"Chuyang’s body has already been transported back to the country. The entire Ji Family is in deep sorrow. I heard that Old Master Ji was so furious that he fainted on the spot and is still in the ICU."
"That old fox might be nearing the end of his days."
"Mr. Gu, do we still need to acquire Ji Family’s shares? Because Mr. Ji suddenly fell ill, Ji Family’s stock price has been plummeting, severely devalued."
"Yes, acquire everything and merge it into the Gu Family. I want Ji Family to completely disappear from Rongcheng."
"Understood, I’ll take care of it right away." This text is hosted at n0velfire.net
After hanging up, another call quickly came in. Gu Moqian looked at the name on the screen, slightly surprised.
He pressed the answer key quickly.
"Moqian, what’s going on? I couldn’t reach you when I called a few days ago. When I called Chen Ke, he said your phone had a problem and was being repaired. Is that true?" His father, Gu Zhizhou’s voice came through the receiver.
He was in Japan a few days ago, so naturally, his domestic phone couldn’t be reached.
"Yes, it’s true," Gu Moqian answered calmly.
Gu Zhizhou still found it strange, "You’re the president of the Gu Family. You have several phones. How could none of them be reachable? Are you hiding something from me?"
"No, my phone accidentally fell into the water, so it was sent for repair. It has important data, so I didn’t consider replacing it," Gu Moqian explained without a ripple of emotion, "Dad, is there something you needed to talk about?"
Gu Zhizhou rarely called his son unless there was something important.
"...It’s your birthday, can’t I even make a call to greet you?"
Gu Moqian was taken aback.
So much had happened recently that he almost forgot his own birthday.
"Thank you, Dad," he replied without emotion.
"Celebrate with Ji Wei tonight. Your mom and I are in Britain, so it’s inconvenient for us to celebrate your birthday."
Suddenly having such a warm conversation with his father felt unnatural to Gu Moqian, and his response was stiff.
Knowing his son’s character, Gu Zhizhou didn’t mind much, "By the way, how is Ji Wei’s health? With her being pregnant, you need to be more considerate. The first three months are the risky period, don’t be unaware of moderation..."
Gu Moqian’s eyes darkened for a moment.
He still hadn’t found the right moment to tell Gu Zhizhou that Ji Wei wasn’t pregnant.
"And don’t blame your mother. She refuses to accept Ji Wei because she misunderstands. As her son, you should mediate and let your mom see Ji Wei’s good side. After all, you are her son. How could she truly not care about your happiness?"
Gu Zhizhou rambled on, and Gu Moqian was quite surprised by it. Huh, the sun must have risen from the west today.
When his father finally finished speaking, he replied calmly, "Okay, I got it."
"I’m getting old. The burden of the Gu Family now falls entirely on your shoulders, thank you for your hard work," Gu Zhizhou suddenly remarked.
"You’re only in your early fifties, how are you old?"
"Ha, didn’t you always say I was too old to worry needlessly?"
"Alright, I won’t disturb your work. Come to Britain when you have time, and we can have a good drink. I’ve specially kept some good bottles."
"Sure, I’ll come soon."
After hanging up, Gu Moqian had a lingering feeling that something was a bit off with Gu Zhizhou today.
Could it be that people get more talkative as they age?
He didn’t dwell on it, opened his computer, and began handling the accumulated matters of the company.
Ji Wei arrived at the second floor of the Wells Fitness Club and saw Xia Duoduo lying on a mat doing a plank.
She was so shocked that she suspected she was seeing things.
Xia Duoduo, who was notoriously lazy, was actually exercising diligently. It was nothing short of a miracle!
Ji Wei, full of surprise, approached her and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Duoduo, did you take the wrong medicine?" she asked in amazement.
