Xue Mengqi's eyes widened. "Master, you …"
Gu Jingze looked at her. "Who let Mo Huiling in just now?"
Xue Mengqi shuddered under his gaze.
Gu Jingze sneered. "The security guards outside can't even handle this. They allowed a lunatic to come into our house and hurt people. Who are these security guards from?"
Everyone fell silent and looked at each other.
This banquet was organized by the clan members. Naturally, the security guards outside were also from the clan members.
At this moment, Xue Mengqi looked at him. "Master, have you regained your memory?"
Gu Jingze looked at her. "Xue Mengqi, you've put in so much effort to chase my wife out of the Gu family. You should know better than me why you're doing this. You want the position of the Matriarch. Your wild ambition is clear as day."
Xue Mengqi immediately said, "Master, what does this have to do with me? I was just pushed by everyone to compete for the position of the Matriarch. It's all because Lin Che has been spoiled by you that we don't feel safe. As the Master, the first thing you should do is to increase the security of the Gu family so that we can work together. But now, because of this woman, the Gu family is in deep trouble. We want her to leave the Gu family because we're worried and afraid. Our trust in you is decreasing. I don't want the position of the Matriarch. I don't want anything else, but I want Lin Che to leave all the Gu family's businesses."
Everyone felt that Xue Mengqi's words made sense. Suddenly, many people started shouting. "We want her to leave."
"That's right. We want her to leave the Gu family. Otherwise, we won't be able to accept it."
"We can't trust the Master either. She's so biased. We can't change our minds even if she's here."
Lin Che stood at the back and looked at everyone. Slowly, he took a step forward.
"I …"
However, her arm was still held down by Gu Jingze.
"Alright, since you've all said so." Gu Jingze held Lin Che's hand and interlocked their fingers. He lowered his head and looked at her. His eyes were full of love. He looked at her indifferently and his fingers tightened.
"I'll leave the Gu family."
The entire place fell silent, as if it was the end of the world.
What?
He'll leave the Gu family?
How can he leave?
Everyone looked at Gu Jingze.
"Jingze, don't be rash."
"That's right, Jingze, are you threatening us?"
Gu Jingze looked at everyone and said, "No, I've already made up my mind. I'll withdraw from the Gu Corporation and resign from my position as the head of the family. From now on, I, Gu Jingze, have nothing to do with the Gu Corporation. Please don't disturb my wife and I anymore."
Lin Che was surprised.
She looked up at Gu Jingze.
His side profile was filled with determination.
It was as if he had decided for a long time and would not change his mind.
Lin Che didn't know what to say. He just quietly held his hand.
Gu Jingze turned to look at her and smiled.
He said, "I'll take away what belongs to me. I won't take anything that doesn't belong to me. From now on, Gu's has nothing to do with me. I also hope that everyone can have a meteoric rise in the future. Without me, everyone can be more united and work together. Okay, that's all I wanted to say."
After saying this, Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che up, turned around and walked out.
Everyone was terrified, and for a moment, they were at a loss.
How could he say he didn't want it?
The Gu Corporation was such a big business. Was he going to let it go just like that?
Just because of a woman?
"Jingze, you can't just wash your hands of this."
"Jingze, you're too impulsive. Let's discuss this …"
The Gu clan members were a little flustered. After all, such a thing had never happened before. They didn't know what they should do if there was no one to be the head of the family.
This kind of chaos had not happened in the Gu family for many years. They really couldn't get used to it.
In particular, Gu Jingze's prestige in society and in the international arena was incomparable to anyone else's.
They didn't really want Gu Jingze to give up just like that.
At this moment, Xue Mengqi stood up and said, "Okay, the head of the family might be angry for a moment. Let's not be impatient about this. We'll take our time to think about it and find someone to persuade him."
Hearing Xue Mengqi's words, everyone felt that it made sense.
Who would let go of the Gu Family's great family business?
Xue Mengqi looked at everyone and then at Gu Jingze, who had already left.
She couldn't control the thoughts in her heart anymore.
When they returned to the Xue family, Xue Mengqi hurriedly said, "Father, Gu Jingze has resigned from his position as the head of the family. There's no one left to support the Gu family now. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Father Xue had just heard the report from his subordinates.
Father Xue said, "What do you mean? You want to do it?"
Xue Mengqi said, "Because I'm not born in the main family, I've always felt that it's unfair. How am I inferior to those men? Why can I only be the mistress of the family and not the head of the family? Father, help me. I'll definitely be able to sit in that position. When that time comes, the Gu family will be our world, and the Gu family's surname will be Xue."
Father Xue looked at Xue Mengqi's smug expression and hesitated.
He said, "Mengqi, you need to know one thing. After Gu Jingze leaves, the Gu family will no longer be the same."
Xue Mengqi said, "I know. Gu Jingze will naturally take away his own business, but it's still not as big as the entire Gu family's business."
"That's right. However, the Gu family's own business cannot be underestimated. The entire Gu family's business is the headquarters of all the Gu family members, including the three main families. That's why it's so big. However, the main family's business is the biggest, while the rest are scattered. That's why the Gu family's status is so high. Now that Gu Jingze has taken away a portion of it, the remaining portion is scattered, and it's not easy to manage."
Xue Mengqi said, "The portion that Gu Jingze took away is only a larger portion of the Gu family's business, so it's the biggest in the entire Gu family. However, after he takes away a portion of it, it's definitely not as big as the entire Gu family's business. Therefore, we're still the biggest. Although it's scattered and difficult to manage, if someone can unify it, even though it won't be as big as the Gu family in the past, it'll still be one of the few families in the world. Therefore, why can't we give it a try? This is definitely a good opportunity. Whether or not our Xue family can hold our heads high and become superior, and we don't need to look at other people's faces anymore depends on this."
Father Xue was naturally very interested in what Xue Mengqi said. Who didn't want to become superior?
Xue Mengqi said, "Right now, the Gu family is in chaos. At this time, if I, Xue Jian, can take the lead, then the world will belong to my Xue family in the future."
Xue Mengqi's father looked at Xue Mengqi and slowly clenched his fists. Success or failure depended on this. At worst, they would just fail. However, if they succeeded, as Xue Mengqi had said, the status of their family would not be the same anymore.
