The first thing Gu Shishi did every day when she woke up was to rub her tummy in a daze.
She had an illusion that her tummy had grown bigger, but at the same time, it didn't seem to have grown bigger.
After she finished rubbing her tummy, there would always be a warm hand next to her that would rub her tummy for a long time.
"Chuchu said that it's not good to call her 'A'. It's not domineering enough."
Her new aunt gave her precious advice as soon as she took office.
The man who was hugging her raised his eyebrows slightly.
"She'll think about it for a few days and give us some ideas."
Over the past few days, Gu Shishi had gradually realized that she was terrible at naming names.
However, the man beside her snorted softly. "She should take care of herself first."
The key wasn't A, but from A to K to Q … She didn't know anything and was just giving orders blindly.
Gu Shishi turned over lazily and rubbed under her pillow. After a long time, she couldn't find the phone that she had left on the bed before she went to bed yesterday.
"Here."
The man reached out and took it out from the drawer of the bedside table.
Obviously, he had kept it for her after she fell asleep.
"Why haven't you left the house?"
Gu Shishi would wake up naturally now, she wouldn't wake up until it was almost midnight.
It didn't make sense for a workaholic to still be in bed at this time.
"Yes, I'll take you to watch the live broadcast."
“？！”
Half an hour later, Gu Shishi finished washing up and couldn't wait to find out what was going on. However, Huo Sishen was still watching her calmly. She finished her nutritious breakfast slowly and then changed into a set of traveling clothes before he stuffed her into the car.
Now that the weather had turned cold, she was ordered to dress up tightly whenever she went out.
She wore a thick sweater paired with a super warm long down jacket. Not only did it cover her tummy, but it also covered everything below her knees!
Gu Shishi's aesthetic standards were almost ruined by the straight man.
Fortunately, she didn't look at herself in the mirror anymore. She would wear whatever clothes he brought.
In order to watch the live broadcast, she was determined to endure such a small matter!
"Whose show are we going to watch? Where are we going? You don't have to go to work today. Is it really okay to watch the show? "
After Gu Shishi got into the car, she unzipped her down jacket and loosened her scarf. She asked excitedly as soon as she sat down.
Huo Sishen held her small hands and found that they were warm, so he helped her take off her down jacket.
"We'll talk about it when we get there."
Gu Shishi's eyes lit up as she nodded obediently.
Well, haste makes waste!
On the spot, she took out her phone from her small bag, selected the audio reading app, and continued to listen to the Book of Songs that she had only heard half of last night.
As he listened, he silently memorized the good words.
In the car, Huo Sishen forbade her from reading any paper or e-books, saying that they hurt her eyes.
She was now using the audio to pass the time. At the same time, she would look out of the window. If she felt that the scenery was beautiful, or that the lanes of the Duga were like interchanging clouds and dragons, she would take a picture with her phone.
Draw on the local resources.
There were materials for her to learn from everywhere.
She didn't waste any time.
Huo Sishen found that she could enjoy herself, so he put on his Bluetooth headset and listened to his assistants' work reports for the day.
Si Yi, who was sitting in the front seat, watched the interaction between the two from the rearview mirror. A hint of admiration flashed across his tough face.
An outstanding woman was worthy of an outstanding man.
They said that they were going to watch the show, but the two of them didn't forget to work and study on the way there!
Look, this was the difference between them!
Why was Si Yi only a helper and not a boss? Was it because of his family background? No, it was because of his attitude!
Tsk!
Si Yi quietly took out his phone and wondered if he should download some planning app to study.
"Eh, this looks like the way to Doctor Qin's place?"
Gu Shishi narrowed her eyes halfway through taking a picture.
After the car drove halfway through the Duga and into a secluded path, she finally recognized it.
Sure enough, the car stopped in front of the private clinic.
Huo Sishen led her out of the car and went straight into the VIP ward through the clinic's small entrance.
Qin Ruhai's private clinic was famous in the circle.
The sterilization of every corner, equipment, medical staff, and patients, and the elimination of infectious diseases … It was to the point of haggling over every detail.
However, there were many rich people in the circle, and there were also many people who were fastidious.
The single infirmary here cost 20,000 yuan a week, and the best family infirmary cost 20,000 yuan a night.
