Chapter 1619 - Gave Them a Way out
Grandfather Gu"s reaction was out of Gu Zhiqian"s expectation. Initially, he thought his grandfather would be angry and scold him after learning this, but he was not.
A trembling hand reached out and grabbed Gu Zhiqian. "Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will give your brothers and sisters a way out..."
Gu Zhiqian felt complicated at this moment. Even though he yearned for the love of his grandfather, Gu Zhilin and the other siblings still mattered more to the old man than himself.
"Zhiqian, promise me..." Grandfather Gu held on tightly to Gu Zhiqian, "they are your biological brothers and sisters. They have the same father as you..."
"Okay, I promise," Gu Zhiqian replied sincerely.
Gu Zhiqian"s answer seemed to relieve Grandfather Gu all of a sudden. He withdrew his hand and looked at the ceiling, "I will not be concerned about the company nor the family anymore. There is nothing I can do about it. Gu Zhilin does not possess any potential. I should have known that the company would be brought down by him sooner or later. At that point, you can do whatever you want. After all, you are also part of the Gu Family..."
Outside the ward, Gu Zhihuan had gradually stopped crying. Her attention towards Gu Zhilin was diverted to Gu Zhiqian, who was still in the room.
"What exactly is Grandpa saying to him?!"
She pressed her ear against the door, but nothing could be heard. She was worried to death.
Gu Zhilin sat there with a dejected expression on his face. His grandfather reprimanded him, Gu Zhihuan and Gu Zhiming created a scene, and now Gu Zhiqian was still alone with his grandfather. All of this made Gu Zhilin restless.
Several family members and shareholders glanced at Gu Zhilin and whispered among each other. Everyone knew that Gu Zhilin had recently made a mess of the company, and the old man"s illness this time resulted from his anger towards him. Before the sickness struck, the old man was reprimanding Gu Zhilin when he suddenly fell to the ground.
There was a feeling of unease among everyone. Gu Zhilin was incapable of leading. Gu Zhilin would inherit the Gu family and the company if the old man died. This would result in the company losing all its value.
Upon hearing the whispers and concerns of those people, Gu Zhilin"s expression instantly darkened. Fang Hua was sitting next to Gu Zhilin, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. There was no comforting word for Gu Zhilin from her as if she was not concerned about the old man"s health.
Anger filled Gu Zhilin"s heart. Despite being the head of the family, he was a coward!
Her eyes were fixed on the pregnant Guan Meiyi and Zhao Huimin, who took care of her. She carried a bag full of food and water for Guan Meiyi. The seat was even disinfected with a wet towel before Zhao Huimin let Guan Meiyi sit down.
Fang Hua stared at Guan Meiyi"s belly with a malicious gaze, as if she wished to shoot it through with her eyes.
Guan Meiyi, who was sitting not far away, felt uneasy. She subconsciously covered her belly with her hand while capturing Fang Hua"s hateful gaze when she raised her eyes.
