Chapter 89 p2
Su Guan was at a loss when she received Gu Qing’s message.
As expected, she couldn’t let her guard down with this woman. In a moment of carelessness, she had started to fan the flames again.
“Su Guan, are you free these next few days? Let’s meet.”
“No,” Su Guan replied decisively.
Not seeing her, of course not free to see her. These days, Gu Yixi was having a hard time. How could she, as her wife, go out and play with others?
And with Gu Qing.
Gu Qing was persistent. “Why?”
Before Su Guan could reply, Gu Qing had even called, very angry.
“…Why are you calling?” Su Guan was speechless.
Gu Qing was very angry. “I’m kindly asking you out, and you’re so unwilling? Are you not on the internet, or are you not living with Gu Yixi?”
Su Guan was silent.
She was on the internet, and she was living with Gu Yixi.
Now the internet was full of black press releases about Gu Yixi, about her, about her career, one after another, and her reputation had fallen to the extreme.
And even in this situation, no one from Gu Yixi’s side had come out to speak.
“Alright, you’re ignoring me, right? Then don’t regret it!” Gu Qing cursed angrily, hung up the phone, and was determined not to let Su Guan and Gu Yixi off this time.
…
Su Guan hadn’t expected to see Gu Qing’s face so soon.
A huge wave had been stirred up online. Everyone was interested in Gu Yixi and the Gu family. The media couldn’t find Gu Yixi for an interview, but they could find Gu Yishan—this one had also attracted everyone’s attention when she had appeared before, and she had also been willing to be interviewed in the past.
But after all, it was a family scandal. The reporters couldn’t get a direct interview and could only find an opportunity to interview her on her way out.
The interview video was played.
The crowd was crowded, shoulder to shoulder.
Reporter: “Ms. Gu, may I ask what your opinion is on your sister’s recent involvement in a public opinion storm?”
Gu Yishan’s path was blocked, but she maintained her politeness. “I’m not sure. My sister and I are independent individuals.”
Reporter: “But there are also rumors online that your position was replaced by Gu Yixi. And you have a lot of experience being interviewed before. Why are you not accepting an interview publicly this time?”
Other reporters also chimed in. “Ms. Gu, may I ask if your family has any plans to hold a press conference? Now the biotechnology company acquired by the Gu family also has rumors of fake medicine. You have also been the head of the Gu family for a period of time. May I ask if you know…”
“The specific situation has to be answered specifically, but I have something to do now,” Gu Yishan and Gu Qing were pushed forward by the bodyguards, but she still didn’t forget to smile at the camera. “But I can assure the public that the Gu family will give everyone a satisfactory answer.”
Su Guan’s heart grew heavier.
This video had just been released, which meant it was still fresh.
Fortunately, Gu Yixi didn’t have a personal public social media. Now, when you searched for her name, the discussions you found were all negative.
The biopharmaceutical company was suspected of fraud, saying that after taking the medicine produced by this company, people would fall into a deep sleep. The moment this post was sent, thousands of people responded, and they traced it back to a company controlled by the Gu family.
The angry public directly pointed their fingers at Gu Yixi herself, who had not yet come out to respond.
And there were also problems with Lan Ti’s prosthetic limbs. Several victims had come to the gate of Lan Ti with their prosthetic limbs, demanding compensation…
These were all problems in Gu Yixi’s career, and she also had her own entanglement with her own mother. And Xu Lai had long since occupied the moral high ground in this struggle.
Gu Yixi’s situation was very bad.
…
“Gu Yixi, I rarely speak to you so seriously,” Old Mrs. Gu caressed the emerald green bracelet on her wrist and looked up lightly.
Although she was nestled in her chair, her majestic aura had not diminished in the slightest.
Besides her, everyone in the family was standing, not speaking.
Gu Yixi also lowered her head. The big shots had almost never seen her lower her head.
The old lady was still the old lady. She would step in at a critical moment, they thought.
“Now, in this situation, do you have anything to say?”
Gu Yixi was silent for a moment, then she said, “Grandma, I also wanted to speak up at that time, but you, because of my mother’s affairs, didn’t let me open any…”
“Enough,” Old Mrs. Gu directly interrupted. “I’m not here to let you explain. I’m asking you to give a solution. Do you have to open a social account yourself?”
Gu Yixi frowned and said again, “I just feel that it would be more convenient to have my own social account, and…”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when Old Mrs. Gu interrupted her again, and at this time, Gu Qing also walked to Old Mrs. Gu’s side and said innocently, “I just opened an account to share my life with everyone. I have no other meaning. But my aunt has a great responsibility. If she has a social media account, will it affect the group itself?”
“By the way, Great-grandma, can I still post? If you don’t let me post, I’ll delete all my accounts when I go back today.”
Old Mrs. Gu’s tone softened. “It’s fine to share your life.”
“Ah, but I’m worried that at this juncture, it will affect our family. You see, my aunt doesn’t have a social media account, and there are still many people talking about her online. I’m worried about implicating my aunt. How about this, I’ll delete my account when I go back,” Gu Qing shook her head repeatedly, insisting on deleting her account.
Gu Yixi glanced at her, her mouth moved, but she didn’t make a sound.
Old Mrs. Gu’s love for this precious great-granddaughter was growing with age.
When Gu Yixi came home, Gu Qing had also grown up, so she hadn’t seen the old lady’s meticulous care for this treasure.
All she had gotten was the inhuman training for an heir.
Once she was useless, then her grandmother could also, just as she had in the past, just as she had driven out her own child, abandon her.
In Gu Yuhua’s mind, it seemed that there was nothing that could not be abandoned, as long as it was decided by her likes and dislikes.
The old lady finally stood up, glanced at Gu Yixi, and said, “I heard that many people in the company are also dissatisfied with you. The senior management even collectively signed a petition… do you know what this means?”
“Our family has been able to get to where it is today, and their efforts are also inseparable. It seems that you have been in power for so many years, and you have become arrogant and have started to act perversely. If you can’t solve it well, then you can step down.”
Gu Yixi’s chest was tight with anger. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to say, “All positions step down?”
“What else? If not, how can we calm everyone’s emotions?”
With that, Old Mrs. Gu left without looking back.
At this time, her favoritism was no longer hidden. Although the old lady’s surface had always been in a state of delegating power, she actually had her own connections.
It was those shareholders who had signed the petition, most of whom had been instructed by her.
“Aiya, Auntie, why don’t you open an account? Oh, Grandma won’t let you. How about this, you use my account to post?”
Before she left, Gu Qing didn’t forget to mock Gu Yixi again.
Gu Yixi smiled and said, “No need, I’ll open one myself.”
“Well, you’ll open one yourself,” Gu Qing giggled. “Auntie doesn’t seem to have had a wedding. How can your niece send you wedding blessings?”
“I hope you and Su Guan will be together forever and never be separated!”
Gu Qing remained calm, her gaze empty. “I’ll take your good wishes. We will.”
“You!” Gu Qing was speechless at the stubborn Gu Yixi. “Alright, alright, if you will, you will. We’ll see.”
Really, can’t some people just accept their fate?