Before Huo Sishen brought her in, he asked her to disinfect her hands and put on a medical staff's mask.
After checking that everything was fine, he led her to a VIP ward on the top floor and pushed the door open.
He didn't say anything, so Gu Shishi didn't ask. She cooperated and waited for the show to start.
Sure enough, she wasn't disappointed when she opened the door.
The leader of the Gossip Group, Qin Ruhai, was wearing a white coat. He was leaning on the side of the hospital bed that was said to be worth 100,000 yuan. It was a high-tech hospital bed that specialized in treating spinal diseases. He was leaning against the screen of his phone and had an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
Qin Ruhai looked up when he saw them enter. He raised his hand and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "You're here? You're quite punctual, aren't you? "
Huo Sishen nodded at him.
Qin Ruhai patted the bed and smiled flatteringly at them. "Come, you're the key personnel. Glorious mother, please take a seat."
Gu Shishi laughed speechlessly. "What are you two up to?"
She thought that the big shots who were obsessed with cleanliness would not come here for no reason.
"Don't worry, there's no one within a five-kilometer radius who has caught a cold. Come, the first seat."
Qin Ruhai threw away his unlit cigarette and dragged two round stools over.
He moved one of the stools under his butt and pushed the other to Huo Sishen.
Gu Shishi was about to ask more questions when she heard the crisp sound of high heels coming from the room next door.
She couldn't help but look over in confusion.
"Shh."
Qin Ruhai immediately lowered his voice.
"Don't make a sound. Just listen. If you need to go to the toilet, there's one in this room. "
Expectant mothers tended to urinate frequently.
Gu Shishi blushed and rolled her eyes at him.
However, the voice next door had already sounded.
"Dad, are you okay? I just received a notice from Auntie today. "
It was Gu Wushuang's delicate voice.
Gu Shishi was shocked.
"Uncle, now that things have come to this, you'd better be honest with me and Wushuang. What's the story behind your Jingde Real Estate? How much money is involved and who did you offend? Only then can we think of a solution. "
Huo Wencheng's steady voice sounded after that.
Gu Shishi quickly grabbed Huo Sishen's arm and looked at him in confusion.
Huo Sishen held her hand and stuffed a pillow behind her waist. Then, he took out a thermos flask from his coat pocket.
He had brought along his own tea and was well prepared.
[Gu Jiangxin had a small stroke. She was rescued in time and is recuperating next door.]
Qin Ruhai typed a line of words on the screen and handed his phone to her.
[Huo Wencheng asked me about the ward this morning, so I told him.]
[Our room is a mother-son room next door.]
The mother-son room was a room for gossip.
Gu Shishi immediately understood.
Then, she typed a line of words and returned it to him.
[The soundproofing is terrible. I definitely won't stay here when I'm giving birth.]
Qin Ruhai: "…"
[Sister, this is to prevent you from eavesdropping, so the small door in the middle …]
Before she could read Qin Ruhai's explanation clearly, a new sound came from next door.
It sounded like someone had knocked over a glass of water and it fell to the ground.
"Dad! Brother Cheng is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with him. The doctor said that you can't get angry. Otherwise, you might have another stroke. Next time, maybe … "
Gu Wushuang's voice sounded like she was about to cry. She couldn't finish her sentence.
After pausing for a long time, she continued to speak.
"Brother is still young. Dad, you should think about him."
Her voice was as soft as usual, and there was even a hint of weakness in it.
However, Gu Shishi, who was eavesdropping next door, had a complicated expression on her face.
Why did it sound so much like a palace drama?
The old emperor was seriously ill and couldn't attend court. The little crown prince wasn't old enough to be independent yet. The crown prince's mother had no background and wasn't capable enough.
As long as the old emperor breathed his last breath, the mother and son would be like duckweed without support.
Now, there were internal and external troubles. The relatives of the emperor were taking the opportunity to threaten the little crown prince and order him around!
Tsk, tsk. If Gu Jiangxin really passed away, who could he hand over the family assets and businesses to?
If he wanted to inherit it for his younger son, he had to have the ability to take it all!
When his son was still young, he had no other choice but to find a reliable regent to help him!
