Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Wife in Fourth Master’s Heart
Gu Siting left the Imperial Garden and headed to his company.
He first attended a meeting, then met with clients, and had lunch with several political figures.
It wasn’t until two in the afternoon that he returned to the company.
He took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and leaned back in his leather chair with his tall frame.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, there was a knock at the door of his office.
Lu Zhou walked in.
Seeing the man’s chilly and stern face, Lu Zhou wouldn’t have dared to disturb Fourth Master’s rest at this time unless it was an emergency.
Lu Zhou approached the desk and spoke cautiously, “Fourth Master, there is a matter I’m uncertain whether I should report to you.”
Gu Siting opened his black eyes and glanced at Lu Zhou.
His gaze was oppressive and icy, “Speak!”
Lu Zhou handed the iPad he was holding to Gu Siting.
“Your wife… no, Miss Ming, she’s trending on social media.”
Gu Siting saw those photos of her pouring and drinking with Director Feng and the others, and the line of his jaw suddenly tensed up.
He threw the iPad back to Lu Zhou, “Her matters, you need not tell me.”
Lu Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “I’ve learned that the Third Young Master from the main branch plans to complain to the Old Madam.”
The Gu Family lineage was thin, with Old Madam Ming having two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was Gu Siting’s uncle, whose family originally had three sons, but one died, one was irresponsible, and one was disabled—the disabled one being the Third Young Master Lu Zhou mentioned.
The main branch had always been trying to take back the Gu Family’s power from Gu Siting’s hands, and they hadn’t been sparing in their methods over the past few years.
With Ming Yao’s scandal blowing up so much, the main branch would surely scheme.
Gu Siting took back the iPad and carefully observed the news again.
That night at Yonghe Pavilion, he had seen that woman, and clearly, she had been wronged. Someone wanted to destroy her completely.
Destroying her didn’t matter, but if it implicated his side—
“Has that waiter confessed?”
Lu Zhou nodded, “He confessed. It was Xiao Yixuan and Director Feng who directed her to drug the drink.”
“Have all the evidence against Director Feng been collected?”
“Yes.”
Director Feng had a notorious reputation in the circle, especially for targeting young, attractive actresses and fresh young talents.
The most important person in Gu Siting’s life had once nearly been a victim of his machinations, but at the time, Siting had not yet held substantial power, and Director Feng had strong backers in the capital.
He hadn’t been able to deal with him.
Over the past two years, Gu Siting had secretly been gathering evidence of Director Feng’s crimes.
He had originally planned to find the right moment to send Director Feng to jail.
With his lips pressed into a thin, cold line, Gu Siting said in a deep voice, “Hand over the evidence to the police.”
Lu Zhou was somewhat surprised.
The evidence that Fourth Master had could stabilize his power even further if he used it to negotiate with the backers behind Director Feng.
Yet, he was asking for it to be handed directly to the police?
Perhaps discerning Lu Zhou’s confusion, Gu Siting said coldly, “For people like Director Feng, do you think the backers behind them would have any better character?”
Lu Zhou, “…” That person’s background was something many others aspired to cling to!
“Fourth Master, are you handing the evidence directly to the police for the sake of your wife?”
Lu Zhou didn’t know what had transpired between Fourth Master and his wife, but today at the company, Fourth Master hadn’t mentioned a divorce again.
Could it be that Fourth Master had forgiven his wife, who had cuckolded him and wouldn’t stop courting death?
“Does she have that much charm?” Despite saying that, an image of a face flushed with temptation flashed through his mind—an enchanting woman with red lips slightly parting, exhaling smoke in his direction, as seductive as one could be.
Damn it, why did he even think of that disgusting woman?
The wife in his heart should be understanding, talented, capable in the hall and the kitchen.
Suddenly another face flashed through his mind.
Gu Fuzhen?
Gu Siting quickly shook his head.
He was really sick!
Since when had his standards for choosing a spouse dropped to the point of disregarding appearance?
