Old Madam Hong immediately asked, "Ziqi, where are you now? Guo Huining? Is she with you? "
It had to be Guo Huining for Hong Ziqi to call and plead for her.
Hong Ziqi thought Old Madam Hong had agreed and giggled. "Ancestor, Huining is with me …"
"You two go back to the mansion immediately. I have something to ask you."
Old Madam Hong put down the phone and rubbed her temples. She felt her head throbbing with pain.
No wonder the situation was so strange this time …
Someone must have gotten into trouble and didn't know it.
She wanted to find out what was going on.
While waiting for Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining to return, she sent someone to the Hong Group Hotel to get the surveillance footage from that day.
Hong Ziqi told Guo Huining about Old Madam Hong's words. Guo Huining was delighted and smiled. "So Ancestor isn't angry with me anymore? Can I go to the Hong Corporation? "
Hong Ziqi turned the steering wheel and smiled. "I'll ask Ancestor again when I see her. It'll be fine. Didn't she let you go back to the Hong family? "
Guo Huining breathed a sigh of relief. She was quite relieved that Hong Ziqi hadn't broken up with her at that time.
She hadn't wasted her youth on this stupid man in vain.
Guo Huining smiled and returned to the Hong Family's mansion with Hong Ziqi.
This time, Old Madam Hong was sitting in her study and waiting for them to come in.
Before Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining came in, Old Madam Hong had already obtained the surveillance footage of Guo Huining arguing with Gu Nianzhi that day.
Unfortunately, there was no sound in the video, only the image.
But even from the image, Old Madam Hong could tell that Gu Nianzhi's group had gone there first. They had already ordered food and eaten for a while before Guo Huining sent someone to greet them.
First was the waiter in the red vest, then Guo Huining herself. There was also a girl who looked somewhat familiar. Old Madam Hong squinted and put on her reading glasses for a long time before she barely recognized her as the youngest daughter of the Dou family.
Old Madam Hong had paid close attention to the two daughters of the former Prime Minister Dou's family.
Because of Dou Qingyan, Old Madam Hong had planned to introduce her to her great-grandson, Hong Ziqi.
The two of them were about the same age, and Hong Ziqi got along well with Xue Jingjiang. Xue Jingjiang and Dou Qingyan were also childhood friends.
Relying on this relationship, Old Madame Hong wanted them to be "childhood sweethearts".
However, Dou Qingyan soon joined the army and disappeared from the circle of the Imperial Capital's rich and powerful second generation. Guo Huining began to hang out with Hong Ziqi, so Dou Qingyan didn't say anything more.
When Dou Qingyan reappeared a few years later, she was embroiled in a huge storm. Even Prime Minister Dou was implicated.
Old Madam Hong shook her head as she thought of the past and looked at Dou Aiyan, who was so close to Guo Huining that she wished she could wear the same pants.
She had never liked someone like Guo Huining, so she had never agreed to let her in.
…
After waiting in the study for a while, Guo Huining finally came in with Hong Ziqi.
Old Madame Hong leaned against the chair, raised her hand and said, "Close the door."
Hong Ziqi hurriedly pulled back his hand and closed the door. He smiled and sat in front of Old Madam Hong.
Madame Hong quietly turned off the computer screen and said to Guo Huining, "You sit down too."
Guo Huining's smile became a bit more smug.
She sat down properly and said with a smile, "Old Madame Hong, does this mean you agree?"
Old Madam Hong looked at her calmly and said, "Ziqi just told me what happened that day. I want to hear from you now."
Guo Huining didn't mind and recounted the events of that day. She told the same story as Hong Ziqi, but there were some details that Hong Ziqi didn't know.
Old Madam Hong listened attentively. As she listened, she compared it with the surveillance video she had seen. Seeing that it was about right, she nodded and said, "I understand, Huining. The unexpected disaster of the Hong Corporation this time was indeed caused by you."
Guo Huining didn't have time to hide the smile on her face. It was like she had been slapped hard in the face. Her expression was almost distorted.
"… Old Madam, what are you saying?! How could it be them?! "She couldn't believe it and clenched her fists." That's impossible, right? You're saying that Gu Nianzhi did all this? How could she be so capable?! "
"I showed you that open letter and compared it. The data is definitely not something that … a liberal arts student who relied on the Huo family's power could put together!"
Guo Huining flatly denied it.
Old Madam Hong leaned forward expressionlessly. "You still think there's a mole?"
"Definitely!" Guo Huining answered without hesitation.
"Huining, you have to know that if a powerful family like the Huo family wanted to mess with us, they wouldn't have to do it themselves. There would naturally be countless capable people who would step in." Old Madam Hong looked at Guo Huining almost sympathetically. "… Do you think the Huo family needs to personally fight with you?"
"It's really her?!" Guo Huining's expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly and said agitatedly, "That's impossible! She's only engaged to Major General Huo. She's not even married. She can't even be considered a member of the Huo family! "
"Why would the Huo family use so much manpower and resources to help her get back at them?!"
