Chapter 160: What will happen if a woman's concern for a man develops?
After Gu Qinglan finished explaining her reasons, she looked at Gu Mingqian, as if to say, "Since Gu Jinxing is like this, Dad, you must have some kind of finality."
Gu Mingqian's expression remained unchanged as he asked Gu Qinglan again.
"If what you said is true, how do you think Jinxing should be dealt with?"
Gu Qinglan's heart was in her throat. She hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Gu Jinxing’s actions have all gone against the interests of the Gu family, and he should no longer serve as the group’s president. As Gu Jinxing’s aunt, I should have defended him, but given his behavior, it would be fair to all members of the Gu family if Father did not take action. I believe that Gu Jinxing is no longer suitable to remain in the group and hold any position.”
"In addition, the initial investment funds for Gu Jinxing's company in the United States came from the Gu family, and all the shares he holds in the company should belong to the Gu Group."
How could he have such a greedy daughter?
This was the first thought that automatically popped into Gu Mingqian's mind after hearing what Gu Qinglan said.
It's no wonder Gu Mingqian thought that way.
Gu Jinxing obtained everything from the Gu family, and the Gu family has the right to dispose of it.
But these businessmen all know how much effort it takes to run a listed company; it's not something that can be done simply by having money.
Gu Qinglan not only wanted to drive Gu Jinxing out of the company, but also wanted to embezzle Gu Jinxing's personal assets.
Gu Mingqian was not unaware that Gu Qinglan and Gu Jinxing did not get along.
Just as Gu Jinxing said before, Gu Qinglan's existence is to check and restrain Gu Jinxing.
After all, Gu Mingqian is still alive. He doesn't want to hand over all power to Gu Jinxing, but he's afraid that Gu Jinxing will be too impatient to take control of the Gu family once he's in power. That's why he's sharing power with Gu Qinglan.
However, if Gu Mingqian had to choose between Gu Qinglan and Gu Jinxing, he would still choose Gu Jinxing without hesitation.
However, Gu Mingqian didn't want to make a decision yet. He wanted to see how many more things Gu Qinglan would reveal that he didn't know if the argument continued.
Gu Mingqian then asked Gu Jinxing.
"Jinxing, how are you going to refute the points Gu Qinglan made?"
Gu Jinxing looked at Gu Qinglan and asked a question.
"How does marrying Shen Wancheng damage the Gu family's image? If we're talking about losing face, who can compare to Gu Jintian today?"
When Gu Qinglan thought of Gu Jintian, she immediately pictured Gu Jintian being bullied by Shen Wancheng in public today.
Gu Qinglan said sternly.
"Since when have victims become the objects of ridicule and shame? Who bullied Tian Tian like this today?"
“My aunt didn’t see the whole thing. Coincidentally, I was watching from my fiancée’s side the whole time. I don’t think it was bullying. Gu Jintian has no manners or upbringing. My fiancée, whether as her cousin-in-law or as the future matriarch of the Gu family, has the right to help you discipline her.”
Gu Jinxing rarely talked to Gu Qinglan this much.
She never expected that Gu Jinxing's words would be so infuriating.
"Discipline?"
"I'm still here, your mother! How dare she, a lowly... junior, try to discipline me?"
Gu Jinxing retorted coldly.
"If you knew how to discipline her, would Gu Jintian have done such impolite things today?"
"besides...."
Gu Jinxing paused at this point, but slowly stood up and walked to Gu Qinglan in surprise.
Gu Jinxing stared coldly at Gu Qinglan and asked.
"My well-mannered aunt, what were you about to say as 'despicable'? Junior? Or something?"
"Is this how you raise your children?"
Gu Qinglan was so intimidated by Gu Jinxing's imposing aura that she couldn't help but take a step back.
She shouted.
"Gu Jinxing, we're talking about official business now. What are you trying to do? Suppress us with force? This is a society governed by law!"
"Oh."
Gu Jinxing sneered.
"Aunt, is the so-called rule of law society you speak of just a bomb that suddenly explodes in the mountains of the mainland?"
As soon as Gu Jinxing said this, Gu Qinglan's pupils contracted sharply.
A voice inside me kept repeating itself like a mantra.
What to do? Gu Jinxing knows everything.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Gu Qinglan's lips trembled, and it took her a long time to finally speak.
"Aren't you alright now?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Qinglan realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Gu Qinglan looked at Gu Mingqian in horror.
But she found that although Gu Mingqian was standing there, he was looking at the ancestral tablets and didn't look at her at all.
Gu Qinglan changed her words.
"Gu Jinxing, I don't want to talk to you about these trivial things. The important thing is that the group's shareholders have collectively petitioned to have you removed from your position."
Gu Jinxing nodded.
“Alright, there’s no need to wait until tomorrow. Gu Jinhao must have already notified all the shareholders. Auntie, please make the contact again and we can hold the shareholders’ meeting tonight.”

Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing became much closer because of their previous experience in Africa.
During the period leading up to their engagement, although the two did not meet every day, Gu Jinxing would call Shen Wancheng every morning and evening.
On the night of the engagement, after returning home, Shen Wancheng waited until nine o'clock in the evening, but Gu Jinxing did not call. Confirming that Gu Jinxing probably wouldn't call that night, Shen Wancheng went to sleep.
Shen Wancheng got up at seven o'clock the next morning.
She didn't see Shen Yao, and knowing that Shen Yao and Ke La had gone for a morning run, Shen Wancheng casually asked Liu Ma, who was preparing breakfast.
"Aunt Liu, did anyone call this morning?"
"Mr. Xu called and asked you to come back to the mansion this morning."
"understood."
Shen Wancheng returned to the dining table to wait for the breakfast prepared by Aunt Liu, and belatedly realized that she felt a little disappointed.
Shen Wancheng sighed to herself.
"Habits are terrible."
"Ring ring~"
Just then, the telephone in the living room rang.
Shen Wancheng got up to answer the phone.
"Hey."
"It's me, Gu Jinxing."
At that time, there was no caller ID, and the person answering the phone would first state who they were.
As soon as Gu Jinxing revealed his identity, Shen Wancheng felt her heart calm down inexplicably.
Shen Wancheng composed herself and asked the question first.
"Did everything go smoothly last night?"
"Yes, everything went smoothly, but things aren't completely resolved yet. It should be finished by noon. Shall we have lunch together?"
"it is good."
The phone call between Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing ended after a short while, but Shen Wancheng's visibly calmed state of mind made her realize that she was actually worried about Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng understood what this concern would become if it continued to develop.
This caused Shen Wancheng to feel confused for the first time since she transmigrated.
