Chapter 637: The World Is Huge, Nothing Is Too Strange
Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to look at the man in front of her. His originally red hair had been dyed black. There was a hint of roguishness in his eyes but also a hint of steadiness. The previously reckless Gu Yao seemed to have become a different person.
Gu Yao seemed to have grown up overnight. He went from a child to a domineering man. He used his abilities to prove that he was not just a playboy. He could also manage the Gu family.
When Gu Zheng was around, Gu Yao could be the second young master of the Gu family in peace. But now that Gu Zheng was not around, he would definitely not let outsiders take over the Gu family. His image of a rich playboy was just a disguise. He was Gu Zheng’s younger brother, so he was naturally not bad.
At this moment, his gaze was sharp. The moment he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes turned slightly red as if he had a thousand things to say.
Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with gratification as she praised Gu Yao in her heart. She stood up to welcome him and was about to speak…
“Damn! I really have to take my hats off to you! I didn’t expect managing the company to be so tiring! Qiao Xi, I’ve been dealing with those old guys all day. I’m so annoyed!”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Where’s the domineering Gu Yao from earlier?’
Gu Yao cried and said, “Qiao Xi, I originally thought that being the president was easy, but I didn’t expect it to be so tiring! When will Gu Zheng recover? I really don’t want to manage this lousy company anymore! Why don’t you take over?”
Gu Zheng leaned against the hospital bed with a book in his hand. Without raising his head, he said, “I have nothing to do with Gu Corporation. I don’t have any shares and have no right to manage it.”
Gu Yao hurriedly said, “I’ll give you all my shares!”
Gu Zheng slowly lifted his eyes and said lightly, “I don’t want them. Gu Corporation is under your control.”
The ward suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Gu Yao widened his eyes in shock. “No way! You want to throw this mess to me? I’ve already been the acting president for a week. Do you want me to be the president for the rest of my life? Boo-hoo… Gu Zheng! You can’t do this to me! I’m just a playboy. ” n3wn0vel .0rg ” I’ve already used up all my energy to manage the company for a week. Don’t make things difficult for me!”
Qiao Xi listened to Gu Yao’s crying and even wondered how Gu Yao had the ability to fight with Lu Yan.
Gu Yao was like a pitiful puppy bouncing in front of the hospital bed. There were tears in his eyes as he said pitifully, “Gu Zheng, I’m your biological younger brother! You can’t treat me like this!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm. “How is the company doing now?”
At the mention of the company, Gu Yao’s confidence was boosted as he said proudly, “Don’t you know who I am? How can I let Lu Yan, that dog, snatch things from me? If I lose to him, where will I put my dignity in the future? But I didn’t expect this dog to have some skills. He actually…”
Gu Yao’s voice suddenly stopped. There was something that had been bothering him. Gu Zheng and Lu Yan both shared the same mother, but why did she only help Lu Yan and never cared about Gu Zheng?
Gu Zheng smirked. “Very good.”
Although it was just two words, it was still a compliment. If it were any other time, Gu Yao would have been so happy that his tail would be up in the air. But right now, his expression was dark. “Gu Zheng, I’m really tired. I don’t understand why Dad would do this to you.”
Actually, his parents doted on Gu Yao a lot and had never treated him badly since he was young. They would give him money and help him settle any trouble he caused. However, he had never experienced kinship in this family because everyone in this family was very cold and only cared about benefits.
For example, they were actually able to make a move on their biological son, Gu Zheng, for Lu Yan’s sake. In that case, wouldn’t they have to deal with him in the future as well?
For Lu Yan, they could give up their other two sons. Did they have to cause chaos in the family and kill each other?
“Of course, you don’t understand his thoughts,” Gu Zheng said nonchalantly.
Gu Yao was confused. Was there a reason behind this?
Then, Gu Zheng said seriously, “You’re a normal person. Of course, you wouldn’t understand the thoughts of a scumbag. The world is big, and there are all kinds of strange things. You guys aren’t of the same species, so there’s no need to understand his thoughts. You just have to be good and not lower yourself to the level of a retard.”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Is it really okay for you to say that your father is an idiot? You’re being unfilial!’
