Chapter 1404 Not Important Anymore 7

Before Gu Lingsha could finish, Gu Qiwu had already cut her off unhappily, “Enough, stop now. I’ve already made plans. Lingsha, I’ve never treated the two of you poorly, but you’ve got to know how to be content too. I just don’t want to see you two sisters be caught up in these disputes.”

“Meanwhile, I owe Lings.h.i.+ too much. Some things might turn out to be a burden for you in your hands. Don’t go thinking that I haven’t done enough for you.” He looked at Gu Lingsha with that gloomy expression of his.

Yes, he did not plan to evenly hand Hui Gu over to the sisters. That way, he could still prevent infighting between the sisters just like how Qi Qiming and w.a.n.g Qin had. In the end, it could only end in tragedy!

He had already lost Mu Zixi, and then his only son, Mu Lingtian. Now, even his first wife, Doris, was gone…

All of the pressure that he had been taking on suddenly found a s.p.a.ce to be released, especially after this incident. It instantly overwhelmed everything his heart could take.

Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha just smiled sadly. “Father, do you feel like I’m lagging far behind Mu Lings.h.i.+? Don’t you understand why Mother recklessly risked her own life?”

Gu Qiwu’s eyes darkened as he looked at her disdainfully from the corner of his eyes. “Do you want the Hui Gu Corporation?”

Gu Lingsha bit her plump lips and continued to smile wistfully. “What else did you think? I think it’s unfair! My mother’s gone. You can’t just favor Mu Lingsha. You know how important Hui Gu was to Mother, but you were never willing to relent!”

At this moment, Gu Qiwu finally expressed what he had kept in his heart for so long, “I used to think that Hui Gu was very important too, but ever since your brother, Lingtian, pa.s.sed away, I suddenly felt that it wasn’t as important anymore. I have always known that your mother wanted those shares. If she could’ve been kinder, I might have given them to her, but after considering how all of these might be exposed in time to come, and Lings.h.i.+ or more people would be threatened, I couldn’t give them to her.”

“I used to think that your brother, Lingtian, died because of Mu Yuchen. I once wanted to take on Mu Yuchen, but I couldn’t ignore what consequences might come after that. I had already let Zixi down, and I know how the Mu family treats Lingtian and Lings.h.i.+. Because of this dilemma, so I couldn’t truly… I thought this secret could always be kept a secret, but unexpectedly…Otherwise, it’s not a bad thing to just keep on living peacefully like this.

Gu Qiwu’s sickly pale face suddenly flashed with a faint trace. He silently looked at Gu Lingsha, who looked sullen, as he said earnestly, “I know. Perhaps, you resent me for what happened to your mother. Everything happened because of me and should be a burden borne by me. I just don’t want you to be like your mother and trouble your sister, Lings.h.i.+. She didn’t know anything, and now she might not be willing to acknowledge me as her father. As for you, if you knew how to be more content, you might be happier.”

“Happier? Father, do you think I can even use this word at this point?”

“I will leave you some a.s.sets. I won’t treat you poorly, but when it comes to Hui Gu, I hope you won’t interject and fight for it.”

“Father!” Gu Lingsha looked at Gu Qiwu sourly.

“I’m doing this for your own good. Alright, I’m tired now. Go home,” Gu Qiwu closed his eyes and coldly asked her to leave.

“To you, I’m afraid that’s all there is to it while Mother and I can’t compare to Mu Zixi and the rest, huh? I really feel sad for Mother. What do you think outsiders are going to think of me? Or of Mother? Father!”

Gu Qiwu did not answer while his expression was cold. Gu Lingsha’s cheeks were streaming with tears…

She silently looked at Gu Qiwu who had already closed his eyes to rest. Although she wanted to say something, in the end, she said nothing. Biting her lip, she turned around and walked towards the door.

When Gu Lingsha was about to vanish through the doorway, Gu Qiwu’s calm voice came through, “When you find that Hui Gu Corporation isn’t actually that important, then you are qualified. You don’t have the right att.i.tude while your sister’s different. This is why I’m hoping you won’t interject. You’re like your mother. You’re too purposeful and you scheme too much. In fact, you’ve got Qi Feng with you…”

Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha paused and a sarcastic smile flashed across her lips. “Father, how dare you say that Mu Lings.h.i.+ doesn’t have any motive or isn’t scheming? She was just taking one step back in order to advance two steps forward! You owe me and Mother too much! She was forced into a corner by all of you!” she snapped before continuing to walk ahead.

Bam!

The loud crash of the door closing vibrated through the entire room.

Gu Qiwu then opened his eyes and looked with a dim gaze at the shut door. When he thought about the way Gu Lingsha slammed the door in such a crossed manner, he could only smile sorrowfully.

This was his mistake!

Doris’s funeral took place four days after Gu Lingsha returned to City Z.

The funeral was low-profile with only people who were frequently in touch with her and some guests that Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha invited in attendance.

Gu Lingsha wanted to bring Doris home to England, but unexpectedly, after her meeting with Gu Qiwu, she fell sick with a severe cold and even had to get Morrison’s help to attend Doris’s funeral. Thus, the matter of returning to England had been delayed, and Qi Feng arranged for Doris’s ashes to be put to rest at West Hill Cemetery.

Inside the Chairman of Glory World’s office, Mu Yuchen was standing coldly before the window with his hands leisurely behind his back.

“Master, it’s Doris’s funeral today. The ceremony is at 10 a.m.”

After reporting the day’s agenda, Li Si carefully brought up the news, “Missus has sent Lan Zilang to go over.”

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen sighed. “Make a trip there to pay respects on behalf of me too. Also, cancel this afternoon’s meetings.”

“Yes, Master! Second Master Qi just called. He’s invited you for tea at the Bamboo Teahouse this afternoon at 3 p.m.,” Li Si replied.

“Mmm, okay,” Mu Yuchen answered calmly, “Has Gu Qiwu’s matter been settled?”

“If everything goes well, he should be able to be bailed out by noon today, but, Master, I noticed that he doesn’t seem to quite care anymore. Could it be because of Doris’s pa.s.sing that he now…?”
