Chapter 56 - A Change In Attitude

When Gu Jingrui saw Gu Nanyu entering, he put down his newspapers and spoke in a cold, unfriendly manner.

"How's Little Ze? I send the butler to the city hospital to check, but the doctor says that he wasn't treated there. Where did you bring him to?"

That day, Gu Nanyu brought Little Ze away from the house as he had a fever. From then till now, this was the first time she had returned home.

"He's fine. His fever has gone down, and he's more alert now. However, the burn will leave a scar. So, the doctor says that he can do reconstruction surgery after he has recovered."

Gu Nanyu's tone no longer had that domineering and antagonistic tone when speaking.

Just as Fu Beichen said, if you behaved with hostility, the people around you would not take it kindly and treat you as an enemy.

If you were not so aggressive, they would naturally ignore your presence.

This military strategy was called 'appearing weak.' Gu Nanyu felt that what Fu Beichen said had some truth to it.

Hearing that her tone had altered entirely, Gu Jingrui simply nodded at her with great satisfaction.

Then, he tried to flaunt his position as the head of the house and started nagging her.

"For a family to prosper, it must have peace and harmony. Even though your third uncle has his faults, you must still respect him as a senior and not talk back to him like that. Anyway, I've sent the maid Xiaoli away. After Little Ze is better, I'll send the driver to fetch him home. After all, being home is still far better than staying in a hospital."

"Don't worry, grandfather. Little Ze is in the military district hospital. My uncle arranged the place for him there. There are professionals taking care of him now. When he has recovered, they will send him home."

Every time Gu Nanyu called Fu Beichen her uncle, her skin would crawl with awkwardness.

However, since she was conversing with Gu Jingrui, she had to bite her teeth and utter these repulsive words.

When Gu Jingrui heard that the Fu family was taking care of Little Ze, his expression became kinder and gentler than before.

"So, it's the Fu family. I'll send your second uncle and third uncle to visit Little Ze later. They can also meet your maternal grandfather and uncle as well."

Gu Nanyu snorted silently in her heart. After all, she knew that all he wanted to do was to grovel to them. However, she did not leak her real emotions on her countenance.

"Definitely. I will tell uncle later and ask him to make the necessary preparations."

As she uttered those words, Gu Ming'an and Gu Xiang'an walked into the room.

When Gu Xiang'an came, the first thing that he noticed was the cast on Gu Nanyu's arm.

As expected, a look of revolting glee appeared on his face.

Yesterday, Captain Liu called him and said that everything had been done.

Now that he saw Gu Nanyu was riddled with injuries, he secretly rejoiced that Captain Liu had done his part as instructed.

Gu Xiang'an was merely waiting for Captain Liu to call him and send the video.

When he got hold of the video, he would share it with the reporters to leak it to the world to witness.

Gu Nanyu's true identity would definitely be revealed and he would be kicked from the Gu family. No one would ever find out that the mastermind is none other than me!

"Oh my, you merely left for two days. How did you hurt your arm?" Gu Xiang'an looked at her injured arm with a sense of schadenfreude.

"It's fine. During the basketball match yesterday, some of the opponents from the Second Senior High School were too arrogant. So, they fought with our team and my arm was injured." Gu Nanyu conveniently blamed the injury on the students from the Second Senior High School.

Gu Xiang'an merely sneered maliciously in his heart as he watched Gu Nanyu.

Keep pretending. I'll see how long you can put on this act.

When the video is leaked, you'll get to taste actual excruciating pain!

Suddenly, Gu Nanyu seemed to think of something. Hence, she looked at Gu Xiang'an and Gu Ming'an and said.

"Second uncle, third uncle. I have something to discuss with you two. I would like to give the 15 percent of the shares I have to you to manage. As both of you know, I have zero ideas on the company affairs. Second uncle, third uncle, you just need to give me some allowances every year, and I'll be happy."
