The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 810 - 825: She’s Unwilling, but Even More Ambitious

After marrying Gu Haoyuan, she was promoted from assistant to vice-manager. Although Gu Nanxi has returned to An City, he has good friends abroad in the company, so no matter what happens in the company, he will know immediately.

Recently, Lin Yi has planted many of her own people in the company, intending to seize control, because she accidentally discovered that Gu Haoyuan had the lawyer draft a will distribution. He holds 55% of the company’s shares with only 5% belonging to her, while the other 50% belongs completely to Gu Nanxi.

She was unwilling, but even more ambitious, so she deliberately planned an accident, hoping to make Gu Nanxi disappear forever.

Gu Nanxi was certain that the elevator incident was Lin Yi’s arrangement, so he made a phone call to her. When Lin Yi answered the call, Gu Hanjun was right next to her, having heard their entire conversation.

Gu Hanjun knew Lin Yi wouldn’t easily stop, and Gu Nanxi wouldn’t let it go either. He had already cleared out all of Lin Yi’s people in the company, and next would probably be Lin Yi herself.

Gu Hanjun didn’t want to see the two of them fight openly and covertly, and in the end, no matter who got hurt, it wasn’t what she wanted to see. So, she gathered the courage to confess to Gu Nanxi, hoping that if they were together, her mother would no longer fight.

"If we get married, my mother won’t fight anymore, and the two of you can get along."

Gu Nanxi flicked the ash off his cigarette into the ashtray, and when he lifted his eyes, a chill like the bleak late autumn settled on Gu Hanjun.

"You really are pure, too naive to understand your mother."

Gu Nanxi brought the cigarette to his lips, took a deep drag, then continued: "Besides, I don’t like you at all, why would I marry you?"

Before coming, Gu Hanjun was prepared for rejection, but hearing it from him still hurt deeply, as if she were being thrown into a meat grinder, the pain leaving her flesh and blood a mess.

"Can’t you reconsider?"

"Go back and tell your mother that if she can behave from now on, I will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, she will eventually be kicked out of the company."

This was Gu Nanxi’s final warning.

Gu Hanjun knew that no matter how much she said, if he didn’t want it, it was futile. It’s just so heartbreaking to be rejected coldly by the person she liked.

Having been so humbled in her plea, she wanted to retain a shred of dignity. Gu Hanjun stood up from the chair, her clear eyes misty with tears: "I’ll be leaving now, sorry for bothering you."

Gu Nanxi nodded slightly, bent over to extinguish the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and continued to look down at the document he had been reading.

Nearing noon, when it was almost time to get off work, Gu Nanxi received a call from Li Jiaxue, saying she wanted to talk to him about something. They agreed to meet in a restaurant near the company. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When Gu Nanxi arrived at the restaurant, Li Jiaxue was already there. She waved at him from the doorway: "President Gu, over here."

Gu Nanxi turned and glanced her way, then strode over with one hand in his pocket. He pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, nodding slightly: "What can I do for President Li?"

Li Jiaxue leaned forward to pour Gu Nanxi a glass of water before smiling and speaking: "Actually, the reason I wanted to talk to President Gu today is mainly about Zhong Li."
