Chapter 2293: Chapter 2095: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

"I could casually find an outsider, and at least they’d offer me a fifty-fifty profit share. Mr. Gu, you want to take all the profit with only three percent? Don’t you find that laughable?"

Her expression was indifferent, yet her eyes hid endless pain. "Also, you got one thing wrong. I’ve already told you before; I’m not family with the Gu Family. Don’t get it wrong. The reason I’m here today is solely to hand over my father’s belongings to the Old Madam to fulfill his wish. The person from your family is dead, buried at the Baoshan Cemetery for over ten years now. You haven’t visited even once, have you?"

The person died, so the company became his, and he surely wouldn’t waste expressions on a dead person. Gu Qinian’s face turned ash gray, looking terribly annoyed, still trying to deceive her, "Xixi, blood relations are the closest bonds in this world! Cui Jiangjing is willing to help you now; can you guarantee he’ll never change his heart? Those feelings are temporary; only family truly cares about you."

Gu Linxi scoffed at his words, "I’d rather have temporary sincerity than a lifetime of hypocrisy!"

"You call me hypocritical? Lin Xi, I’m your second uncle! If you talk to me like this, what would your parents think?"

The people are dead, and yet he still tried to use this connection. Gu Linxi clenched her fingernails tightly, tilted her head to meet his gaze, her eyes extremely cold, extremely dark, "They won’t know anymore. When people die, they know nothing!"

"..."

In her teenage years, during the funeral, she cried so much she wished she could tell her parents this.

When people die, they know nothing, can do nothing. They said to entrust her to the Gu Family, that she had a grandmother, a second uncle, a little aunt, an entire family; in truth, she had nothing. After they left, she was left alone. If they truly knew, would they have seen the Gu Real Estate taken over and her sent abroad? Would they have realized the true faces of relatives, who could even tear at their own closest kin, would pity a niece, a granddaughter, from another generation?

Taking advantage of Gu Qinian being startled, she decided to speak openly, "I’ve come back this time to reclaim what belongs to me. You’ve lived luxuriously off my father’s company for over ten years, yet failed to manage his hard work. Gu Real Estate in your hands will only decline, so I want to take back the company. Jikang’s project is just the beginning, I plan for Jianda to swallow Gu Real Estate."

"There never was any familial bond between me and the Gu Family; we only have the law of the jungle, a lesson taught by you all."

Gu Qinian flew into a rage, raised his hand, "I think you’ve gone mad!"

Before his hand could fall, his wrist was firmly grabbed.

A deep voice came from behind Gu Linxi, "Mr. Gu, are you trying to hit my girlfriend?"

His hand was abruptly released.

Being physically weak due to a lack of exercise for years, Gu Qinian couldn’t keep his balance when Cui Jiangjing simply let go, causing him to stumble backward a few steps.

After finally stopping his stagger, he spoke with increased embarrassment and urgency, "Mr. Cui, this is our family affair!"

Gu Linxi turned her head, witnessing the man’s exquisite jawline, his large hand holding her waist firmly, shamelessly pulling her into his embrace.

With a tone that was half mocking, half smiling, he said, "How come I didn’t know when my wife became part of your family?"