Gu Shishi's expression was full of admiration.
Gu Wushuang, this white lotus, was getting darker and darker.
She was ruthless and had good taste!
It had to be said that her courage couldn't even compare to ordinary men.
An adopted daughter with no blood relations was about to take over Gu Jiangxin's position when he already had a daughter and a son!
Gu Jiangxin next door seemed to have suffered a stroke in time. He was treated within the golden four-hour period. Although he wasn't fluent, his voice wasn't soft.
"You, you … you unfilial daughter!"
Even Gu Shishi could hear Gu Wushuang's intentions, let alone the old fox, Gu Jiangxin.
At this point, Gu Jiangxin finally realized that he had raised an ingrate!
Yes, he had cheated.
He wasn't a good husband or father. But he never expected that the daughter he had raised for so many years would find an outsider to support her and work together against him when he was bedridden!
If Mother Gu was benevolent and ignorant, then Gu Jiangxin was cold and emotionless. In an instant, he realized that he had made the wrong bet all these years!
He allowed Gu Wushuang to get in touch with Huo Wencheng. After he found his biological daughter, he didn't chase her away from the Gu family. This was simply inviting a wolf into the house!
"Dad …"
Gu Wushuang's sobs quickly sounded. She seemed like she was about to cry her lungs out.
"You can scold me however you want, but I can't let Brother Cheng be implicated because of me … Dad, do you really think that this matter will end with just a fine? The Huo family signed a contract with you, and now Brother Cheng is being dragged down and suspended by the board of directors! Dad, you've offended the higher-ups. As long as you're in the company, from Jingde Real Estate to the family … your life's work will all be lost. Brother Cheng's future will also be ruined!
"What will you leave for Brother Cheng after a hundred years …
"No matter how much you hate me, I have to say this. Wake up! Gather the company's board of directors. You … should take a long sick leave! "
Gu Wushuang's voice was sonorous and fluent.
Gu Shishi didn't believe that she hadn't thought of the lines in advance.
"Get lost!"
As expected, Gu Jiangxin flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"I … I'm not dead yet!"
Gu Wushuang's sobs were even louder. They almost drowned out Gu Jiangxin's heavy breathing.
Gu Shishi's ears pricked up. She was almost pressed against the wall.
But soon, Huo Wencheng's voice came.
"Uncle Gu, I've always respected you. You've always been a role model for the younger generation.
"In terms of influence in Jingde, the other two founders are far inferior to you. This is the company you built single-handedly, and it's also your child.
"But Jingde's stock price has plummeted. I heard that several internal shareholders' meetings have been held to discuss countermeasures, but to no avail. Uncle Gu, I also heard that the other two founders have other ideas, such as withdrawing from the Shen City market … "
"No, no way!"
Gu Jiangxin knew it all too well.
If they let Shen City's stock market fall, he would have nowhere to go. That would be the real end of his life!
The Zhang family was against Jing City, and Guangshen City was guarded by a century-old family. Jing De couldn't go anywhere he wanted.
The other second and third-tier companies couldn't have big returns in the short term.
What was worse was that even if Zhang De wanted to withdraw from the city, he wouldn't be allowed.
Who would let a big taxpayer on their land move?
At that time, not only would Mayor Liu be angry, but someone with a higher status wouldn't let him go!
Gu Jiangxin knew very well that although the situation was bad now, he could still hold on until he had a chance to breathe.
After all, he wasn't a tax evader.
He had only sent some gifts to his predecessors in the past, and these people had been transferred away. If they wanted to investigate now, they would have to take into account the current location of those people. They might not be able to find out everything about him and kill all the grasshoppers on the same rope.
When they met a hard stone, these people would naturally stop.
"Uncle, I heard that you gave District Chief Liu a painting, and that's why he was angry?"
Huo Wencheng paused.
"For the crime of bribery, you'll be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and a fine. If the circumstances are serious, you'll be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years. Uncle, that painting is worth 30 million, right? "
"You've broken the law. If the shareholders know …"
No matter how good the shareholders were at the time, once something happened, they would definitely report it for their own interests and first clean themselves.
"Dad, Mom and I tried to persuade you in the past."
Gu Wushuang sobbed again.
