When Gu Ziye and the others arrived at the hotel, they walked into the heated discussion people had about how Zhou Huaming had set his nephew up so he could keep the Yi Family Hotel to himself.

Gu Ziye and the others looked at each other.

They didn't understand what was going on.

The guests were all dining, but they were also talking about Zhou Huaming.

Gu Ziye was smart enough to know that this probably had to do with Xiao Lingyu.

He thought for a moment, then walked in and said with a smile, "CEO Zhou, it's an honor for us to serve you."

Zhou Huaming glared at Xiao Lingyu with an ashen face. He was furious. He was not expecting the set-up. He might not harbor ill intentions towards his nephew, but rumors were the scariest thing. Once it started to spread, the fake would become true.

He wanted to seal the lips of the people at the hotel, but he couldn't do that. Most guests at the hotel were respected members of society. The Zhou Family couldn't threaten all of them.

Therefore, the only thing Zhou Huaming could do to fix this was to make Xiao Lingyu take back her words and admit that she was lying. He finally knew what Xiao Lingyu was planning. She was never tempted by their money. She agreed with the invitation was to sow discord within the Zhou Family. She never intended to work with them. Since that was the case, he would not be polite to her anymore.

When he was about to strongarm Xiao Lingyu into making her confession, Gu Ziye walked over. He openly insulted him.

Gu Ziye looked at Zhou Huaming and pretended to be concerned, "CEO Zhou, you don't look so good. Are you not feeling well? Actually, let me tell you, our vegetables here are not only delicious but also good for the body. Many clients said they felt much better after eating here. So, CEO Zhuo, you should try some."

Everyone, "..." They sympathized with Zhou Huaming. And then, someone giggled. Zhuo Huaming came to his enemy's turf and was insulted.

The manager of the Gu Family Hotel was amazing too. He was young, but he had a sharp tongue. He didn't say a single bad word, but everything was a faceslap to Zhou Huaming.

Gu Ziye rambled on, not giving Zhou Huaming any time to react. Gu Ziye clapped his hands and uttered in mock surprise. "CEO Zhou, I heard that you had your cousin sent to jail so that he wouldn't steal the Yi Family Hotel from you. But I'm confused..."

Gu Ziye continued, "Haven't Old Master Zhou already made the announcement that all the assets of the Zhou Family will be given to your nephew? The Yi Family Hotel is part of that, right? Then, why is your nephew so anxious to fight you for it? Is it because you were not satisfied with the old man's decision and decided to share your hard-earned wealth with your two daughters instead?"

Xiao Lingyu's words were the firework base, and Gu Ziye was lighting it up. It made the rumors spread faster. The people there didn't know Xiao Lingyu, but they knew Gu Ziye. They knew about the history between the Gu Family and the Zhou Family.

They believed Gu Ziye's words because who would know you better than your enemy?

"Gu Ziye, shut up!" Zhou Huaming couldn't care about his image anymore. "Don't try to start a rumor. No one will believe you."

Gu Ziye smiled and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, CEO Zhou. I didn't know that was just a rumor. I merely repeated what I heard." Then, Gu Ziye added in pain. "Actually, CEO Zhou, I feel bad for you. We're already in modern society. No one should place so much importance on a boy over a girl anymore. Regardless of a child's gender, we should raise them equally.
