Lin Gantang was a little touched. So her Dad’s love for her was so deep?
Ah, to finally experience the feeling of a father’s love.
She had wronged her Dad.
Lin Gantang felt she was too insensitive, and her annoyance was unjustified, so she hoped to say a few words to him. However, she soon discovered her father giving Wen Yanqing marital advice.
“Don’t spoil her too much. Once you spoil her, she’ll always want to show off.”
“What if she comes running to you, Uncle, when she feels wronged? You know my temperament; I don’t have the heart to treat her poorly.”
“If you can’t bear to scold her, send her back. Uncle will uphold justice for you.”
Lin Gantang was speechless. Hadn’t he gotten things backward?
If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Tongtong didn’t need to lie, she would have suspected that Jiang Tongtong’s words just now were merely meant to comfort her.
Seeing as they were busy discussing other matters, Lin Gantang returned to her room to play a few mobile games.
She stared at her phone. When did Gan Minglu send so many messages?
Lin Gantang turned off her phone’s silent mode and read the texts from the beginning.
It turned out that Gan Minglu had just heard about her injury. Although it had been some time since the incident, hearing his concern for her was still a pleasant surprise. He also took the opportunity to complain about the Gu family.
Lin Gantang did not pay much attention to the Gu family, so everything he texted was news to her.
The Gu Corporation’s shares suddenly plummeted. A group of people had bought many shares and found an opportunity to sell them in one go, causing the stock price to plummet and the market value to shrink drastically.
It was normal for stocks and shares to go up and down. The Gu Corporation did not pay much attention to it at first, but after a while, they realized there was a problem and rushed to stabilize the situation. Yet, nothing they did to rectify the issue worked, as if some phantom hand was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The stock price continued to fall, almost losing its value entirely. If the share price remained so low, other companies would take the opportunity to acquire it.
Therefore, the Gu Corporation took drastic fiscal action, but its market value continued shrinking, tarnishing its image. It led to much speculation by market analysts, many of whom believed something terrible had happened, and the company could no longer be trusted, thus causing the company to lose even more funds as investors grew wary of the situation.
Gu Zhichuan was in a terrible state. He was still trying to find the one responsible for the damage done to the company while managing the company’s deteriorating public relations.
When Gu Shuyue was exposed to be in a relationship with a popular young man, someone dug up all her past misdeeds. The way she toyed with people’s feelings, causing men to abandon their wives and children, breaking up families, and the like – all of it was exposed. That young man was just one of many.
Even her time as a student was brought to light: bribes made to the teachers to look the other way or boost her grades.
When the rich toy with the lives of others, it immediately draws public outcry.
Gu Shuyue’s actions were another blow to the Gu Corporation, worsening the situation.
Everyone condemned Gu Shuyue. She was now a social pariah, not daring to step out of the house.
Gu Guoliang was so angry that he slapped her.
Gu Shuyue covered her burning face. “These are my matters. Don’t you think you’re being unreasonable for blaming your mismanagement of the company on me? I can’t accept this!”
“I’m going to wake you up, you unfilial daughter!” Gu Guoliang slapped her again. “You’re a girl, yet you’re so promiscuous. Don’t you know your mistake?!”
Gu Shuyue was extremely embarrassed. Mrs. Gu’s heart ached as she stood before her daughter, shielding her from further blows. “She’s only a child. Why’d you hit her? How can you call your daughter a slut!”
Gu Guoliang did not feel sorry for the two of them. Mrs. Gu stopped him, and he hit her as well.. “If you hadn’t spoiled her, would she be so unrepentant now?! Get out, and don’t come back!”
