Chapter 78: General Chiang, I've come to apologize

  Xiao Yi looked at Gu Yu who was lowering her head in admission of fault, and stretched out his withered hand to pat her shoulder.

  "Stupid kid... Grandpa isn't saying you're wrong, it's just that Xiao Qian is a bit rough around the edges, his words are unpleasant to hear. And I'm also to blame, he learned from me since he was young. His grandmother would say, 'don't scold people', but I didn't listen. When he was little, for every sentence I scolded him with, he'd learn one too, and he picked it up really fast... This time, it's all come to this... But Xiao Yu, you two can still have dinner together today, that means you can get along well too, why not give it a try..."

  Gu Yu knew she was in the wrong, causing Grandpa to worry like this. The old man who had never lowered his head to anyone in B City before was speaking softly and gently to her, almost humbly.

  But...

  "Grandpa, I also want to live a good life, but can't we? Yeah, even if we say it's okay, it'll only be okay for half a day, what's the use?"

  What's most crucial is that Xiao Qian has also insisted on getting a divorce and they've already completed all the necessary procedures.

  With a bitter thought, one day she fell to the point of being divorced by her husband, what else could she say?

  Is it enough just to listen to grandfather's few words of advice?

  Gu Yu drove home and fell onto the bed, about to fall asleep, but then remembered that Jiang Xiaoxuan's matter had not been properly handled yet.

  She called Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun said that Zhang Yali secretly told her that Xiao Qian had moved some funds around. Jiang Xiaoxun was furious and wanted to withdraw the investment, but Xiao Qian strongly disagreed, saying that if they withdrew the investment, they would have to compensate at least 100 million yuan, which Jiang Xiaoxun couldn't do.

  So the two people just stuck like this, neither of them willing to give in.

  It wasn't long before this matter had already been blown out of proportion, and everyone knew that Xiao Qian and Jiang Xiaoxun had an unpleasant argument, smashing cars and fighting.

  Ordinary people outside heard about two local tyrants competing with each other and making a big fuss.

  People in the circle have spread it all over, saying that one has money and the other has power, and they have been fighting together like this, I don't know who will win in the end.

  No wonder the Xiao family felt humiliated, and Xiao Yi was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days, ordering Xiao Qian to solve it quickly.

  However, Xiao Qian seemed to have no such awareness. He slowly watched Jiang Xiaoxun's frantic behavior, seemingly without any intention of ending the battle quickly.

  It's true that those who should be lost have been lost, and at this point, there's nothing to hide anymore. However, Gu Yu thought that before divorcing Xiao Qian, she had to resolve this matter first. After all, it was because of her that this matter started in the first place, and for Grandfather's sake, she also had an obligation to resolve it.

  She sat on the bed and thought for a moment before calling Jiang Xiaoxun.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan quickly picked up the phone and it sounded like there was a lot of noise on his end.

  "Hey, are you divorced? How did I come to mind?" Jiang Xiaoxuan asked with a light tone.

  Gu Yu actually didn't dislike Jiang Xiao Xun that much. In the business world, there were all sorts of men, and Jiang Xiao Xun wasn't the worst.

  She just isn't on the same wavelength as him, but anyway it's not like they're going to spend their lives together, so what's the difference if they're not on the same page or not.

  Gu Yu thought that she and Xiao Qian weren't really a match made in heaven, so living together was like cooking porridge.

  Gu Yu took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound more relaxed as well. "Recently, Director Jiang has been a big shot, his name can be heard everywhere, I think it's hard for him to go unnoticed."

  "It's all thanks to your husband."

  "What's the relationship between him and me? It's mainly because of your actions, Director Jiang, smashing the car made people feel your power at once." Gu Yan said intentionally.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan burst out laughing and said, "Speak up, what do you want to do?"

  "I'd like to make an appointment with Director Jiang and see him in person. I wonder if Director Jiang will grant me the favor." said Gu Yan.

  "It's hard for others to see me, but since you want to see me, I'll definitely rush over immediately. Tell me, when and where? I'm already eager."

  "Tomorrow, North Shore Cafe."

  Jiang Xiaoxun readily agreed to meet up, and the next day, when he arrived at the location, he was dressed in a new outfit. Normally, Jiang Xiaoxun looked like a decent person, not annoying at all. Gu Yu walked over, smiled slightly, and felt his gaze on her, but she didn't mind.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan said, "You're still not divorced yet? Actually I have some connections up there too, why don't I help you talk to them..."

