Gu Yanzhi herself was shocked by her own words.

He never knew that from the bottom of his heart, he had begun to suspect Gu Qingyao.

The love he once had was real, and now it was also real.

Gu Qingyao had already been disobedient too many times, so no matter how much love she had, Gu Yanzhi still had to think about his son's future.

But now, he suddenly realised, Mu Han had long ago sided with Gu Qingyao.

Gu Yanzhi frowned unhappily and said: "You can go back first. Since this matter has already been discussed and approved by the board of directors, what's the point in thinking about it now."

"The board discussed the U.S. listing at the time, but the final conclusion was also proven wrong, wasn't it?" Mu Han said tit for tat, "Mr. Gu, I think that a small number of times that we obey the majority might not necessarily be the case."

It was hard for Gu Yanzhi to describe the feeling he had felt when he looked at Mu Han, as if he had seen his second Gu Qingyao.

It shouldn't have...

Gu Qingyao was the first one to make a mistake, how did she become like this?

How could this child he raised abroad long ago form such a thought?

Gu Yanzhi was silent for a long time, then said indifferently: "This matter still requires long-term planning, but Mu Han, don't forget that you have just joined the company. Many of the things in the company, you may not be as clear as you think, so I did not plan to let you come into contact with the core of the power of the company too early, if you have anything to say at home, just say it, you don't go into the company and go against me, understand?"

"Yes." Mu Han hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Gu Yanzhi was finally satisfied and waved his hand. His face showed obvious exhaustion: "Alright, I'm back in my room."

Nian Wanru looked at Gu Qingyao worriedly, and extended her hand to protect Gu Qingyao as she went upstairs.

only looked at Gu Qingyao after she had sat down in her room. "Xiao Yao, was it you who advised your grandfather today?"

"Mn," Gu Qingyao hesitated for a moment, and in the end, blurted out. "But Mr. Li seemed to have told Grandfather about it before as well."

"Mr. Li?" Nian Wanru's face was full of surprise: "Didn't you and Mr. Li break up already?"

"We …" Gu Qingyao hesitated for a moment before continuing, "We did indeed break up."

Nian Wanru looked at Gu Qingyao suspiciously for a while before saying, "What do you think about that Officer Bai?"

"Mom, I'm only eighteen right now. I don't think I'm old enough to date." Gu Qingyao smiled as she moved closer to her. "I still want to stay by my parents' side for a few more years.

Seeing Gu Qingyao acting like a spoiled child, Nian Wanru was a bit helpless: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Qingyao laughed, "That's good then. Moreover," Gu Qingyao slowly stopped smiling, "I keep having the feeling that father has been acting very strange recently."

Gu Qingyao recounted the matter regarding the company's seal, causing Nian Wanru's face to slowly darken.

"Xiao Yao, before this, mother had never thought that this road would be so difficult. You are only eighteen years old … This is too cruel for you. " Nian Wanru reached out and covered the back of Gu Qingyao's hand, and said in a low voice: "Let your mother tell your grandfather, and let your grandfather help out. The Gu family does not dare to be too impudent."

Too presumptuous...

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly.

Were they not impudent enough in their previous life?

In his previous life, he and his mother had obviously given in. In the end, not only would they take away everything, they would even take away their own lives.

Isn't that presumptuous enough?

In any case, she wanted to avoid involving her grandfather as much as possible.

She understood Nian Jiangcheng's personality too well, he was the person Gu Yanzhi hated the most, he made Gu Yanzhi lose face and if Nian Jiangcheng really participated in it, Gu Qingyao would become extremely anxious.

Thinking of this, she decisively shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry mother, I can still hold on. Moreover, there is someone behind me accompanying me."

"Do you really think that Mr. Li will always be your backer?" Nian Wanru almost blurted out.

Gu Qingyao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I did indeed think so."

Nian Wanru's expression was very complicated, "Mother also hopes that there will be a person who will love you for life and that you will love him, but Mr. Li is not suitable for that. He has too many secrets on him that are not related to the Gu family, and even if he is close to you, he might have other plans. that person is someone who wants to establish a family with you, Xiao Yao... "Think about it yourself."

After Nian Wanru finished speaking, she did not give Gu Qingyao a chance to argue any further, and turned to leave the room.

Gu Qingyao lied on the bed for a long time without falling asleep.

She let out a light sigh, and looked at the record of her conversation with Li Muyan.

Time was always fixed, and Li Muyan would definitely not contact him for an afternoon every week …

Gu Qingyao flipped it around for a while. Sometimes it was Monday, sometimes it was Friday.

Where did he go that afternoon?

Gu Qingyao was not a person who liked to pry into the secrets of others, but she suddenly felt a little scared with regards to Li Muyan.

The relationship between them was so warm and harmonious, but it was never unbreakable.

Gu Qingyao understood it too well, so she became even more cautious and cautious.

Just as she was about to dial Li Muyan's number, her phone rang.

It was the United States.

Gu Qingyao took a glance and frowned slightly. "Is that Miss Gu?"

"Yes, I am."

"Hello, I am a policeman from the Police station of Los Angeles. My police number is A3037, and I am in the middle of dealing with the case of Miss Ling Yiyi's disappearance. According to the records, Miss Ling Yiyi had called you before she went missing, do you have any impression of her?"

Gu Qingyao slightly frowned, and immediately turned on the recording button.

"No idea. When was that?"

"It was three days ago. The call indicated that you did not pick up. May I ask what is your relationship with Miss Ling?" the man across from him asked.

Gu Qingyao smiled lightly. "She is the daughter of the one who my father helped in the past."

"Miss Gu, we hope that you can help us out as much as possible. According to what Ling Yiyi said in her social circle here, she claims to be the daughter of the Mr. Gu, and that we are sisters." The man opposite said, "This is the Los Angeles Police Department. If you insist on lying, then we have the right to hold you accountable."

Gu Qingyao's identity that was accepted in the country was adopted by Ling Xiaoman in the orphanage by my father. If you prefer to believe Ling Yiyi's words, not the official documents, then feel free to do so. This phone call has already been recorded by me, so I will verify your identity.

The call was abruptly cut off.

Gu Qingyao slightly bent her lips.
