CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 208 JUST DON’T LEAVE

The news of Seventh Uncle’s death stirred up a huge commotion.

It’s said that this elder of the great family died unnaturally, the police have already intervened in the investigation, and media from all sides are swarming around Gu’s Headquarters like sharks smelling blood, hoping President Gu would give a few explanations.

The inside story of the struggles within wealthy families is always the most interesting topic for the public; everyone wants to know what really happened.

The Gu Family is not an ordinary chaos, the Gu family’s eldest daughter drugging and seducing Young Master Yin is already a big topic, who would have thought that the Gu Family, always reputed for its strict and dignified conduct, isn’t as pristine and straightforward as it appears.

The Gu Family is a century-old family, as soon as the news of Seventh Uncle’s death was announced, numerous clan members from around the world returned to Yan City to attend Seventh Uncle’s funeral.

Yan City was unprecedentedly bustling overnight; everyone was discussing the Gu Family’s affairs over tea and meals.

The police were searching the whole city for Gu Kuangxia, his partners cut off contact with him temporarily to avoid being implicated, making his actions highly restricted.

He had been away from Yan City for many years, coming back without any assistance, it truly was hard to succeed.

Gu Kuangxia did not expect Gu Yikun to cause such a big commotion, for a moment he was at a loss for how to deal with it.

He loaded bullets into his gun, his face full of malice.

If Gu Yikun wants to push him to a dead end, then he has no choice but to use his trump card to negotiate with him.

Gu Yikun held several meetings for consecutive days, Zha Zhuoxin, cooperating with the general manager in South Africa, was re-organizing the subsidiary, the news returned home, the PR team went all out to refute rumors, and by the time Gu Yikun suppressed everything, it was time for Seventh Uncle to be buried.

He stood by the office window, looking at the traffic below, feeling a loneliness from the high place.

Before, when she was by his side, no matter how busy his work was, seeing her would dispel all fatigue.

Besides her, no one had ever seen that President Gu would be under pressure.

Gu Yikun lit a cigarette, he was busy handling the company’s affairs, already several days without seeing her, wondering how she was now?

Gu Yikun could no longer suppress his intense longing inside, he extinguished the cigarette butt, picked up his car keys, and went downstairs.

He drove directly to her apartment, coming here required great courage.

The two elderly had not been seen up till now, he knew she did not want to see him.

An Junxi watched the news at home for several days, knowing that Seventh Uncle died, she cried her eyes dry.

She wanted to rush to the hospital, but now what position did she have to bid farewell to Seventh Uncle?

The negative news about the Gu Family had been one wave after another, An Junxi was constantly anxious, and seeing Gu Yikun calmly holding a press conference on TV, temporarily suppressing all matters, she slightly calmed down.

Gu Kuangxia was truly too terrifying, his return almost turned the entire Gu Family upside down.

Now An Junxi was genuinely afraid of him. When would he finally stop?

The doorbell suddenly rang, An Junxi was startled, sitting up, then she heard a familiar voice calling her: "Xi Xi."

It’s him.

An Junxi hurried to the door, her hand on the doorknob but not opening the door.

Gu Kuangxia had said she couldn’t see Gu Yikun again.

She leaned against the door, not responding, Gu Yikun spoke: "I know you’re inside, could you open the door? Let me see you."

This was the first time she heard his voice so powerless, An Junxi’s heart ached to death, she covered her mouth sobbing, "Leave, I do not want to see you, Dad and Mom aren’t coming back, I will leave Yan City, don’t look for me again in the future."

Gu Yikun’s fist landed on the door as he shouted, "An Junxi! Since being with you, how much have I changed for you, is my love for you not enough to keep you here!"

An Junxi fell to the floor sitting, she held her arm tightly, forcing herself not to soften.

"Gu Yikun, I’ve said many times, I do not want to be with you! I have slept with other men and still have feelings for others, do you still want to force me?"

Gu Yikun smashed the door fiercely: "An Junxi, you can only be with me, open the door! Look me in the eyes and say it again!"

An Junxi wiped her tears with her sleeve, not making a sound.

Thinking of the scene at the hotel, Gu Yikun wanted to kill someone, his woman, entangled with other men... Gu Yikun’s veins bulged on his fists, the anger in his heart clashed within his organs causing pain, he felt like a furious lion, but could find no outlet for his anger.

Finally, he pleaded: "An Junxi, tomorrow is Seventh Uncle’s funeral, come back as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Gu Family to send him off, I won’t mind anything, just don’t see You Ran again, I will treat you as well as before."

"If Dad and Mom truly don’t return... it’s my fault, I couldn’t bring them back, give me the chance to compensate you well, whatever happens, just don’t leave."

An Junxi bit her hand, her hand was cold and wet with tears.

Yi Ke, when did you ever beg a woman like this, why are you so good to me?

Gu Yikun stood outside the door waiting, one hour, two hours, three hours, still no response.

He had never lowered himself to plead with anyone like this before, she was the first.

A chill filled his entire body, "An Junxi, this is the last time I ask, are you coming back or not?"

An Junxi covered her ears, hearing his voice again, she would really throw caution to the wind and rush into his arms, telling him everything.

She knew she couldn’t afford to gamble, she couldn’t be so selfish, Dad and Mom were held captive every day, how could she only consider her own happiness?

"Fine, that’s your choice."

She heard his footsteps receding, finally disappearing, she cried out loud, "Yi Ke, I’m sorry..."

Gu Jinxiu was brought back to the country by the butler, everything at home had changed.

Great Uncle had passed away, and Mom was gone too.

Grandma told him, his mom fell in love with someone else, left their family, and would never return.

Gu Jinxiu did not believe it, he called his mom countless times, but she never answered.

With red eyes, he asked Mrs. He: "How could mom leave us? She said she loved Dad and me."

Mrs. He had aged a lot, the changes in the family made her lack energy to do anything, she sighed: "Young Master, never mention mom again, your father will be unhappy."

"You’re lying! Mom would never leave!"

Gu Jinxiu sat in the hall waiting for his father to return; he waited until after midnight, and finally, his father came back.

He had never seen his father so dejected; mustering courage, he asked: "Dad, where is mom?"

"She’s never coming back."

Gu Jinxiu threw the phone on the ground, ran upstairs, found everything An Junxi had given him, and threw it all into the pool downstairs.

"It’s all lies! I hate you!"

Liang Huiyun stood at the doorway watching him; she should never have let Jinxiu have a mother from the beginning.

Jinxiu turned back and saw his grandma, he rushed into her arms, crying: "Grandma, I don’t want mom anymore."

Liang Huiyun held him, "Jinxiu, if she wants to leave, no one can stop her."