  "General Chiang, I've come to apologize on behalf of Xiao Qian." Gu Ye knew that Xiao Qian would never come to apologize himself. He couldn't possibly do so, as the Xiao family also had its pride to uphold - how could their second young master possibly come to apologize?

  However, she can, as a woman, say sorry and it's nothing wrong with that.

  Even if outsiders find fault, they can't say that the Xiao family has humbled themselves. The Xiao family hasn't humbled itself; only Gu Yei has lowered her head.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan lowered her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yu, shaking her head with a sigh of regret. "Gu Yu, does Xiao Qian deserve your sacrifice? He's done something foolish, what can you apologize for?"

  Gu Yu looked up and seriously at Jiang Xiao Xuan, "This matter was caused by me, and he is my husband. I came to apologize and there's nothing wrong with that. He shouldn't have hit people, I know. If it wasn't for Xiao Qian taking action that day, President Jiang has always been a knowledgeable and reasonable person, he wouldn't have done something like smashing the car, causing onlookers to gather outside, losing face for both our families. So I must apologize, and I hope President Jiang can forgive me, because I made a wrong decision at the time and went to see President Jiang, causing such a big commotion."

  Jiang Xiaoxuan listened to her faint words, on the one hand wearing a tall hat, and on the other hand lowering his own...

  Jiang Xiaoxun fiddled with the things on the table, originally with his legs raised, looking very casual, but also appearing extremely solemn.

  He sighed, "It was originally his fault, but now you're dragging it onto yourself. Gu Yu, do you really love him that much? Is it worth it? Others may not know, but I know a lot more. You two can't even get along together, and he never knows how to compromise. He always quarrels with you, scolds you... what's going on, have you two made up again these past few days?"

  Gu Yu took a deep breath, looking at Jiang Xiao Xuan, "There's nothing worth or not worth it, we're husband and wife, how we quarrel is our business, it has nothing to do with outside matters. No matter how we close the door and fight, even if we hit each other, in the end, we are still in the same company, with common interests, isn't this what they call a wealthy family?"

  Jiang Xiaoxuan stared at Gu Yu, this is exactly what a wealthy family is like, it seems to have expressed half of the bitterness.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan let out a sigh, and his expression finally eased up. He looked outside and said with his head raised, "It's no use telling me, when will he allow me to withdraw my investment? From then on, we'll mind our own business and not interfere with each other. As for the fight, I can pretend it never happened from now on and never bring it up again."

  Gu Yu said, "Withdrawing capital is not beneficial for you and me, and Director Jiang also knows that."

  "But with my money, I think it's always right to invest in places I like," said Jiang Xiaoxuan.

  "Gu Yan said, 'It's your money, but this investment case involves hundreds of employees, which means hundreds of families. Day and night, business is about responsibility, I'm doing it with integrity, I can't lose my own responsibility. One hundred million may not be a big deal to you or the Xiao family, but it's very important to these families. So, I still hope that Director Jiang will consider this carefully for the sake of these families.'"

  Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Gu Yu, "You don't have to make such a big fuss and let me take the blame. I know what you're thinking, wanting to save Xiao Qian's face while quickly resolving this issue. You think it's a good idea, but...I disagree, Gu Yu. You can't have both fish and bear's paw at the same time. If you want to thoroughly resolve this matter, you should let Xiao Qian come and apologize, kneeling in front of my door with a humble attitude, and I will completely put aside past grievances."

  Jiang Xiaoxun suddenly stood up, walked to Gu Yan, slightly bowed his head, and whispered in her ear with a ambiguous posture, "Or... you agree to divorce and follow me, not to mention three hundred million, I'll give you as much as you want."

  Gu Yan couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan finished speaking and walked out first, leaving this place.

  Xiao Qian didn't care about Yu's sourness, at night he lived alone in his house, and he didn't sleep well.

  She has been thinking about what Gu Yu said, she said he didn't want him to touch her again, she said she was annoyed with him.

  Yes, she has been annoyed with him for a long time, but this is the first time she has said it out loud.

  He went out and saw a spotless room, which was cleaned up by the servant very cleanly.

  Since Gu Yan left, he called in a servant and moved into the servant's quarters next door.

  It seemed like he had returned to his usual self, but he knew that some things could never be taken back.

  Things that have changed can't go back to what they were before.

  He just wasn't used to it, wasn't used to having two strangers wandering around his house.

  But after getting used to it for a while, it's fine.

  Xiao Qian picked up his things and was about to leave when he received a call from Zhang Yali.

  He picked up the phone with a lazy tone unique to mornings and asked, "What's up?"

  "Director Xiao... Director Guo... something's happened..."
