Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 81: Car Owner

Gu Zuhui saw Master Gu's stormy expression when he came back, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. "Father, why were you in such a rush to get me back home? I finally managed to get in contact with one of the managers of the Yin family!"

"Why? Why?!" Master Gu immediately threw the cup in his hand towards him. "Don't you know what you've done? You've ruined the future of the Gu family! You useless child! Unfilial child!"

"Father, please don't be angry!" Gu Zuhui didn't dare to dodge the projectile, only letting the old man take out his anger on him. "What happened?"

Gu Zuhui motioned for the butler to show him the newspapers.

Gu Zuhui glanced at the news before his eyes widened slightly in surprise. He had already known that Gu Xiqiao was outstanding, but never this much!

"You go tell her that we've already sent Ah Jin abroad to never come back to our country ever again. If she's willing to come back, she'll be the only heir to our family!" Master Gu said as she looked at Gu Zuhui. "As long as she will come back, we'll comply with all of her conditions!"

Gu Zuhui didn't dare to speak back against this choice of Master Gu's, but he was still dissatisfied with this decision. He felt bad for letting a talented individual go, but to give the family to her? What is this child's play?

What could the girl even do if she came back to the family? She had never dealt with the matters of the enterprise before so she was definitely less experienced than he was...Was his father going senile?

In any case, would she even come back after acting out that time?

"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Master Gu knocked on the table in the living room sternly. "My intuition has never been wrong!"

Without any choice left, Gu Zuhui could only try to contact Gu Xiqiao, but he didn't know how to do that, and upon seeing his conundrum his assistant reminded, "Sir, Miss Gu might be at her school."

Gu Zuhui nodded and let his chauffeur bring him to First City High, and while there were many students there, he found Gu Xiqiao in the crowd that was together with two of her friends.

Seeing a young man in a suit walk over, Wu Hongwen blocked in front of Gu Xiqiao warily.

Gu Zuhui's assistant waved his hands harmlessly. "Miss Gu, Chairman Gu is waiting for you."

Gu Xiqiao looked at him, the smile on her face disappearing as she did. In all honesty, the people that she wanted to see the least now were those people from the Gu family, and she thought that she had already made it abundantly clear. "I'll be done quick, wait for me okay?"

Seeing Gu Xiqiao, Gu Zuhui first praised her on her achievements, before telling her what he was here for, "Your grandfather said that you will be able to inherit the entire Gu family if you come back."

After that, he kept an eye out for the girl's reaction. The Gu family was counted as a family that was quite well off in N City, and would definitely be enough of a bargaining chip to cause almost anyone to drool at their mouths. Even he himself wasn't entrusted with the entire family by Master Gu!

He had expected for Gu Xiqiao to be taken aback by this news, but the girl's expression remained as cold and unaffected as always.

Did she not know how much that was worth?

"What I wanted was never the Gu family." Gu Xiqiao smiled. "Mr. Gu, I thought I already made things clear with you last time, I hope this will never happen again."

She was smiling, but there wasn't even a hint of warmth behind her smile.

Looking at her leaving silhouette, Gu Zuhui suddenly remembered the documents that she left them and felt a sudden pang of fear. If he really managed to anger her, would she give all of this evidence to the authorities? Thinking of this, he didn't dare to linger any further and told his chauffeur to bring him back.
