Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 453: V338: Gu Zixuan’s whole body felt cold,

Rong City.Late night.

The moment Gu Zixuan received the news, her blood froze completely.

Her whole body became cold as ice, as if countless icy needles pierced her head.

Why is there another investigation? Wasn’t everything settled already?

Listening to her mother’s late-night call, her voice low and wavering, carrying a thread of urgency, "Zixuan, your father’s friend has already sent news from Beijing, saying the disciplinary committee people will arrive tomorrow morning and will bring your father in for questioning again. And this time, I heard the evidence is conclusive, suspected of corruption, extremely serious in nature... Zixuan, what should we do?"

Qiu Yuan’s voice couldn’t help but tremble, although she maintained her usual elegant tone, she couldn’t hold back from losing her voice.

Gu Zixuan was even more overwhelmed by the chill, her voice shaking, "Corruption? How could there be corruption? How could father be corrupt?"

"I understand too, especially given our family’s wealth, why would we need to embezzle such a meager amount of public money..." Qiu Yuan seemed emotionally shattered but tried to hold it back, "Zixuan... our family... might really have offended someone. Otherwise, why not make a call to ask President Feng to help, otherwise your father might really..."

Some words Qiu Yuan could only choose to leave unsaid, considering Zixuan is pregnant, as a mother...

Qiu Yuan couldn’t bring herself to say it, yet the hesitation on her mother’s side of the call seemed to shake Gu Zixuan’s heart instantly.

Unsure if it was a woman’s sixth sense.

Gu Zixuan felt that her mother’s words were hinting at Feng Chengjin.

But such thoughts jumped scarcely for a second before she thought she was going crazy!

Even though Feng Chengjin did go to Beijing around this time, it was planned months ago! It’s just a coincidence; how could he be harmful to her family? Besides, even if her father didn’t come to an agreement with Feng Chengjin, her mother’s attitude towards him was still fine, wasn’t it? How could even her mother have an opinion?

The enormous pressure overwhelmed her, and Gu Zixuan felt she had been overly sensitive lately.

Maybe her mother just thought Feng Chengjin could be helpful; what was she thinking all day long!

Pressing her lips together, she rose to put on slippers, walked to the wardrobe to grab a coat, and said, "Mom, don’t worry, wait for me at home, I’ll change clothes and come back."

"Alright." Qiu Yuan’s voice shook but did not refuse.

Before leaving, Gu Zixuan changed her clothes and called Feng Chengjin.

Unfortunately, it was turned off.

Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, paused for a moment, no time to overthink.

Wrapping herself in the camel-colored woolen coat, she rang the bell to call the driver and went out the door.

...

Late night, arrival at the Gu Mansion.

The Gu Mansion was already in complete turmoil, Gu Zixi had just returned, looking weather-worn, seemingly only minutes earlier than Gu Zixuan.

Gu Zixuan’s uncle and a cousin’s uncle were also there.

One was a director in a prefecture-level city, the other a deputy director at the provincial level.

Upon seeing Gu Zixuan, their faces showed heaviness and anxiety, "Xiao Xuan."

"Uncle, Uncle." Gu Zixuan managed a small, awkward smile, and greeted them.

The Gu Family usually preferred quiet, rarely gathering for lively events, and no one expected this gathering was for such a reason.
