Gritting his teeth, Gu Ziye finally gave Rong Qi’s Weibo post a “like” on social media. Initially, he had been torn about it, but the moment he hit the like b.u.t.ton, he felt an immense sense of relief wash over him.
“I got this. Haha!” Gu Ziye looked up at the ceiling and let out three hearty laughs.
Just then, he saw his sister, Gu Yuyan, come downstairs with her bag, appearing to be on her way out.
Mrs. Gu furrowed her brows. “Yuyan, where are you going?”
Stopping in her tracks, Gu Yuyan replied, “I have something to take care of.”
“You’re going to see Nanshen, aren’t you?” Mrs. Gu saw through her intentions instantly.
Gu Yuyan stood still, her face a mask of solemnity.
Mrs. Gu sighed. “Yuyan, you were the one who wanted to break up with him in the first place. Do you really think he’d even give you a second glance now? Especially after what happened at the banquet yesterday. Do you know what happened to Ding Ziqiu and Zheng Zhixuan? Don’t be foolish; at least you can still be friends.”
Her face contorted with emotion, Gu Yuyan sneered, “Friends? I don’t want to be his friend! I’ve been his fiancee for over a decade. The only woman who can be Nanshen’s wife is me.”
Mrs. Gu’s expression turned icy, but before Gu Yuyan could say anything, Gu Yuyan stormed out with her bag. As Gu Yuyan was leaving, she cast a glance at Gu Ziye, “Remember, you’re my younger brother. Don’t betray me, or I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life.”
With that, Gu Yuyan stubbornly walked away.
Gu Ziye held his phone, his emotions a swirl of complexities. When they were young and their parents were busy with business, it had always been Gu Yuyan who had looked after him. She had also protected him from being bullied in the tumultuous world of power and influence. Their relationship had been strong, but now, something seemed amiss.
Conflicted, Gu Ziye rubbed his temples, feeling utterly stressed. On one side was his brotherhood, on the other his sister, and yet another was the Camellia he genuinely admired. He was torn.
Mrs. Gu was equally troubled, her face flushed with suppressed anger as she sat on the sofa. However, before she could vent her frustrations, Gu Ziye, who was staring at his phone, suddenly exclaimed in shock.
“What the h.e.l.l? Are they trying to confront me directly?”
The previous dilemma instantly took a backseat as his face darkened.
Whenever it came to Jingsheng Corporation, Gu Ziye always managed to astonish everyone with his seriousness. Without waiting for Mrs. Gu to inquire, he stood up and started dialing as he walked out, “Shen, Rong Qi is being targeted by Ye Group.”
On Rong Qi’s Weibo post, Ye Shaochen, the person in charge of Ye Group, had personally liked and commented on it.
Ye Shaochen: [It’s an honor to witness Camellia’s return. Looking forward to future collaborations with Miss Camellia.]
Seeing that comment rapidly climb to the top rank angered Gu Ziye to no end.
“What the h.e.l.l, can this guy never leave us alone? Is he trying to steal Qiyan Studio from Jing Sheng right under our noses? Could he be any more obvious?”
Angry as he was, Gu Ziye still managed to keep his cool, refraining from venting his frustrations.
‘After all, Shen was also a stakeholder in Ye Group—although he held no power there.’ Gu Ziye thought.
“Shen, what should we do now? Should I brief Rong Qi, so she doesn’t accidentally collaborate with Ye Group? Is Rong Qi with you?”
However, a chilly voice came from the other end of the line, “No, she’s not. Don’t involve her in Ye Group matters. I’ll handle it.”
Taking a deep breath, Gu Ziye hung up the phone. Yet he couldn’t shake off the discomfort; just seeing Ye Shaochen made his skin crawl.
‘Enough is enough. The more I endured, the angrier I became; the more I stepped back, the more aggrieved I felt.’ Gu Ziye thought.
With a stern face, Gu Ziye opened his social media and changed his username to ‘Jingsheng-Young Master Gu’, then proceeded to Rong Qi’s comment section. He refused to let this slide..
