Chapter 473: V358: Does this mean he wants to live with her at the Gu Family?
Gu Zixuan’s emotions began to crumble.It was inevitable because, as time went on, things became clearer.
Gu Zixuan began to understand the true purpose of the other party.
If the intention of the other party wasn’t to accuse her father of the serious crime of corruption, there could only be three remaining reasons.
Firstly, a minor issue wouldn’t attract the inspection from the disciplinary committee at the Beijing level; it had to be a major corruption case. The true intention of the other party was to stall for time, causing the reputation of the Gu Family to be tarnished day by day, making everyone in the circles of Rong City believe her father was involved in a major scandal. Even if exonerated, only mockery would remain...
Secondly, even if it’s not about reputation, there might still be another ulterior motive. In other words, the other party’s current mindset is like a cat playing with a mouse, just waiting to deliver a fatal blow when they are most relieved. Given the current situation, this possibility is highly likely... Over the past four years, the Gu Family’s frequent decline is already crystal clear...
Thirdly, the other party might really be connected to Feng Chengjin... The aim was to stall for time, making Gu Zixuan aware of this possibility, and then step by step push her into despair.
After all... it had been two days since her father’s incident, and this was already the third day.
Except for that day when he didn’t speak up to help, Feng Chengjin really... never showed up again.
Gu Zixuan was in distress; any of these three possibilities could drive her to despair.
In this situation, He Qimo, seeing her condition, decided to take her out to relax for a bit, starting with a meal.
He forcibly pulled Gu Zixuan out of the office.
Got into the car.
There wasn’t even a chance for Gu Zixuan to say "no."
He adjusted the seat’s incline for Gu Zixuan once more and took a blanket to cover her.
Then he started the car.
He preheated it because it was winter, and the car hadn’t been driven for several days. Even if it was a luxury car, He Qimo was meticulous about car maintenance and wanted to wait for the car to warm up a bit before driving. It was also intended to provide Gu Zixuan with a more comfortable environment.
"I’ll take you to eat first, and tonight we won’t stay at the company. We’ll go home to accompany your mom, and I’ll go back with you."
Was he saying he wanted to stay with her at the Gu Family?
Gu Zixuan’s expression paused. Though she understood, in these past eight years, He Qimo often went to the Gu Family with her to sleep.
But considering they used to be separated, there weren’t many thoughts about it, nothing ever happened, and it was fine.
Now...
Looking at her own belly, thinking about the man who made her pregnant night after night, and thinking of whoever was beside He Qimo now...
Gu Zixuan felt awkward. She wanted to refuse, feeling that everything else was manageable, but this was probably inconvenient now.
However, He Qimo firmly released the handbrake button, simultaneously saying, "It’s decided, let’s eat first. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll sleep with Zixi at night. You can just take a picture and send it to Feng Chengjin."
He Qimo was insistent, and he had said this much already.
Gu Zixuan had nothing left to add, after all, her guilt towards He Qimo would never...
Plus, she was simply too tired; knowing she still needed to comfort her mother, she indeed needed He Qimo to share the burden, so she did not refuse again.
But as He Qimo shifted gears, Gu Zixuan turned her face away.
Thinking of Feng Chengjin, sensing that at a time when she most needed support... even the one she thought least dependable, He Qimo, had stepped up, while he...
Her eyes reddened slightly, a shallow pain washed over her.