Chapter 638: Composer Fu Sheng
But in the next second, Gu Yao nodded in admiration. “You’re right! Why do I have to understand the thoughts of a retard?”
Qiao Xi was even more speechless. If Gu Weiming heard the brothers talking about him behind his back, he would probably be angered to death.
Although Gu Zheng was cold, he was sincere toward Gu Yao. Only Gu Zheng could make Gu Yao feel the existence of kinship, so after he found out that his parents had attacked Gu Zheng, he was completely disappointed in them.
Since he was young, Gu Zheng had taken care of him, educated him, and nurtured him so that he could distinguish right from wrong. That was why he had not been reduced to a cold-blooded person like his parents.
…
At the Xu family’s home.
Xu Anran’s eyes were slightly red. She rushed to the living room and held Xia Yunlou’s hand. “Mom! Have you heard? President Gu was in a car accident. He’s seriously injured and unconscious. I heard that this car accident was a murder attempt. Sister will definitely be implicated. Why don’t we quickly bring her back?”
At this time, the news on the internet had already caused an uproar. The official news reported that the brake line of Gu Zheng’s car was cut by someone, and a huge truck had directly crashed into Gu Zheng’s car. Fortunately, that car was bulletproof, so Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi survived. However, both of them were seriously injured.
Xu Anran’s eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, the Gu family is really too dangerous. Sister was lucky this time and managed to escape the calamity. But what should we do next time? Sister is your biological daughter. Are you going to watch her get killed?”
Xia Yunlou was silent for a moment before her eyes suddenly lit up. “You’re right. We have to bring Xi Xi back as soon as possible!”
Xu Anran was so anxious that she was tearing up. “The last time we went to visit my sister, there was a misunderstanding. Now that the netizens are scolding me, I can’t stay in the entertainment industry anymore. However, I’ve never blamed my sister. I only hope that she can let bygones be bygones and follow us home.”
Xia Yunlou had a loving look on her face. “Anran, you’re really my good daughter. The situation with your reputation is only temporary. After some time, everyone will forget about these trivial matters. As long as you donate money to charity, everyone will change their impression of you.”
Xu Anran frowned. All these years, she had spent a lot of money but did not manage to save much. Now, she could only allow herself to lose some benefits.
Suddenly, her manager sent a message to her. Xu Anran glanced at it and said happily, “Mom, I heard that there’s going to be a grand music festival held in the country.”
Xia Yunlou shook her head.
Xu Anran smiled and said, “This music festival is the most prestigious pop music competition in the country. All of the famous musicians in the country will be participating in it. If I can get first place in this competition, those people will probably stop scolding me!”
Xia Yunlou hesitated. “But you…”
“Mom, all these years, I’ve been learning how to write and compose. I’m confident that I can win an award in this competition. Even if I can’t win first place, I definitely won’t embarrass you guys.”
Xu Anran indeed did not have any talent in writing lyrics or composing songs. However, she had previously found a very talented composer on a small website. That person had posted a few songs online two years ago and there was no news of him after that. Xu Anran sent someone to investigate for a period of time and guessed that the person might have passed away.
Later on, she used her connections to get the website to remove all of that person’s works and claimed them to be hers. It seemed that the composer’s name was Fu Sheng.
Xu Anran smiled and said, “Mom, believe me. I’ll definitely win the award in the competition. But what should I do about my sister? What should I do to make her forgive me?”
At the mention of Qiao Xi, Xia Yunlou felt irritated and couldn’t help but roar. “I’m her mother! Do I need her forgiveness? She has already caused us to be scolded by netizens. What else does she want?!”
Xu Anran rolled her eyes. “Mom, if President Gu forgives me, will my younger sister also forgive me? After all, she’s President Gu’s wife. She has to listen to President Gu.”
Xia Yunlou suddenly looked up. “Yes! If President Gu forgives us and Qiao Xi still refuses to forgive us, then it just means she doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
In the hospital.
When Qin An came to check on them, he could not help but sigh. “The two of you are indeed much better than ordinary people. You’re recovering very quickly and there are no side effects.”