The word 'in the past' was like a ball of fire that completely burned the entire ward.
Gu Jiangxin almost jumped up from the hospital bed. He pointed at her nose and scolded, "You, you …"
This wolf's ambition!
He had done these things more than once.
In the past, he treated Gu Wushuang as his biological daughter. He never hid the fact that he had meals with certain district chiefs and secretaries.
He even often let his daughter socialize with the children of those big shots' peers.
He even let Zhang Wen attend a few gatherings of rich ladies. In the name of his wife, he had secretly sent a few gifts.
Zhang Wen knew a little about it, but she was never interested in it. She didn't have any evidence against him!
Gu Jiangxin was very sure. That was why he was so decisive and fearless during the divorce.
But now that these words came out of Gu Wushuang's mouth, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Gu Wushuang was crying the whole time. She sobbed as if she was the weakest person in the world.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I heard you talking to Uncle Chen on the phone once.
"At that time, I had just finished practicing the piano and came out to get some water … You know, in order to improve my piano skills, I always used my phone to record and compare the results of my practice every day. That day, I … I recorded everything! "
Gu Jiangxin almost fainted from anger.
Sin, he had committed a great sin!
What was he raising at home!
"I don't want to expose you, Dad. I don't want to go to that step, but … Dad, I beg you, Brother Cheng can't make any more mistakes now. His mother doesn't like me. If this goes on, Brother Cheng will really be expelled from the family!"
Her words were reasonable and affectionate.
For the sake of the man she loved, she seemed to be putting righteousness before family.
After she finished speaking, Huo Wencheng's affectionate voice sounded in the ward. He was obviously very touched.
"Wushuang."
"Brother Cheng —"
"Get … out of here!"
Gu Jiangxin shouted angrily.
"Uncle, I know it's hard for you to accept. But from the beginning to the end, you were the one who was at fault. You may not know, but the painting that you gave to District Head Liu was also taken by Director Zhou who accompanied you that day. "
Gu Jiangxin panted heavily.
Huo Wencheng had obviously gotten the photo taken by Director Zhou. "Catoptric Deflection. Uncle, your defeat is all in that painting. "
For a long time, the ward was silent. Then, an old man roared.
"No, impossible …!!"
"Please think about it. Wushuang and I will come to see you tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of high heels came from next door again.
Accompanied by Gu Jiangxin's almost irrational roar, the sound was getting farther and farther away.
…
When the room next door gradually quieted down, Qin Ruhai slowly tidied up his white coat and left with the couple to his office.
"Is he after the Gu family's wealth?"
Gu Shishi didn't mention any names, but the two men present knew who she was talking about.
He was chased out by Mrs. Huo and temporarily deprived of his inheritance rights.
Huo Wencheng turned around and accompanied Gu Shishi to conquer Gu Jiangxin's territory!
He wanted to use a 10-year prison sentence to force Gu Jiangxin to let go of the management rights of the company and the majority of the Gu family's wealth. He didn't know if Gu Jiangxin would agree in the end.
"Who cares!"
Qin Ruhai waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's a dogfight. Let's just watch the show!"
Huo Sishen glanced at him coldly.
Qin Ruhai felt a chill on the back of his neck and laughed. "Anyway, Sister-in-law is wise. This Gu Wushuang is very vicious. You're right to ignore her and stay away from the battlefield."
"Why can't I tell that this is a compliment?"
Gu Shishi snorted.
As expected, Huo Sishen glanced at Qin Ruhai unkindly.
"Hey, hey, hey. I'm providing the venue for you to watch the first-hand information for free. How dare you glare at me?"
Qin Ruhai picked up his phone.
"Oh yes, do you want to sell the recording to you for one million yuan? I'll give it to Mrs. Huo. Hahaha, let her see how vicious her future daughter-in-law is. She won't dare to let this little poisonous flower into the family! "
Huo Sishen didn't even look at him. He got up and helped Gu Shishi to leave.
Si Yi, who was standing beside them, waved the recording pen in his hand at Qin Ruhai.
Gu Shishi laughed. "Doctor Qin, how about three million yuan? The soundproofing is so bad. Do all your VIP patients know about this? "
Qin Ruhai: "…! F * ck! "
