Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Never Letting Go of You for a Lifetime, Update 1 (Part 3)
Jian Ran could tell that Gu Mochen had already seen through everything; now… it was just to let herself understand.
Jian Ran thought hard for a moment… and then her beautiful eyes lit up.
“Do you mean, the ten percent of Gu Family shares owned by Gu Wei?”
Considering the current value of the Gu Family… that ten percent held by Gu Wei was definitely a juicy piece of the pie.
Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran, seeing that she caught on immediately, his thin lips curved slightly, his ink-colored eyes flashed a hint of approval, but it couldn’t hide the solemnity in their depths.
“But… If that’s the case, the other party would need to be sure they could definitely get their hands on it… um, then in that case…”
The more Jian Ran thought about it, the more her complexion slightly changed.
Obviously, someone who could rightfully claim Gu Wei’s shares.
In legal terms, it would be Gu Mochen alone, since Dong Qin was not considered a spouse, just a common-law relationship.
Clearly, Gu Mochen wouldn’t do such a thing; after all… there was nothing so serious as to warrant murder.
So… there was obviously only one person.
That was, Han Siming.
This name shot into Jian Ran’s mind, and her expression turned unsightly.
Beyond that, there was no other candidate.
So… it was very likely that Gu Wei’s sudden illness was a sham, with Han Siming orchestrating much of it.
Jian Ran couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat on her back, feeling very unfamiliar and frightened by this Han Siming.
Jian Ran bit her lip, having lost the enthusiasm she had just now in uncovering the truth, and her emotions were somewhat chaotic… just like Gu Mochen’s.
Gu Mochen raised his hand to slowly embrace the woman beside him, his voice hoarse, “For now, the truth of the matter hasn’t come out, and although we have a conclusion, it still needs verification.”
Jian Ran felt the weight of Gu Mochen’s emotions, originally wanting to struggle out of his embrace to maintain a relatively safe distance from him, but right now, she didn’t want to do so that much anymore.
To the outward eye, Gu Mochen might seem unruffled, but the parties involved… one might be his brother, the other, his father.
Both are profoundly important to Gu Mochen.
This… even though the other party is scum, after all, it’s someone with the same blood running through their veins.
So… it’s quite painful to deal with.
Jian Ran was originally tossing and turning in the Gu Family bedroom, unable to sleep; yet now, gently embraced by Gu Mochen, she quickly began to feel drowsy.
Jian Ran couldn’t resist leaning on the man’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Mochen, hearing the shallow breathing of the woman beside him, realized that Jian Ran had fallen asleep. His lips pursed slightly; he had wanted to carry her to the bedroom to rest, but as he lifted his hand and saw Jian Ran frown in her sleep, he held back.
So Gu Mochen simply let it be.
Gu Mochen gazed at the peaceful sleeping face of the woman beside him, not daring to move an inch… just quietly enjoying the tranquility of being alone together.
Yet Gu Mochen’s hawk-like eyes were tightly furrowed, twisted into a frown.
From beginning to end, Han Siming never pushed Gu Mochen to the point of wanting to strike him down mercilessly.
But now… the man was taking extreme steps, one by one.
Gu Mochen had this feeling… that Han Siming could not be kept around.
Gu Mochen’s thin lips tightened, and in his mind flashed images of the man in his youth, gentle and refined, calling him big brother…
And now… so different from before, as if they were two different people.
Jian Ran slept on Gu Mochen’s shoulder for a full three hours.
