CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: THE GU FAMILY WILL FALL APART SOONER OR LATER

Gu Kuangyuan sneered coldly. In his mind, she still didn’t rank, "I’m not going."

"Then I won’t guarantee what I’ll say to Seventh Uncle."

"You’re threatening me?"

Cheng Ye heard her anger, and he slammed the steering wheel hard. This woman, why still doesn’t understand his intentions? Now, it’s so hard to see her?

"Gu Kuangyuan, come out, I’m at your door."

Gu Kuangyuan’s heart skipped a beat. She looked towards the front gate, but it was far from here and out of sight.

Cheng Ye couldn’t hear her voice. He continued, "If you don’t come out, I’m going in, Xiao Yuan."

Gu Kuangyuan’s heart was in turmoil. He really would come in.

Why does he still act like this? Doesn’t he love her anymore?

Gu Kuangyuan tried to stay indifferent, "Wait a moment."

She tidied up her appearance and went downstairs anxiously.

There was quite a distance from the house to the front gate. They’ve walked this path countless times. During her school years, she was a few grades ahead of him. She often needed tutoring, he didn’t, but he would see her off.

When they were children, she was taller than him. As soon as he entered middle school, he quickly surpassed her in height, his shoulders slowly broadened, and he claimed he could protect her in the future.

Gu Kuangyuan was born to an older chairman. She was only a few years apart from her nephew, Gu Yikun. She was always the most pampered, unaware of life’s hardships, not knowing the treacherous hearts of people. Now grown up, she still speaks bluntly, not afraid to offend others.

Besides her family, the man she interacted with the most was Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye was a few years younger than her. In her presence, he always took care of her proactively, believing that this naive rich girl needed protection.

Cheng Ye, this man occupied her life for over thirty years. She used to rely on him so much, yet he hurt her the most.

She finally reached the gate. Cheng Ye stood under the tree waiting for her, it felt like returning to their youth.

Having undergone years of practice in law, he had shed the youthful immaturity, adding the steadiness of a mature man, becoming a top lawyer in court, feared by many.

If it weren’t for staying in the Gu Family, he might have already established his own top-notch law firm. Perhaps due to the financial support from his father and elder brother, he never considered developing independently. During his years at the Gu Family, he secured the greatest benefits for them in any legal issue.

She became increasingly unfamiliar with him.

Upon hearing the sound at the gate, Cheng Ye turned around. He was momentarily dazed, was this still his Xiao Yuan?

Years passed, and time left no trace on her face, only adding layers of coldness, reminding him she was not the same woman as before.

Gu Kuangyuan walked towards him. He suppressed the urge to hold her hand and opened the car door for her.

Gu Kuangyuan got in. He walked around to the other side and got in, starting the car towards the hospital.

Gu Kuangyuan broke the silence, "Yikun and Jun Xi won’t divorce. The shares won’t change, and whatever is given to An Junxi will still be given. You cannot tell Seventh Uncle this."

Cheng Ye turned to look at her for a few moments. She brushed the long hair beside her ear; her side profile became clearer, her skin like jade, the gloss on her red lips made him a little lost.

He said, "Xiao Yuan, you’re still so beautiful."

His voice was low, causing Gu Kuangyuan’s breathing to become slightly erratic, "Cheng Ye, what do you mean by saying this now?"

Cheng Ye said, "I have something to ask you."

"Ask."

"What conditions must be met to become the son-in-law of the Gu Family? If I’m not good enough, I’ll establish a law firm next year, which could be the exclusive firm for the Gu Family."

Gu Kuangyuan looked at him surprised. His gaze was resolute, speaking seriously.

Gu Kuangyuan tried not to get lost in his promises, "Cheng Ye, you left initially, and now you’re saying this, what do you take me for?"

Cheng Ye recalled the words spoken by Earl Tedmon in London years ago. He laughed bitterly, "Are you still unwilling to give me a chance?"

Gu Kuangyuan refused to answer.

Cheng Ye didn’t ask further. Maybe to her, he was still not good enough. In matters of love, his courage was limited.

Hospital.

A masked doctor holding a record sheet opened the corridor door, walking to a ward, the bodyguards at the door stopped him, "Are you the new doctor?"

The doctor showed a fierce look, pulling a knife from under the record sheet and attacking the two men’s abdomens.

The bodyguards were prepared, grabbing his wrist and kicking his lower body, easily subduing him.

This man was cunning, using the wall for leverage, flipping half his body, using his free hand to throw white powder, quickly escaping the guards’ notice towards the door.

The bodyguards chased after him, realizing something was amiss at the corridor door. As they tried to return to the ward, it was too late. The hidden men had already aimed guns at their backs.

The bodyguards were threatened to move to the safety passage, receiving a blow to the back of their heads, fainting at the back stairs.

Gu Kuangxia pushed open the ward door. Seventh Uncle was still asleep on the bed.

Seventh Uncle used to be so mighty, an elder of the Gu Family, no one dared to say "no" to him. Now, he was plagued by illness, lying in bed waiting for someone to feed him medicine.

He sat by the bed and spoke, "Seventh Uncle, I’m back."

Seventh Uncle woke from his stupor, opening his eyes to see Gu Kuangxia right in front of him, suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Something must have happened in the group; how did he return to the country?

Gu Kuangxia showed a face full of a small man’s ploy, "What are you afraid of, Seventh Uncle? I’ve always been filial. Knowing your health is not good, I’ve come back to send you off."

Seventh Uncle spoke weakly, "Rebellious son, you dare return?"

Gu Kuangxia laughed loudly, "I have my things here, why wouldn’t I dare return? Seventh Uncle, when you go underground, remember to ask my father, how am I inferior to Gu Kuangyong? He’s just a coward relying on his wife. If I married Liang Huiyun, the Gu Family would certainly be better now."

Seventh Uncle angrily said, "You dare speak such rebellious words. If Big Brother knew you repeatedly failed to reform, he would personally rectify the family discipline!"

"Heh, what family discipline does the Gu Family have now? Gu Kuangyong and Liang Huiyun are disloyal, Gu Qianlan served up and slept with, An Junxi caught in bed; their marriage is soon to end. If the media catches wind, it will be a big sensation. The Gu Family... should have scattered long ago!"

Seventh Uncle coughed violently, tremblingly pointing at Gu Kuangxia, "You, what did you say?"

Gu Kuangxia smiled maliciously, "You heard right, Gu Yikun is about to divorce. The Gu Family will scatter sooner or later."

Seventh Uncle’s chest tightened; it couldn’t be true. Yi Ke and Jun Xi could never divorce, Jun Xi would never do such a thing!

His sharp eyes stared at Gu Kuangxia, "Rebellious son, what tricks did you pull?"
