Chapter 659: The Gu Family's Wrath
Zhan Yanxun reassured Su Mengyu, saying, "Don't worry, I will investigate who harmed you. But now we have this evidence that proves you are the victim and innocent. I will make Gu Xunjing come and apologize to you for his accusations."
Zhan Yanxun's words made it impossible for Su Mengyu to control her emotions.
That day, Xunjing pointed at her and said she was a scheming woman who had plotted against him. She really didn't expect Xunjing to think of her that way.
But Xunjing must have been devastated back then. They were about to get married, and then this happened.
“It’s okay. I believe that after Xunjing calms down, he will regret saying those things to me. After all, we grew up together, and he knows what kind of person I am. But at that time, it was a huge blow to him. Now that his marriage with Jiang Qianhui has also been ruined, there’s no need for him to apologize to me.”
"He's just being stupid; he fell for someone else's trick and then blames you."
"It's okay. Although I'm very sad, I don't blame him. Zhan Yanxun, please help me. Please help me find the person who hurt me. You need to know who really hurt me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find the person who harmed you."
Whether it's for Jiang Qianhui or Su Mengyu, he will definitely find the mastermind behind it all.
"Thank you."
After Su Mengyu finished speaking, she felt very lonely again.
She murmured, "But... will I ever have someone who cherishes me again? Will I ever be able to pursue the one I love?"
Su Mengyu's eyes suddenly dimmed.
She was the beautiful and confident eldest daughter of the Su family, a woman who walked with a confident stride and had clear likes and dislikes. But now, she felt that her world had lost all its color.
She also lacked the courage to pursue Zhan Yanxun.
"You still want more?"
Zhan Yanxun wondered if she still couldn't let go of Gu Xunjing. Su Mengyu said, "I mean, not Xunjing-gege. I mean... in the future, will I still be able to meet someone I like, and pursue the person I like?"
Su Mengyu was bothered by the fact that she had lost her innocence.
Zhan Yanxun said gently, "You are the victim. The mistakes others made should not ruin your life. You don't need to treat this as a stain on your reputation."
Su Mengyu looked up at Zhan Yanxun as she listened. He was bathed in sunlight, and his warmth made her yearn for him.
……
Gu Group.
Because of Gu Xunjing's sex scandal, the Gu Group's stock continued to fall, plunging it into a major crisis.
Enraged, Gu Xuanwu punched Gu Xunjing.
"Gu Xunjing, look what you've done! Are you trying to destroy the Gu Group?"
Li Wanyin stopped her, saying, "It's obvious this was a setup. Hitting him won't help."
Gu Xuanwu said angrily, "How could I not know he was ambushed? But how could he be so stupid as to be ambushed? It must be Zhan Yanxun! I could have destroyed the Zhan Group, but this had to happen at this time. Our Gu Group's stock has plummeted, plunging us into an economic crisis. It must have been Zhan Yanxun who did it."
Li Wanyin: "So it seems that Zhan Yanxun did all of these things?"
Gu Xuanwu: "Zhan Yanxun is really amazing. He killed two birds with one stone, ruined Gu Xunjing and Jiang Qianhui's marriage, solved the Zhan Group's crisis, and destroyed our Gu Group at the same time."
Gu Xuanwu grew angrier as he spoke, and seeing Gu Xunjing's disgust and anger, he said, "How come Zhan Yanxun is so smart, and you're so stupid? What's the use of your brain? Are you just going to let someone scheme against you like this?"
Gu Xunjing remained silent and did not answer. Li Wanyin asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
"What should we do? We need to figure out how to coax our daughter-in-law back. Are we just going to watch the Gu Group go down in flames?"
Gu Xunjing was both angry and furious. He knew perfectly well that Zhan Yanxun had harmed him, but he had no way to resolve this predicament.
"Which daughter-in-law are you going to coax back?"
At this moment, Su Shiqi walked in aggressively, followed by Ma Zhongling, whose face was ashen.
Gu Xuanwu said, "The matter concerning these two children was orchestrated by Zhan Yanxun."
Ma Zhongling: "Regardless of whether Zhan Yanxun framed them or not, the fact that they had a relationship is undeniable, and the entire country of A already knows about it. What are you going to do with my daughter now?"
Li Wanyin: "No one wants to see something like this happen, but even though we know he was framed, why do we have to force him to marry Su Mengyu?"
Su Shitian: "Enough. You think your son won't suffer any losses? Let me tell you, Gu Xunjing must marry my daughter, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Li Wanyin said angrily, "Knowing that the two children were framed, why did you have to force Gu Xunjing to marry Su Mengyu?"
Su Shitian: "Otherwise, what do you Gu family plan to do? You want to settle this with some money? Let me tell you, the Su family has plenty of money. We're not known as the cash king of Beijing! It seems that it's your Gu family that's short of money now. Now that this has happened, your Gu Group's stock has plummeted. Let's see how long you can hold out."
Ma Zhongling: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If Gu Xunjing marries my daughter, we can let this go, and we'll become in-laws. We can even help your Gu Group through this difficult time. Otherwise, don't blame us for kicking you when you're down."
Gu Xuanwu immediately became alert.
"What do you mean?"
Su Shitian: "Zhan Yanxun resigned from his position as president of the Zhan Group. You all wanted to take over the Zhan Group. You know how much you've done."
"You were about to succeed. Unfortunately, the stock market has crashed, and all your schemes will be ruined. Your situation is precarious; you could go bankrupt at any moment. If no one helps you now, or if anyone opposes the Su family, everything the Gu family has will... vanish into thin air."
Gu Xuanwu said angrily, "We've been brothers for so many years, how are you going to treat me like this?"
“We’ve been brothers for years. We swallowed our anger when your son abandoned my daughter to marry Jiang Qianhui, because we didn’t want to lose you as a brother. But now that your son and my daughter had that kind of thing happen, you’re actually thinking of pretending nothing happened. Who doesn’t consider the other a brother?”
Li Wanyin: "I know that after what happened, there's no point in saying anything more. But marriage needs to be based on feelings. Gu Xunjing likes Jiang Qianhui. Even if he marries Su Mengyu, the two of them won't be happy together."
Ma Zhongling: "Does my daughter think she'll be happy if she's subjected to gossip and rumors? My daughter is a victim too. Why should you pretend nothing happened and continue to happily marry your daughters-in-law? How is my daughter supposed to live the rest of her life? Who will want her in the future?"
