Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Parents love their children and plan deeply for them
Gu Zhiling sneered, "So what?"
"I’m very dissatisfied with your performance on the variety show. You must quit this show. As for the breach of contract penalty, I’ll have your big brother handle it." Gu Mingde looked at her coolly, his tone almost condescending, "Leave the entertainment industry, and I’ll arrange for you to attend the best university abroad. Or you can choose any place you like."
Gu Zhi still sneered disdainfully, "If Chairman Gu is so capable, just get the entertainment industry to blacklist me. There’s no need for all this nonsense."
"You!"
Gu Mingde was infuriated, and he really wanted to do so.
He had withdrawn all her engagements and scripts, yet other investors blocked his efforts. Who knows who she has sided with, to even protect her so fiercely!
Gu Mingde looked at her with sarcasm, "Gu Zhi, do you think you’re Yiyi? Yiyi was raised as a socialite from a young age, the entertainment industry is her stage. As for you, if you were even half as good as Yiyi, you wouldn’t end up like this. Do you think you can go far relying on those men outside?"
"Rest assured, Chairman Gu, I will certainly live longer and go further than you."
"You are outrageous!" Gu Mingde was furious and slapped the table heavily.
Everyone around was startled, and Gu Mu couldn’t help but scold, "Gu Zhi, how can you speak to your father like this? It’s simply outrageous!"
"Yeah, Zhi Zhi, talk nicely, don’t argue with Dad, he’s doing this for your good..."
"Dad?" Gu Zhi smiled faintly, looking at her nonchalantly, "Don’t use that word to disgust me."
"Zhi Zhi..." Gu Yiyi looked at her with fake concern, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Mingde took a deep breath, veins bulging on his forehead, forcing down his anger, he said coldly:
"If you don’t listen, don’t blame me for being ruthless. The Gu Family has plenty of ways to make sure you can’t survive in the entertainment industry.
And, if I’m not mistaken, aren’t you going to sue your agency? Do you believe I’ll ensure you never win that lawsuit, and then not only will you not survive in the entertainment industry, but you’ll also owe a huge breach of contract penalty."
Gu Zhi was slightly stunned, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She looked down at him, sneering lightly:
"It’s said that parents love their children and plan for their future; Chairman Gu’s planning is truly eye-opening."
Gu Mingde choked, looking up at her with disgust.
Gu Mu, hearing this, frowned with a face full of disappointment, "Gu Zhi, do you think we’re not doing this for your good? But look at what you’ve done, bringing those low-life Qin Family members on the show to embarrass us, are you happy? If you were even half as sensible and obedient as Yiyi, would we have to treat you like this?
As long as you listen to your father and leave the entertainment industry to study abroad, you’ll always be a daughter of the Gu Family, a socialite."
A gleam of disdain flashed in Gu Zhi’s eyes, she retorted sarcastically, "Sure, as long as you publicly announce Gu Yiyi’s identity."
"Gu Zhi..." Gu Mu opened her lips but didn’t know what to say, looking troubled.
Gu Yiyi was taken aback, her eyes also grew colder.
Nearby, Gu Wenbai sneered, "You say all this, but isn’t it just to make us announce your identity? Are you so intolerant of Yiyi?"
"I’m just asking you to announce her identity, not say I want to return to the Gu Family," Gu Zhi looked at him with indifferent eyes, sneering lightly, "The Gu Family’s heiress isn’t something everyone desires."
Having said that, she picked up her bag and turned to walk out.
"Gu Zhi!" Gu Wenbai shouted angrily, his face extremely unpleasant.
A trace of iciness flickered in Gu Yiyi’s eyes, but she maintained a gentle demeanor, looking at Gu Wenfan with a frown, saying:
"Second Brother, go after her, I’m worried about Zhi Zhi..."
Gu Wenfan heard this with some impatience but still got up, looking at her helplessly, "You’re the sensible one."
Outside the door, Gu Zhi left the Gu Family and called for a taxi with her phone.
Behind her, Gu Wenfan’s voice sounded, "Gu Zhi."
Gu Zhi didn’t turn back; the tall figure of the man approached.
He looked down at her arrogantly, "You don’t need to make such a scene with the family, it’s not beneficial to you. No matter what, the Gu Family is better than the Qin Family, isn’t it?"
Gu Zhi looked at him coldly, wearing a white shirt, neatly pressed, with gold-rimmed glasses, portraying a gentlemanly and courteous appearance.
Gu Wenfan, the second brother of the Gu Family, a highly educated returnee, an industry-renowned lawyer.
She sneered, "Who gave you that confidence?"
"You..." A trace of contempt appeared in Gu Wenfan’s eyes as he looked down at her, suddenly feeling she seemed different from before yet couldn’t pinpoint it.
He said gently, "I’ve heard about your case against your agency, to be honest, without the Gu Family’s permission, no one dares to take your case.
Of course, if you apologize to Yiyi and quit the variety show to stop blocking her way, I can help you with the lawsuit, not only ensuring you’ll win but also get the company to compensate you a large sum of money.
You can take that money and spend it as you wish."
Gu Zhi was amused by his words, she even wanted to applaud.
"Do you think I should bow and thank you?"
"Don’t be ungrateful, Gu Zhi." Gu Wenfan’s eyes darkened, his tone turning cold, "Even though we took you back, don’t think you can compare everything with Yiyi and surpass her. In our hearts, Yiyi is the sister we grew up with. As for you, you’re closer to the Qin Family, aren’t you?"
"Yes, yes, you’re right." Gu Zhi nodded repeatedly, couldn’t be bothered to refute, "Just remember what you’ve said, I’m not interested in who’s more important in your hearts, who cares?"
"You..." Gu Wenfan was left speechless, Gu Zhi’s attitude made him feel like punching into cotton.
Gu Zhi didn’t waste any more words with him and walked around him straight out.
Gu Wenfan watched her figure disappear, a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
How could she not care? It’s just that she can’t get it, so she’s acting tough.
One day, she will regret it and come back begging them.
Gu Zhi naturally didn’t know what Gu Wenfan was thinking, she took a taxi straight back to her apartment.
Just as she reached the door, she saw Qin Ji waiting outside again, and she was taken aback.
"Big brother, when did you get here?"
"Just got here." Qin Ji was still wearing the same clothes as before, he didn’t seem to have many outfits, and he was holding a lunchbox, "Mom’s afraid you’ll get so busy you won’t eat dinner, so she asked me to make sure you eat."
Gu Zhi was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on her face.
Qin Ji looked at her, sensing something, "You don’t look well, did something happen?"
"It’s nothing, let’s talk inside." Gu Zhi took his arm, moving to open the door.
She was just thinking, if she found her biological parents, would they be like the Gu Family?
Just as she unlocked the door, she heard another door opening sound.
Out of the corner of her eye, Gu Zhi unconsciously glanced that way, a man dressed in casual attire seemed about to leave.
She ignored him, about to push the door open, but a low, cold voice stopped her:
"Miss Gu."
Gu Zhi paused, turning her head to meet the man’s gaze.
Qin Ji also paused, turned around, and instinctively shielded Gu Zhi.
