Just by looking at his face, Su Qinglan realized something was wrong.

"What's the problem?"

She had no knowledge of the Gu family, and this feeling of bewilderment only doubled her emotional anxiety, especially with Gu Jinchi's worried but silent look, which really made her anxious.

"Gu Jinchi! Don't hide it from me, okay?"

On impulse, she directly shouted his name. Seeing him retract his eyes to look over, Su Qinglan explained, "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, what can you change by hiding it from me?"

Visible to the naked eye, she saw Gu Jinchi's tightly furrowed brows relax a bit, and his expression softened a lot, "I'm not trying to hide it from you, but a lot of things are too complicated."

"It's okay, we have all the time in the world, you can take your time telling me, but I will never allow you to hide it from me."

Su Qinglan looked into his eyes, word for word incomparably serious.

While she was serious, he relaxed, reaching out to rub her hair, "The Gu family has absolute ambition, and I'm worried that the person who comes over will be detrimental to the company if he's raised by the family."

Hearing this, Su Qinglan had also sensed the tricky situation ahead of time, and immediately frowned, "Then I'll contact my aunt and uncle and tell them that now that you're awake, there's no need for anyone to come anymore."

"No need, don't worry, even if it comes, I'm still here." Gu Jinchi's eyes went cold, no matter who it was, don't even think about trying to take away his things.

What worried him more now was still what was the purpose of them sending something like this to Gu Jinchi.

"But how can ... add to the trouble at this juncture?"

"What, don't believe you man me?" Gu Jinchi even flirted in order to make her relax.

These words instantly made Su Qinglan's ears redden, and facing the ambiguous distance that suddenly came over, she drew back and dodged away, "I don't mean this, I just think that it's better to do more than less."

"And ..."

Looking at those photos on the table, and the words on that one letter, her heart rang alarm bells, this kind of thing to threaten, is when they have no bottom line?

"So what are you going to do about this?"

She didn't believe that Gu Jinchi would choose to sit back and watch like this, this matter wasn't just using him as a threat, but their son as well.

After lightly kissing her forehead, Gu Jinchi said in a deep voice, "I won't let you down, and by withholding the indication, they will be even more rampant."

Doing so was nothing more than trying to force him to go back, and although the Gu family had ambitions to grow outward, the family was still incredibly mindful of its members leaving.

No one used to mind their own business because of his health problems.

Now that they had made such a big fuss in T, they had come to him, and it had nothing to do with that.

In the evening, Gu Jinchi dialed the international phone number with a heavy heart.

Answer the phone and it comes through with a gentle female voice that puts him on hold for a moment before changing to a different person.

"Jinchi, you still know to call me?" Old Master Gu's serious and low voice came out, his opening tone very unkind.

At once, Gu Jinchi's anger was also aroused.

But he held himself, there was no need to bother with this kind of older person. Only faintly reminded, "There's a problem with the Gu family."

Unsurprisingly, after a cold snort came from the other end of the phone, Elder Master Gu disdainfully said, "Now that you won't even return to the Gu Family, who gave you the guts to command the Gu Family's length?"

Suppressing his irritation, Gu Jinchi took a deep breath.

"Someone was spying on me and Ze and sent a threatening letter, something I hope you don't know about."

After a moment of silence, Old Master Gu's voice calmed down a lot, "I don't know, what happened?"

"Someone is using me and Ze to make Qinglan make a choice, being in K but having your hand out so far, I wonder if you've been slacking off lately or if you're purposely condoning it?" He asked in a cold voice.

Compared to other families, the Gu family was extraordinarily emotionally thin, and in the past, just fighting for a position was worth a group of people fighting, even going so far as to fabricate accidents.

"That's the name of the wild woman you found out there? Who allowed you to come talk to me like that for a woman?!" As if he had been touched to his bottom line, Elder Master Gu angrily questioned over the phone.

Listening to the suddenly elevated volume, Gu Jinchi just held the phone away from him, "Don't come and denigrate her, I have my life and won't let you manipulate me, these are the things that you personally promised to do when you canceled my heir status."

Being a huge family, things like inheritance rights are available to juniors of the same age.

But he, excluded from it because of his lethargy, was also blessed with the opportunity to develop his career in the imperial capital, again recuperating his body in this relatively quiet place.

According to the stubborn notions of the older generation, the union had been chosen for him before they had found out about it.

Then the engagement was annulled, and he chose the woman he liked, so why should she be subjected to such unsatisfactory treatment?

But Elder Master Gu didn't care about that, he was just venting his anger on the phone, "Asshole, where is the respect for elders and children in your heart, you've risen outside for so many years, have you eaten it all in your stomach?"

Somewhat unable to bear it, Gu Jinchi's face darkened, "If you're still prepared to scold, there's no need for this call to continue."

