Chen Yishu spread his hands helplessly: "It’s inevitable to offend people in the business world, but this time, my dad racked his brains and still couldn’t figure out who we’ve offended. Moreover, whoever it is dealt with us harshly, giving us no room to maneuver. My dad said that this person must be very influential, and their actions are deliberate targeting our family."
After hearing his words, Gu Qili faintly guessed someone, as a cold face that was almost inhuman emerged in her mind.
Impossible, Mu Shuoqian wouldn’t seek revenge on the Chen Family just because of a love confession card, that would be making a big deal over something trivial.
"Qili, what’s wrong?" Seeing her staring blankly without moving, Chen Yishu waved his hand in front of her.
Gu Qili sighed: "It’s nothing, I just feel useless, unable to help you. If my dad was still around, maybe he could lend a hand."
"Silly girl, this is a matter for the adults, you don’t need to worry about it. For me, it’s also an opportunity to learn. I’ve only ever focused on studying before and had no interest in business affairs, but I will have to take over our family company eventually. I can’t always run away for various reasons. Now that the company has run into trouble, I realize how difficult doing business can be." Chen Yishu spoke very sincerely, a hint of maturity in his sunny demeanor. He kicked a small pebble with the tip of his shoe, then turned and smiled at her: "I’ll manage the company well, so my future wife can live without worries."
"This is not the time for jokes. The accounting problems could very likely ruin your family and your dad might even end up in jail."
"I know." Chen Yishu sighed, "I’m prepared for the worst, that’s why I want to get familiar with the company’s operations faster. If the company really collapses, I’ll need the ability to make a comeback."
Gu Qili could tell he was pretending to be calm on the surface, but he must be extremely anxious inside, even the dark circles beneath his eyes indicated he hadn’t slept well for quite some time.
"Why don’t you have dinner at my place tonight?" Chen Yishu didn’t want her to leave, "What do you like to eat? I can have the servants buy it."
"No, I need to go back to school. Oh, and your buddies are worried because they can’t reach you. Find some time to give them a call, and also, don’t always keep your phone off."
Chen Yishu smiled: "Got it."
After leaving the Chen Family, Gu Qili boarded the bus back to Jingshan.
Mickey, worried, called her halfway through the trip to ask about the whole story.
"Chen Yishu’s family is really in trouble? Hu Jiaojiao actually didn’t spout nonsense this time, it’s not like her at all." Mickey muttered, quite worried for Chen Yishu too.
Looking out the window, Gu Qili silently sighed: "I don’t even know how to help him."
"Qiqi." Mickey seemed to remember something, pausing before saying: "Back when you were at the police station, Chen Yishu fell out with his dad to help you. He wanted their family lawyer to take your case, but his dad disagreed, and as a result, he got a severe scolding and was even threatened with being sent abroad. He’s really good to you, even I’m moved as an outsider. It’s just a pity that you don’t have those kinds of feelings for him, alas, such a pity."
Chen Yishu had a falling-out with Chen Jiehui for her? He had never told her about this, always presenting only the good news and not the worries.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qili felt a mix of emotions. All this time, it had been Chen Yishu helping her, but it seemed she had never done anything for him. For more chapters visit n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
This time, he faced a big problem, and she needed to stand up for him at least once.
What to do, should she plead with Mu Shuoqian?
Perhaps, he was the one behind this after all.
