Hello, Heir Chapter 340 - Who Was Framing Her? (8)

After he heard this, Gu Deshou’s expression finally became less tense.

Li Yufeng was already covering her face and sobbing quietly.

After Zhuang Nainai heard this, she realized that she had hoped for too much.

Li Yufeng had only slapped Gu Xingshan so suddenly and decisively because she had wanted to protect her daughter!

But Li Yufeng had underestimated Zhuang Nainai.

The matter regarding the design drafts had already blown up. Even if she were to take the Gu Corporation’s drafts that were made by their own designers to Si Zhengting, would he listen to her explanation?

As she thought about that, the corners of Zhuang Nainai’s lips curled up into a sneer.

Then she stood up, glancing at Li Yufeng and Gu Deshou. “The Imperial Group isn’t a place that she can enter as she pleases. Thus, there must be someone in the Imperial Group who has been helping her all this while. You’d both better figure out who that person is. Perhaps we’ll be able to resolve the problem if we find out who that is.”

Li Yufeng remained silent. Gu Deshou nodded.

Zhuang Nainai stood up. She no longer wanted to concern herself with the matter regarding the design drafts.

The wise man knows he knows nothing, whereas the fool thinks he knows all. The truth would come to light once Sister Si returned.

With Si Zhengting’s resources and his expertise, it was definitely possible for him to figure out who the spy in the Imperial Group was, whereas she… After she had figured out the truth behind the matter, she felt weary and emotionally exhausted.

Zhuang Nainai walked out of the Gu residence. She saw Su Yanbin’s sports car waiting for her at a short distance away.

She walked slowly toward it and got on.

Sitting at the back of the car, she felt as though she didn’t have the strength to even wag a finger. The poise that she had maintained in the Gu residence was one that she had maintained painstakingly.

Su Yanbin asked, “Where to?”

Where to?

Zhuang Nainai looked lost. Yes, where should she go to now?

She wanted to look for her mother. But before she could do that, there was some preparatory work to be done.

Thus, she was in a daze for a while as she deliberated. Then, she replied, “To Xibali Village.”

After Zhuang Nainai left, the living room in the Gu residence was silent for a few minutes.

After a while, Li Yufeng suddenly stood up, looking at Gu Deshou as she said, “Even if we were to catch hold of the spy within the Imperial Group now, we might not be able to quell Mr. Si’s anger and save the company. I’ve thought of a way to help the Gu Corporation evade being sued.”

Gu Deshou was stunned. “What kind of idea is that?”

―

At the Imperial Group’s office on the top floor…

It was well positioned under the sun’s rays. Logically speaking, everyone on the floor should be basking in the warm glow of the sun. However, everyone was shrouded in Si Zhengting’s dark, foreboding aura.

Every single employee was holding their breath and paying rapt attention. No one dared to breathe loudly.

Ding!

Ji Chen stepped out of the elevator as the sound rang out. He slowed down as he reached the entrance. He saw Mr. Si silently lowering his head. He didn’t know if Mr. Si was registering the doc.u.ments in his hand. However, there weren’t any signed doc.u.ments at the side.

Ji Chen paced outside the office for quite a long period of time. In the end, he knocked on the door and entered the office. “Mr. Si, there’s been some recent developments regarding the design drafts matter.”

It was only then that Si Zhengting reacted. He lifted his head, his cold gaze landing on Ji Chen’s face.

Ji Chen lowered his head. “The legal department has just received a call. The lawyer received a call from the Gu Corporation’s lawyer, and the Gu Corporation’s saying… saying…”

Si Zhengting furrowed his brows. His voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e as he said, “Saying what?”

Ji Chen lowered his head again, trying make himself as small as possible. “They’re saying that they had paid Madam to draft their designs. As for why it was similar to TZ’s designs, we have to ask Madam. They’re asking us to check if the drafts were really stolen. If so, they are planning to sue Madam for swindling them of their money.”

Ji Chen wasn’t even comfortable with saying such harsh words. Gu Deshou was too sinister! He was making his own daughter take the bullet for his company!

After Ji Chen finished speaking, the pen in Si Zhengting’s hand snapped with a “bam!”
