After a short while, someone said furiously, âQiao Xi, we pitied you and thatâs why we wanted to let you adopt our sons. If you donât have a son, whoâll care for you in the future?â
Bang!
Qiao Xi raised the teacup on the table and fiercely smashed it onto the ground, causing pieces of porcelain to scatter all over. The living room was completely silent and thick with killing intent.
âIâm only 20 years old. How can you be so sure that I wonât have a child? Do you think that I donât have the ability to conceive or is it Gu Zheng you donât believe in? Moreover, Gu Zheng and I have good genes. The children I give birth to will definitely be good-looking and smart. They wonât be as ugly as the children youâve given birth to. Itâll be embarrassing for me to acknowledge them as my sons!
âIf you can give birth, why canât I? How can you be so sure that I canât give birth to a perfect heir? Do you think that Gu Zheng is dead?â
Qiao Xiâs face turned dark as a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face. Since Gu Weiming wanted to blow things up, then she would fulfill his wish.
Gu Weiming had sent a few small fries from the Gu family to gather information. If Gu Zheng died, he would immediately collaborate with the Gu familyâs elders to elect Lu Yan to take over. If Gu Zheng hadnât died, he could also take the opportunity to anger Gu Zheng.
But he should not forget that even if Gu Zheng was not around, there was still the legitimate Mrs. Gu. If she wanted to deal with the useless people from the Gu branch family, it would be as easy as crushing a few ants.
At that moment, the reporters Song Shiyu had invited had already arrived. They were waiting outside the door with their cameras, ready to get first-hand news.
The moment Qiao Xi said that, the few of them looked extremely embarrassed. The father of the family suppressed his anger and said, âWe didnât say that, but President Gu was hit by a truck. There hasnât been any news for so many days, so he must be in trouble. We just wanted to give you a way out. Not only did you not thank us, but youâre even treating us so rudely!â
Qiao Xi sneered and asked with a lazy voice, âHe was hit by a truck?â
He continued, âYouâre still so young, so how can you have the ability to protect the Gu family? As long as you agree to adopt these children, we wonât make things difficult for you. You donât have to worry about anything in the future. Just take the money to shop and maintain your beauty.
âThese children have all grown up and become sensible. Thereâs no need for you to put in the effort to nurture them. Youâll have gained a few obedient sons for free. Youâll definitely thank us in the future.â
âThank you?â Qiao Xi raised her brows, her eyes filled with ridicule. âAll of you are doing such a shameless thing, yet you think Iâll thank you?â
The man seemed to have lost his patience as he roared in exasperation. âQiao Xi! Donât be so shameless! At the end of the day, youâre just an outsider. The corporation is called Gu Corporation. Itâs our Gu familyâs property! We have the qualifications to manage the company. If youâre willing to cooperate, then everything will naturally be negotiable. If youâre not, then be careful as you may not get anything in the end!â
A trace of a smile curled on the corners of Qiao Xiâs mouth as she looked coldly at him.
âHa, youâre threatening me?â
âDonât say that, Iâm telling the truth. Now that President Guâs life is in danger, what can a weak woman like you do? I advise you to cooperate with us obediently. Otherwiseââ
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, someone kicked open the door. Several cameras were aimed at the crowd, and the reporters started taking photos frenziedly.
The male reporter who kicked the door open stood in front of Qiao Xi and said indignantly, âWhat? Bullying a weak woman like Mrs. Gu? Donât you have any shame! If President Gu were here, would you still dare to do it?â
The people from the Gu branch family did not know what was going on. A few reporters rushed in front of them and pointed their microphones at them. They asked sharply, âAre you from the Gu branch family? Where did you hear about President Guâs accident?â
âEven if something really happened to President Gu, President Guâs younger brother, Gu Yao, should be the one to inherit the family business. What right do you have to force Mrs. Gu to give the inheritance rights to your children?â
âYou should look in the mirror and take a look at your greedy faces. Theyâre disgusting!â
It was only then that the members of the Gu branch family realized that the room was full of reporters.
âMrs. Gu, why did you invite the reporters here? This is a matter of our Gu family. You canât change anything even if you invite them over. Letâs have a good talk in private. If this matter blows up, it wonât be good for the Gu familyâs reputation.â
