Chapter 680: The Cui Family Argument
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“It was resolved so quickly? I’ve fought Nether King before. He’s not easy to deal with. You have to be careful.” Jiang Zi couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of Gu Man’s delicate appearance. “Why don’t you come to the company for the next few days? 1’11 protect you.”
“There’s no need for that. You’re a burden by my side.” Gu Man exposed Jiang Zi mercilessly, leaving him with no pride.
When Jiang Zi heard this, he was dealt a blow and said indignantly, “What do you mean? How am 1 a burden?”
Gu Man did not want to say anything else. She casually gave a few instructions and hung up.
She glanced at the missed call and picked it up. She had hung up in a hurry because Old Master Cui had called.
“Gu Man, Cui Ya is too outrageous.” Old Master Cui’s tone revealed deep helplessness.
Gu Man knew what it was immediately. It was probably because of the Ziwei Industry. This was indeed difficult for Cui Ya to accept when she did not know her true ident.i.ty, but even if Cui Ya really knew her ident.i.ty, it would probably be even harder for her to accept.
However, this was Old Master Cui’s kind intentions after all. She could not reject him. This situation had become a dead end.
“I’ll go over in a few days.” Gu Man thought about it and decided to take the initiative to see Cui Ya.
“You’re coming?! You still dare to come, you little b*tch? You won’t stop until you turn our house upside down, right?” Jia Ling’s voice was hoa.r.s.e and came clearly from the other end of the phone.
Old Master Cui’s angry voice sounded at the same time. “Jia Ling! Be more respectful. You’re the one who didn’t teach your child properly. Why are you blaming this on Man?”
“Old Master, 1 won’t say anything when you brought her back to treat Ah Mai. You’re actually handing such an important business to her now. What right do you have? She’s just an outsider. Can you understand?” Jia Ling was clearly in a fit of anger. She couldn’t care less about Old Master Cui’s dignity and confronted him.
Old Master Cui quickly hung up. He was probably afraid that Gu Man would think too much if she heard their conversation.
Gu Man looked at her cell phone and sighed. She wanted to go over, but her arrival would probably only add fuel to the fire. This matter was indeed troublesome, but her ident.i.ty had been exposed. It was even more troublesome than this.
If this matter could not be resolved well, she would give them some benefits to appease their anger and return the Ziwei Industry to Old Master Cui. He would definitely be unwilling. Instead of that, it was better to give them something that could appease Jia Ling and Cui Ya’s anger.
At this moment, the flames of war in the Cui Family had already ignited. Jia Ling couldn’t care less and rolled around. “You don’t even care about your biological granddaughter. Why are you caring about an outsider? Sometimes, I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Don’t blame me for speaking badly. Our family’s business has been in your hands since ancient times. How can you give it to outsiders?”
“When do I have to get your permission to make my decision? It’s my freedom to give anyone the empire I’ve built.” Old Master Cui’s expression was especially ugly. All along, although Jia Ling had some complaints about Old Master Cui stopping her from entering the Cui Family, she still appeared respectful on the surface. Now, she had completely fallen out with him.
However, Old Master Cui was even more disappointed. Although he was a businessman, he was even more afraid of benefits and did not want his huge family to be tainted by the word benefits. He did not expect that after working hard for many years, he would not be able to avoid disputes over benefits.
Jia Ling might have realized that her tone was a little bad. She paused and softened her tone. “Dad, I’m not complaining about you, but it’s fine that you’ve ignored Cui Ya and Cui Xuan since you were young. It’s inevitable that she’ll remember this because of this. After all, Gu Man is an outsider no matter what. What do you want them to think? Besides, you still have such an att.i.tude after the incident. It’s inevitable that the two of them will think too much.”
Under Jia Ling’s earnest advice and roundabout tactics, the expression on Old Master Cui’s face finally softened for a moment..
