“Daddy and Mommy were childhood sweethearts and when they were a couple, Daddy hadn’t met your mother yet which is why things are like this today. I know you hold a lot of anger towards me for taking all of Daddy’s love from you but I’ve always been making it up to you. It’ll be the same from now on too, you can hit me or scold me when you’re angry but please don’t treat Daddy like this, okay?”Gu Xue’er spoke with a lot of emotion so Madam Gu’s reputation quickly turned around for the better.Gu Tianxiang’s eyes glimmered before he quickly agreed, “Xue’er is right, I hadn’t met your mother then.”“Heh~” Gu Xi chuckled. “Then you’re quite something, Daddy. I was born three months into your one-year marriage with my mother but Gu Xue’er is only my senior by two months. That’s quite weird, don’t you think?”The mocking tone in Gu Xi’s voice was obvious.In the beginning, everyone had originally thought Gu Xue’er was a baby born out of a proper marriage but now it was obvious Gu Tian
“My daughter doesn’t know any better so I ask that everyone not take her words to heart.” If it were only a couple of people threatening to quit, Gu Tianxiang would not have said anything, but so many people were in on the threat that he had no choice but to step forward and speak up!While he tried to maintain his composure as he explained with a smile, Gu Tianxiang felt that he had never been so wronged in his life before.Furthermore, his own daughter was the one embarrassing him!Gu Tianxiang heaved a deep sigh; although he seemed calm on the outside and looked at Gu Xi as if she was acting like nothing more than a spoiled brat in his eyes, he was actually panicking internally!After all, Gu Xi had just said that she was the shareholder of the Gu Family Group with the most shares…Gu Tianxiang forcefully dissipated the haze in his heart and regained his usual expression. “My second marriage affected my daughters significantly and as their father, I certainly didn’t consider th
“You, you…” Gu Tianxiang pointed at Gu Xi with a trembling finger, his face ashen with rage.“I never knew President Gu treated my younger sister like this…” At this moment, Qiao Zhen stood up and looked coldly at Gu Tianxiang.“Do you think the people of the Qiao family are easy targets?”Everyone’s gazes immediately shifted to his direction.“Who is that?”“He called Gu Xi his younger sister, does Gu Xi have an elder brother?”“Qiao family, which Qiao family?”“How many Qiao families are there in Wan City?”“That can’t be…”Gu Tianxiang’s face went pale.The Qiao family was definitely a family he could not afford to offend and since before this, he had always had Gu Xi under his control, the Qiao family had never done anything to him. Things were different now. Gu Tianxiang had realized that Gu Xi was no longer under his control!If it were not for the help of Gu Xi, the Qiao family might have already dealt with him with absolutely zero restraint.There was also the Xing
The employee knew for sure Gu Xi had the right to fire him so he was not afraid in the slightest because if he rallied everybody else to quit, what could she do to stop him?“Since you already know that, why aren’t you leaving yet?” However, nobody expected Gu Xi to calmly ask them such a question before she left with Qiao Zhen, not even sparing a glance at the employee.“Just you wait!” The man spat before he led his people out of the hotel.Gu Tianxiang and his family were left behind with only a few words in their minds. ‘We’re done for…’Gu Xi settled the Gu Family Group’s major reforms in a few days; she replaced all the employees with her own people and since she did not know much about running a company, Qiao Zhen provided her with the most assistance. Gu Tianxiang was naturally dismissed from his position but since he was no idiot, he exchanged 30% of his shares for the entertainment company under the banner of the Gu Family Group.Although there was a lot of commotion c
“Yes… He came looking for me and asked me for my help, I couldn’t say no to him…” Li Limi admitted shamefully.Although she knew Han Lei was not a good man, her feelings for him made it hard for her to reject him.“You’re really…” Gu Xi shook her head before saying, “acting just like I once did.”She had originally wanted to say something else but she remembered how she was before; was she not willing to do anything for Han Lei before as well?“Don’t worry, I’ve only agreed to act in this drama. I won’t be participating in anything else besides this, so I won’t be interacting with them anymore.” Li Limi promised once she noticed Gu Xi’s weary expression.“You couldn’t reject him this time. What makes you think you can reject him next time?” Gu Xi asked in bewilderment.Li Limi bit her lip in embarrassment.What Gu Xi said was true; she could not reject him this time so would she be able to reject him next time, or the following times?Gu Xi studied her perplexed expression; she
“Baby, you don’t have class tomorrow so aren’t you coming home?” Gu Xi’s phone went off with a notification; it was a message from her beloved darling.Gu Xi looked at it, flabbergasted. “How did you know?”“Hmm… Your chancellor told me.” Xing Beiyan would never admit to the fact that he had somebody spying on her.However. even if she found out, she would not mind either way. After all, Gu Xi indulged Xing Beiyan in anything he did. It did not matter if he had somebody tail her or monitor her, she would not care at all.Besides that, she might even find it weird if her husband called off all surveillance one day.“Then… Are we going out for a meal now?” Li Limi suggested once she noticed Gu Xi replying messages.Ever since she stopped hanging out with Gu Xue’er, she had never bothered to find new friends as well.Li Limi could not pinpoint the specific emotion she felt towards Gu Xi; there was guilt and a little gratefulness, but also a lack of disdain and maybe a little envy t
“Heh… Then I look forward to that day very much.” Gu Xi had just offered a meal out of courtesy and most people would reject such an offer out of politeness, so she had certainly never expected Lin Xinhan to accept.His acceptance had shocked Gu Xi once more.As he observed her slightly embarrassed expression, Lin Xinhan’s beaming expression became even more prominent.“That works too. I’ll write down your name and then I’ll get in touch with you when the time comes.” Since she had offered, Gu Xi naturally would not go back on her word. Besides, it was just one meal.“Hmm? My name’s Han and here’s how you can contact me…” He told her his phone number, his voice pleasant to ears.Gu Xi saved it to her phone, feeling slightly astonished at the fact that there was another person in the world who had a voice almost as pleasant as her husband’s.She shook her head to dismiss the thought before she waved goodbye to the pair, the skateboard in her grip as she left.This was still someo
Nobody expected Gu Xi to ask in a pitiful tone, “Why aren’t you answering me, you don’t want to come to my house? You’re not going to give your sister-in-law the time of day?”Ruan Meng’er quickly nodded her head with a happy expression once she noticed Xing Beiyan’s furrowed eyebrows. “How could that be, I’m just worried about bothering you both.”“You won’t be, don’t worry.” Gu Xi promised confidently.As soon as they arrived at the Xing residence, Gu Xi set her backpack down and immediately headed into the kitchen just as she had said.Scrumptious dishes soon filled the dinner table.Gu Xi even enthusiastically prepared a bowl of soup for Ruan Meng’er, which she passed to the latter with a smile.After Ruan Meng’er took the first sip, her expression shifted into something inexplicable.“Why, is it bad?” Unfortunately, Gu Xi just had to pick this moment to ask her a question with an expectant look on her face.“It’s, it’s great…” Ruan Meng’er forced a smile onto her face as s
