“You all can only be fine if he’s fine! Therefore, I don’t care who, or what method you use, this matter has to be suppressed. Protecting Gu Fei’s reputation also means protecting our Gu family’s reputation! So, ladies! I want you to come up with a feasible solution right now!”
Bai Jie’s words were directed at everyone, but her gaze remained only on Yun Liu. Bai Jie’s intentions were clear, so Yun Liu had no choice but to straighten her back and utter through gritted teeth, “I’ll go explain to the media—”
“Explain? Do you think you can successfully explain this away?” A clear and cool voice rang out from the doorway. Chen Yao strode in and coldly glanced at Yun Liu.
“Auntie, what brings you here?” Bai Jie hurriedly stood up and respectfully asked. Chang Hui and Zheng Xiu also quickly and courteously stood on both sides as they greeted Chen Yao. All the Gu family’s young ladies also stood up to greet her, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
Chen Yao swept a gaze at them all before sitting herself down on the seat Bai Jie had given to her. She frostily uttered, “The Gu Corporation’s stock price is about to collapse, and you culprits are still here arguing amongst yourselves. It’ll truly be a letdown to your filial efforts if the Gu family doesn’t collapse!”
Bai Jie was visibly embarrassed. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family and with her parents-in-law having long passed away, she was the leading senior of the Gu family and was used to being the domineering figure. Although Chen Yao was her elder, the old lady had never interfered in their matters, so naturally, she’d never spoken harshly to her.
However, Chen Yao’s seniority was an undeniable fact. She was Bai Jie’s elder and it wouldn’t be too much even if the old lady asked her to kneel and be lectured. Bai Jie was just… not used to it.
Chen Yao’s gaze landed on Gu Fei, who was curled up in a corner playing games on his phone. The women of the family were in an uproar quarreling with each other, but he acted as if it had nothing to do with him at all. He didn’t lift his eyes off his phone or bat an eyelid, because even if the sky fell, someone would take care of it for him anyway. When Chen Yao came in, he only got to his feet because his sister dragged him up, and then he sat back down again.
Chen Yao calmly stated, “Gu Fei, your granduncle has already gone to the company to discuss this with the shareholders. If the shareholders still won’t let you off the hook, your granduncle will take over your Gu Corporation!”
“What?!” Bai Jie cried out in shock but quickly shut her mouth when Chen Yao looked over. Only then did Gu Fei put down his phone and stared at Chen Yao, dazed.
Chen Yao said to Gu Fei, “Your father and uncles worked hard to develop the Gu Corporation to where it is today, all to pave the way for you, the family’s sole male heir. But from what I’ve seen, you don’t care for it. Since that’s the case, why not be a wealthy idler?”
“Although your granduncle has not involved himself in the Gu family’s matters for a long time, he’s still part of the family. In order to let you live a carefree life, he’ll just have to work hard once more and take over the Gu Corporation!” Chen Yao uttered in an indifferent tone.
