Father Xue looked at her. "Okay, go do it."
Xue Mengqi's face lit up when she received her father's affirmation.

At that moment.
Gu Jingze divided up the Gu family's businesses and had people take away the things that belonged to the direct descendants of the Gu family.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, watching him silently from behind.
He gave orders in an orderly manner, standing in that position like a king.
She had sat in that position before. She knew that it was not an exaggeration to say that sitting there was a multitude of things to deal with.
Although it was a busy place with great responsibilities, it also gave people a sense of honor.
Gu Jingze was born with the ability to handle so many things and manage such a huge business.
He also had this responsibility. He had been recognized as the successor of the Gu family since he was young.
But now, he had to leave this family.
Lin Che's heart ached for him, and she couldn't bear to see him leave.
He should be the king here. If he were to leave just like that, he would feel terrible.
Lin Che looked at him. "Gu Jingze."
He looked up and smiled at Lin Che. "What is it?"
Lin Che got up and walked over. She gently supported him. "Is this okay? If you leave the Gu family … your position as the Patriarch … "
"If I'm not the Patriarch of the Gu family, will you still be with me?" He held her hand and kissed it lightly.
Lin Che said, "Of course I will. Am I with you because you're the Patriarch?"
Gu Jingze smiled. "So, even if I leave the Gu family, so what? If I'm not in the Gu family, so be it. It doesn't matter."
Lin Che said, "I don't want you to regret it in the future."
"I won't regret it as long as you're by my side." He smiled at her.
Lin Che hugged him. "Whether you're the Patriarch of the Gu family or not, you'll always be the strongest person in my heart. There's nothing you can't do. There's no man in this world who can be more powerful than you."
She looked at him. "Even if you're no longer the ruler of this world, you're still the king in my heart."
Gu Jingze looked at her, smiled, and patted her shoulder.
Lin Che said, "Alright, do you need me to do anything?"
Gu Jingze said, "I need you to be my wife, Lin Che. Now that I've left the Gu Family, I don't have so many things to deal with. I hope we can hold our wedding."
Lin Che was stunned.
How, how long has it been?
Their second child, Shi Yuan, was already two years old. There was no need to hold a wedding.
Gu Jingze said, "I've always said that I want to give you a proper wedding, but I never had the chance. Now, I have the chance. We have a lot of time to plan our own wedding. I hope to give you a wedding that I can give you. It's not like the wedding of the Gu family in the past. It's the wedding of the head of the Gu family. This wedding is my wedding with you."
Lin Che's heart warmed. He looked at Gu Jingze and felt touched that he was still thinking about this matter.
Blushing, she said, "Do what you want."
He kissed her forehead. "I want to give you an unforgettable wedding. I will prepare this wedding well. You just need to be happy with your bride."
The two of them hugged and leaned on each other. After a long time, he continued to call for people to sort out the documents.
The news that Gu Jingze was going to leave the Gu family and resign from his position as the head of the family had spread in the circle.
However, the Gu family had purposely blocked this news, so most people did not know about it.
The Gu family was still in chaos. The family was divided into two factions. One faction wanted to persuade Gu Jingze to come back, while the other wanted to choose another head of the family.
Although the Gu family was one and shared honor and disgrace, the family's businesses had always been managed by the family itself. It was only in principle that they had to be in line with the rest of the Gu family.
So even if Gu Jingze resigned from his position, the Gu family would be without a leader, but there wouldn't be too much trouble.
After Gu Jingze divided the family's businesses, the Gu family seemed a little weak. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Gu family was still the most powerful family in Country C.
During the family meeting, the issue of the head of the family was brought up. Someone said, "Jingze was too impulsive this time. What's the big deal if he leaves the Gu family? He used to be the most powerful person in the entire C country. If he leaves the Gu family, he'll have nothing. He'll be nothing. Think about it carefully, he won't leave so easily. I think he'll come back."
"That's right. Does he think that our family can't survive without him? He thinks too highly of himself. Is he waiting for us to beg him to come back? That's impossible. On the contrary, if he wants to come back now, he will have to ask for our opinions."
The people on the other side looked at them with disdain. They said it as if Gu Jingze would starve to death if he was alone outside.
Everyone sat together and recommended someone who was suitable for the position for the time being.
Among them, many of the clan members recommended Xue Mengqi.
After all, Xue Mengqi was their representative now.
Moreover, the Xue family might have secretly given them a lot of benefits.
Therefore, Xue Mengqi should be the one with the most support.
However, because the family that wanted Gu Jingze to come back did not agree, there was no news about it.
All the matters in the headquarters were now handled by several families together. It was a little chaotic.
Xue Mengqi was also among these families, handling the affairs in the headquarters.
She looked at the office in the headquarters.
It did not look that eye-catching from the outside, but it was like an underground palace on the inside.
She looked at it. She wondered if it was because this place represented the highest power in the Gu family, so every corner of this place seemed to be exuding extreme nobility.
She could not help but be fascinated by it.
Especially when she thought of how Gu Jingze used to sit in this office chair, commanding thousands of troops and horses, and how many people in the Gu family worked hard to carry out his orders.
That was really something to look forward to.
She seemed to be eager to ascend to that position and make everyone in the Gu family bow down to her.
That feeling of being an emperor was really satisfying to her.
In the future, would her name, Xue Mengqi, be spread in the business world, just like the rumors about Gu Jingze?
Would there be many people who would tremble in fear when they heard her name?
Would there be people who would say that she was cruel and merciless, but they could not help but be subdued by her power?
Thinking of how Gu Jingze was like this in the past, she felt that she would be like this when she sat in this position.
