chu Yixi, "How could you be so heartless!"
Chu Yixi grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Heartless? Compared to you, we've been very merciful! If Chu Zhehong weren't over the age limit, we should have let you experience what it's like to have your woman trafficked!"
If Chu Zhehong weren't too old, he really would have wanted Chu Tianshun and his wife to experience what it's like to have their child abducted.
Of course, Chu Shumin is also an option, since she is still of a suitable age. However, she is not what this couple truly cares about; only boys are what they value most.
So Chu Shumin escaped this time because of her gender.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Yixi's words, Gu Ying pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You..."
"Madam Chu, I don't have time to waste here arguing with you. Today I'm here to tell you what's going on outside. And your son also needs to know about his origins, doesn't he?" Chu Yixi chuckled lightly. "I just don't know if the Gu family is still willing to go to great lengths to get you out of here after they find out about Chu Tianshun's background!"
Gu Ying was so angry that she gasped for breath, her hands gripping the front of her clothes tightly, as if she was about to faint from anger at any moment.
Her life has been a complete failure!
Gu Ying knew better than anyone what kind of people the Gu family were. Until now, they hadn't shown any sign of helping her, and now that they knew Chu Tianshun's identity, they were even less likely to come to her aid.
Just as Gu Ying had expected, the Gu family members naturally learned about the announcement online. When they saw Chu Tianshun's identity revealed online, they were all extremely shocked.
In particular, the Chu Group's subsequent swift and decisive actions directly severed its cooperation with the Gu Group.
These actions are all slaps in the face to Chu Tianshun's family and the Gu family.
After finally stabilizing the company's situation, the Gu family head and his son Gu Ziming sat in the office and talked.
Gu Ziming turned to look at his father, the head of the Gu family, "Dad, do you know that my uncle is not a member of the Chu family?"
At this moment, the head of the Gu family was also completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that Chu Tianshun was not a descendant of the Chu family.
Back then, they weren't that powerful, and they weren't qualified to learn about the Chu family's background. Moreover, they had been listening to stories about the Chu family ever since, and they never doubted Chu Tianshun's identity.
"I don't know either!"
Back then, the reason why Gu Ying, also known as the Second Madam Chu, was married to Chu Tianshun was precisely because he was the second young master of the Chu family.
It did indeed bring the Gu family a lot of cooperation and benefits afterward, giving them the opportunity to climb the social ladder by leveraging the Chu family's influence.
It can be said that the Gu family's current success is inextricably linked to Gu Ying's marriage to Chu Tianshun.
Gu Ziming was speechless at his father's answer.
"You guys are really carefree!"
Now, because Chu Tianshun's family is not of the Chu family bloodline, Old Master Chu can abandon them at will, and has even instructed Chu Yixi to take back the shares that were given to Chu Tianshun.
Moreover, the Chu family was willing to suffer losses to withdraw all ongoing collaborations, not to mention projects that had expired or had just begun. The Chu family had completely severed ties with them.
The Chu family hadn't made a move before because Chu Tianshun was a member of the Chu family, but now they had no such scruples.
The head of the Gu family scratched his head speechlessly, "Who could have imagined something like this!"
In a family like the Chu family, almost everyone grew up with Chu Tianshun. Who would have thought that he wasn't actually a member of the Chu family?
Who would bother investigating the Chu family's background for something like this?
Gu Ziming shut up. In fact, even if his father hadn't said anything, he would have thought the same thing.
"Now that Chu Tianshun has been expelled from the Chu family, the Chu family has severed all cooperation with us! Things at the company are in complete chaos lately!"
The head of the Gu family waved his hand, "This chaos is only temporary. How have things been between you and that Lin Xinyi lately?"
Gu Ziming smiled confidently. "Dad, don't worry, how could I possibly fail?"
"She used to pursue Chu Yiting!"
After Liu Zixing helped them find Lin Xinyi, they naturally investigated her identity and deeds, and learned that she had worked for the Chu Group and that she went to the Chu Group for Chu Yiting.
However, he later met Tang Bao and was "framed" by her and expelled.
However, none of this matters to those who care about their families. What matters is that Lin Xinyi can help them take care of their families, and that's enough.
