“Do you want me to repeat myself?” The man uttered icy words through thin lips.

The secretary felt the air of danger Gu Yu was emitting and did not dare to say anything more of the matter. He shook his head frantically. “N-no thank you, I understand now.”

Gu Yu shot him another glance and noticed that he was still standing there. He asked lazily, “You have a lot of free time or something?”

The assistant’s head throbbed like a drum as he blustered, “No, no, I still have plenty of work left to do, so if you’ll excuse me… sorry for bothering you.”

He turned his head and ran off once he finished speaking.

After regaining his wits, the assistant wiped cold sweat from his forehead and gulped down a glass of milk tea to calm himself.

He made a mental note to never bring up Xu Weilai in front of Mr. Gu again!

Back inside the office, Gu Yu was going through files. He flipped through a few pages, but he couldn’t seem to process any of it. He tossed them aside as he leaned back in his chair and took a cigarette out of the pocket of his suit jacket. He lit the cigarette in his mouth, breathed in deeply, and blew out the smoke.

The smoke wafted through his office, creating a haze in front of his eyes.

He was well aware of the kind of people that were a part of the Gu family. They were harsh and capitalistic, always holding themselves above others with a façade of nobility and purity, while actually doing corrupt acts in the dark. If it hadn’t been for the fact that his grandfather was mourning the death of his beloved son and didn’t want his grandson to be left without family, he wouldn’t have returned and accepted his family. As for the many things his family had done in the past, he had always turned a blind eye.

Because he was the heir, the family naturally curried to Gu Yu’s favor. However, none of them had given Xu Weilai much regard when the Xu family had been at its peak prosperity, let alone now, when the family was fallen. She was still not accepted into the family, even as a wife.

It wasn’t hard to imagine the kind of treatment she would be receiving tonight!

But what about it? She had insisted on marrying him for his money and would, therefore, have to shoulder the burden that came along with that. She was the one who had asked for all of this!
