Ye Shu’s emotions were especially complex at the moment, tears welling up in her eyes as she fixedly gazed at her man with a moist look, feeling overwhelmed with emotion in her chest.
At the conference table, Gu Zuocheng’s expression was particularly somber and sorrowful.
His gaze somberly watched Ye Shu and Sheng Shaochen, his fingers unknowingly clenching tightly, his heart in unbearable pain.
At this moment, he felt completely useless!
Not only was he unable to offer any help to Ye Shu, but he also stood on her opposing side.
Compared to Sheng Shaochen, who silently supported Ye Shu from behind, Gu Zuocheng felt like a clown, a complete loser thoroughly outdone by Sheng Shaochen!
Inside, a voice roared intensely—he wanted to become stronger, strong enough to contend with Sheng Shaochen!
Ye Xinyu had not expected that a sure-win situation would turn out !
Furious, her face ashen, she stood up trembling and stormed out.
As soon as she exited the conference room, reporters swarmed her, surrounding her tightly.
"Miss Ye Xinyu, have you been elected as the leader of Ye Group? Are you planning to hold an inauguration press conference next?"
"At the press conference, will the bet between you and Lady Ye Shu really be honored?"
When Ye Xinyu heard the words ’bet’, her already ghastly pale face turned downright black.
She reached out, pushing away the microphones crowding in front of her, "Move, move! Get out of my way!!"
Seeing her furiously angry demeanor, the reporters were somewhat baffled.
Then, they heard Ye Shu’s voice leisurely coming from behind, "Ye Xinyu, are you planning to bark like a dog now, or do you plan to bark at my inauguration press conference?"
The sunlight shone on Ye Shu’s side face, her petite face bathed in sweet, shifting light and shadow, elegant yet unmistakably resolute.
"My God, does this mean that the newly elected leader of Ye Group isn’t Miss Ye Xinyu but Lady Ye Shu?"
"Miss Ye Xinyu, didn’t you say that the shadow investor David Chen of Ye Group was an old friend of your father-in-law? Why is he not supporting you but supporting Ye Shu instead?"
The barrage of questions from the reporters made Ye Xinyu infuriated and embarrassed.
Covering her face, she tried to flee the scene but was blocked by the reporters.
Left with no choice, Ye Xinyu turned around, seeking Gu Zuocheng, hoping he could help her through this ordeal.
At that time, Gu Zuocheng indeed followed out and stood behind Ye Shu.
Ye Xinyu hurriedly sent him a pleading look, her eyes pitiful, as if she was about to burst into tears at any second.
Onlookers couldn’t help but whisper and point.
Gu Zuocheng’s face increasingly showed he couldn’t hold it together.
Originally, coming to Ye Group to take something from Ye Shu had been embarrassing enough, followed by being publicly slapped down by Sheng Shaochen, and now... Ye Xinyu had caused such a debacle.
Ye Xinyu’s public dog impersonation was a minor issue, but she ultimately carried the title ’Mrs. Gu’; her humiliation was equivalent to the humiliation of the Gu Family.
The Gu Family really couldn’t afford to lose this face.
Gu Zuocheng stepped forward slightly, moving to Ye Shu’s side, and said in a very low voice, "Shushu, we’re all family, why make it so ugly? Xinyu is ignorant, I’ll take her home and teach her well..."
The moment Gu Zuocheng finished speaking, he felt a massive, chilling aura press down from behind, followed by a suffocating sensation.
Unable to help himself, Gu Zuocheng shivered all over, frowning deeply as he turned his head, only to see Sheng Shaochen standing behind him with a dark expression.
