Gu Ming'en was just saying it in anger, and Gu Qihang knew it.
He didn't take those words to heart.
Because the Gu family was small, he was the only biological descendant of the direct line in this generation.
But Gu Nianqiang, who was eavesdropping outside the door, felt a jolt in her heart.
She suddenly felt a pang of panic.
What does Gu Ming'en mean?
If Jiang Yilai is recognized as a member of the Gu family, then she can also become the heir of the Gu family.
No, that won't happen!
Gu Qihang is Gu Ming'en's only biological son!
Hearing footsteps in the study, Gu Nianqiang quickly turned around and went back to her room.
But she kept recalling Gu Ming'en's words.
Her fear and resentment towards Jiang Yilai reached its peak once again.
Why does Jiang Yilai always try to steal her things?
She won't let her have her way!
In the darkness, Gu Nianqiang clenched her fists, her eyes suddenly blazing with murderous intent.
The next day.
When Jiang Yilai woke up, the room next to her was empty.
She subconsciously touched the spot next to her; it was ice-cold, indicating that the person had been gone for a long time.
She sat up, still somewhat disoriented.
Was last night's memory real?
Looking at the empty room, Jiang Yilai felt somewhat dazed and lost.
She tidied up and went downstairs.
As soon as Uncle Liu saw her, he waved and said, "Madam, you're awake? Come and have breakfast."
Jiang Yilai walked over.
On the dining table, besides a sumptuous breakfast, there was a large bouquet of vibrant roses next to her.
It's a really big bunch.
Jiang Yilai's gaze was immediately drawn to the flowers, and she looked surprised.
Uncle Liu smiled broadly: "Madam, this was specially prepared for you by the master this morning."
"Fu... Fu Nanxiao?"
"Yes! The master instructed someone to deliver it early this morning. He went to the company first today and said he would come back tonight to have dinner with you. He asked you to wait for him."
As Jiang Yilai gazed at the fiery red blooming roses, a blush slowly rose to the tips of her ears.
The disappointment I felt earlier vanished instantly.
She couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Liu, could you please find a vase and put the roses in it?"
"Okay!"
Uncle Liu beamed with joy, feeling secretly delighted.
Roses!
I never expected my husband to do something so romantic.
It seems the grandson the old lady wanted is coming soon!
In the morning, Jiang Yilai intended to go find Liang Jiayun.
Her courses for this semester are almost finished, and she needs to start looking for an internship.
Although Liang Jiayun had introduced her to two law firms last time, she still felt uneasy about Gu Qihang's threats, so she wanted to go and find out more from him first.
But before she could contact Liang Jiayun, she received a call from Jiang Weijie.
On the phone, his voice was filled with anxiety and anger: "Eli, how's the money?! The bank people came to the company to press for repayment. There are only three days left. If the money isn't paid back within three days, they're going to take over the building!"
Jiang Yilai said slowly, "What's the rush? Don't worry, I won't give up what my mother left me."
"Then give me a straight answer: when exactly will the funds arrive?"
Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?
Jiang Yilai spoke casually, which instantly enraged Jiang Weijie.
"What are you doing? If you can't raise the money, I'll... I'll..."
He talked for a long time but couldn't say anything.
Jiang Weijie then realized that he had been careless!
He originally intended to have Jiang Yilai raise the money, and then kick her out of the game once he had the money.
Anyway, the building is in his hands, so he can say whatever he wants when the time comes.
