The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1224 - Threat 2

1224 Threat 2

The circle was only that big after all. Gu Lingsha’s incident was already abuzz in City Z, and Mu Lings.h.i.+ only listlessly watched things unfold.

When she caught Xi Xiaye’s name in the newspapers, she thought that something was odd, but she did not ask too much either because Xi Xiaye would know what to do.

“Do you know about Shasha?” Doris probed.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ smiled. “I’m sure everyone in City Z does. You didn’t call me here for coffee just to chat, did you?”

“You’re quite a frank one.” Doris looked impressed at Mu Lings.h.i.+. She lowered her head to take a sip and then continued, “I know that Gu Qiwu’s looked for you before. Is he planning on acknowledging you as his daughter? Maybe even let you take over the Hui Gu Corporation? I heard that he’s even secretly watched over your husband, Mu Lingmo, quite a few times now.”

Doris was obviously very clear about Gu Qiwu’s whereabouts, so obviously, the fact that he had met Ah Mo was something she knew about.

“I’ve told you before that I’m not interested in the Gu family’s matters, so obviously, I wouldn’t know.” Mu Lings.h.i.+ lowered her gaze and added coldly, “Even if I did, why would I tell you?”

“Based on your tone, I’ve probably guessed it right! Mu Lings.h.i.+, don’t blame me for not warning you. Gu Qiwu is a despicable person. Do you think that he’s come to his conscience and is accepting you if he could take advantage of Shasha and lie to me? You’re wrong. He’s only getting close to you for Mu Yuchen and the Mu family. Don’t forget your mother and your grandmother, oh, no, it should be your grandma, and how they died!”

Indeed, no one could not say these things in front of Mu Lings.h.i.+. Once Doris did, Mu Lings.h.i.+’s expression instantly fell!

The truth was that it did not matter whether she was willing to admit it or not, but w.a.n.g Hui really did pa.s.s away from being too sad over Mu Zi and Gu Qiwu’s incident…

When she saw Mu Lings.h.i.+’s expression darken, a sneer curved on Doris’s lips, and the light that gathered in her eyes was twisted. “We’re all victims. I’m hoping to get some justice. Of course, you can also get some for your late mother and your grandma, so I hope that when it comes to this, you can stand firm on your ground.”

“Stand firm on my ground? What are my grounds? Because of these grudges, should I give up on being in touch with Gu Qiwu, and let all of you bystanders profit? Why? Even though I’m not materialistic, why should I give up on something that could benefit me? Do you take me for a fool? Or did you think I was a dumb woman like Mu Zi?” Mu Lings.h.i.+’s tone was filled with coldness and disdain.

Upon hearing that, Doris was stunned. She fell silent for a moment and did not continue with this topic. Instead, she smiled and said, “Mu Lings.h.i.+, you and your brother, Mu Lingtian, as well as your mother, Mu Zi are quite different in character.”

“Since you’ve said that, give me a price then. $10 million or $50 million? Or $100 million? What will it take for you to give up taking over the Hui Gu Corporation? Right now, Hui Gu’s going through a tough time. Even if you want to get through with it, it won’t be easy. No one knows whether only an empty sh.e.l.l will be left after this or not. If you’re smart, just take this money, you’ll profit and lose nothing for sure.” As Doris said this, you could hear a faint hint of gloominess in her tone.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ would not have considered things so thoroughly. On the other hand, someone smart like Doris could weigh the pros and cons of the whole situation more accurately.

Just think about it. If Gu Qiwu wanted to use this chance to lean towards Mu Yuchen, because of Mu Lings.h.i.+, Mu Yuchen might not have done anything to Gu Qiwu. When the time came, whatever conditions Mu Yuchen asked of Gu Qiwu, the latter would probably just agree to them.

That meant that Gu Lingsha was in danger!

Doris understood things. Instead of thinking that the whole incident was pure coincidence, she was more inclined to believe that it was the work of Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye!

Right now, Gu Lingsha was still locked up at the police station. Before Mu Yuchen returned, she needed to quietly and secretly settle all of this well and get Qi Feng on her side. By the time arrived, she might even be victorious!

Gu Qiwu, Mu Yuchen…

If they were to compare viciousness, they could not compare to her, Doris!

As Doris thought this, the sneer on her lips became even more bitter and icy cold, but she looked at Mu Lings.h.i.+ with an extremely calm gaze.

Of course, if you thought that Doris had met Mu Lings.h.i.+ just to discuss this, then you would have underestimated her!

In truth, when Mu Lings.h.i.+ sat across Doris, on the lower floor of the cafe, through the gla.s.s window you could see a black car parked across the road. A HD camera was taking pictures of this scene.

Clearly, Doris was capturing all of this to turn into an exquisite gift for a certain person…

…

There was a knock on the door.

“Boss, Doris has sent you a gift!”

Gu Qiwu had just rushed back from City B and had just entered his study room when Ah Yong’s voice came from outside.

“Come in!” Gu Qiwu’s gloomy and clearly fatigued voice was heard.

Ah Yong quickly pushed the door to enter. He looked ahead subconsciously and what greeted his sight was Gu Qiwu’s exhausted demeanor.

Gu Qiwu was undoubtedly tormented and had been going through tough times recently.

There was the thing with Missus Doris, and then Mu Zi. All of these unfortunate incidents had been quite stressful for him. Forget about his personal reputation which took a dive, but a stock market unrest was natural too. Thankfully, he had come up with some countermeasures before this. Otherwise, it would have been very bad if the situation continued.

However, before these storms could blow over, something happened to Gu Lingsha again!

These things came one after another, exhausting Gu Qiwu’s state of mind. Right now, even if he wanted to acknowledge his daughter, Mu Lings.h.i.+, she would not forgive him so easily.

So, in just a few short months, Gu Qiwu turned very gaunt and he seemed to have aged by decades.

Ah Yong stood for a long time at the door. After a while, Gu Qiwu propped his head up with one hand to close his eyes and rest. Before him was a doc.u.ment that was left open…

Gu Qiwu did not look up as he asked with a solemn voice, “What is it?”
