Chapter 686: Can’t Run Away From What Was Destined
Gu Qingjiu had the same thoughts. Of course, she wouldn’t be a busybody and abruptly interfere in this matter.
It was rare for her and Helian Niancheng to get intimate with each other, so they did that for a while. She even stayed around for the weekend before returning to school.
Her winning the nationwide shooting compet.i.tion invoked a tremendous response in school.
Of course, the school’s leaders were extremely pleased with her.
On Monday’s school a.s.sembly, they praised Gu Qingjiu to the skies.
Then, according to the military schools’ custom, they encouraged Gu Qingjiu to continue to work hard.
On top of one hundred thousand yuan’s prize money from the nationwide shooting compet.i.tion, the school gave her an additional ten thousand yuan.
Although the amount wasn’t a lot, they were pretty generous with the military points, awarding Gu Qingjiu five points for her accomplishment.
There were many advantages to having military points.
All in all, by winning this champions.h.i.+p, Gu Qingjiu was set for a bright future.
Gu Qian and Chu Lian naturally pestered Gu Qingjiu to treat them to a meal.
And just then, after having not heard anything from her Great Aunt for a long while, her Great Aunt finally brought her news about the Yu family.
The longstanding aggrievedness in Gu Qingjiu’s heart finally had an outlet to vent.
At long last, she could be at ease.
The Yu family was now wholly hopeless.
After some hesitation, Gu Shouyan proposed to her company to take over the Yu Corporation, acting on Gu Qingjiu’s information back then.
The Yu family didn’t struggle for very long. Without Ye Huinan’s financial backing, they quickly reached the point of breakdown.
Despite Yu s.h.i.+wei’s desperate pleas, Ye Huinan didn’t change his mind about not helping them. Instead, he would tease Yu s.h.i.+wei from time to time while quietly allowing the takeover to take place.
As such, Gu Shouyan’s company acquired the Yu Corporation.
Regardless of how Yu Shaotian and Tan Yalan tried to hang on, they couldn’t reverse things from a devastated state.
The Yu family received a sum of money from this acquisition that could be considered a considerable amount of money for ordinary folks. But to the Yu family, who are used to living extravagantly and being fawned on by others, this was as good as going bankrupt.
Back when Yu s.h.i.+wei was clinging on to Ye Huinan in the capital, she at least had the t.i.tle of the Yu family’s Young Miss.
Now that they no longer had the Yu Corporation’s backing, a featherless phoenix was worse off than a chicken.
Moreover, she wasn’t any phoenix, to begin with.
Those capital socialites had long found this s.e.xy enchantress from another city an eyesore. After witnessing what had happened to the Yu Corporation, Yu s.h.i.+wei was nothing in Ye Huinan’s eyes.
They would point fingers at Yu s.h.i.+wei and gossip about her in private. Even the Young Miss of the Ye family cut off all contact with Yu s.h.i.+wei.
She had a hard time in the capital. If it weren’t because Ye Huinan hadn’t completely lost interest in her, she might not even have the chance to struggle.
However, the proud Yu s.h.i.+wei wasn’t one who will bow down to someone. With Ye Huinan treating her with increasing condescension, Yu s.h.i.+wei finally couldn’t take it any longer and get into a fight with Ye Huinan. He even treated her like one of those women he could bed simply by spending some money.
This thoroughly angered Ye Huinan.
Ye Huinan still had a bit of gentlemanliness in him and didn’t plot an act of revenge on Yu s.h.i.+wei and merely completely ditched her.
But without Ye Huinan’s protection, there were plenty of people in the capital waiting to deal with her.
Moreover, with her reputation as North City’s s.e.xiest enchantress and with the thought that Young Master Ye’s standards in women must be of a certain level, there were bound to be people who were still willing to keep her as a mistress.
But this wasn’t something that Yu s.h.i.+wei could tolerate. In her despair, she wanted to go back to North City, for she could at least live off with Tan Yalan and Yu Shaotian for some time.
However, just then, after many twists and turns, she still ended up running into Su Lingche.
