On that afternoon, Gu Ya was able to find Shu Cheng to make her complaints just like the group of old people who were fired, venting the dissatisfaction in their heart. Shu Cheng did not comfort her, and he didn't need to, he tossed the documents prepared by Shu Heng over to her. Gu Ya's face turned whiter by the second, she thought that her clean up was very successful but her weakness was still caught.

Gu Ya was, after all, no normal woman, she wasn't even embarrassed, she just sighed and not another word came of her.

Shu Cheng put down his tea cup, and spoke with an insipid gaze:"Sister."

Hearing that word made Gu Ya's heart jump, she had a bad feeling about this, could something else have been exposed?

"Since the day you entered the Shu family doors, we've known each other for several decades, Ling Yun......was too free, causing you much exhaustion, busying about at home and at work, and everybody has seen what you've done."

"Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"The seniors had a soft side for you, and perhaps you may not know, but the old man said before he passed that we are not to touch the second house, because the only one holding up the family is just one woman, and it's not easy."

"......"Gu Ya was slightly moved, Shu Cheng had never said such things before this, and especially not Shu Gao, but she was willing to believe it, who hadn't made mistakes at the start? No matter how many times it happened, it's already been done, and it will be so even if she ruins one of the bigger projects. Thinking about it really makes one sad, so it turns out uncle had been treating me so sincerely.

"I promised dad I'd take care of you and the second house, so your position won't be affected if you don't go overboard behind my back, I'll just pretend I never saw it, and it won't matter to me, I would even help you tuck your tail if someone ever investigates the matter."

Gu Ya was a smart woman, she looked towards Shu Cheng with a steady gaze. What did he mean by all this? Are her benefits gone?

Shu Cheng moved onto the main topic:"I've always been healthy so I never expected that I too, would be bed-ridden from sickness, the Shu clan will be under Shu Heng in the future, he's not your senior nor is he close to you, so even more so he would not be willing to let you out the back door, sister, it's been many years, I hope you walk a good path ahead of you."

Give them rice and they owe you, take it from them, and you owe them.

Shu Cheng caught the flash of a grim light flashing past Gu Ya's eyes, he helped~ And he helped, and now that benefit was gone, what would she think of it? You have the ability to do it, so why don't you continue doing it? Someone who has already grown dependent on you would not be grateful, but would instead hate you, and you would become their enemy for the rest of their lives.

On that year, Shu Gao told Shu Cheng two stories about their neighbours, one was a poor man and the other a rich man, a natural disaster had broken out and the rich man had a good heart, and helped to relief the poor, while the poor thought, you're such a rich man, why can't you give me more? Why can't you just help me cross through the storm directly? A good man should help to the very end. This rich man is simply too terrible, he's heartless.

Greedy people will never reflect on their own behaviour, and they would never be grateful. That is why Shu Gao never told them, nor let Shu Cheng tell them, so that the second house would not turn into dependent people who do not put effort in their work. But now having Shu Heng around the company was already a regular thing, sooner or later the position of chairman would also belong to him, even if he wanted to continue on with these unspoken rules, his son will be having none of it.