Old Madam Hong sneered and shook her head. "Guo Huining, you still don't know what you've done wrong?"
Guo Huining saw Old Madam Hong's confident expression, and her heart suddenly sank. She felt dizzy and weightless as if she had stepped on air.
She fell back into her chair and muttered, "Impossible! This is impossible! How could she be so petty?! It's just a reserved seat, and she can make me lose everything?! "
Guo Huining's eyes turned red. "… Do I deserve to be bullied by her?!"
Old Madam Hong saw that she still hadn't turned around, so she tapped her fingers on the desk a few times and said, "You also know that it was just for a reserved seat. Then why didn't you restrain yourself at that time?!"
"You were overbearing and didn't give others face. You bullied them in front of so many people to give up their seats for you. Were you very narrow-minded?"
"Did you think of the consequences when you did things?!"
"… But that was just a reserved seat!" Guo Huining was still very unwilling. "And I did it for the benefit of the Hong Corporation! At that time, my friends in the investment bank wanted to sit in that seat. As a member of the Hong Corporation, what's wrong with helping them achieve their wishes?! "
"Bullsh * t!" Old Madam Hong finally couldn't help but curse. "Why do you have to support these people in the investment bank?!"
"Have you forgotten that we're their clients?! Not them, we're our clients! "
"They should be the ones begging us to let them do business! Not us begging them! "
Although Old Madam Hong didn't know much about the specific operation of going public, she had the common sense of the business world. She knew who was the client and who was the supplier.
"Besides, you're just having a lunch meeting. You can sit anywhere. You can have a meeting anywhere. "
Hong Ziqi saw that Guo Huining was crying and couldn't bear to see her cry. He quickly said, "Old Madam, you can't completely blame Huining. It's all Dou Aiyan's fault."
"Then she's even more wrong!" Old Madam Hong slammed the table. "How old is Dou Aiyan? How old is Guo Huining?! She was provoked by a person so much younger than her, and she really jumped into the pit dug by her. Is she shameless? "
"Actually, don't blame others for sowing discord."
"Mouths belong to others. Can you stop others from speaking?"
"But it's up to you whether you listen or not."
"Didn't Dou Aiyan succeed in sowing discord because Guo Huining looked down on Miss Gu from the bottom of her heart?" Old Madam Hong was old and had a clear understanding of the ways of the world.
Hong Ziqi was shocked and hurriedly said, "That's not possible! Why would Guo Huining look down on Miss Gu?! "
"Ask her yourself!" Old Madam Hong pointed at Guo Huining.
Guo Huining's eyes avoided Old Madam Hong's and she didn't dare look into Old Madam Hong's eyes.
Old Madam Hong snorted coldly. "If you didn't look down on Miss Gu from the bottom of your heart, why would you chase her away even though you knew she was Major General Huo's fiancée?!"
"I'm telling you, even the street vendors wouldn't be as blind as you!"
"You think you're the same kind of person as Miss Gu, so you want to compete with her? Do you think I can't tell?" Old Madam Hong hated Guo Huining to the core. She was determined not to give her any chance or give her any face.
"I didn't …" Guo Huining could only weakly refute, but she didn't sound as righteous.
"You didn't?" Old Madam Hong pursed her lips. "Do you think Miss Gu is like you, a graduate of B University's law faculty? Is she also like you, a child from a normal family? "
"But she can get engaged to someone at Major General Huo's level, and the wedding date has already been set for next year."
"And you, you can only suffer and get engaged to Ziqi, who even you look down on. You've been engaged for so many years, but the wedding date is still so far away! Aren't you very indignant?! "
Guo Huining's face paled. She didn't expect the shrewd Old Madam Hong to clearly see through her little thoughts.
"Do you really think you achieved what you have today by yourself? Without our Hong Group backing you up, you don't even know how many people you've offended! "
Old Madam Hong glared at Hong Ziqi in exasperation. "Ziqi, think carefully. If you insist on being with this woman, you will leave the Hong family. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Hong family!
"I will immediately remove your name from the will!"
Hong Ziqi froze for a moment and immediately said, "Old Madam, you can't threaten me like this!"
He held Guo Huining's hand and said agitatedly, "Huining has never been with me for our family's money or status!"
Guo Huining's feelings were extremely complicated, but she didn't want Hong Ziqi to leave the Hong family.
The Hong family was much more attractive to her than Hong Ziqi himself.
If Hong Ziqi left the Hong family, what would he be?
Guo Huining slowly freed her hand from Hong Ziqi's and stood up. "Young Master Hong, you don't have to fall out with Old Madam Hong like this. I'll leave. You don't have to leave the Hong family. "
With that, she turned around and left the Hong family's mansion resolutely.
Old Madam Hong glanced at the stunned Hong Ziqi and picked up the phone to say to her assistant, "Find me Miss Gu's number and help me make an appointment. I want to personally treat her to dinner and apologize to her."
"And Major General Huo Shaoheng, General Huo Guanchen, and his father, Grandfather Huo."
