Gu Xuan detected strong pride from Gu Shaos very plain and simple words.
So what if you have a daughter?
Gu Xuan grumbled but he dared not say that out loud in front of Gu Shao.
How were things with you in Country D? asked Gu Shao as the award ceremony hasnt begun yet.
Gu Xuan, too, had a serious look when he was asked.
Same as usual. Things are steady, overall.
That being said Gu Shao narrowed his eyes. Something occurred to him, his face dropped and he said, Gu Yaobai had been causing a lot of ruckuses in Country D.
He developed a few investment companies in the name of the Sun family and took out a loan through the investment company.
What is it for? asked Gu Shao.
We dont know yet but I have a feeling that it had to do with raw materials, said Gu Xuan in a deep voice.
Gu Yaobai had contacted a few of the vendors that we worked with a few times, added Gu Xuan.
The largest business that the Gu had in Country D was raw materials.
It didnt look like Gu Yaobai just wanted a piece of the pie; it looked more like he wanted to replace the Gu family altogether.
And it was not just Country D, almost everywhere that the Gu family was, there were also traces that Gu Yaobai had been reaching out to those areas.
Besides, he seemed to have frequented a few Chambers of Commerce recently as well. Gu Xuan paused and said coldly, with a smile that wasnt a smile, Hes up to no good.
After hearing what Gu Xuan had told him, Gu Shao look deepened but said nothing.
Gu Xuan couldnt help but lamented, He had laid low all these years. I guess he was finally at the end of his rope.
Having said that, Gu Xuan had an obvious mocking look on him.
Dad and First Brother are too nice. We should have just taken care of him way back when and we wont have to deal with these now, commented Gu Xuan.
Upon hearing that, a hint of danger flashed past Gu Shaos eyes. He then said, What happened back then wasnt as simple as they seemed.
They spare Gu Yaobai back then not because they were nice but that there was still that culprit that was hiding behind Gu Yaobai.
Lets keep a cap on this and not let Gu Yaobai commit anything crazy. As for domestically, those from the Chambers of Commerce will know what to do.
In addition, I dont want him trying anything before Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gu Xuan nodded at Gu Shao, Okay, I will handle it.
Gu Xuan, Theres something else.
Gu Shao, Speak.
It seemed that Gu Yaobai also had some ties with the Lin family, the one that Xixi was with. It seemed that it was the Lin family that reached out to him. Gu Xuan frowned after he was done saying that.
Gu Shao, however, did not seem surprised. I know that.
You know? Gu Xuan lifted his brows. How do you plan to take care of it then?
Gu Xuan did not know the details of what had happened to Gu Xi when she was with the Lin family. Nevertheless, that Mrs. Lin was, after all, Gu Xis birth mother. This could get tricky.
Gu Xuan was curious about Gu Shaos plan but Gu Shao never answered his question.
When he looked up, Gu Xuan noticed that the first, second, and three winners of the competition had already walked up onto the podium.
Gu Xuan, too, stopped what he was going to say and focused on the students who were walking up the podium.
It didnt take long for Gu Xuan to spot Gu Xi, who had walked up with Gu Chenyi.
Gu Xuans eyes beamed, That is Xixi, right?
She was pretty than she looked in the photos, thought Gu Xuan.
No wonder our old man had been looking forward to meeting her. Haha. They had a family full of boys. How could the old man not be excited when there was finally a girl in the family?
She does look like Ma, said Gu Xuan as he rubbed his chin. By Ma, he was referring to Gu Xi, Gu Chenyi, and the others grandmother.
Gu Shao glanced over at Gu Xuan and spit out four words calmly, She looks like me.
