Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to look at the man in front of her. His originally red hair had been dyed black. There was a hint of roguishness in his eyes but also a hint of steadiness. The previously reckless Gu Yao seemed to have become a different person.
Gu Yao seemed to have grown up overnight. He went from a child to a domineering man. He used his abilities to prove that he was not just a playboy. He could also manage the Gu family.
When Gu Zheng was around, Gu Yao could be the second young master of the Gu family in peace. But now that Gu Zheng was not around, he would definitely not let outsiders take over the Gu family. His image of a rich playboy was just a disguise. He was Gu Zheng’s younger brother, so he was naturally not bad.
At this moment, his gaze was sharp. The moment he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes turned slightly red as if he had a thousand things to say.
Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with gratification as she praised Gu Yao in her heart. She stood up to welcome him and was about to speak…
“Damn! I really have to take my hats off to you! I didn’t expect managing the company to be so tiring! Qiao Xi, I’ve been dealing with those old guys all day. I’m so annoyed!”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Where’s the domineering Gu Yao from earlier?’
Gu Yao cried and said, “Qiao Xi, I originally thought that being the president was easy, but I didn’t expect it to be so tiring! When will Gu Zheng recover? I really don’t want to manage this lousy company anymore! Why don’t you take over?”
Gu Zheng leaned against the hospital bed with a book in his hand. Without raising his head, he said, “I have nothing to do with Gu Corporation. I don’t have any shares and have no right to manage it.”
Gu Yao hurriedly said, “I’ll give you all my shares!”
Gu Zheng slowly lifted his eyes and said lightly, “I don’t want them. Gu Corporation is under your control.”
The ward suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Gu Yao widened his eyes in shock. “No way! You want to throw this mess to me? I’ve already been the acting president for a week. Do you want me to be the president for the rest of my life? Boo-hoo… Gu Zheng! You can’t do this to me! I’m just a playboy. I’ve already used up all my energy to manage the company for a week. Don’t make things difficult for me!”
Qiao Xi listened to Gu Yao’s crying and even wondered how Gu Yao had the ability to fight with Lu Yan.
Gu Yao was like a pitiful puppy bouncing in front of the hospital bed. There were tears in his eyes as he said pitifully, “Gu Zheng, I’m your biological younger brother! You can’t treat me like this!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm. “How is the company doing now?”
At the mention of the company, Gu Yao’s confidence was boosted as he said proudly, “Don’t you know who I am? How can I let Lu Yan, that dog, snatch things from me? If I lose to him, where will I put my dignity in the future? But I didn’t expect this dog to have some skills. He actually…”
Gu Yao’s voice suddenly stopped. There was something that had been bothering him. Gu Zheng and Lu Yan both shared the same mother, but why did she only help Lu Yan and never cared about Gu Zheng?
Gu Zheng smirked. “Very good.”
Although it was just two words, it was still a compliment. If it were any other time, Gu Yao would have been so happy that his tail would be up in the air. But right now, his expression was dark. “Gu Zheng, I’m really tired. I don’t understand why Dad would do this to you.”
Actually, his parents doted on Gu Yao a lot and had never treated him badly since he was young. They would give him money and help him settle any trouble he caused. However, he had never experienced kinship in this family because everyone in this family was very cold and only cared about benefits.
For example, they were actually able to make a move on their biological son, Gu Zheng, for Lu Yan’s sake. In that case, wouldn’t they have to deal with him in the future as well?
For Lu Yan, they could give up their other two sons. Did they have to cause chaos in the family and kill each other?
“Of course, you don’t understand his thoughts,” Gu Zheng said nonchalantly.
Gu Yao was confused. Was there a reason behind this?
Then, Gu Zheng said seriously, “You’re a normal person. Of course, you wouldn’t understand the thoughts of a scumbag. The world is big, and there are all kinds of strange things. You guys aren’t of the same species, so there’s no need to understand his thoughts. You just have to be good and not lower yourself to the level of a retard.”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Is it really okay for you to say that your father is an idiot? You’re being unfilial!’
