It was the first time Gu Shouyan received a phone call from this niece of hers.
It was very sudden.
But the matter the other party brought up was also too sudden.
She quickly went to ask about company acquisition.
Gu Shouyan couldn’t quite understand, but she still patiently explained a little to her.
But she hadn’t expected Gu Qingjiu to mention the Yu family.
At the mention of the Yu family, Gu Shouyan felt her blood boiling.
Of course, she knew about the Yu family’s background, and even more so that Gu Qingjiu was a child of the Yu family.
Other than finding it shocking, Gu Shouyan didn’t understand the finer details.
What enraged Gu Shouyan was, as Gu Qingjiu mentioned, when her younger brother, Gu Hong, got sent to prison, it was the Yu family’s doing.
This made Gu Shouyan feel hatred towards the Yu family.
Gu Qingjiu went straight to the point. “Great Aunt, I know that I’m a daughter of the Yu family. Hence, you might have some thoughts about this. But I feel very disgusted with the Yu family. Their aim in asking me to go back to their household back then was to enter an alliance marriage with the Li family through me. It was so to inject funds into the Yu Corporation to help it tide over the crisis. Because of this incident, Dad even went to jail. Do you have any idea how mad I am about it?”
Gu Shouyan could tell there was a deeper meaning behind Gu Qingjiu’s words, and she raised her brow slightly. “Of course, I’ve heard that the Yu Corporation was in trouble earlier on. But you didn’t go back, and the Li family didn’t help Yu Corporation, so how did they tide over the crisis?”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t hide it from her. “Because the First Miss of the Yu Corporation, Yu Shiwei, who was supposed to marry into the Li family, managed to hook up with someone rich and influential in the capital. But this protective shield is about to lose its use. What I mean is, if the Yu Corporation descends into a debt crisis again, would you help your niece and take advantage of this crisis?”
Despite her trembling heart, Gu Shouyan’s voice remained calm. “Qingjiu, you’re thinking too much. Great Aunt cannot take over such an enormous corporation.”
Gu Qingjiu let out a chuckle. “Great Aunt, I know that. Since that’s the case, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Just as she was about to hang up the call, Gu Shouyan suddenly asked, “Do you really hate the Yu family so? They’re your biological parents.”
“Great Aunt, do you know that on this earth, there are some people who aren’t fit to be parents. Since they harmed Dad once, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t do it a second time. I currently don’t have great means…” Gu Qingjiu’s tone was so vicious that Gu Shouyan froze on the other end of the line.
“Are your news reliable? There seems nothing wrong with the Yu Corporation for now.”
As she stood next to an office chair, Gu Shouyan’s gaze fell on a proposal on the desk.
That was their company’s proposal for expansion, and they were seeking an appropriate target.
Gu Qingjiu’s call came at too coincidental a timing.
This aroused some suspicions in Gu Shouyan.
“Whether or not it’s true, you’ll find out shortly after, Great Aunt.”
Gu Shouyan resumed her calm tone of voice and said goodbye to Gu Shouyan with a smile.
After the call ended, Gu Qingjiu then turned to Helian Niancheng beside her. “I told my Great Aunt about it. But Chief Instructor, taking over a corporation is not an easy feat. I can’t pin all my hopes on Great Aunt.”
“If your Great Aunt’s company has expansion plans, it might tempt her.”
Helian Niancheng’s lips arched as he said this meaningfully.
Gu Qingjiu paused. What had Helian Niancheng done?
