Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Selling the Jade Mine Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Selling the Jade Mine Gu Qingfeng stared fixedly at Ning Wanru, a hint of coldness flashing through the depths of his heart.
He had indulged her in the past.
Although in his heart, apart from Gu Chengzhi, he never took anyone else seriously, no one would believe him if he said that.
At the very least, Lady Yu would have slapped him across the face.
Heaven and earth as his witness, he really was like that.
He seldom saw her too.
And in his heart, he often overlooked this person.
Truth be told, it was Gu Cheng who spent the most time with him.
Since Gu Cheng was Young Master Chang’s only blood, he naturally saw him in a different light and raised him with care.
As for his descendants, they had absolutely nothing to do with him.
So when Gu Jiansheng broke the jade carving sculpted by Lady Yu, he erupted in a great rage, slapped him, and from that time on, forbade anyone but Gu Cheng from entering Gu Garden.
But in fact, that was the truth.
When something happened to Lady Yu, she seemed anxious, but what she said at that time, he had long forgotten.
Now, he had not the slightest recollection of it.
Yet, this person he had ignored, dared to wish him childless and without descendants!
If time could be turned back, at the moment when Young Master Chang died, he would have killed Ning Wanru on the spot, letting her accompany Young Master Chang below.
Regrettably, he had let her live a carefree life until now.
Gu Qingfeng suppressed the malevolent energy in his heart and spoke bluntly, “I called you here today to inform you that I’m planning to sell the Jade Mine.”
Ning Wanru was stunned.
She had done so much and had never thought that Gu Qingfeng would consider selling the Jade Mine.
Because she knew the importance of the Jade Mine to the Gu Family, to Yubao Square, and to Gu Qingfeng.
Her people had carried her messages to meet secretly with the Daxi Clan elder.
They had held back three gemstone carts.
If Gu Qingfeng could not find them, she would arrange for the gemstone carts to be moved secretly.
Now, she also knew that the workers buried in the mine had been rescued, but the Jade Mine was temporarily at a standstill.
And suddenly, he planned to sell the Jade Mine.
“Why, why sell it?” Ning Wanru’s scrutinizing gaze fell on Gu Qingfeng as she asked tentatively.
“You should be aware of the recent events …” he began with a hint of irony.
Without hiding anything, Ning Wanru nodded openly and smiled, “Yes, of course I’m aware, as I am also one of the shareholders, after all …”
As she spoke, she looked at Gu Qingfeng with a slight provocation.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression suddenly darkened, his eyes filled with a threatening and sinister glint.
The hand gripping the cane clenched tighter.
He couldn’t let Ning Wanru see his true thoughts.
Therefore, he spoke with a gloomy tone, “You have great abilities, I truly underestimated you in the past.”
Ning Wanru smiled faintly, “Ah, to receive praise from Brother Gu in this lifetime is indeed a great fortune …”
Gu Qingfeng let out a cold laugh, “Cut the nonsense. Since you are a shareholder after all, and the Jade Mine is one-third yours, I’m notifying you before I sell it.”
“But I want to know, why do you want to sell it?” Ning Wanru’s thoughts were not so simple.
The Old Patriarch always regarded the Jade Mine as very important.
How could he possibly be willing to sell it?
Even if the mine workers had issues, wasn’t that normal?
Therefore, Ning Wanru really wanted to know if this was a trap.
Because she now very well understood the hatred Gu Qingfeng bore for her.
