After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuanzhou looked in the direction of Song Shixiong, his voice slow and mournful.

“Ayun had no parents. It was my uncle who single-handedly raised her. He is like her father, hence, 1 wish to respect his decisions regarding the inheritance.’

Song Shixiong remained silent for a few seconds.

“Very well! Ayun was a kind soul. She had a special love for children in her lifetime. I plan to use this money to set up a fund to help disadvantaged children who are unable to afford their education.’

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou calmly rejected the idea.

“Uncle, I believe Ayun cared the most about the Zhenyi Company during her lifetime. She hoped for the continued development and growth of Zhenyi

Company. At this moment, 1 do not recommend pulling out half of the funds.”

Song Shixiong was quite angry, his voice noticeably raised.

“So you mean to say you’re disagreeing?”

“Not exactly, I merely wanted to correct you, Uncle, that was not Ayun’s testament! ”

Song Shixiong scoffed,

“Don’t think I’m unaware you’re using Ayun to make a profit! I won’t trace into it further, but you should know where to stop. She’s gone, do not use her name to exploit others anymore!”

“Uncle, everything I did was for Zhenyi! Zhenyi Company was all of Ayun’s hard work! If she were still alive, she would also never want to see the company she painstakingly established be broken down.”

Gu Yuanzhou was a businessman, and at this moment, his businessman side was undeniably revealed.

He was unwilling to take a step back.

He had no intention of sharing his fortune with Song Shixiong.

While his tone seemed modest on the surface, the moment profits were involved, he became sharp immediately.

“Ayun was brought up by me, wouldn’t I know better what her hopes were?”

“Uncle, you don’t need money, why break down Zhenyi Company? But I request you, please give Zhenyi a chance to survive! I really don’t want to see it fall!”

“So you’re defying me?”

“Not at all, Uncle, you are my rock, I have no courage to defy you!’

This dispute did not end harmoniously.

In fact, this was the first time I saw Gu Yuanzhou daring to argue with Song Shixiong.

Previously, Gu Yuanzhou was always submissive in Song Shixiongs presence, never daring to resist.

But now, he was presenting himself as someone who no longer regarded Song Shixiong’s words.

Either due to my passing, he no longer cared about showing decent respect for Song Shixiong.

Or, he had grown more assertive!

Regardless of which was the case, it was beyond my ability to stop it.

Song Shixiong finally left in anger.

Despite everything, Gu Yuanzhou respectfully walked Song Shixiong to the door.

However, after Song Shixiong left,

Yuanzhou spent a long time smoking alone in his office.

With a furrowed brow, it seemed as if he was bothered by something.

1 silently stood by his side, seemingly accompanying him, but truly observing.

When he finished smoking, he looked at me!

“What’s on your mind?”

“Your family matters, President Gu, I would rather not intervene!” “Around me, you don’t need to be so cautious! Feel free to voice your thoughts!’

“l only have one suggestion, that is…to let Mrs. Gu and the two children be laid to rest as soon as possible!”

That was my honest thought.

In fact, I don’t want Gu Yuanzhou to exploit his dead wife’s name to make a profit.

Whether it was intentional or not, he shouldn’t.

Gu Yuanzhou chuckled lightly. He stood up and walked to the window. After taking a smoke, he said:

“The compassion of a woman! It’s indeed a hindrance to great achievements!”

Then he sighed,

“At your age, it’s natural for you to not understand.”

His remarks on ‘the compassion of a woman’ left me feeling cold.

Did he think that people who had passed on no longer deserved sympathy?

Or, did he plan to continue exploiting this situation?

“President Gu, you look unwell. Would you like to rest earlier?”

“No need. I still have more work to handle!”

Gu Yuanzhou indeed was a workaholic.

He spent the whole afternoon signing all the documents that had piled up over the past two days.

Then he had to attend a meeting…

Perhaps his injuries were too severe, he actually fainted in the meeting.

I had to rush him to the hospital again.

Upon examination, the doctor found out that Gu Yuanzhou’s wound had reopened and required stitching once more.

All the work he had done today was completed while bearing intense pain.

You can’t deny, he truly is a workaholic…

At eight in the evening, I went to see Wenya again, and took Wenya to visit Su Peisheng.

I told them all the strategies I could think of to confront Gu Yuanzhou.

Su Peisheng gave me a thumbs up,

“This method will work! We’re lucky to have you!’

Wenya, on the other hand, was very angry. Whilst drinking her coffee, she voiced her grievances about Gu Yuanzhou.

“l never thought that in my life, 1 would have to use such base methods for dealing with a man…”

Su Peisheng patted her shoulder,

“Where there are people, there are disputes! This is how it is in the business world. It seems that Miss Wen is too naive…

Wenya frowned at Su Peisheng,

“Quit the sarcasm! Actually, I despise lawyers the most! Always picking at words on paper, digging pits in contracts. Simply put, they’re lawful swindlers.’

Su Peisheng adjusted his tie,

“Ahem, Miss Wen, let me remind you! Offending a lawyer is not a wise move.”

Wenya wasn’t one to back down either,

“l am your benefactor! Do you believe that I could fire you right now?” Su Peisheng just shrugged,

“Do you know? Not many people in A City dare to go against Gu Yuanzhou!

The only person who dares to take him on directly is me!”

“Keep bragging, he’s not the mafia, what’s so great about him?”

“Hey, it seems like you really don’t know what kind of person Gu Yuanzhou is, let me tell you…”

“Enough, quit trying to deter us with tales of his might. Tell me, can you do it or not? If not, I’ll find someone else!”

“Ah, such a stubborn woman. How do you even teach children at this level?

Isn’t this leading them astray?”

The two of them ended up in a heated argument.

Their faces were flushed with indignation. In the end, Wenya slammed the table,

“Ayun, I don’t need him. I will negotiate with Gu Yuanzhou myself!”

“Uh…

Before I could respond, Su Peisheng stormed out,

“I’ve never seen such a foolish woman. If it were not for Miss Song, 1 wouldn’t bother negotiating with you. Fine, I’m not involved in this anymore; do as you wish.” He said before walking out. “Hey, Wenya!’

Wenya, however, reassured me,

“What’s he trying to imply? He was handsomely paid to bail me out, even taking 300,000 from you. Now, he gets paid and acts high and mighty. I don’t want to deal with him anymore. Ayun, you don’t have to worry. Now that I’ve had my first experience, I know how to handle Gu Yuanzhou.”

Wenya’s words did not reassure me. Considering how calculating Gu Yuanzhou is, can Wenya truly handle him?

After dinner, around nine, I went to the hospital again to see if Gu Yuanzhou had regained consciousness.

As soon as I stepped into the ward, I noticed there was an additional woman in the room..
