Chapter 1356: Destroy Your Reputation (5)
In the Gu family’s mansion
At this moment, Xu Hong was excitedly running to the room of Gu Zhiqian’s mother, Zhao Huimin. As soon as she entered the room, she said loudly, “Sister, I’ve already arranged everything!”
Zhao Huimin was dissatisfied with her elder sister-in-law on her mother’s side’s vulgar behavior, but the graceful Zhao Huimin only frowned slightly. “I think it’s better to forget about it. I’m afraid…”
Xu Hong rolled her eyes. “What are you afraid of?” Seeing that Zhao Huimin was still a little hesitant, Xu Hong continued, “People say that Zhiqian is a playboy. Even if it’s just for the sake of the Gu family’s reputation, we still have to do this. Besides, I’ve already arranged it!”
Zhao Huimin thought about it for a moment. “Zhiqian is my only son. Up until now, he still doesn’t even have a woman by his side. I’m really worried about him.”
Although the Gu Corporation didn’t have as high a status as the Yuan Teng Corporation, it was still quite a powerful corporation in the country.
That year, Zhao Huimin married into the Gu family through marriage to Gu Debang, the son of Old Master Gu, as a second wife. Gu Debang already had two sons and a daughter. Everyone said that it wouldn’t be easy to be a stepmother, so it was even more difficult to be a stepmother in a wealthy family. Not long after, she gave birth to Gu Zhiqian. She thought that if she gave birth to a son, her status in the Gu family would improve from then on. However, she didn’t expect that Old Master Gu would favor the first wife’s child. The young Gu Zhiqian had been set up by his older brothers and sisters many times, and that caused Old Master Gu to dislike him even more.
When Gu Debang was still alive, things were a little better. However, Gu Debang fell ill and died prematurely. After that, Zhao Huimin and Gu Zhiqian’s days in the Gu family were even more difficult.
Fortunately, Gu Zhiqian was very smart. As he grew up, it was impossible for his brothers and sisters to plot against him anymore.
However, Gu Zhiqian had always been cynical and arrogant. He didn’t fight for the right to inheritance as an heir, but insisted on becoming a movie star instead. There was a lot of gossip outside, but he had never had a serious girlfriend.
Old Master Gu already had a prejudice against Gu Zhiqian. After the incident with w.a.n.g Manpeng, his att.i.tude towards the mother and son became even worse. Therefore, Zhao Huimin could only think of ways to rely on in-laws to make Gu Zhiqian create a family. Even a long-term girlfriend would ease the relations.h.i.+p between him and Old Master Gu.
“Is that girl reliable?” Zhao Huimin asked.
Xu Hong said confidently, “Yes! Are you still worried about the person I found? She’s very beautiful!”
“Then on Zhiqian’s side…”
Xu Hong chuckled, “Ugh, sis, I’m fully prepared this time. Just watch me!”
Zhao Huimin was eager to make Gu Zhiqian have a family. Now that Xu Hong said so, she could only accept it as a last resort.
“Then I’ll go and prepare!” Seeing that Zhao Huimin had agreed, Xu Hong left the Gu family’s mansion in a hurry. As soon as she left, she dialed a phone number. Her eyes sparkled. “My sister has agreed! Hurry up and let your daughter dress up well. After today, she will be a member of the Ruan Family!”
As she said this, Xu Hong turned to look at the Gu family’s mansion and whispered, “I helped your daughter sleep with Gu Zhiqian, so don’t forget the reward you promised me.” After receiving an affirmative answer from the other end of the phone, Xu Hong’s face lit up. Xu Hong’s face immediately broke out into a smile. “Don’t worry, if your daughter becomes Gu Zhiqian’s woman, from now on, she will be family. I will definitely take care of her!”
After returning home, Xu Hong began to prepare for the night. Zhao Huimin’s brother, Zhao Pingyi, was playing with his phone on the sofa as he spoke lazily, “Aren’t you afraid that Gu Zhiqian will be angry at you for doing this? Our entire family now depends on my sister to support us. What if you anger Gu Zhiqian and cause trouble for us?”
Xu Hong didn’t care and curled her lips. “What would you know? Zhiqian’s marriage is your sister’s problem. I’m doing this to solve your sister’s problem, not to mention that there’s money to be made!”