He was, after all, his own grandson, and even if there were more juniors, he was still Old Master Gu's closest bloodline.

"Talking to me like that over a woman, you've eaten your heart out too. I don't know who the disturbed person is, but as long as you don't come back, I'll just deal with this matter as out of sight, out of mind."

Such a hasty and absurd way of handling things was also very much the way of the old codger he hated.

Going back to that kind of place was not on his mind at the moment, but it seemed that if he didn't go back, he would face other problems.

"Fine, if you don't check, I'll do it myself." After saying that, without giving Elder Master Gu a chance to speak, he directly hung up the phone, turned his head and slammed it hard against the wall with a circle.

The muffled sound of this one startled Su Qinglan, who was eavesdropping outside.

Out of fear for Gu Jinchi, she immediately pushed the door in and nervously checked up on his fists.

Luckily, it's just a bruise and a reddish color.

Under anger and heartache, Su Qinglan couldn't help but chide, "Why are you doing this to yourself for someone else's problem, how much does it hurt to do this for a bit."

"And Lin Xiaoxiao called and warned me again and again that you can't get angry, and that emotions also stimulate the nerves of God affecting the hormones, which will most likely make the results less than desirable."

Seeing her complaining while looking for a medicine kit to help him bandage his hand, Gu Jinchi reached out and took her into his arms again, "I'm sorry."

Gu Jinchi's voice was deep and muffled, along with indescribable self-reproach and guilt.

Frozen for a moment, Su Qinglan put down the things in her hand and also encircled his waist, "You're also a victim in this matter, what are you apologizing to me for."

"I didn't protect you and Xiao Ze, if I hadn't left in the first place, it might be a different landscape now." At least, if he had a foothold in the Gu family, he wouldn't have been able to influence Su Qinglan with their recklessness.

But Su Qinglan didn't think so, she crouched on his chest and slowly said, "But if you didn't make this choice, you wouldn't have met me, and you wouldn't be the person I am now, and maybe there would be no Xiao Ze."

"So, do you still think you made the wrong choice?"

She could always convince him in a few words.

Gu Jinchi's rambling mind withdrew for a moment, focusing on the petite yet warm person in his arms.

"Forgive me, ma'am, I was the one who said the wrong thing."

Pfft, Su Qinglan didn't hold back and laughed out, "What is this for, I just hope you don't think so much, since we're married, we're on a license, and if there's something, we should solve it together."

He rubbed her hair, his pupils darkening in response, "Well, work it out together."

What can't be solved by running away, then solve it head on.

Early the next morning, without any notice, a raw face arrived at the Gu Group with a letter.

It wasn't appropriate to insist that it was a new face, for Gu Jinchi, there were still a few encounters with him.

"This is what the councilor asked me to bring to you, and I'd like to ask you to take a look at it."

Looking at the envelope with the Gu family's specialized fire-painted seal, Gu Jinchi only had disgust.

In the age of advanced internet communication, this is still being played.

That old master always liked to write things right out and act like it was guaranteed to get done if someone else collected it.

He took the letter but didn't read it.

Cheng Yi's eyes moved from the letter to the person, respectful through detached, "You don't want to read it?"

"There's no point in looking at something like that. You do look familiar to me."

Gu Jinchi sized him up, trying to rummage through his memory for a little fragmentary impression.

But the Gu family has quite a lot of industries in K. In which industry, which company, can't even think of.

"Mr. Gu has a good memory, my name is Cheng Yi, I'm under the assistant to the chairman of the board of directors department, and I've had a little friendship with your father."

Once Cheng Yi said that, he understood.

Cheng Yi's position, however, was somewhat awkward as a result.

Should he say that Cheng Yi was the old master's man or his father's man.

"Who sent you? The chairman of the board? Or my father?"

Gu Jinchi simply planned to ask for clarification.

"It's your father."

Cheng Yi replied, but this answer made little sense, relying only on the words of one mouth, Gu Jinchi didn't believe anyone.

In order to break the deadlock of such a tit-for-tat fight, Su Qinglan spoke up.

"I wonder if the nature of the Gu Group is the same as the company you used to work for?"

The man's eyes lingered on her for a moment, as if making an assessment, and slowly asked a somewhat provocative question.

"You are?"

Gu Jinchi's face instantly darkened, "She's my wife."

Although Cheng Yi changed his words in time, he was unable to salvage his impression here in Gu Jinchi.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Cheng Yi, on the other hand, looked like he was just being perfunctory.

Moreover, Su Qinglan clearly could feel contempt in his eyes.

She didn't make a sound, if she alone didn't like her, then she had nothing to say.

If it was a face to give on behalf of the Gu family, she couldn't help but worry about what kind of attitude those people would have if they actually went to the Gu family.
