Cao Meng immediately responded, tightening his grip on Gu Ruyan's calf even more, with a provocative and ruthless air.
"Exactly! She's an outsider, just a woman who climbed up the social ladder by sleeping around. What right does she have to hold onto most of Gu's shares? Yanyan, you have to take those shares back yourself! We brothers will risk everything to avenge you!"
He paused here, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"But Yanyan, once we help you get back the Gu Group shares, could you... reward us with a few shares each?"
The name "Su Yutang" was like a red-hot needle, piercing deeply into Gu Ruyan's heart.
The smile on her face froze instantly, and her expression darkened visibly.
That little bitch!
On what grounds?
Gu Ruyan endured so many years in the Gu family, only to have half of the Gu family's empire snatched away by a woman of unknown origin.
She already hated Su Yutang to the core, but the people around her, including Liu Ma, had long been bribed by her good son and were controlled at every turn, so she couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.
Looking at the bodyguard in front of her who was completely obedient to her, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.
Isn't this just a knife delivered to your door?
Just then, Liu Ma and the others were sent out by her to clean the ancestral hall, leaving only the two of them in the entire hall.
She immediately sat up straight, her tone cold and ruthless.
"Qin Han, Martin, Cao Meng, and Commander Li, listen up!"
"Whoever can make that bitch Su Yutang disappear completely, I'll give them 5% of Gu's Group's shares!"
The four men's eyes instantly turned red, greed creeping into them like poisonous vines, and they immediately vied to pledge their loyalty.
Martin: "Don't worry, honey! We've got this covered!"
Cao Meng: "Yanyan, we'll definitely make it a perfect event!"
Commander Li: "My Yanyan, we will follow your lead for the rest of our lives!"
Qin Han lowered his voice and said in a sinister tone, "My dear Yanyan, I've found out that Su Yutang has a younger brother. His company will open in a few days. On that day, there will be many people and the scene will be chaotic, making it the perfect time to strike."
Gu Ruyan's eyes suddenly lit up, a surge of pent-up resentment and pleasure welling up within her. She gritted her teeth and laughed, "Fine! I'll be waiting for your good news! Don't disappoint me!"
Two days later.
On the 10th floor of Shuiyun Bay Apartment, workers are working overtime to decorate the apartment.
The carpet in the lobby was only half laid out when faint sounds of "ah ah ah" came from upstairs.
One of the workers finally snapped and yelled at the ceiling, "Damn it! Are you trying to kill us? We've been working day and night for the past few days, aren't we ashamed? Aren't we shameful?"
The furniture mover next to him wiped his sweat, dried his face with a towel, and advised, "It's alright, it's just a young couple. Maybe they're reunited after a long separation, or maybe they just got married. Why are you bothering them?"
The voice just fell.
Several faint cries came from upstairs, making the workers freeze.
The worker who had been swearing earlier couldn't take it anymore and threw his tools on the ground.
"I can't take it anymore! I have to go back to my wife and take care of this, otherwise I'll suffocate!"
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
The other workers listened until their mouths went dry, and they all swallowed hard.
One of them put down his tools, tugged at his collar, and muttered under his breath, "Why is it so hot today?"
His coworker next to him rolled his eyes at him.
"It's because you're warm-hearted."
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get to work. Once you're done, we can go home early."
The group exchanged glances and silently sped up their work.
A few hours later.
Shen Jibai held Su Yutang tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Su Yutang nudged him and got out of bed unsteadily.
"I'm going to take a shower. Could you make the bed and change the sheets?"
Shen Jibai hummed in agreement and then followed her into the bathroom without leaving her side.
The water from the showerhead poured down as he tenderly rubbed her hands.
Su Yutang glared at him: "What? You still want to go to the bathroom...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jibai leaned closer with a low laugh.
"So Tangtang likes being in the bathroom..."
Su Yutang's heart skipped a beat. She shrank back, pressed her back against the wall, and raised her hand to press against his chest.
"Shen Jibai, don't come any closer..."
Shen Jibai was now completely captivated. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, his murmurs drowning out the tenderness of their embrace.
"Tangtang, be good... Tangtang doesn't need to do anything... just stand there... don't worry about anything else..."
"Shen Jibai...you're so annoying...uh..."
*(countless)
The eighth day of the eighth lunar month is an auspicious day, suitable for opening a business and for celebrations.
This day was the grand opening of Su Yutang's younger brother, Su Yi'an's Su's GG Company.
The entire commercial street was decorated with a festive atmosphere, with red carpets laid out, flower baskets lined up from the entrance all the way to the street corner, and drums and gongs resounding, creating an extremely lively scene.
The three brothers, Gu Chengyan, Gu Huaiye, and Gu Xizhou, along with Shen Jibai, four men of noble status, personally supported Su Yi'an and celebrated her. This display of power stunned the merchants on the entire street.
To ensure Su Yi'an's opening ceremony was respectable, the group went to great lengths to make arrangements.
Professional dragon and lion dance teams leap and tumble with great momentum.
The specially invited popular movie star made a special appearance at the event to cut the ribbon and perform, attracting countless passersby to watch and scream.
Even relevant officials from the Beijing municipal government made a special trip to offer their congratulations, making the event exceptionally high-profile and rarely seen in the industry.
The three Gu brothers and Shen Jibai immediately pledged to invest in the Su family, providing comprehensive support in terms of funds and resources, which directly elevated the Su family to a level that no one dared to underestimate.
Reporters from various media outlets had already thronged the scene, all pointing their cameras at the red carpet and the stage, snapping photos incessantly, with live streams broadcasting the entire event.
All the cameras in the entertainment and financial sections were set up, their flashes creating a blinding white light that firmly captured the figures of Su Yutang, Su Yi'an, the three Gu brothers, Shen Jibai, and others in the frame.
Reporters pushed forward, microphones in hand, taking photos and excitedly providing commentary.
"The most spectacular opening ceremony in history! The three Gu brothers were all present, and bigwigs from all sides invested collectively. This isn't just opening a company; it's practically launching a new giant!"
The live stream chat exploded with comments, and the entire internet was watching what could be described as Beijing's most sensational opening ceremony of the year.
The Gu residence.
Gu Ruyan stared intently at the grand opening ceremony being broadcast live on television.
In the scene, Su Yutang is surrounded by Gu Chengyan, Gu Huaiye, Gu Xizhou and Shen Jibai, enjoying immense prestige. Upon closer inspection, the company premises are revealed to be a property under the Gu family.
A lump formed in her throat, and she could no longer hold back.
"Clang—"
She swept the table full of fruit, snacks, and teacups off the table, shattering them all over the floor.
Her face was contorted with rage, she trembled with fury, her teeth practically grinding to powder, and she screamed hysterically.
"You bitch! Su Yutang, you slut!"
"Not only do they completely control my three sons, but they even want to use my Gu family's territory to open a business! This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
