Chapter 28: Unspoken Stubbornness

  Gu Yu nodded, "I've already instructed Zhang Yali to hand over your schedule to me. I'll replace you on the business trip the day after tomorrow. Next week is Cui's family's daughter's birthday party, which you had agreed to attend, but it seems like you won't be able to make it now. I'll help you prepare a gift, if there's anything else you remember, just let me know anytime."

  Gu Yu has been working with Xiao's venture capital for many years, and the two have been referring to each other's work without any surprises. Xiao Qian believes in Gu Yu's strength and ability, which is enough to handle these tasks, but... her tone of voice makes people extremely uncomfortable.

  "Gu Yan, are you done with the handover of work? You're not coming back here anymore? From what I understand, this is like a division of labor, and after this, you'll just leave me alone in the hospital and go out on your own?"

  Gu Yan indeed meant this.

  She's not needed here either, is she?

  Just then, being pierced by his one sentence, Gu Y's face still had some discomfort, just feeling that he didn't need her, but now it seemed like he didn't want her to leave either. So she changed her tone and said to him, "If you need me, I'll still come over. I'm not saying it, you can call me anytime if something comes up."

  "It's not necessary, Director Gu doesn't want to come, and it's better if he never comes. As the saying goes, 'a forced melon is not sweet'. I'm also tired of watching a woman perform 'being in Cao's camp with her heart in Han's' in front of me."

  Gu Yu felt strange, what did he do wrong again? He even gave him space, was that wrong too?

  "Is that so, Director Xiao? There's no sweet melon, fragrant melon or watermelon here, it's all too sweet and sticky. Do you still need to twist my words? What's with this expression of yours? If you keep staring at me like that, I'll think you're reluctant to let me go." Gu Ye also huffed in annoyance, her tone carrying a few more implications.

  Xiao Qian sat there, raising an eyebrow, looking at Gu Yu who was tilting her head.

  Today was busy, Gu Yu ran back and forth all day, her hair was a bit messy, but she still couldn't hide her lovely appearance.

  A woman with a beautiful face and figure is always beautiful, no matter how disheveled she may be.

  That expression is really annoying.

  "Gu's recent progress has been nothing to write home about, but his shamelessness has increased significantly. Hanging out with Xiao Yue for no reason has indeed yielded some benefits." He raised an eyebrow, hands clasped behind his back, and curled up the corner of his mouth as he looked at Gu Yu in front of him.

  "Xiao Qian, if you want to target me, then target me directly. Why drag innocent people into this?"

  "Ah, saying a few more words and it hurts again." Xiao Qian's tone changed, he slapped the table, glaring at Gu Yu, "You have plenty of time to make up for him, comfort him, in the long nights ahead. Now that I'm staying in this hospital, I won't be bothering you two at home anymore. It's not far from here either, what are you waiting for? Go!"

  "Look at what you're saying, I really want to comfort him, but I don't need to be at home, there are cameras everywhere, it's so inconvenient. I've been eyeing your property for a long time, otherwise, with the way you are, do you think I could have endured all these years? Now that I'm about to succeed, why would I spoil everything at this critical moment?"

  "You... Gu Yu, you've finally said it out loud, huh? You're eyeing my family's assets? Well, you'd better behave yourself in front of me and do exactly as I say. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll give you half of everything. Otherwise, forget about getting anything from me this lifetime."

  He glared at Gu Yan, his lips curling up again because of the paleness on her face. "You want to have a big harvest, but you need to make a big sacrifice, right? The wealth of the Xiao family is enough for you to spend for several lifetimes. You've been getting more and more careless lately, how can you still compete with me for the family property?"
