First Master Qi from Qi Kai?
Qi Feng?
Xi Xiaye’s starry eyes shrunk as she could not help but feel suspicious. After a while, she did not say anything either whist Mu Lingshi and Xiao Mei remained silent as they looked at her silently.
Moments after that, Xi Xiaye asked, “What’s the situation on VP Zhang Lan’s end?”
“I’ve just informed VP Zhang Lan and she has agreed to the meeting to conclude the first half of the year’s progress on the South River Project,” Xiao Mei responded.
Then, Xi Xiaye nodded. “Okay, let’s agree to the meeting then. Also, can you get a.s.sistant Lan to make time on Friday evening to accompany me for it.”
Lan Zilang was very familiar with Fuhua Real Estate. In fact, he was someone who had been in the business world for many years and knew the South River Project like the back of his hand. She wanted to bring him along so that she would not be taken advantage of.
Even Mu Yuchen was vigilant against Qi Feng and reminded her to be careful. She admitted that she was never good at playing tricks, so it was better to bring Lan Zilang along. Otherwise, he could also just replace her in attendance.
“Yes, CEO Xi!” Xiao Mei dared not to have doubts, so she quickly agreed.
When she saw Xiao Mei leave, Mu Lingshi asked softly, “Sis-in-law, is it Qi Feng?”
Xi Xiaye nodded and responded, “Yes, him. He’s returned to Qi Kai recently and is working with Qi Qiming. I think he’s planning on letting Qi Feng take over Qi Kai.”
As Xi Xiaye recalled Qi Lei’s matters, she could not help feeling sad for him. Now, Qi Lei was finally stable, so he did not need to leave City Z, but she heard that Qi Feng had arranged for Xi Xinyi to work with Qi Lei. She did not know how things were like right now.
“Qi Feng…” Mu Lingshi muttered softly while her eyes contained a mix of emotions.
Her relationship with Gu Lingsha…
In fact, Qi Feng and Mu Yuchen’s relationship…
“Don’t worry. Your brother knows what he’s doing, so don’t fret about it. Let’s go!”
Xi Xiaye walked ahead first. Mu Lingshi hesitated for a moment, then finally followed after her.
…
Inside the Gu family mansion in City Z, Gu Qiwu’s stern face revealed a sneer of disdain as he sat down leisurely on the rattan chair in his backyard. With an indifferent expression, he looked at Doris who stood by the staircase with an expression that indicated a storm was to come.
He had just gotten home. After the court made its verdict, he went straight home. He and Doris would be handling divorce procedures very soon. Of course, she only managed to get compensation for psychological damage, and that amount was but a drop in the ocean for him.
Thus, Doris was obviously unhappy about it. She definitely did not expect Gu Qiwu to have another trick up his sleeve.
“I really didn’t expect you to trick me like that, Gu Qiwu. We’ve been married for many years. Who am I to you?” Doris’s voice was heard through gritted teeth, and anyone could hear the gloom and suppressed anger in it.
Gu Qiwu took a casual sip of his tea. His expression was cold as he said with a poker face, “Well then, who am I to you? Doris, you’re a smart person. Back when you got married to me, I already told you that as long as you do your part well and be a good Madam Gu, I wouldn’t treat you badly. All these years, ask yourself when have I ever treated you unfairly?”
“Gu Qiwu, don’t cast aside the fact that you cheated on me. Did you treat me well? Do you dare say that you treated me well? What’s up with Mu Lingshi, and Mu Lingtian? Explain to me then! You hooked up with Mu Zi behind my back, and you even had a golden house to hide your mistress. Do you think I’m deaf and dumb? Didn’t you purchase Xiang She Residence for Mu Zi? No wonder you were so mysterious about just razing the place to the ground. You were worried that I’d find out about something, weren’t you?” Doris said as she pointed angrily at him.
At this point, Gu Qiwu did not hide his scorn as he sneered, “Yes, and what about it? Before I married you, Mu Zi and I already had Lingtian. Besides, weren’t you hinting about wanting to marry me back then too? I just made your dream come through. You married me for close to 30 years and enjoyed high status and great wealth. Have I ever treated you badly? Isn’t Lingsha doing just fine? You should be grateful that Lingsha’s my daughter. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be the way things end for you!” Gu Qiwu’s tone was exceptionally gloomy while his eyes filled with a sinister light.
“You lied to me! Gu Qiwu, you despicable person!” Doris complained coldly.
Gu Qiwu only forced a cold smile. “Doris, you should know how I feel about you. If you didn’t do that to me and were a good Madam Gu, I could’ve let that contract be valid if I wanted it to be. Sadly, you are an insidious woman filled with schemes, so you don’t deserve my goodwill. You are great, and you’re the only woman I’ve had my eyes on all these years. That’s right, but you were wrong about thinking so highly of yourself!”
His words were like a cold breeze from the Arctic, instantly submerging Doris in a frigid state.
She shuddered, unable to believe such heartless words would come from Gu Qiwu, her former husband who had once expressed how much he had loved her!
Doris admitted that she was a pretty heartless person, but back then when she thought of betraying Gu Qiwu and wanted to ask for a divorce, at least, she had struggled hard with the decision. However, now, what was with Gu Qiwu’s att.i.tude?
How terrifying!
What a cold and heartless man!
“Gu Qiwu, you’re a truly despicable and shameless man! Turns out you were lying to me all these years, huh? You just wanted to harp on my power, didn’t you?” Doris asked.
“Why else then? I admit that you are indeed a beautiful, charismatic woman, and there are a lot of benefits that come with marrying you. I obviously wouldn’t reject them, but to truly serve a woman like you isn’t an easy thing to do. You wouldn’t face me unless I presented you with even bigger benefits. You have what it takes for me to be infatuated with you, but sadly, you’re too ambitious!”
Towards the end, Gu Qiwu’s voice suddenly became stern. As he set aside the teacup in his hand harshly, the clear sound it made pierced through the stifling silence.
“You were a woman who slept by my side. Haven’t you always been scheming against me at all times, thinking about how to get the Hui Gu Corporation from me? Doris, you were too greedy and you didn’t know how to be content. You didn’t know how to play your part. Did you really think I’d be so silly to let you plot against me while I did nothing in return?”
Gu Qiwu’s chilly voice contained a hint of disdain. He looked up with those dark eyes and fixed them on her exquisitely beautiful face while it seemed like a hint of regret and sadness were palpable in his eyes.
