Chapter 683: I Might Be Leaving City S
Mu Yiliang was a bit shocked!
Although she had only met Gu Benhong once, her impression of him was that he was a very upright and scholarly businessman who was attentive in guiding and nurturing Gu Qingqian. Gu Qingqian always spoke respectfully of Gu Benhong, indicating that he was a quite responsible father, but she never expected this...
She clicked her tongue twice, "And now?"
"I heard things are at a standstill," Xiao Chen said, "But the possibility of divorce is quite high... because someone in the company saw Mr. Gu and his first love going in and out together..."
Mu Yiliang was taken aback. If they did divorce, then Gu Qingqian...
"If Mr. Gu divorces his current wife and marries his first love, and that illegitimate child is even a few years older than Young Master Gu, then the illegitimate child would have more claim to Fengye’s inheritance..." Xiao Chen finished his gossip, feeling satisfied, and didn’t forget to spare a bit of sympathy for Young Master Gu, "Poor Young Master Gu, in the blink of an eye, the largest share of Fengye was gone, and in another blink, most of the remaining shares are about to be split again, alas."
In fact, given Gu Qingqian’s temperament, he probably doesn’t care about the shares at all. What he likely cares about is Gu Benhong’s actions in this matter, right? To him, Gu Benhong’s actions would be nothing short of a betrayal...
Thinking about it, this young man is only just over twenty, and if such a matter isn’t handled well, he could suffer a big loss. Who knows what kind of people Mr. Gu’s first love and that illegitimate child truly are? Should she remind Gu Qingqian?
But given his personality, if she dared to bring up this matter in front of him, she’d probably get torn apart, right?
So she hastily dismissed the idea.
"Finished gossiping, get back to work." Mu Yiliang waved at Xiao Chen, and the three quickly left the pantry.
Mu Yiliang poured some water and returned to her office, only to be startled to the point of nearly stumbling as soon as she walked in!
A man was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, projecting an indescribable sense of desolation.
She recognized him and tentatively asked, "Young Master Gu?"
The man turned to look at her, his face expressionless—who else could it be but Gu Qingqian?
Having just heard the gossip about him, she felt a bit conflicted in her emotions.
"What brings you here?" Mu Yiliang dared not show any concern and asked indifferently, "Did you want to inspect my work performance? I think I at least haven’t embarrassed you..."
"Yiliang." He spoke slowly, "I might have to leave S City."
Mu Yiliang’s face showed just the right amount of surprise, "Why? Are you going to start your own business now?"
He displayed a mocking smile, "The matters of my family have spread throughout the company, and you still pretend not to know?"
Mu Yiliang, caught in her pretense, awkwardly coughed, "I only found out two minutes ago, I swear!"
He glanced at her, a hint of sadness and bitterness appearing on his face.
In just a few days, the rawness and innocence in him had quickly faded away, clearly showing that the family upheavals had forced him to mature.
Mu Yiliang’s sympathy surged for a moment, "I think the priority is to figure out the intentions of that mother and son... I think your father might have been deceived..."
He smirked cynically, "Deceived? Haha... I only found out a few days ago that he never loved my mother all these years! If that were the case, why did he marry her in the first place, and why did he have me?"
