In the meeting room of Gu Corporation.
“Everyone is here. Let’s begin.”
The marketing planner was reporting the quarterly summary with his slides projected on the wall behind him. But Young Master Gu’s gaze on him only made him more flustered and fearful. Fortunately, Young Master Gu did not say anything.
After a year away, Young Master Gu’s body had become even stronger. The planner even felt a little suffocated just by looking at him.
Gu Liao looked at the only person left in the meeting room. “Grandfather.”
“Yes, I’ve met Xie Ru. She made a good impression, but remember, none of the daughters-in-law of the Gu family are sound.”
“I know, Grandfather.”
“Your parents are abroad, so I can rest assured that you will take care of the family business well. As such, you will need a good wife to help you. But you don’t have to worry about Xie Ru. I will make the necessary arrangements.”
“Grandfather, what are you planning to do?”
“I’ve already given the courtyard house in the capital to Xie Ru and I have the Gu family’s shares with me. So she doesn’t have to worry much while living in the capital.”
Gu Liao then told the entire story of the Xie family’s second son’s plan to take the shares away from Xie Ru. Old Master Gu cursed. The Xie family was still as petty as ever.
“Grandfather, if we don’t talk about Xie Ru now, I’m afraid-”
Gu Liao’s heart trembled when he said this. Was Xie Ru already so important to him?
“Gu Liao, I will still say the same thing. I hope you can make your own judgment.”
Gu Liao nodded. After pondering for a moment, he strode out of the meeting room.
“Young Master Gu, Xie Wutong is outside the office. She wants to see you.”
“No.”
Someone would report to him about what happened in Gu Corporation every day. As such, Xie Wutong’s frequent appearance at the building would have been reported to him already. This woman’s thoughts were written all over her face, making him feel even more disgusted.
“Young Master Gu, Xie Wutong said that Young Madam is missing.”
“What?” Gu Liao suddenly jumped up from his seat. “Let her in.”
This was Xie Wutong’s first time stepping into this place, and her heart felt like it was pounding wildly. The Gu Corporation’s building was indeed much more magnanimous than the Xie Corporation’s. Once she became the young madam of the Gu family, this place would be in hers.
Those young ladies of the capital would die of envy. Xie Wutong sneered at that thought and tidied up her dress. This was the most beautiful dress she had found in Xie Ru’s wardrobe. It would be a waste for Xie Ru to wear it.
With the dress on her as well as that medication, seducing Gu Liao would be easier.
“You said Xie Ru disappeared? What’s going on?”
Gu Liao looked coldly at Xie Wutong. This woman dared to wear Xie Ru’s clothes. Just how did Aunt Chen handle things? Xie Ru couldn’t even see with one eye. Could it be that Aunt Chen was the same?
Xie Wutong felt like she was trapped in an ice cellar under Gu Liao’s gaze. The smile on her face almost fell. What kind of seductive ability did this Xie Ru have to leave such a deep impression in Gu Liao’s heart?
Fortunately, that woman would disappear without a trace from today onwards, never to appear in front of all of them again. Then, she would claim Gu Liao’s heart bit by bit.
“Young Master Gu, I came over a little too anxiously. Don’t you have any tea to offer?”
The veins on Gu Liao’s hands bulged. He clearly did not have any patience to beat around the bush with this woman.
“Xie Wutong, I don’t have much patience to converse with you here. What happened to Xie Ru? You’d better tell me right now. Otherwise, even if the old master of the Xie family came personally, he wouldn’t be able to bring you back in one piece.”
“Young Master Gu, Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think my dress is pretty?”
Xie Wutong twirled once before walking over to Gu Liao, hips swaying. Her neckline was exposed wide and she used her body to block Gu Liao’s line of sight. Then, she sprinkled the powder with her hands onto his coffee on the table.
The smell of the woman’s body assaulted Gu Liao’s senses. But it only made Gu Liao more disgusted. She smelled completely different from the refreshing scent of Xie Ru’s body. He pushed the woman away and wiped his hands in annoyance as if they had just touched trash.
“Xie Wutong..”
